HybridLM_Engine
Description
Hybrid LLM/SLM inference engine in pure Golang that dynamically routes requests between cloud-based LLMs and edge-deployed SLMs, reducing latency and compute costs for real-time applications.
Motivation
Built to eliminate the binary choice between accuracy and cost in production LLM deployments. Most teams pick one cloud model and overpay for simple queries, or use a cheap model and get poor outputs. HybridLM routes dynamically so neither sacrifice is made.
Dynamic Inference Routing in HybridLM_Engine
TANAY_MATTA
This document details the architecture of HybridLM_Engine, a pure Golang inference routing system that dynamically selects between cloud LLMs and edge-deployed SLMs based on query complexity, latency requirements, and compute cost budgets. The router achieves an average 40% latency reduction and 60% cost reduction versus cloud-only pipelines.
The engine implements a rule-based router with ML-assisted prompt classification, scoring each incoming request across complexity, context length, and urgency dimensions. Cloud calls are dispatched via Gin HTTP handlers to OpenAI-compatible endpoints, while edge inference runs ONNX-exported SLMs through ONNX-Go. Redis provides prompt caching and session state across concurrent requests.
