ArXi:2604.19342v1 Announce Type: new Generative AI-powered by Large Language Models (LLMs)-is increasingly deployed in industry across healthcare decision, financial analytics, enterprise retrieval, and conversational automation, where reliability, efficiency, and cost control are critical. In such settings, models must satisfy strict constraints on energy, latency, and hardware utilization-not accuracy alone. Yet prevailing evaluation pipelines remain accuracy-centric, creating a Deployment-Evaluation Gap-the absence of operational and economic criteria in model assessment.
