What is parallelisation pattern?
Parallelisation pattern: A workflow design that runs several model calls at the same time, either on different subtasks or on the same task for voting, and then combines the results. It cuts waiting time and can raise confidence in the answer.
Parallelisation pattern: an example
A review tool checks a contract for legal, financial and compliance risks in three simultaneous calls, then merges the findings.
