What actually changes when you move an AI project from prototype to real production? Practical lessons from projects we've deployed.
The Gap Between Demo and Production
Anyone who has built a large language model in a test environment knows the performance is impressive. The shock comes when moving to real production with real users.
Key Challenges We Faced
- Hallucination in Arabic Context: Models are improving but still make mistakes with Arabic technical terms. Solution: robust Guard Prompts system.
- Latency: Arabic users won't tolerate waiting more than 3 seconds. Streaming is the answer.
- Token Cost: Every request costs money. Good Prompt design reduces costs by 60%.
Our Recommended Architecture
First-layer cache for repeated responses, Streaming for long answers, and a local knowledge base (RAG) to reduce dependence on large models.
