Custom LLMs vs. ChatGPT

Every business is asking the same question: Should we use ChatGPT or build our own model? The answer depends on three factors: Data Privacy, Accuracy, and Cost.

Privacy is Paramount

If you are handling sensitive internal data, a custom-hosted LLM (like Llama 3 or Mistral) on your own servers is often safer than sending data to public APIs.

The Specificity Gap

ChatGPT is a generalist. A custom LLM fine-tuned on your specific industry data will always outperform a general model in specialized tasks.
