Our experience integrating LLMs 

AWS Bedrock assessment-driven LLM migration

Challenge

International companies needed to transition away from OpenAI’s public toward secure, compliant infrastructure in AWS Bedrock. The aim was to test which models best fit LLM content generation needs and develop a migration strategy that would not affect operations while providing complete control over the infrastructure and data privacy.

Solution

Geniusee conducted a 3-week Gen AI assessment using the AWS RAPID Discovery framework. During Week 1, we held pain point and use case prioritization workshops as well as established model requirements (Claude, Titan, Llama).

Throughout Week 2, the emphasis was on practical tests. We compared AWS Bedrock foundation models with the actual client prompts based on the output quality, latency, and tone match. We were also assessed for compliance readiness, considering both effort and cost.

During Week 3, we provided a migration plan (with changes in architecture), AWS credit alignment, and a well-established business case. The whole assessment was 100 percent Amazon Web Services financed.

Impact

The client also secured a safe and scalable path forward for deploying LLM content generation on AWS Bedrock. After selecting the optimal model and securing AWS funding, they now have complete control over the infrastructure, enhanced compliance, and a clear implementation path.

The successful examples of implemented projects are related to our clients, including Hospitality Radar (Parasol Trading), Imagine, Supplied, Ness Healthcare, and TechQuarter. We have helped them use GenAI in AWS while meeting specific industry rules and performance standards.

FAQs about large language models

1. How can enterprises ensure that LLM outputs are GDPR or HIPAA-compliant?

To remain in compliance, businesses implement stringent data procedures for their use of LLM. This includes:

  1. Obfuscation of sensitive input before passing it to the third-party APIs.

  2. The practice of self-hosting, such as LLaMA 4, is to have complete data residency control.

  3. Capturing, recording, and tracking the interactions using AI governance platforms.

  4. Using differential privacy or zero data retention measures to the external APIs such as OpenAI.

2. How is fine-tuning different than prompt engineering when using LLMs in business?

  • Prompt engineering utilizes a generic model for specific tasks by cleverly phrasing the input. It is fast, no-code, and effective when it comes to an MVP or low-hanging fruit.

  • Fine-tuning instead refers to re-training the model on domain-specific data (such as financial reports or legal contracts). This requires greater effort but provides greater precision and specificity to meet enterprise demands, particularly in regulated industries.

3. Do LLMs have potential in business prediction like stocks or companies?

Although the task of LLMs is not to make predictions the way time-series models do, they are getting integrated more and more into:

  • Through the extraction of trends, this can be used in huge blocks of unstructured data (social media, news, reviews).

  • Chain-of-thought prompting to help thematically review the scenario and analyze potential business actions.

  • Signal amplification of weak signals hidden in textual data streams using LLMs; e.g., at-risk churn or potential market requirements.

Combined with predictive models or BI tools, LLMs allow adding a qualitative dimension to the classic forecasting pipelines.
