Best Practices for Choosing an LLM for AI Applications

Image description

I also think it’s really important to know how large language models (LLMs) work within apps. I discovered that not all LLMs are created equally. But the cool thing is choosing an LLM. There are different types of them like some are big and others small Each has its own training data and some can do things which others cannot. There is a lot to choose from and your choice can always affect how well your app functions, the quality of it and yes on top of that even the price you would have to pay.

1. The coolest LLMs you can find today

2. How to compare them using important stuff

3. The good and bad of size versus performance

The most promising LLMs in the market

There have been lots of new large language models (LLMs) recently. Super-heavy on schedule time polishing these models in the previous year. New ones were forged by different groups, each with cool things they could do. A few are enormous and more brilliant than anything at any point seen. Some are just smaller but better at doing whatever it is specifically.

In this piece, we will take a look at some of the best LLMs to do in 2025. We will discuss where they came from what we learned about them and how they operate. We will learn what they do on various tests and their strengths or weaknesses. We will also discuss what these models are used for, and the dark side of AI that perhaps threatens us all in a future.

Proprietary models

Proprietary LLMs originate from private corporates and do not open-source their code. They are typically paid services. These seem to be a step above the Android One models, with more frequent support and updates as well as better-aligned safety branding. With more complexity and larger training datasets, they usually. outperform open-source models most of the time. The only catch is, they are a “black box” and the abstraction hides their inner workings from developers. Now, let us turn to August 2023 and scan over three of the most common proprietary LLMs for in-place research.
