Multi-Provider LLM Router, or How I Got Tired of Forgetting Which API Format I Had To Use

If you've ever built an application that integrates with multiple LLM providers (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, DeepSeek), you already know the pain: Each provider has its own distinct Python SDK. Streaming responses using Server-Sent Events (SSE) requires divergent parser logic. Thinking / Reasoning blocks are formatted completely differently. I recently extracted the core streaming router from my platform into an open-source FastAPI template. Here is how it works. Obje...

Efficient and accurate systems for querying unstructured data

Abstract: (shortened) In recent years, automatic analysis over this unstructured data has become possible via machine learning (ML). Analysts can use ML to extract structured information from these unstructured sources, such as object types and location from a video. The structured information can subsequently be used in downstream analysis, e.g., the urban planner can count the number of cars that passed by an intersection. Unfortunately, using ML for these analyses is challenging. Deployin...

It’s the year of smartphone price hikes

Paying more for a new phone seems almost unavoidable after Apple's event today. The new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max start at $1,199 and $1,299, respectively - a $100 price hike over their predecessors.

The black iPhone Pro returns

Apple has seen reason: It has a black model in the iPhone Pro lineup again. Last year, Apple went bold with its colors for the iPhone 17 Pro, offering a flashy orange, a shiny silver, and a dark blue. Don't get me wrong, they looked nice. But there was no black (or dark gray) for […]

Hi, I'm Divy. I Build AI Systems That Don't Hallucinate (Most of the Time).

👋 Hey, Dev.to! I'm Divy — a backend developer who fell down the AI rabbit hole and never quite climbed back out. A year ago, I was building APIs, writing database queries, and living a peaceful life. Then I discovered LLMs, and everything changed. I learned LangChain . Then LangGraph . Then CrewAI . Then AutoGen . I studied every type of memory. I built RAG pipelines. I wrote prompts that were longer than some of my actual code files. And after all that? The LLM still hallucinated. ...
