Kept running into API limits, rate limits, and stupid token costs for stuff that should just run locally. So we put together SmolModels—small, self-hosted AI models for specific tasks like fraud detection, risk scoring, and ticket classification. No need for huge datasets or LLM API calls, just small, efficient models trained with synthetic data/your data that you can actually run yourself.

We open-sourced it here: SmolModels GitHub. Been running a few of these in production, and they hold up way better than expected. Figured others might find them useful too.
