Research Report 6.2: Hybrid Architectures
Your LLM can write poetry but can't reliably add two numbers - hybrid architectures solve this by routing each subtask to the system that actually handles it well
Research into the architectural patterns for integrating LLMs with traditional algorithms and deterministic systems - covering serial, parallel, hierarchical, and event-driven integration patterns alongside handoff mechanisms, routing logic, caching strategies, and the performance tradeoffs of hybrid intelligent systems.

Real benchmarks from a three-stage data ingestion pipeline - comparing Llama 3.1 70B, Qwen 2.5 14B, and Llama 3.1 8B on relationship extraction, category assignment, and portfolio curation, with the performance metrics that actually matter for production selection
The CLAUDE.md that powers a production hybrid routing system - complexity-based scoring from 1-10, automatic model selection across four tiers (local Qwen through cloud Opus), contextual RAG embeddings that improve retrieval by 5-10%, and the architecture that achieves 95-99% cost savings versus all-cloud
A production-grade routing system that cuts LLM costs by 95-99% - complexity scoring routes simple queries to free local Ollama models while sending complex reasoning to Claude, with RAG semantic search, real-time monitoring, and 10 MCP tools for Claude Desktop integration
