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)
