We test technology with Chilean data and documents before we recommend it.
At ITLAB we test AI models that run on your own hardware, without sending data to external services. We evaluate them with a test battery we designed: receipts, invoices, RUT numbers, VAT amounts, dates, and Chilean Spanish text.
We want to answer a practical question: what can a local model solve today, on what hardware, and with what margin of error?
