LLM Integration Patterns for the Enterprise
Large Language Models unlock powerful capabilities, but shipping safe and reliable features requires well-known patterns and guardrails.
Core Patterns
- RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation): Ground outputs with your data to reduce hallucinations.
- Tools & Function Calling: Let models invoke deterministic services for accuracy.
- Orchestration: Break complex tasks into smaller, chained prompts.
Safety & Observability
- Content filters and policy checks on both input and output.
- Prompt/version tracking; latency and cost budgets per request.
- Eval suites with golden datasets and human-in-the-loop reviews.
Start small with a narrow use case, instrument thoroughly, and iterate with data-driven evaluations.
