Search Engine Journal contributor Matt G. Southern has published an article highlighting the Bing search updates.

She says, “Microsoft has announced updates to Bing’s search infrastructure incorporating large language models (LLMs), small language models (SLMs), and new optimization techniques.

This update aims to improve performance and reduce costs in search result delivery.

In an announcement, the company states:

“At Bing, we are always pushing the boundaries of search technology. Leveraging both Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs) marks a significant milestone in enhancing our search capabilities. While transformer models have served us well, the growing complexity of search queries necessitated more powerful models.”

Using LLMs in search systems can create problems with speed and cost.

To solve these problems, Bing has trained SLMs, which it claims are 100 times faster than LLMs.”
