AI is evolving - and smaller is now smarter.
As large language models dominate headlines, a new revolution is happening quietly at the edge: Small Language Models (SLMs) engineered with Agentic AI principles. These compact, autonomous systems promise the power of intelligence without the massive cost, data footprint, or latency of cloud-heavy architectures.
Small Language Models Engineering with Agentic AI is your complete guide to building, training, and deploying small-scale yet highly capable language systems - designed for efficiency, autonomy, and enterprise-scale reliability.
Written by Robertto Tech, a leading voice in applied AI system design, this book bridges the gap between research theory and real-world engineering. You'll learn how to design edge-resident agents that think, plan, and act - enabling smarter, leaner AI deployments across embedded systems, private infrastructures, and enterprise solutions.
