STAGE 1 / 7— Anti-Pattern
Section 1: The LLM Anti-Pattern vs Right-Sized Model
The Naive Generative LLM Approach:
Calling an LLM API to classify the sentiment of 5 million incoming tweets or product reviews per day.
Why It Fails in Production:
Costs thousands of dollars daily and takes 1,000ms per tweet; VADER scores sentiment in 0.02ms with zero GPU footprint and explainable rules.
