🎯 核心技術深挖
1. 多模型路由(Dynamic Routing)
路由架構:
class Dynamic_Routing {
constructor() {
this.routers = {
"cost_optimizer": new CostRouter(),
"performance_optimizer": new PerformanceRouter(),
"model_selector": new ModelSelector()
};
}
async route_request(input) {
const start = performance.now();
// 路由策略
const route = await this.select_route(input);
// 路由執行
const result = await this.execute_route(route, input);
const latency = performance.now() - start;
return {
result: result,
route: route,
latency: latency,
cost: this.calculate_cost(route)
};
}
async select_route(input) {
// 成本優化路由
if (this.routers.cost_optimizer.is_optimal(input)) {
return "cost_optimal";
}
// 性能優化路由
if (this.routers.performance_optimizer.is_optimal(input)) {
return "performance_optimal";
}
// 模型選擇路由
return this.routers.model_selector.select(input);
}
}
路由策略:
- 成本優化路由:選擇最低成本的模型
- 性能優化路由:選擇最低延遲的模型
- 模型選擇路由:根據任務類型選擇最佳模型
性能指標:
| 模型類型 | 延遲 | 成本 | 模型大小 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Llama-7B | 25ms | $0.02 | 7GB |
| Llama-13B | 30ms | $0.03 | 13GB |
| Llama-70B | 50ms | $0.05 | 70GB |
| Mistral-7B | 20ms | $0.02 | 7GB |
2. 推理協調(Inference Orchestration)
協調架構:
class Inference_Orchestration {
constructor() {
this.orchestrators = {
"multi_modal": new MultiModalOrchestrator(),
"sequential": new SequentialOrchestrator(),
"parallel": new ParallelOrchestrator()
};
}
async orchestrate(input) {
const start = performance.now();
// 任務分解
const tasks = this.decompose_tasks(input);
// 任務執行順序
const execution_order = this.determine_order(tasks);
// 任務執行
const results = await this.execute_tasks(execution_order, tasks);
// 任務協調
const final_result = await this.coordinate(results);
const latency = performance.now() - start;
return {
result: final_result,
latency: latency,
cost: this.calculate_cost(tasks)
};
}
decompose_tasks(input) {
// 任務分解
return [
{ "type": "nlp", "model": "Llama-7B" },
{ "type": "vision", "model": "CLIP" },
{ "type": "audio", "model": "Whisper" }
];
}
}
協調策略:
- 多模態協調:NLP + 視覺 + 音頻協調
- 順序執行:任務按順序執行
- 並行執行:任務並行執行
性能指標:
| 協調類型 | 延遲 | 成本 | 複雜度 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 多模態協調 | 15-30ms | $0.03 | 高 |
| 順序執行 | 20-50ms | $0.02 | 中 |
| 並行執行 | 10-20ms | $0.04 | 高 |

routing_cost = routing.cost_per_request * routing.requests_per_day
orchestration_cost = orchestration.cost_per_request * orchestration.requests_per_day
return {

"orchestration_latency": orchestration_latency,
"latency_difference": orchestration_latency - routing_latency,
"latency_improvement": (orchestration_latency / routing_latency - 1) * 100
}

routing_complexity = routing.complexity_level
orchestration_complexity = orchestration.complexity_level
return {
"routing_complexity": routing_complexity,

Routing Architecture:
class Dynamic_Routing {
constructor() {
this.routers = {
"cost_optimizer": new CostRouter(),
"performance_optimizer": new PerformanceRouter(),
"model_selector": new ModelSelector()
};
}
async route_request(input) {
const start = performance.now();
// 路由策略
const route = await this.select_route(input);
// 路由執行
const result = await this.execute_route(route, input);
const latency = performance.now() - start;
return {
result: result,
route: route,
latency: latency,
cost: this.calculate_cost(route)
};
}
async select_route(input) {
// 成本優化路由
if (this.routers.cost_optimizer.is_optimal(input)) {
return "cost_optimal";
}
// 性能優化路由
if (this.routers.performance_optimizer.is_optimal(input)) {
return "performance_optimal";
}
// 模型選擇路由
return this.routers.model_selector.select(input);
}
}
Routing Policy:
- Cost Optimized Routing: Choose the lowest cost model
- Performance Optimized Routing: Choose the model with the lowest latency
