Parallelization
Also called sectioning, voting.
Parallelization is a workflow pattern that runs several model calls simultaneously and aggregates their outputs, either by splitting a task into independent sections or by running the same task several times and voting.
Description
Sectioning reduces latency and keeps each call focused, while voting improves confidence, for example by running several independent safety checks.
