Integrating Intelligence
Adding an LLM to your stack requires careful architectural consideration. It's not just an API call; it's a new component with unique latency, cost, and reliability characteristics.
Common Patterns
- •RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation): Injecting relevant context from your private data into the prompt to ground the model's response.
- •ReAct (Reason + Act): Enabling the model to think through a problem and take actions iteratively.
- •Guardrails: Wrapping the model input and output with validation logic to ensure safety and compliance.
Security First
Enterprise integration means data privacy is paramount. We advocate for:
- •PII masking before data hits the model.
- •Private endpoints (Azure OpenAI, Bedrock) rather than public APIs.
- •Strict access controls on the tools the model can access.
