Typed Questions
Typed questions refer to a paradigm in LLM Orchestration where inputs are strictly categorized or structured to enable deterministic routing, validation, and processing. This approach contrasts with free-form prompting by leveraging schema-awareness to improve reliability and reduce hallucination in complex workflows.
Core Concepts
- Structured Input: Questions are not just text but carry metadata or type information, allowing downstream systems to interpret intent more accurately.
- Deterministic Routing: By typing questions, orchestrators can route queries to specialized models or handlers without relying solely on semantic similarity.
- Validation: Type information enables pre-processing validation, ensuring inputs meet expected formats before expensive model inference.
Integration: Jev as a System 1 Router
The concept of typed questions is operationalized in modern orchestration layers through probabilistic routers that act as “System 1” fast-thinking mechanisms.
- Jev is a “System 1 model” developed by typesafe-ai designed to act as an intelligent router for LLM Orchestration.
- Unlike generative models, Jev’s core function is to make rapid, probabilistic decisions about how to route queries rather than generating text.
- It serves as a high-speed filter or dispatcher, optimizing the path for subsequent “System 2” reasoning models.
