Hey HN, we've just finished building a dynamic router for LLMs, which takes each prompt and sends it to the most appropriate model and provider. We'd love to know what you think! Here is a quick(ish) screen-recroding explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/ZpY6SIkBosE Best results when training a custom router on your own prompt data: https://youtu.be/9JYqNbIEac0 The router balances user preferences for quality, speed and cost. The end result is higher quality and faster LLM responses at lower cost. The quality for each candidate LLM is predicted ahead of time…

Nowadays, a common AI tech stack has hundreds of different prompts running across different LLMs. Three key problems: - Choices, picking from 100s of LLMs the best LLM for that 1 prompt is gonna be challenging, you're probably not picking the most optimized LLM for a prompt you wrote. - Scaling/Upgrading, similar to choices but you want to keep consistency of your output even when models depreciate or configurations change. - Prompt management is scary, if something works, you'll never want to touch it but you should be able to without fear of everything breaking. So we launched Prompt…

Hey HN, I've been building AutoAgents, an AI agent framework in Rust. Today I'm sharing a feature I haven't seen done well elsewhere: composable middleware layers for LLM inference pipelines. The problem Every agent framework lets you swap LLM providers. Almost none of them give you a structured way to enforce safety, caching, or data sanitization in the inference path itself. You end up with guardrails as application-level if-statements, caching bolted on as a separate service, and PII handling as a "we'll add it later" TODO that never ships. This gets worse with local models. Cloud APIs…

Narev▲7Hey! I want to get your feedback on our A/B testing platform for LLMs. Giving a 100 day Pro trial to anyone who signs up this week. The premise: in 10 minutes compare a bunch of model/parameter/prompt combos to find the best point on the quality-latency-cost tradeoff. Enter your data manually or sync from your tracing platform. ~300 models to select from. Here is a 1 minute Loom: https://www.loom.com/share/39b7cd24166c4e1fafd5e7fbd12a9d4d?...

Hi HN, I'm pleased to share Promptspot, an open-source (Apache License 2.0) project that helps automate testing of large language model (LLM) prompts against an array of input data. Modern LLMs offer an enormous amount of leverage if you "teach the bot to fish" — i.e. simply prompt it with both a "system prompt" (which typically doesn't change often) and a dynamic input, which is often application state, search results, recent activity, user profile data, etc. Existing playgrounds and prompt management systems often lack the rigor and flexibility required for this dynamic approach — and as…
