Index
Migrating an assistant to another vendor requires comparing behavior, not just replacing an API key. Models can respond differently to the same data and instructions.
How to evaluate this decision
Inventory proprietary prompts, tools, formats, and dependencies. Preserve a representative evaluation set to compare the new solution. Separate enterprise data from indexes or representations that may need to be rebuilt. Check export and exclusion conditions in applicable contracts before planning to exit.
Criteria for comparing proposals
- Portability: Document data, configurations and artifacts that can be exported or reworked.
- Compatibility: Test structured responses, tool calls, and input limits.
- Transition: gradually release and observe regressions before withdrawing the previous option.
A scenario to discuss with the supplier
Hypothetical example: The new model produces good summaries, but changes the format used by an integration. The migration needs to validate this contract, not just the subjective reading of the text.
What to validate upon delivery
Run the evaluation suite on both vendors and compare errors accordingly. Check costs, latency and reviewability in the same task, keeping track of accepted differences.
Prepare the conversation about the project
Quantum9 can evaluate dependencies and implement the transition. Bring the flows, authorized data, and criteria used in the current operation so that the change is verifiable.
