Local AI auditors match hosted decision model performance

A comparison was conducted to evaluate the performance of a locally hosted auditor ensemble against a hosted decision model, specifically TypeSafe's Jev. The study utilized real pipeline output from client data, focusing on record linkage in industrial catalogs. The local auditor ensemble, comprising three fine-tuned LLMs (QLoRA fine-tuned Qwen2.5, SmolLM3, and phi4), demonstrated a better trade-off between review budget and accuracy compared to the hosted model when a specific domain rule was not applicable. AI

IMPACT Local LLM auditors can achieve comparable or better performance than hosted decision models for specific tasks like record linkage, offering a privacy-preserving alternative.
