RAG Cascade Architecture Cuts Inference Costs 6x

Enterprise operations dashboard illustrating a RAG cascade architecture that controls RAG inference costs in regulated environments

Most RAG systems route everything through the LLM and call it done. In regulated environments, that approach breaks under audit, scales poorly, and quietly accumulates risk. A three-stage cascade architecture changes the question from 'how do I prompt this well?' to 'what should never reach the model at all?' Read more

The demo impressed the steering committee, the proof-of-concept delivered a promising accuracy metric, and the project quietly moved to a backlog where it has remained ever since. The phenomenon is common … Read more

As agentic AI infrastructure moves from proof-of-concept into live production environments, that question is giving way to something considerably harder — how to govern the cost, data exposure, and infrastructure underlying autonomous AI … Read more
