Custom AI Model

A custom AI model trained on your data — measurably better at your specific task than the alternatives.

$16,000sprint2 weeks

[ WHO IS THIS FOR ]

CTO or ML lead at a company where off-the-shelf models underperform on domain-specific tasks.

You need this when:

General-purpose LLMs aren't accurate enough for your domain
Proprietary data could make a custom model significantly better
Prompt engineering has hit its ceiling and you need the next level of performance
You need a smaller, faster, cheaper model that matches large model quality on your task

[ ROI FRAME ]

RETURN ON INVESTMENT

At $16K, you get a purpose-built model instead of months of internal experimentation. Custom models typically reduce per-query costs 5–10x while improving accuracy 15–30% on domain tasks — the ROI compounds with every inference.

WHAT YOU GET

Fine-tuned model deployed and ready for inference
Training pipeline (reproducible for future iterations)
Evaluation report with benchmarks vs baseline model
Data preparation scripts and documentation
Cost and latency analysis vs alternatives

WHAT YOU PROVIDE

Labeled training data or examples of desired input/output pairs
Clear task definition and evaluation criteria
Access to cloud compute (or we provision on your account)
Domain expert available for data quality review

[ ALTERNATIVES ]

Prompt engineering only (hits ceiling on complex domain tasks)
Internal fine-tuning effort (requires ML depth most teams lack)
Larger model with more tokens (expensive at scale, diminishing returns)
