Production LLM Architecture and Deployment Approach

LLM architecture

Our LLM Development Process

Our large language model development process uses a milestone-based approach focused on minimizing technical risks, ensuring domain accuracy, and ensuring reliable performance of the developed models in operational settings.

  • Discovery and Use Case Definition

    We define the problem the LLM needs to solve, the users it will serve, the data it will use, and the success criteria before any architecture decisions are made.

    Timeline: Week 1–2

    Deliverables: Use case specification · Task taxonomy · KPI framework · Risk register · Data access map

  • Data Readiness and Corpus Preparation

    We review your available data in terms of quantity, quality, domain, labeling, and regulatory posture (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2). The quality of LLMs depends on data quality, and that’s where we come in with our data engineering capabilities.

    Timeline: Week 2–3

    Deliverables: Data readiness report · Gap analysis · Compliance checklist · Corpus preparation plan · Data sourcing strateg

  • Model Strategy and Architecture Design

    Evaluating candidate architectures based on a ground-up approach, a fine-tuned approach, RAG, or a mixed approach, and offering formal recommendations on whether to build, buy, or fine-tune are among our responsibilities. Architectural choices are made using scientific reasoning, not vendor preferences.

    Timeline: Week 3–4

    Deliverables: Model strategy document · Architecture blueprint · Technology selection rationale · Compute cost estimate · POC scope

  • Training, Fine-Tuning, and Alignment

    Whether it is supervised fine-tuning, instruction tuning, RLHF, DPO, or adaptation using LoRA/QLoRA on your custom training data, alignment will ensure that what you want to achieve matches your style, tone, and legal constraints.

    Timeline: Week 4–10 (varies by scope)

    Deliverables: Trained model artifact · Training logs · Evaluation checkpoints · Alignment audit

  • Evaluation, Red-Teaming and Approval

    Evaluation is done through specialized testing procedures, attack cases, and user preferences. The measurements that are used include latency, throughput, inference efficiency, and various safety factors. Deployment can only occur once a certain performance threshold has been met.

    Timeline: Week 8–11

    Deliverables: Evaluation report · Benchmark comparison · Red-team findings · Performance profile · Go/No-Go recommendation

  • Deployment and Inference Optimization

    Pipeline setup for CI/CD, configuring inference server (vLLM, Triton, TGI), scaling, quantization of the models to save money, security-related aspects, and rolling out of the product to production.

    Timeline: Week 10–14

    Deliverables: Deployed model endpoint · Inference server config · Monitoring dashboard · Runbook · Security sign-off · SLA agreement

  • LLMOps and Continuous Improvement

    Post-deployment: model drift detection, automated re-training, A/B testing using different models, and regression testing on the criteria for evaluation. Customized language models require proper deployment to train, evaluate, and roll back; our LLMOps consultation can help you with that.

    Timeline: Ongoing

    Deliverables: Monthly performance reports · Retraining logs · Drift alerts · A/B test results · Roadmap reviews

Industries We Build Custom LLMs For

CMARIX creates custom large language models tailored to the data ecosystems, regulations, and processes of each industry, rather than adapting an enterprise model.

Healthcare and Digital Health

Clinicians lose hours to documentation that LLMs can now handle in minutes. CMARIX builds custom large language models for automated clinical documentation, medical coding assistance, patient summary generation, and decision support tools that reference verified medical knowledge rather than generic training data. Every model we deploy in healthcare is engineered against HIPAA, HL7/FHIR, and FDA AI/ML guidance, because accuracy and traceability aren't optional when a model's output touches patient care. The result: less charting, more time with patients.

LLM Development Cost, Timeline, and Engagement Models

LLM development services are tailored to your stage in the AI adoption process, from validating a single use case to scaling up an enterprise-ready language model solution. The scope for each model is set to produce tangible results within a specified time frame and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About LLM Development

Answers to the questions product leaders, engineering teams, and AI strategy stakeholders ask most before beginning a large language model development engagement with CMARIX.

  • How Much Does LLM Development Cost?

    Typically, the engagement costs for an LLM PoC with CMARIX fall within the bracket of USD 12,000-USD 20,000 over 4-8 weeks. The cost for full-fledged LLM development engagements varies between USD 40,000- USD 100,000 in 2-5 months. Enterprise LLM platform engagements typically start at USD 120,000. Every engagement follows milestone-based pricing with fixed budgets and clearly defined deliverables at each stage.

  • How Long Does It Take to Develop and Deploy an LLM?

    Typically, an LLM PoC Sprint will be available in 4 to 8 weeks. The process for fine-tuning or RAG will take 2 to 5 months. Custom LLMs that involve enterprise-level platforms for training and orchestration will take at least 5 months.

  • Should We Use RAG, Fine-Tuning, or Custom Model Training?

    The RAG approach uses document retrieval to generate text, reducing hallucinations and maintaining accuracy without retraining. The process of fine-tuning is better suited to developing the tone, format, style, and reasoning skills of a language model. Custom training of language models from scratch can be applied when enterprises have proprietary datasets.

  • What is LLM Model Drift?

    Drift is a scenario in which an LLM in production experiences a drop in performance due to changes in input patterns compared to those used during training. CMARIX addresses drift through its evaluation pipeline, automated drift notifications, scheduled model retraining triggers, and post-launch A/B testing.

  • Can an LLM Be Deployed On-Premises or in a Private Cloud?

    Yes. We specialize in deploying self-hosted LLMs for businesses operating in highly regulated environments or seeking to cost-optimize their inference expenses. This includes handling model quantization, configuring the inference server using vLLM, NVIDIA Triton, or TGI, scaling, monitoring configuration, and providing comprehensive documentation for the deployment on AWS, GCP, Azure, or on-premises GPUs.

  • How Is Proprietary Enterprise Data Protected?

    CMARIX protects proprietary enterprise data through secure deployment architectures, encryption, access controls, private model hosting, audit logging, PII masking, and compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2. When fine-tuning is required, your data remains within your controlled environment and is never used to train public foundation models.

  • Who Owns the Model Weights, Training Data, and Source Code?

    The client holds the rights to all products, such as model weights, training datasets, pipeline tuning processes, evaluation systems, and documentation. The company operates on an IP transfer basis, without any licensing restrictions, proprietary constraints, or IP retention.

  • What Support Is Required After an LLM Is Deployed?

    CMARIX supports deployment with SLA-backed post-deployment services, including model performance tracking, drift detection and alerts, model re-training pipeline management, security upgrades, scaling of inference engines, and periodic performance reports. Post-deployment support is delivered as an LLMOps engagement backed by SLAs and engineering bandwidth.
