Services

Ready-made, or made to measure.

Every project starts by learning the work. Then we decide together what it needs: a good existing model, fitted with care, or a model of your own. Most companies begin with the first and reach for the second where it pays.

Ready-made

An existing model, fitted to your work

For work that general models already do well: drafting, summarizing, answering from your own documents, filling in forms. The craft is in the fitting.

  • We map the workflow and the data it touches.
  • We choose the model and connect it to your documents and tools.
  • We agree a test and measure the model against it.
  • We deploy on vLLM in your cloud or server room, or on your Macs with Melix.
  • We keep it running and bring in better models as they appear.
  • If your data cannot leave your building, we do the work offline on site.

Made to measure

A model of your own

For work that depends on what only your company knows (its terms, procedures, formats and software), or when you need a smaller model that runs on your own hardware.

Everything in Ready-made, plus:

  • a dataset built from your material, with a dataset card;
  • fine-tuning and preference tuning on your people's real tasks;
  • continued pre-training, when your field's vocabulary is missing from general models.

How a project runs

  1. Understand the business.

    You receive a written map of the workflow and where AI helps.

  2. Choose the level.

    You receive a proposal: ready-made or made to measure, with scope and the test we will use.

  3. Prepare the data.

    You receive a dataset card.

    Made to measure only.

  4. Train.

    You receive weights and an evaluation report.

    Made to measure only.

  5. Deploy.

    You receive a versioned model and a runbook.

  6. Maintain.

    You receive a change log for every release.
