We Built a 270m Local Model to Detect Phishing Urls

As small models continue to improve, and edge hardware becomes more capable, we would really like to run larger models that could incorporate full page content and screengrab data, which would be more likely to catch these kinds of attacks.

But we also find that sites that do one shady thing usually do others, which is a big reason why a tiny model like this can work - and why we are betting on low latency being a differentiating factor in real-world impacts.
