What changes when it is government & public sector

We always benchmark against the prompted baseline. If the tuned model does not clearly win on quality or cost, shipping it would be an expensive way to feel sophisticated.

In government & public sector, procurement, data sovereignty and accessibility obligations shape the architecture before anything else. That single fact reshapes how custom model fine-tuning has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is multilingual service delivery, usually integrated against DigiLocker and Aadhaar-linked services. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.

Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector

Can AI systems be procured under GeM?

Yes, and we structure deliverables to fit standard procurement categories and evaluation criteria.

Does it work in regional languages?

It has to. Public services in India are multilingual by obligation, and we build for that rather than adding translation later.

Should we fine-tune?

Usually not first. Prompting and retrieval solve most problems more cheaply. Fine-tuning wins for consistent format, narrow domain style, and high-volume tasks where a smaller model can replace a larger one.

How much data do we need?

For LoRA on a narrow task, often a few thousand high-quality examples. Quality matters far more than volume. We review the dataset before training anything.

Can we own the model?

With open-weight base models, yes. You hold the weights and can run them on your own infrastructure indefinitely.

Custom Model Fine-tuning for government & public sector, worth a conversation?
