KORA: Deterministic-First Execution Control for AI Workloads

KORA introduces a pre-inference control layer that prioritizes deterministic task paths over LLM calls to improve efficiency and verifiability.

KORA addresses the inefficiency of invoking LLMs for structured or lookup-oriented tasks. By routing requests through deterministic paths first and only escalating to model inference when necessary, it reduces latency and cost while improving reliability. The system includes validation and telemetry for each route.
