AI Model Selection: A Guide to Navigating Sully's Sandbox

Selecting the right AI model for your specific use case is crucial for success in enterprise AI implementation. Sully’s Sandbox marketplace simplifies this process, but understanding how to evaluate and choose models remains essential for optimal results.

Understanding Model Selection Criteria

The success of any AI implementation heavily depends on choosing the right model for your specific needs. This process involves understanding several key factors:

1. Business Requirements Analysis

   • Specific use case definition
   • Performance expectations
   • Resource constraints
   • Integration requirements

2. Technical Considerations

   • Model architecture compatibility
   • Inference speed requirements
   • Training data availability
   • Scalability needs

Evaluation Framework

Performance Metrics

When evaluating models in Sully’s Sandbox, consider these key metrics:

evaluation_metrics = {
    "accuracy": "Model prediction accuracy",
    "latency": "Response time per inference",
    "throughput": "Requests handled per second",
    "resource_usage": "CPU/GPU/Memory requirements",
    "scalability": "Performance under load"
}

Cost Analysis

Understand the total cost of ownership:

• Implementation costs
• Training resources
• Inference costs
• Maintenance requirements

Implementation Strategy
