Editorial Policy
How theLLMs is made
Every article on this site is produced with a combination of AI-assisted research and drafting, followed by editorial review. This page explains the process so readers can judge the content for themselves.
AI role disclosure
Every article carries two model labels in its metadata:
- AI draft model — the model that produced the initial draft from a brief and source evidence
- AI review model — the model that reviewed the draft for clarity, caveats, source alignment, and public cleanliness
These are real model identifiers, not invented personas. No article claims human authorship when an AI produced the prose. No article uses fictional bylines or fake credentials.
Research and sourcing
Articles draw on:
- Provider documentation, API references, and published pricing pages (checked against live sources on the date shown)
- Published research papers, benchmark results, and technical reports
- Regulatory guidance and standards documentation (NIST, EU AI Act, ICO, NCSC, etc.)
Sources are cited in the article body where they support specific claims. The Scope field on each article records when sources were last checked and what geographic or regulatory context applies.
Review and corrections
Every article is reviewed by an AI editor against a structured checklist covering factual accuracy, source alignment, clarity, public cleanliness, and glossary coverage. Articles are rechecked when sources change or when reader corrections arrive.
If you spot an error — a broken link, outdated pricing, a factual mistake, or a missing caveat — email the address on our Contact page. We log every correction request, prioritise factual errors that affect readers, and update the article with a visible date change.
No commercial influence
theLLMs does not run sponsored content, paid placements, or affiliate links. No provider, vendor, or platform pays for coverage or influences what we publish.
Limitations
This site provides general information, not professional advice. Articles about regulations, compliance, procurement, or safety are operational guidance — they are not legal opinions. If a decision carries legal, financial, or safety consequences, consult a qualified professional.
