STAGE 1 / 7— Anti-Pattern
Section 1: The LLM Anti-Pattern vs Right-Sized Model
The Naive Generative LLM Approach:
Calling an LLM with a 1,000-token prompt to output a binary "YES" or "NO" label for click-through rate (CTR) prediction on 10 million ad impressions per day.
Why It Fails in Production:
Costs $20,000/day in API charges, adds 500ms latency to real-time ad bidding (which has a 10ms hard timeout), and provides uncalibrated confidence numbers.
Targeted Algorithm (Logistic Regression)
Latency:0.005ms
Cost / 1M Ops:$0.00
Determinism:100% Calibrated Probability
Generative LLM Alternative
Latency:800ms
Cost / 1M Ops:$2,000
Determinism:Uncalibrated Natural Language
