The readout

Evalon your data

Reference evaluation on your data. Readout and production scoping.

We size the hardware and source it at cost, with no markup. Ballpark: one H100 80GB ≈ $25–30k; a 4×H100 node ≈ $180–240k; smaller models run on far less.

Same SDK. Change the base URL.

The model is one parameter. Everything else in your application stays as it is.

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://llm.yourcompany.internal/v1",   # inside your network
    api_key="your-key",
)
vectors = client.embeddings.create(
    model="bge-m3",
