Core Skills

From Model Choice to Optimized Inference

Model Selection & Benchmarking

Comparing models against your task, not generic leaderboards.

Fine-Tuning & Adaptation

LoRA and QLoRA fine-tuning matched to your data volume and budget.

Quantization & Inference

Reducing model size and latency without sacrificing usable quality.

Self-Hosted Deployment

Serving open-source models on your infra when privacy or cost demands it.

Evaluation & Safety

Automated benchmarks that catch regressions before release.

Prompt & Context Optimization

Consistent output at the lowest practical token cost.

Our Approach

How We Land on the Right Model

01Benchmark candidate models against your real task
02Fine-tune or prompt-optimize the strongest fit
03Load-test for latency and cost at your expected volume
04Deploy with evaluation and drift monitoring in place

Data Handling

Your Fine-Tuning Data Stays Yours

No Training on Your Data

Fine-tuning datasets and evaluation prompts stay scoped to your project, never reused elsewhere.

NDA Before Discovery

Signed before any technical conversation touches your model choices or data.

How We Vet

Beyond Leaderboard Trivia

01

Model Benchmark Walkthrough

Candidates critique a real benchmark result and explain what it does and doesn’t prove.

02

Cost/Latency Tradeoff Interview

We ask how they’d choose between a hosted API and a self-hosted model for a given budget.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know Before You Hire.

The questions we hear most from teams hiring a llm developer. Don't see yours? Ask us directly on the right.

A generative AI developer focuses on the product layer — features built on top of AI models. An LLM developer works one level deeper: selecting, fine-tuning, and optimizing the language model itself for accuracy, latency, and cost. Many engagements need both skillsets together.

It depends on your data privacy requirements, expected volume, and budget — hosted APIs are faster to start with and require no infrastructure, while self-hosting an open-source model can be more cost-effective at scale or necessary when data can’t leave your environment.

Fine-tuning adapts a base model to your specific domain, tone, or task using your own examples. Many use cases perform well with good prompting alone — we’ll evaluate your accuracy requirements honestly before recommending the added cost and complexity of fine-tuning.

We build a task-specific evaluation set from your real data and score candidate models against it on the metrics that matter to you — accuracy, consistency, latency, and cost — rather than relying on generic public benchmarks.

Often yes — through prompt optimization, model routing (using a smaller model for simple requests), response caching, and quantized self-hosted alternatives where appropriate.

Typically a shortlist within 3-5 business days and full onboarding within one to two weeks, depending on your systems and any procurement requirements.

Yes — our support retainers include re-evaluating newer model releases against your benchmark suite and recommending upgrades only when they demonstrably improve your actual metrics.
