TL;DR. The process of coordinating and managing multiple AI models, tools, and data flows to achieve a larger, more complex AI application or workflow.

Technical Definition

The process of coordinating and managing multiple AI models, tools, and data flows to achieve a larger, more complex AI application or workflow.

How it works

AI orchestration is crucial for building sophisticated AI systems, especially those involving agentic AI or multi-step processes. It ensures that different components, such as LLMs, vector databases, external APIs, and custom code, work together seamlessly and efficiently. Frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex provide tools for this, enabling developers to build robust and scalable AI applications.
