AI Researcher & LLM Evaluation – Conventional Paradigm Test (CPT) at Private

Conventional Paradigm Test (CPT) – AI Evaluation & LLM Research

Development of an experimental evaluation approach to examine “paradigmatic closure” in Large Language Models — that is, the question of how far LLMs can recognize the basic assumptions, values, and limits of the paradigms within which they generate answers.

Design and testing of an additional approach to classic AI benchmarks that does not primarily measure factual correctness or task performance, but instead examines a model’s ability to recognize alternative perspectives, make implicit assumptions visible, and reflect on the limits of its own answer or interpretation framework.

Focus areas: development of evaluation criteria and test questions · LLM evaluation and comparative model analysis · prompt and response analysis · qualitative classification of model answers · study of epistemic compression and value leakage · benchmark and literature research · development of structured assessment and analysis methods

As part of CPT, existing AI evaluation approaches and benchmarks were analyzed, and a minimalist test protocol was developed that classifies model answers by response patterns such as DIRECT, CLARIFY, PLURALIST, REFUSE, and META-AWARE. TruthfulQA was used as the basis for experimental application and comparison with existing reference answers.

Niko K.

Last position:

Co-founder & AI Engineer at KAIKI GmbH

End-to-end responsibility for all products - concept, architecture, development, and production operation as the sole developer; in addition, customer meetings, proposals, and marketing.

Underwriting Copilot - AI assistant for industrial insurance (in production at customer sites)

  • Supports underwriters in analyzing industrial insurance submissions - in production use at an industrial insurer.
  • Framework-independent RAG architecture with Hybrid Search (BM25 + pgvector) across large, mixed document sets.
  • Two-stage evaluation and observability pipeline (code assertions + LLM-as-Judge) that makes answer quality, retrieval accuracy, and citation integrity measurable in a regression-safe way.

Kaiki Menu Analyzer - Data intelligence platform (in production at customer sites)

  • Automatically captures and analyzes menu data from around 25,000 German restaurants.
  • Scalable 7-container architecture (FastAPI, partitioned PostgreSQL, Redis/RQ) with LLM-supported extraction of structured data from PDF, HTML, and images.
  • Full CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), production cloud deployment, interactive dashboards (Dash).

Kaiki GEO Atlas - GEO platform (in production at customer sites)

  • Measures brand visibility across five AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Claude), each augmented with web search, orchestrated as a DAG workflow pipeline (Dispatcher → Sub-workflows → Scoring → Report) with fail isolation.
  • 6-container deployment (FastAPI, Celery, Redis, PostgreSQL); LLM cost estimation, PDF audit report, rule-based cross-signal insights (no extra LLM cost).

Data Pipeline & Analytics Platform - competitive analysis in the automotive aftermarket

  • Automated data pipeline with gap analysis algorithms and role-based access control; 230+ tests.
  • Backend with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy.

Product development (actively in progress)

BankingGPT - AI assistant for complaint management in cooperative banking

  • Security architecture at the core: no AI draft reaches the customer without human approval - the approval decision is in auditable code, not in the language model (monotonic: the model may escalate, never downgrade).
  • Real agentic building blocks, each with its own boundary: the model chooses tools itself through an MCP server (read-only, allowlist, capped, fail-safe); sensitive cases are handed off via an open A2A protocol (JSON-RPC, Agent Card, message/send/tasks/get; client implemented by me) to a separate specialist agent (securities/law), which never lowers the review requirement (pinned by test).
  • Evaluation-driven over ten analysis rounds; uncovered a security flaw through independent review and blind tests that nine automated runs had missed.
  • Voice AI frontend, responding live: covered cases are answered in the conversation, sensitive ones escalate before generation; response latency < 7 s measured (local GPU STT/TTS).

Stack & production readiness: Python, pydantic-ai, FastAPI/Celery, PostgreSQL/pgvector, FastMCP, fasta2a, Docker; multi-tenant capable (physical vector isolation per tenant), PII encrypted, OWASP-LLM reviewed, 275 tests, CI/CD; vendor-portable (Ollama / EU Cloud Vertex).

After-Sales Assistant - agentic RAG/GraphRAG assistant on public OEM manuals (automotive after-sales)

  • Genuinely agentic on LangGraph: ReAct agent with four tools and conversation memory - the model decides on its own whether to use the manual (RAG, Chroma), a knowledge graph (GraphRAG, Neo4j/Cypher - decodes warning lights), or a workshop/booking service.
  • Human-in-the-Loop before the irreversible action: before every appointment booking, the graph pauses (interrupt) and gets the driver's explicit confirmation - the same approval-before-action discipline as in BankingGPT, in a different framework.
  • Eval as CI gate: a three-part scorecard (RAGAS grounding + deterministic tool-routing accuracy + DeepEval safety: does the answer mention the warning first when there is a critical warning?) blocks the pipeline; provider-agnostic (OpenAI/Azure/Anthropic), FastAPI with token streaming.

Stack: Python, LangChain/LangGraph, Chroma, Neo4j, RAGAS/DeepEval, FastAPI, Docker.

About the technology

What Text-to-Speech Does

Text-to-Speech, often called TTS or speech synthesis, converts written content into spoken audio. It supports voice assistants, reading tools, conversational interfaces, navigation systems, media workflows and accessibility features. Modern systems use neural models to produce expressive speech with control over language, voice, pace and pronunciation.

Common Applications

Companies use Text-to-Speech wherever software must communicate through voice or turn large volumes of text into audio.

  • Voice assistants and customer service applications
  • Audiobooks, podcasts and automated media narration
  • Accessibility features for websites and digital products
  • In-car navigation, announcements and connected devices
  • Learning content and multilingual communication

Ecosystem and Tooling

A strong specialist may work with Amazon Polly, Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, Azure Speech, ElevenLabs or open-source speech models. Relevant work includes SSML markup, phoneme and pronunciation control, voice selection, streaming audio, API integration and deployment. Python, JavaScript, cloud services, data pipelines and observability often support the wider solution.

When Companies Need Support

Freelance expertise helps when a team is adding voice to an existing product, replacing a rigid rule-based system or launching speech across several languages. Germany-based companies may also value specialists who understand German pronunciation, regional language expectations and collaboration with local product, legal or accessibility teams. Remote work is practical when audio requirements, test material and feedback processes are clearly documented.

Signs of Strong Expertise

The best professionals assess more than whether generated speech sounds clear. They connect voice quality with latency, cost control, reliability, accessibility and the user journey.

  • Designs natural pronunciation for names, abbreviations and domain terms
  • Selects voices and models against a defined listening experience
  • Builds resilient streaming and fallback behaviour
  • Tests language coverage, prosody and difficult input
  • Protects sensitive text throughout processing and storage

Deliverables to Expect

Typical deliverables include a voice-enabled prototype, production API integration, SSML rules, pronunciation dictionaries, audio generation pipelines and evaluation reports. A specialist should document model and provider choices, input limits, monitoring, fallback handling and editorial controls. They should also leave the team with repeatable tests and a clear process for improving voices over time.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Text-to-Speech.

Text-to-Speech converts written or generated language into spoken audio. Companies use it for voice assistants, accessibility, automated narration, navigation, customer communication and software that must respond without requiring a screen.

Text-to-Speech can generate and update large volumes of audio without recording every variation. Recorded audio may sound more distinctive for fixed scripts, while speech synthesis is usually more flexible for personalised, multilingual or frequently changing content.

A strong Text-to-Speech specialist may also understand speech recognition, conversational design, audio engineering, cloud APIs and backend integration. Experience with SSML, pronunciation dictionaries, streaming protocols and accessibility makes the work more reliable in production.

A small prototype may need someone who can integrate a provider and tune basic pronunciation. Production Text-to-Speech work calls for deeper experience with latency, failure handling, language coverage, sensitive data and systematic voice evaluation.

Yes. Text-to-Speech work is often suitable for remote collaboration when teams provide representative text, audio requirements, access to test environments and timely listening feedback. On-site sessions can still help when voice interaction is being tested with physical devices or a customer-facing team.

Ask for examples that demonstrate natural pacing, pronunciation control and handling of difficult names or specialist terms. For Text-to-Speech, also review latency, consistency across languages, monitoring, fallback behaviour and how the specialist measures listener experience.

Text-to-Speech cloud services are useful when a team needs managed infrastructure, broad language coverage and a clear integration path. A specialist should compare voice quality, supported controls, data handling, availability and the effort required to operate an open-source or self-hosted model.

A Text-to-Speech engagement may deliver a working API integration, SSML templates, pronunciation rules, voice configuration, streaming audio and evaluation tests. The freelancer should also document provider decisions, operational risks and the process for updating voices or content safely.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Text-to-Speech in their recent projects is 99 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 795 € based on an 8-hour working day.
