Flint-Smart: Multi-Step Problem Solving Engine
Not just another API router. Flint-Smart decomposes complex problems, executes them in parallel, and synthesizes coherent answers — all behind a single endpoint.
Pipeline: 5 Stages to a Better Answer
Analyze
Fast rule-based complexity check — simple, medium, or complex
Decompose
LLM breaks the problem into MECE subtasks with rule-based fallback
Execute
Parallel execution across specialized models — code, reasoning, chat
Synthesize
Premium model weaves results into one coherent answer
Verify
Confidence scoring with automatic iteration when needed
One Endpoint. Smarter Answers.
