 | The choice between hosted and open-source models is rarely ideological.
Hosted models can reduce time to market and operational burden. Open-source models can offer more control over deployment, data handling, customization and unit economics at scale. The right decision depends on workload, risk, latency, volume and the engineering capacity available to operate the system.
We evaluate these trade-offs when building <a href=https://ai-development-services.com>custom AI systems</a>. Our wider engineering scope is described at https://ai-development-services.com, and the <a href="//ai-development-services.com">AI development services overview</a> explains how model selection fits into the architecture. How are teams here making this decision for production applications? |
