Matching frontier LLMs at 22 lower latency: a 184M-parameter intent classifier for healthcare text

1. 1Fine-tune a pre-trained DeBERTa model with 184M parameters on a healthcare intent classification dataset
2. 2Compare the performance of the fine-tuned model with state-of-the-art LLMs like Claude Haiku 4.5 and GPT-4o
3. 3Optimize the model for low-latency inference using techniques like model pruning or knowledge distillation
4. 4Deploy the optimized model in a production-ready environment to classify healthcare text with high accuracy and low latency
5. 5Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the model by estimating the inference cost and comparing it to other approaches

NLP engineers and data scientists working on healthcare text classification tasks can benefit from this approach to improve model performance and reduce latency

💡 Fine-tuning a pre-trained DeBERTa model can achieve high accuracy in healthcare intent classification with significantly lower latency and cost compared to state-of-the-art LLMs
