— FOR IT
AI for the IT team, six architecture decisions.
For CTOs, IT directors and AI engineers. What to choose, what to avoid, where to invest, where to cut. Vendor-agnostic, on-prem-friendly.
— DEFINITION
For IT is the yesfor.ai track for technical teams. We focus on architecture decisions (vendor, RAG vs fine-tuning, on-prem vs cloud), cost management, observability and security. We support internal teams, we do not replace them.
— HEADS UP
Half your team already uses AI. With no company policy.
Research from 2025 shows that most employees in companies regularly use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) with no company awareness and no policy. This is known as “Shadow AI”.
- ·Pasting customer data into free chatbots (a GDPR breach)
- ·Copying fragments of contracts and terms in for a “rewrite”
- ·Sending source code in for analysis (IP leakage)
- ·Sharing employee data (salaries, performance reviews)
of employees bring their own AI tools to work (BYOAI)

01
Choosing an AI model with no commitment to a vendor
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, local models (Mistral, Llama, Gemma 3). For sensitive data we work with LLMs running inside the client's own infrastructure, so the data never leaves the company. Each model has its own strengths: cost, response time, quality, regulatory fit. The choice depends on the specific use case.
02
RAG vs fine-tuning architecture
RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) for most enterprise use cases. Fine-tuning is rarely worth it for LLMs. Vector DB, chunking strategy and reranking are 80% of the success.
03
On-prem vs cloud
Cloud (OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock) for most. On-prem (Llama, Mistral) for finance, healthcare and legal, where data cannot leave the client's infrastructure.
04
Cost management
LLM costs explode at scale. Caching, batching, model routing (a cheaper LLM for simple tasks, a more expensive one for complex tasks), monitoring per use case, hard budgets per team.
05
Observability and evaluation
Without observability an LLM drifts silently. Prompt logs, quality metrics, A/B model tests, regression tests. Without them the first incident ends the project politically.
06
Security and prompt injection
Prompt injection is the top OWASP risk for LLM apps (2025). Input sanitization, output filtering, sandboxing, rate limiting, audit logs. A traditional security stack does not cover LLMs.
„Most AI projects do not fail on the model, they fail on the integrations with master data.”
