WHY WE PICKED IT
Microsoft's efficient small language models with strong reasoning capabilities, MIT licensing, and optimized for resource-constrained environments.
GETTING STARTED
Visit Microsoft's Phi project page (microsoft.com/research/project/phi) or aka.ms/phi for documentation. Download model weights from Hugging Face (huggingface.co/microsoft) or GitHub (github.com/microsoft/phi-msft). For API access, use Azure OpenAI Service or Azure AI Studio. Deploy locally using compatible frameworks like ONNX Runtime, Transformers, or DirectML. Phi-4 models (14B parameters) are available under MIT license with no restrictions. Follow Microsoft's documentation for optimal deployment and fine-tuning.
