What Separates a Production GenAI Developer From a Prototype
| Concern | What our developers do |
|---|---|
| Accuracy | Build an evaluation set from real queries and score every release |
| Hallucinations | Ground answers in retrieved data, require citations, and add "not found" fallbacks |
| Cost | Route easy tasks to smaller models; use caching, prompt trimming and batch processing |
| Latency | Streaming, smaller context windows, parallel retrieval |
| Security | Treat retrieved and user content as data, never as instructions; limit tool permissions |
| Privacy | Zero-retention API terms or private model endpoints; PII redaction |
| Governance | Logging, transparency notices and documentation to support obligations such as the EU AI Act |
