Make the model yours.

We tune models on your data so they speak your domain, match your format, and cost less per call.

The economics

The 20% of your AI workload eating 80% of your bill.

Most AI spend follows the Pareto rule: a small set of high-volume, repetitive tasks drives the majority of your inference cost, and that is exactly where tuning pays for itself fastest.

01

The hidden cost is the prompt

Run everything through one big general model and you pay to re-teach it on every call, long prompts packed with examples, instructions, and formatting rules, billed token by token, forever.

02

Tuning collapses it

Train a smaller model on those specific tasks and it internalizes the format and tone. The prompt shrinks, the per-call cost drops with it, and a 7B–13B model can match a frontier model on the narrow job it was tuned for.

03

It compounds at volume

A few cents saved per call is nothing at a hundred calls and everything at ten million. The savings scale with the exact tasks you run most.

Cost per call · Same task

Base model

long prompt, every call
100%

Tuned small model

short prompt, same accuracy
~10–20%
5–10×
lower cost per call on tuned tasks
2–4×
faster responses at inference
Prompts keep growing, instructions get longer and pricier on every call
Output won't stay consistent, the model follows your format, then drifts
The base model doesn't know your domain, terminology or tone it has never seen
Capabilities

The full model customization stack

From baseline eval to a tuned model running in your stack. All in-house, all measured.

Model tuning

Baseline eval through deployment and optimization. End to end.

Supervised Fine-Tuning

Train on your labeled examples so the model internalizes your format, tone, and domain, not re-instructed on every call.

LoRA and Parameter-Efficient Tuning

Adapter-based tuning: strong results from a few hundred examples, at a fraction of full fine-tuning's compute and cost.

Evaluation Frameworks

Every project opens and closes with a measured eval, so you see what tuning bought, accuracy, consistency, cost, in numbers.

Inference Cost Optimization

Shorter prompts, smaller models, right-sized infrastructure, cutting the per-call cost that scales with your usage.

Model Distillation

Compress a large model into a smaller, faster one, the quality your product needs, without the latency or the bill.

Deployment and Monitoring

We deploy into your inference stack with monitoring, so regressions surface before your users do.

Tuning in production

Where a tuned model earns its place

The clearest wins come when a tuned or optimized model does the same job for less, or a job the base model couldn't do reliably at all.

How to work with us

Three ways to engage.

Whether you need to know if tuning is worth it, run a tuning project, or keep a model sharp over time, there is a model that fits.

Feasibility & Eval

Find out if tuning is worth it

A fixed-scope assessment: we benchmark your base model, review your data, and tell you honestly whether tuning beats prompting, with a projected before-and-after. No commitment to a full build.

Tuning Project

A tuned model, measured end to end

The full cycle: baseline eval, dataset prep, training runs, and deployment into your stack, with a measured before-and-after so you know exactly what tuning bought you.

Start a conversation →
Ongoing Model Ops

Keep the model sharp over time

Models drift as your data and usage change. Ongoing retraining, eval monitoring, and optimization as a retainer, so performance holds instead of quietly degrading.

FAQs

Common Questions

1How is RAG different from fine-tuning? Which one do we need?

RAG gives the model access to up-to-date information at query time. Fine-tuning changes how the model behaves. If the problem is that the model does not know your documents, RAG is usually the answer. If the problem is that the model does not follow your format, tone, or domain conventions, fine-tuning is more appropriate. Many production systems use both.

2Do we need a lot of data to fine-tune a model?

Not always. Techniques like LoRA can work with a few hundred high-quality examples for many tasks. Quality matters far more than quantity. We assess your data during discovery and tell you honestly whether fine-tuning is feasible before you commit to anything.

3Can you work with our existing OpenAI or AWS setup?

Yes. We are infrastructure-agnostic and integrate with whatever you already have. We are not trying to replace your stack, we are building on top of it.

4Will a tuned model actually save us money?

Often, yes, but only when it makes sense, which is exactly what the baseline eval is for. Tuning can replace long, expensive prompts with a model that already knows your patterns, and distillation can move a job to a smaller, cheaper model. We project the cost impact before you commit, so you are deciding on numbers, not hope.
