Decoupling Code and Data: Transforming LLM Integration from N×M to N+M Complexity

LLM integration becomes exponentially complex as the number of protocols and providers grows (N×M problem). By separating protocol logic from provider configuration—treating protocol as reusable code and provider as pluggable data—complexity drops to linear (N+M). This architectural approach enables critical features like circuit breakers, error normalization, and self-healing to work seamlessly across all providers, dramatically reducing development overhead in multi-LLM environments.
