Capabilities

LLM Benchmarking & Selection

With the proliferation of large language models — from proprietary tools like Open AI’s ChatGPT to open-source offerings like Meta’s LLaMA — selecting the right model for your use case is essential. Our Data & AI Research Team (DART) applies advanced methodologies to rapidly evaluate LLMs for speed and latency, accuracy and truthfulness, relative cost, scalability, compute, and more. 

LLM Monitoring

Given the constant evolution of generative AI tools, there is no “set it and forget it.” Monitoring for degradation and model drift is critical. WillowTree AI Engineering Services will track performance and governance compliance, identify errors or regression, and minimize AI hallucinations — all while optimizing and fine-tuning for model improvement.

Creating a safe and compliant conversational AI assistant.

Alongside federal government regulations, financial services firms deploying an AI assistant have to ensure conversations are accurate, nondiscriminatory, accessible, and policy-compliant. WillowTree worked with a longtime client to navigate these risks by creating a Dual-LLM Safety System that leverages retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and a secondary "Supervisor" function to keep the assistant safe, secure, and on task.
