Our expertise
Ramp Consulting guides clients through the complexities of building Generative AI solutions. We help teams address common challenges encountered when adopting Large Language Models (LLMs), such as navigating the intricate landscape of vector stores, RAG, prompt-chaining, orchestration, and AI prompt testing. Our expertise closes the knowledge gap and leverages leading practices.
Maximizing AI value
Unlocking the full value of Generative AI begins with tangible proof points. Successful teams showcase results of AI development early and often in the development cycle through prototypes, POCs, and incremental releases. Development agility and speed are essential to maximizing AI value — and operating nimbly in a competitive environment. Ramp Consulting helps teams deliver incremental wins faster.
Additionally, Ramp offers insights into implementing a structured "LLM Ops" framework to create a sustainable operational process that enhances existing DevOps practices. This approach ensures a reliable, repeatable, and seamless integration of AI into development lifecycle, maximizing efficiency and innovation.
Avoiding common AI pitfalls
Below are five reasons why AI projects can fail or take longer than expected to complete. Our goal is to help clients avoid these and other pitfalls - so that they can deliver rapidly and with confidence:
QA Testing: Traditional software engineering involves deterministic code which reliably returns the same result given the same inputs. However, LLMs are non-deterministic and produce variant outputs making Generative AI more challenging to QA test.
Learning curve: Solutions with LLMs use a different architectural approach compared to traditional software. Teams may experience a steep learning curve.
Cost: Using LLMs can be expensive. However, techniques exist to reduce LLM resource costs - for example prompt caching, chat-history compaction, and purpose-fitting model to task.
Scaling: Generative AI solutions require consideration for API key parallelism limits, data privacy, safety, and the hosting topography. Architecture decisions made early on matter later.
AI safety: Organizations often lack the skillset to adequately protect LLM solutions from manipulation, attack, or misuse such as jailbreaking and prompt-injection.
Common uses of LLMs
The following are the most common ways LLMs are used. Typically a Generative AI solution consists of several of these uses combined to deliver a cohesive feature-set:
Conversational AI
Chatbots, assistants, plugins
Extrapolation and interpretation
Fraud detection, summarization, classification, sentiment analysis, opinion mining, persona extraction, translation, transcription
Sematic Routing & Planning
Intent analysis, sematic routing, orchestration, prompt chaining, planners
Content generation
Text completion, chat completion, image generation, code generation
Semantic memory & search
Semantic search, hybrid search, web search, text-embedding, long term memory (vector stores)
Agents
Agents, micro-agents, autonomous agents, co-pilots, function calling & procedural memory
