 The rise of this new profession is perhaps signaling the need for a solution that is not yet there — a solution that in its essence represents a Large Language Model (LLM) — [a powerful general problem solver](https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2023-06-23-agent/?fbclid=IwAR1p0W-Mg_4WtjOCeE8E6s7pJZlTDCDLmcXqHYVIrEVisz_D_S8LfN6Vv20) — available in the palm of your hand 24/7/365.
 
 To address this issue, [dlthub](https://dlthub.com/) and [prometh.ai](http://prometh.ai/) will collaborate on a productionizing a common use-case, progressing step by step. We will utilize the LLMs, frameworks, and services, refining the code until we attain a clearer understanding of what a modern LLM architecture stack might entail.
