What powers Statista's AI tools?
Statista’s AI tools, including Research AI and Research AI Chat, use a blend of advanced Large Language Models (LLMs). Specifically, they leverage Claude 3 Sonnet (from Anthropic) for generating summaries and context, and Cohere’s LLMs for semantic search and query interpretation. The platform employs Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), ensuring all AI outputs are grounded only in Statista’s own curated database, never pulling answers from the open web. This architecture allows for nuanced, transparent, and reliable statistical insights while minimizing hallucinations.
