LLM Wishlist 2025: Choosing the Right Model for Your Next Project
Michele Magri, syswhite.dev & Chris Mair, 1006.org
Before you head off for gingerbread and glühwein, join us for one last deep dive into the world of AI.
In our final Software Developers Thursday of the year, Michele Magri (SysWhite) and Chris Mair take us on a tour through the current LLM landscape – and show why simply picking the biggest name isn’t always the smartest choice.
With 23 top-ranking models from 9 different companies, the LLM market has never been more diverse. In this session, you’ll get an overview of the leading players (open and proprietary, US- and non-US-based) and learn how to pick the model that best fits your needs – based on performance, cost, vendor lock-in, fine-tuning options, and geopolitical considerations.
To top it off, Michele and Chris will run a live comparison between two models – one from a well-known market leader, and one promising alternative – as they tackle real-world text summarisation tasks.
Join us for a practical, opinionated, and slightly festive end-of-year session – and find out which LLM deserves a spot in your next project!
