agentsop-selfhost-decision
From the author
Project-kickoff rubric for the self-host vs managed-cloud decision — when is running your own inference engine / LLM platform worth the ops cost vs paying per-token for a managed API? Decide on two axes — VOLUME (a cost-crossover slider) and COMPLIANCE (a hard gate). Use at kickoff when choosing where to run inference, or when cost / data-residency pressure forces a re-evaluation.

- agentsop-llm-engine-selectionagentsope/SkillAlchemyCross-engine decision rubric for self-hosting or recommending an LLM serving stack. Picks among vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, TGI, llama.cpp, Ollama, and MLX as a function of (hardware × workload × constraint), not "which is fastest". Activates whenever a coder-agent must choose, defend, or migrate a serving runtime.Other★ 445
- agentsop-vllmagentsope/SkillAlchemyDecision SOP for serving LLMs with vLLM. Covers PagedAttention mental model, quantization/parallelism/batching tradeoffs, OOM triage, and when NOT to use vLLM. Activates when a coder-agent is choosing or tuning an inference engine, debugging vLLM throughput/latency/OOM, or comparing vLLM against TGI/SGLang/TensorRT-LLM/llama.cpp.Engineering★ 445
- multi-cloud-architecturewshobson/agentsDesign multi-cloud architectures using a decision framework to select and integrate services across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. Use when building multi-cloud systems, avoiding vendor lock-in, or leveraging best-of-breed services from multiple providers.Planning★ 41.6K
- agentsop-cost-tiered-modelsagentsope/SkillAlchemySplit a multi-call LM workflow by cognitive load, not by accuracy: let one strong model make the few reasoning decisions and a cheap model do the many mechanical executions (Aider architect+editor, DSPy optimizer-LM vs task-LM, vLLM speculative draft+target, LangGraph supervisor+worker are the same shape). Use when designing or cost-optimizing a pipeline that calls an LM many times, when deciding which steps need a strong reasoner vs a cheap executor, or when adding an escalation valve for when the cheap tier degrades. Search keywords: reduce LLM cost, cheaper model, lower token cost, model cascade, route to cheap model, strong model plus cheap model, LLM cost optimization.Writing★ 445
- agentsop-code-execution-decisionagentsope/SkillAlchemyDecision rubric for when an LM agent should write-and-run code (Program-of-Thought / code interpreter) versus reason in natural language: classify each step as deterministic- computable (emit + execute code, feed the result back) vs judgment (stay in prose). Use when designing or debugging an agent step that does arithmetic/parsing/data transforms, when prose reasoning hallucinates a computation (under-coding), or when a sandbox round- trip is wasted on a judgment task (over-coding). Search keywords: code interpreter, agent does math wrong, calculator hallucination, when to run code vs reason, program of thought, PoT, tool vs reasoning.Engineering★ 445
