BioWater, an 8 billion-parameter LLM fine-tuned on wastewater treatment knowledge, achieved higher comprehension-fidelity scores than human experts and matched a 397-billion-parameter general-purpose LLM in retrospective cognition and prospective extrapolation. Local deployment of such small-scale models became more sustainable than cloud-based large models as inference demand grew in intelligent WWTPs.
Key points
BioWater reached higher comprehension-fidelity scores than participating human experts.
Small-scale LLMs deployed locally were more sustainable than cloud-based large-scale LLMs as inference demand increased.
