Instead of requiring developers to hard-code all technical choices upfront, Murakkab lets developers describe their intent in plain language and automatically selects the best models, tools, and hardware configurations. It dynamically adjusts configurations based on user priorities like cost or speed. In tests on video Q&A and code generation workloads, Murakkab used only ~35% of the computation, ~27% of the energy, and less than 25% of the cost compared to traditional approaches, with minimal performance loss. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
