What this means for your project
A buyer needs a reproducible task, a specific model version and a cost boundary. Evaluate candidate models against the same documents and questions, including questions that should be refused.
What to confirm
These references do not prove revenue, current model superiority or performance on your data. Check the exact model checkpoint, license, infrastructure and service terms.
What to evaluate
- Fix the dataset, prompts and model versions.
- Compare correctness, citations, latency and cost per completed task.
- Test the target language and realistic concurrency.
