Which LLM should I use for my product?+
Depends on the task. GPT-4 and Claude are best for complex reasoning and long context. Gemini has strong multimodal. Open-source (Llama, Mistral) wins on cost and data privacy. We benchmark all of them against your use case in discovery.
How do you handle LLM costs?+
Caching (semantic + exact), prompt optimization, routing cheaper models for simpler queries, streaming to reduce perceived latency, and rate limiting. We've reduced monthly LLM bills by 60–80% for clients without hurting quality.
What about hallucinations?+
We ground LLMs in your data using RAG, enforce output schemas with function-calling, add citation requirements, and run automated fact-checking passes. Hallucination rates drop from ~15% baseline to under 2% in production systems.
Can the LLM run on-premise for data privacy?+
Yes — we deploy open-source models (Llama, Mistral) on your infrastructure. Trade-offs vs. commercial APIs include slightly lower quality and operational complexity, but data never leaves your environment.
Do you do prompt engineering?+
Yes, but as one tool among many. Prompt engineering alone is fragile. We combine it with RAG, fine-tuning, function-calling, and evaluation pipelines — so quality doesn't depend on prompt tricks.
