Differences between transformer-based AI and the new generation of AI models
I frequently refer to OpenAI and the likes as LLM 1.0, by contrast to our xLLM architecture that I present as LLM 2.0. Over time, I received a lot of questions. Here I address the main differentiators. First, xLLM is a no-Blackbox, secure, auditable, double-distilled agentic LLM/RAG for trustworthy Enterprise AI, using 10,000 fewer (multi-)tokens, […]

Language Models: A 75-Year Journey That Didn’t Start With Transformers
Introduction Language models have existed for decades — long before today’s so-called “LLMs.” In the 1990s, IBM’s alignment models and smoothed n-gram systems trained on hundreds of millions of words set performance records. By the 2000s, the internet’s growth enabled “web as corpus” datasets, pushing statistical models to dominate natural language processing (NLP). Yet, many […]

How to design LLMs that don’t need prompt engineering
Standard LLMs rely on prompt engineering to fix problems (hallucinations, poor response, missing information) that come from issues in the backend architecture. If the backend (corpus processing) is properly built from the ground up, it is possible to offer a full, comprehensive answer to a meaningful prompt, without the need for multiple prompts, rewording your […]

The Rise of Specialized LLMs for Enterprise
In this article, I discuss the main problems of standard LLMs (OpenAI and the likes), and how the new generation of LLMs addresses these issues. The focus is on Enterprise LLMs. LLMs with Billions of Parameters Most of the LLMs still fall in that category. The first ones (ChatGPT) appeared around 2022, though Bert is […]

Stay Ahead of AI Risks – Free Live Session for Tech Leaders
Exclusive working session about trustworthy AI, for senior tech leaders. View PowerPoint presentation, here. AI isn’t slowing down, but poorly planned AI adoption will slow you down. Hallucinations, security risks, bloated compute costs, and “black box” outputs are already tripping up top teams, burning budgets, and eroding trust. That’s why this session blends three things you […]

Scaling, Optimization & Cost Reduction for LLM/RAG & Enterprise AI
Live session with Vincent Granville, Chief AI Architect and Co-founder at BondingAI. Scaling databases is a tricky balance. Teams need speed and reliability, but costs keep rising. From runaway infrastructure bills to overprovisioned clusters and slow queries, companies often spend more without seeing better performance. Join for a practical session on how to reduce database […]

Benchmarking xLLM and Specialized Language Models: New Approach & Results
Standard benchmarking techniques using LLM as a judge have strong limitations. First it creates a circular loop and reflects the flaws present in the AI judges. Then, the perceived quality depends on the end user: an enterprise LLM appeals to professionals and business people, while a generic one appeals to laymen. The two have almost […]

Doing Better with Less: LLM 2.0 for Enterprise
Standard LLMs are trained to predict the next tokens or missing tokens. It requires deep neural networks (DNN) with billions or even trillions of tokens, as highlighted by Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, in his keynote talk at the GTC conference earlier this year. Yet, 10 trillion tokens cover all possible string combinations; the vast […]

What is LLM 2.0?
LLM 2.0 refers to a new generation of large language models that mark a significant departure from the traditional deep neural network (DNN)-based architectures, such as those used in GPT, Llama, Claude, and similar models. The concept is primarily driven by the need for more efficient, accurate, and explainable AI systems, especially for enterprise and […]
