Profile reviewed Sep 2026

ScienceSoft doesn't document specific LLM model families or fine-tuning capability — its AI work sits inside a much broader IT consulting practice, though its ISO 9001/27001/13485 certifications matter if the LLM handles regulated healthcare or financial data. Its 4.8/5 rating across 42 reviews is the second-deepest evidence base in this ranking.

6.8 /10
★★★☆☆
102 verified reviews
