LLM as Proxy Software Pattern

A LLM as Proxy Software Pattern is a software system design model that employs a large language model as an intelligent intermediary to control access, enhance functionality, and provide additional services for underlying systems or resources.

• AKA: LLM Proxy Pattern, LLM Intermediary Pattern, LLM Gateway Pattern.
• Context:
  • It can typically control LLM as Proxy Access Authorization through llm as proxy intelligent access control.
  • It can typically enhance LLM as Proxy Request Processing via llm as proxy request augmentation.
  • It can typically cache LLM as Proxy Response Data through llm as proxy intelligent caching strategies.
  • It can typically filter LLM as Proxy Content Screening with llm as proxy content validation mechanisms.
  • It can often provide LLM as Proxy Load Balancing for llm as proxy intelligent request distribution.
  • It can often implement LLM as Proxy Rate Limiting through llm as proxy adaptive throttling.
  • It can often support LLM as Proxy Monitoring via llm as proxy intelligent observability.
  • It can range from being a Transparent LLM as Proxy Software Pattern to being an Intercepting LLM as Proxy Software Pattern, depending on its llm as proxy visibility level.
  • It can range from being a Caching LLM as Proxy Software Pattern to being a Security LLM as Proxy Software Pattern, depending on its llm as proxy primary function.
  • It can range from being a Local LLM as Proxy Software Pattern to being a Distributed LLM as Proxy Software Pattern, depending on its llm as proxy deployment architecture.
  • It can range from being a Simple LLM as Proxy Software Pattern to being a Complex LLM as Proxy Software Pattern, depending on its llm as proxy functionality scope.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • LLM as Proxy Implementation Types, such as:
    • LLM as Proxy Security Gateway for llm as proxy intelligent threat detection.
    • LLM as Proxy Content Filter for llm as proxy contextual content screening.
    • LLM as Proxy Load Balancer for llm as proxy intelligent traffic distribution.
  • LLM as Proxy Application Domains, such as:
    • API LLM as Proxy Software Pattern for llm as proxy api access management.
    • Database LLM as Proxy Software Pattern for llm as proxy query optimization.
    • Web LLM as Proxy Software Pattern for llm as proxy web traffic management.
  • LLM as Proxy Service Types, such as:
    • LLM as Proxy Authentication Service through llm as proxy intelligent identity verification.
    • LLM as Proxy Caching Service via llm as proxy smart cache management.
    • LLM as Proxy Transformation Service through llm as proxy intelligent data transformation.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Traditional Proxy Server, which uses rule-based filtering rather than llm as proxy intelligent mediation.
  • Load Balancer, which applies algorithmic distribution rather than llm as proxy contextual routing.
  • Firewall, which uses predefined security rules rather than llm as proxy adaptive threat detection.
  • API Gateway, which provides static routing rather than llm as proxy intelligent request processing.
