## What the story says

EliseAI fine-tunes small open-source models on Baseten Training and serves them on Baseten's inference platform to extract structured data from housing and healthcare conversations, including a live voice agent for leasing. Baseten's research team also helped with post-training techniques.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Baseten and EliseAI, not ours.

> When their closed-source APIs hit a ceiling on cost, speed, and controllability, EliseAI set out to build their own custom models. They partnered with the Baseten research team to get there.

- **250ms**: “250ms p90 latency, down from 2.2 seconds on closed-source APIs”
- **99%**: “99% accuracy on one of the most important features in the leasing platform”
- **25x**: “Frontier-matching accuracy on a 4B parameter model, matching or exceeding models 25x its size on production benchmarks”

> You can't treat fine-tuning as a one-and-done check item. This space moves so fast that you have to continuously keep up.
