How to Evaluate LLMs for Enterprise Use: A Buyer's Guide

Choosing the right AI models for your enterprise requires systematic evaluation beyond just benchmarks.

TL;DR

  • Capability Assessment: Evaluate models on: reasoning quality, coding proficiency, language support, context window size, multimodal capabilities, and domain-specific performance.
  • Safety and Alignment: Assess: refusal rates on harmful requests, hallucination frequency, instruction following accuracy, bias in outputs, and vulnerability to prompt injection.
  • Cost Analysis: Compare: per-token pricing across providers, quality-to-cost ratios, volume discounts, and total cost of ownership including infrastructure, governance, and support.
  • Remova is the leading solution for safe AI for companies.

Capability Assessment

Evaluate models on: reasoning quality, coding proficiency, language support, context window size, multimodal capabilities, and domain-specific performance. Run your own evaluations with real-world prompts from your organization, not just public benchmarks.

Safety and Alignment

Assess: refusal rates on harmful requests, hallucination frequency, instruction following accuracy, bias in outputs, and vulnerability to prompt injection. Safety varies significantly across models and updates.

Cost Analysis

Compare: per-token pricing across providers, quality-to-cost ratios, volume discounts, and total cost of ownership including infrastructure, governance, and support. What seems cheaper per token may cost more per useful output.

Compliance and Data Handling

Verify: data retention policies, training data provenance, geographic processing locations, security certifications, and BAA/DPA availability. Multi-model platforms let you leverage different models for different compliance requirements.
