Ask HN: Is anyone doing anything cool with tiny language models?

I mean anything in the 0.5B-3B range that's available on Ollama (for example). Have you built any cool tooling that uses these models as part of your work flow?

I used a small (3b, I think) model plus tesseract.js to perform OCR on an image of a nutritional facts table and output structured JSON.

what are you feed into the model? Image (like product packaging) or Image of Structured Table? I found out that model performs good in general with sturctured table, but fails a lot over images.
