Quick Start Integration Guide - Priority Libraries
Date: October 9, 2025
Purpose: Practical code examples for integrating priority libraries
Status: Planning - No Code Changes Yet
🎯 Overview
This guide provides copy-paste ready code for integrating the highest priority libraries identified in the architecture plan.
Priorities:
- 🔴 Week 1: Multi-LLM Support (Anthropic, Google)
- 🔴 Week 2: Prompt Compression (LLMLingua)
- 🟡 Week 3: Enhanced Caching (GPTCache)
- 🟡 Week 4: Query Routing (Semantic Router)
- 🟡 Weeks 5-6: Advanced Reranking (ColBERT)
