Large language models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini impress with speed and performance. But what really counts for businesses: Can the AI deliver accurate, reliable results under real-world conditions—even when tackling complex, domain-specific tasks? mgm developed the AI Evaluation Framework to answer that question. It provides an objective, structured, and practice-oriented approach to measuring AI quality. A real-world use case from the commercial insurance sector (Financial Lines) shows how it works.

What cloud projects already exist – and what needs to happen for Germany to become more digitally sovereign? Our white paper provides the answers.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly integrated into software development processes. AI-based code generation and automation are gaining momentum.
