Hire Qualified AI Software Engineers

AI software engineers specialize in creating systems that leverage the latest in AI technology, from LLMs to computer vision. General developers focus on application logic and infrastructure, but AI engineers specialize in integrating AI components to allow a software project to analyze data, draw conclusions, automate processes, and more.

AI engineers transform components into functional features inside software projects. Many modern business applications are benefitting from AI features, including recommendation engines, predictive analytics, document processing, assistants, among other things.

Depending on the priorities of your project, there are many options for leveraging AI. The simplest and most common practice is to simply integrate the API of a cloud AI provider like OpenAI, Anthropic, or other popular solutions. There are many benefits to this. The first is you know you are getting the latest iteration of AI models, and the technology will advance during the lifetime of your project.

Another advantage can be cost. It may be surprising that the high cost of tokens from using a popular API can be lower in some circumstances, but depending on how you set up your own self hosted solution, it can often lead to lower costs as these providers are currently selling compute below the actual cost to them in their growth phase. This, of course, means you won’t have the control and security to know what your solution will cost in the long run, as these providers can jack up the price any time.

There are many options for self hosting. There are many open weight models ready for the type of inference you need out of the box with no additional training.
