Swappable LLM Architectures: Building Flexible AI Systems

Overview In today’s fast-evolving AI landscape, new models emerge daily, pricing structures change, and performance improvements happen constantly. Building applications tightly coupled to a single LLM provider creates technical debt and limits your ability to adapt. This guide explores an architecture pattern that allows you to easily switch between different LLM providers like OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude), and Google (Gemini) without rewriting your entire codebase. You’ll learn how to design flexible systems that are testable, maintainable, and future-proof....
