Beyond LLM Calls: Building Smarter AI Decision Workflows with Python

Large language models have made it easier than ever to build AI-powered applications. But as these applications grow, developers face an important engineering challenge: Does every decision really need a generative LLM?

  • Decoupling decision-making from generation reduces LLM latency and cost
  • Classification, scoring, and routing can use specialized models or traditional code
  • Python example shows workflow selection based on complexity and confidence thresholds
