SLM-Agents: 1st NeurIPS Workshop on SLMs for Agentic Systems
The 1st Workshop on SLMs for Agentic Systems (SLM-Agents 2026) at NeurIPS focuses on small language models as the foundation for autonomous AI agents, emphasizing their deployment on resource-constrained devices like smartphones, robotics, and IoT systems. It bridges efficient model architectures, agentic reasoning, and edge computing to address challenges in latency, privacy, and energy efficiency.
