Man Group opts for educating employees on AI model dynamics and cost efficiency rather than implementing an automated query routing system. They provide transparent budget information and explain different classes of models, fostering creative ways for employees to reduce token spend and contribute efficiency ideas back to the platform.
“We could do that we've chosen not to. I think that the reason is that we want people to understand the dynamics of how best to use AI and which models to use. Okay, So what we've leaned on instead is education. So we have a very rich data set of how people are using AI, so you have great insight, and some of the things that we saw were just quite basic mistakes.”
“So we've been really focusing on education. We're very transparent about the budgets that people have and how they're being spent, and we talk to them about the different classes of models, and it's through that that we have seen better results and we've actually seen people finding quite creative ways to reduce token spend and contributing that back to the platform. As a result of it.”
