What We Offer

Custom LLM Development, End to End

From training data curation to production serving — every step of building an LLM that's truly yours.

01
📊

Training Data Curation

We build high-quality training datasets from your proprietary content — documents, conversations, code, support tickets — with deduplication, cleaning, and quality scoring.

02
🧬

Fine-Tuning & PEFT

LoRA, QLoRA, and full fine-tuning on base models like Llama, Mistral, and Gemma — optimized for your domain with minimal compute using parameter-efficient techniques.

03
🔧

RLHF & Alignment

Reinforcement learning from human feedback to align model outputs with your brand voice, accuracy standards, and safety requirements.

04
📏

Evaluation & Benchmarking

Custom evaluation suites measuring domain accuracy, hallucination rates, instruction following, and task-specific metrics — tested against GPT-4 and Claude baselines.

05
⚡

Model Optimization & Quantization

Quantization (GPTQ, AWQ), distillation, and speculative decoding to reduce inference costs by 60–80% while maintaining quality.

06
🚀

Production Serving Infrastructure

vLLM, TGI, or TensorRT-LLM serving with auto-scaling, load balancing, and monitoring — deployed on your cloud or air-gapped infrastructure.

Tired of API Costs and One-Size-Fits-All Models?

Let's build an LLM that knows your domain and runs on your terms. Free evaluation call.

🎯 Domain-Specific Intelligence

A model that thinks like your best domain expert.

Generic LLMs are impressive but imprecise. Custom fine-tuned models deliver higher accuracy on your tasks at a fraction of the inference cost — with full control over data privacy.

About This Service

Custom LLMs for Regulated Industries

In fintech and healthcare, sending data to third-party APIs creates compliance risks. Custom LLMs keep your data in your environment while outperforming generic models on your tasks.

✓
Full Data Sovereignty
Your training data never leaves your infrastructure. Models are trained and served within your VPC or on-premises environment.
✓
Domain-Tuned Accuracy
Fine-tuned models outperform GPT-4 on domain-specific tasks because they've learned from your actual data and terminology.
✓
Predictable, Lower Costs
Self-hosted models eliminate per-token API charges. A fine-tuned 7B model often matches GPT-4 quality on specific tasks at 1/20th the cost.
Why OpenMalo

How We Work

Our Engagement Process

🔍
1

Use Case & Data Assessment

Evaluate your tasks, data quality, and volume to determine if fine-tuning is the right approach and which base model fits best.

📊
2

Data Preparation

Curate, clean, and format training datasets with quality scoring and deduplication — the most important step for model quality.

🧬
3

Fine-Tuning & Alignment

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning with iterative evaluation, followed by RLHF alignment to match your quality standards and safety requirements.

⚡
4

Optimization & Benchmarking

Quantization, distillation, and serving optimization — benchmarked against commercial APIs on your actual evaluation suite.

🚀
5

Deploy & Monitor

Production serving infrastructure with auto-scaling, monitoring dashboards, and continuous improvement pipelines.

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

“We were spending $28K/month on GPT-4 API calls for document analysis. OpenMalo fine-tuned a Llama 3 model that performs better on our specific documents and costs $4K/month to self-host. The ROI was immediate.

AS
Ankit Sharma
VP Product, LedgerAI

“OpenMalo was honest about what fine-tuning could and couldn't do for our use case. They recommended RAG for one task and fine-tuning for another. That kind of honesty is rare in this space.

CW
Catherine Wu
CTO, PolicyWise

“Our custom LLM handles financial report summarization with 94% accuracy compared to 76% from the generic API. The compliance team can actually trust the output now, which changed how we operate.

The Challenge

Generic APIs too expensive and inaccurate for financial docs

LedgerAI was processing 50,000+ financial documents monthly using GPT-4 API calls — high costs, inconsistent accuracy on financial terminology, and data privacy concerns from sending client documents to external APIs.

$28K/month in API costs scaling linearly with volume
76% accuracy on financial-specific extraction tasks
Client data being sent to third-party API servers
No ability to customize model behavior for edge cases

Our Approach: Curated 15,000 high-quality financial document examples, LoRA fine-tuned Llama 3 8B, quantized to 4-bit with AWQ, deployed on 2x A100 GPUs in client VPC — accuracy exceeded GPT-4 on all domain benchmarks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Prompt engineering works for general tasks. RAG is best when you need the model to reference specific documents. Fine-tuning is ideal when you need the model to learn domain-specific patterns, terminology, or output formats that prompting can't reliably achieve. We help you decide during our feasibility assessment.
