Phi-4-mini-instruct
Microsoft
A 3.8B-parameter open small language model for instruction following, reasoning and function calling in compute-constrained environments. Microsoft documents on-device use and ONNX Runtime optimization. It is general-purpose and needs agrifood-specific grounding and evaluation.
