Translations:FACTS About Building Retrieval Augmented Generation-based Chatbots/45/en

Understanding the cost economics of generative AI-based chatbots involves several critical factors. The high costs of major and commercial LLMs can be unsustainable, with expenses adding up significantly across multiple use cases. Additionally, unseen expenses often accumulate as teams test various LLMs to meet specific needs. Moreover, when using commercial LLM vendor APIs, securing sensitive enterprise data requires guardrails to detect and prevent sensitive data leakage, as well as gateways for audit and legally permitted learning. There are also cost versus latency trade-offs to consider, as large LLMs with long context lengths typically have slower response times, impacting overall efficiency.
