Depends on the task. For chat, reasoning, and tool use — Claude Sonnet/Opus tends to win on quality, GPT-4o wins on latency + multimodal. For voice realtime, OpenAI Realtime API. For privacy-sensitive (on-prem) workloads, Llama 3.3 or Mistral via Ollama. We benchmark options for your specific use case before recommending.
Depends on volume, model, and caching. Typical Canadian SMB chatbot: USD 50-400/month in API costs at 5K-20K conversations. We build cost dashboards in week 1 and route requests to cheaper models (Haiku, GPT-4o-mini) when full quality is not needed.
Yes. Options: 1) OpenAI / Anthropic Enterprise with zero data retention + Canadian region routing, 2) Azure OpenAI in Canadian region, 3) self-hosted open-source LLMs on AWS ca-central-1. We have shipped 4 healthcare chatbots in Ontario with PHIPA-compliant logging.
Three layers: 1) RAG with grounded context only (no answers without source citations), 2) eval framework with 50-200 test cases per release, 3) confidence scoring + handoff to human for low-confidence answers. We do not ship chatbots without an eval suite.
