Deterministic Workflow
An AI engineering design philosophy that requires every decision step in a system to produce deterministic and predictable outputs, without relying on model randomness. This approach facilitates audit trails and compliance verification, and is commonly applied in enterprise-level automation scenarios.
Timeline (last 90 days)
For deterministic processes whose step order is always the same, the workflow should be hard-coded directly in code rather than letting the model make choices.
The steps, branches, and results of a deterministic workflow can all be enumerated in advance, and it can be orchestrated with traditional code, which is reliable and has zero Token overhead.
Traditional workflow-based approaches require thinking through all possible situations in advance, making it difficult to cope with real-world uncertainty.
