Compound AI System

Compound AI systems integrate multiple large language models (LLMs) and other components to perform complex tasks exceeding the capabilities of individual LLMs. Current research focuses on optimizing these systems through architectures like "Networks of Networks," which leverage verification processes to improve accuracy, and developing frameworks like TextGrad for automated optimization via textual feedback. This approach is significant because it addresses limitations of single LLMs, improving performance on diverse tasks ranging from question answering to drug molecule design, and impacting fields like data management and AI safety.
