Routing, Parallelization, and Evaluator-Optimizer Loops

Learn the three workflow patterns Anthropic names alongside chaining: route inputs to specialized paths, parallelize independent work (sectioning and voting), and refine with an evaluator-optimizer loop.

What you will be able to do

✓Match routing, sectioning, voting, and evaluator-optimizer to the situations each fits
✓Decide when parallelization beats a sequential chain (subtasks must be independent)
✓Explain the generator/evaluator roles and why clear acceptance criteria matter
✓Recognize prompt chaining and its programmatic gates and latency tradeoff
