Is tiny LLM an oxymoron? I believe Apple has told us it’s a transformer language model, but not specifically a LLM.

It's like how the "New Forest" is really old now: even small LLMs are (from what I've seen which isn't exhaustive) large compared to Markov language models.

There's no difference. An LLM is just a transformer language model that's "large".
