Phi-4-mini

Phi-4-mini is Microsoft's 3.8-billion-parameter open model — small enough to run on a modest laptop (about 3 GB at 4-bit) yet capable on everyday tasks: summarising, drafting, classification and simple code. It has a 128K-token context window, far larger than most models its size, so it can read long documents. Released under the permissive MIT licence, it is the go-to 'fastest local' option when you want instant answers and do not need frontier-level reasoning.
