Llama-3 8B was the most powerful small AI model a few hours ago.
Microsoft has just released Phi-3 Mini which is better in almost every benchmark.
You can use it locally for free as it's open-source (details below):

A great Windows Copilot update rolling out
15 Apr 2024
Windows Copilot has just been massively improved:
It can now understand any file on your PC.
You can drag and drop a PDF, for example, and ask it to explain or summarize it.
Then it can take it into account for the following answers.
Closer and closer to a real AI computer.
