Phi-4-mini-instruct - AI Language Models Tool

Overview

Phi-4-mini-instruct is a 3.8B-parameter lightweight language model from Microsoft, part of the Phi-4 family. It is designed for high-quality reasoning and instruction-following tasks and supports very long contexts. The model supports a 128K token context length and is optimized via supervised fine-tuning and direct preference optimization. It is intended for commercial and research use in memory- and compute-constrained, latency-sensitive environments.
