Choosing Between Fine-Tuning, RAG, and Custom Model Training
Custom AI model development starts from your data instead of a public default. Fine-tuning adapts an existing foundation model to your terminology, your policies, and your edge cases. Training from scratch builds an architecture around a metric no existing model can hit. Either way, the output is engineered to move a business number, not to demo well in a sales call.
Fine-Tuned LLMs and Small Language Models
We adapt foundation models like GPT-class, Claude, Llama, and Mistral to your terminology, policies, and edge cases using LoRA and QLoRA, or train smaller task-specific models that run cheaper at high volume without giving up domain accuracy.
Predictive and Forecasting Models
Supervised models for demand forecasting, churn, credit risk, and predictive maintenance, trained on your historical data and backtested against your current baseline so the improvement is measurable, not assumed.
Computer Vision Models
Object detection, defect inspection, and image classification models trained on your imagery, built for the latency and accuracy a real production line or diagnostic workflow actually needs.
Recommendation and Ranking Engines
Personalization models that rank products, content, or next-best-actions using embeddings and learning-to-rank, designed for the cold-start problem every new user or new catalog item creates.

Most model development questions collapse into one decision before any code gets written. Do you adapt a foundation model to your domain, ground it in your own documents through retrieval-augmented generation systems, or train something from raw data because no existing model comes close. Each path has a different cost curve and a different failure mode. Guess wrong and you rebuild twice.
For most language-heavy problems, fine-tuning or RAG on an existing foundation model reaches production accuracy in weeks, not months, and costs a fraction of training from zero. Training bespoke models still makes sense for structured prediction and computer vision, and for cases where self-hosted large language model deployments are required for data residency reasons.
Fine-Tuning a Foundation Model
Best when the task is language-heavy and you have a few hundred to a few thousand high-quality examples. Adapts an existing model to your terminology and policies without training from zero.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Best when your knowledge changes often or is too large to bake into weights. Grounds answers in your documents with citations, no retraining needed when content updates.
Training a Bespoke Model
Best for structured prediction, forecasting, or vision tasks with a clear metric to beat and enough labeled data. Gives full control over architecture and behavior.
When Enterprises Actually Need a Custom Model
If more than one of these sounds familiar, a generic model is probably costing you more than it's saving.
