LLM Applications: How to Leverage Generative Artificial Intelligence to Increase Revenue and Reduce Costs in Your Company.
LLM Applications are changing everything in industries such as banking, health, insurance, education, legal, tourism, construction, logistics, marketing, sales, customer service, and even public administration. It’s not science fiction; there are already LLM Applications doing things like the following:
• Improving surgeon efficiency.
• Public attention in banks.
• Tutoring for students.
• Legal recommendations.
• Stock market analysis.
• Conducting physiotherapy sessions.
• Finding new customers.
• Immigration procedures.
• Audits.
• Managing contracts with Public Administration.
• Construction project management.
• Event organization.
• Debt management.
• Answering (yes, answering) surveys.
• Generating news.
• Negotiating a sales contract.
• Valuing a company.
• Taking notes in meetings.
Challenges of LLM Applications in the enterprise.
While LLM Applications are capable of doing spectacular things, their use in the company presents challenges that are important to consider in advance:
• Token usage and costs.
• Context Window limits.
• Private data security.
• Misalignment: unwanted content.
• Security: injections, leaks, jailbreaking.
• Inference latency (speed vs cost).
• Multiple data sources.
• Open Source models.
• The problem of lack of reproducibility.
• Hallucinations.
• The problem of outdated data.
• A different evaluation.
• Prompts.
