OPEN-MODEL PROJECTS

Choose for the task.
Deploy for the people using it.

A good model choice is one that works with your examples, your environment and your review process. The evaluation should make those trade-offs visible.

01

Define

One task, a sample set and an agreed standard for the result.

02

Compare

The same examples, recorded settings and clear observations for each candidate.

03

Prototype

An interface and runtime setup that the intended users can try.

04

Handover

Version information, test records and maintenance notes.

What we need to begin

A short description of the task, representative material you are entitled to use, the intended users and any constraints on the operating environment. The first discussion can use a non-sensitive outline.

What an evaluation should show

Not just successful answers. Include difficult inputs, missing information and cases that need human review. Compare the total effort around the answer as well as the response itself.

What is agreed for each project

The model version and licence, where processing takes place, who has access, which integrations are included, and how the completed work will be assessed.
