The End of the Monolith: Architecting Compound AI Systems

State-of-the-art AI is no longer a single monolithic model doing everything. The future belongs to Compound AI Systems: modular architectures combining specialized models, deterministic code, knowledge graphs, and verification engines into cohesive software.

Why Compound Systems Win

Higher accuracy, lower latency, dynamic model substitution, and strict cost control.
