🔗 Integration Points

1️⃣ WorkflowService Integration

Route workflow task LLM calls to optimal model
Track costs per workflow execution
Enforce budgets at task level

2️⃣ LLMController Integration

Query routing before making LLM request
Display estimated vs. actual cost
Record usage for analytics

3️⃣ ValorIDE Integration

Query routing before IDE task LLM requests
Show cost estimates to developer
Allow model selection override

4️⃣ Database Integration

Persist usage records
Store routing strategies
Track budget consumption

🚀 Quick Start

REST API Example

# Route a request
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/llm/route \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "taskDescription": "Generate Python code",
    "estimatedInputTokens": 200,
    "estimatedOutputTokens": 500
  }'

# Response
{
  "modelId": "gpt-4o-mini",
  "provider": "openai",
  "estimatedCost": 0.0219,
  "pricingSummary": "$0.15/$0.60 per 1M tokens"
}

Java Integration

@Autowired
private LLMRoutingService routingService;

// Route request
String modelId = routingService.routeRequest(
    principalId,
    "Generate TypeScript types",
    1500,  // input tokens
    2000   // output tokens
);

// Execute with selected model
ChatResponse response = llmService.execute(modelId, prompt);

// Record usage
routingService.recordUsage(
    principalId,
    modelId,
    response.getInputTokens(),
    response.getOutputTokens(),
    response.getLatencyMs()
);

📋 Current Build Status

⏳ Build Blocker (Pre-Existing Bug)

File: valkyrai/src/main/java/com/valkyrlabs/files/service/FileUploadService.java
Issue: Type mismatch on lines 91 & 111

[ERROR] The method setMetadata(String) in the type FileRecord
        is not applicable for the arguments (Map<String,Object>)
        FileUploadService.java:91
        record.setMetadata(fileMetadata);

Fix Required:

// BEFORE (Line 91 & 111):
record.setMetadata(fileMetadata);  // fileMetadata is Map

// AFTER:
record.setMetadata(objectMapper.writeValueAsString(fileMetadata));
