Intent Detection and Prompt Matching:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Intent Matching
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Arch uses fast Natural Language Inference (NLI) and embedding approaches to first detect the intent of each
incoming prompt. This intent detection phase analyzes the prompt's content and matches it against predefined
prompt targets, ensuring that each prompt is forwarded to the most appropriate endpoint. Archs intent
detection framework considers both the name and description of each prompt target, and uses a composite matching
score between an NLI and cosine similarity to enchance accuracy in forwarding decisions.

Archs intent matching framework considers both the name and description of each prompt target, and uses a composite matching score between embedding similarity and intent classification scores to enchance accuracy in forwarding decisions.
- **Embeddings**: By embedding the prompt and comparing it to known target vectors, Arch effectively identifies
the closest match, ensuring that the prompt is handled by the correct downstream service.
- **Intent Recognition**: NLI techniques further refine the matching process by evaluating the semantic alignment between the prompt and potential targets.

Agentic Apps via Prompt Targets
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To support agentic apps, like scheduling travel plans or sharing comments on a document - via prompts, Arch uses
its function calling abilities to extract critical information from the incoming prompt (or a set of prompts)
needed by a downstream backend API or function call before calling it directly. For more details on how you can
build agentic applications using Arch, see our full guide :ref:`here <arch_agent_guide>`:

.. Note::
Arch :ref:`Arch-Function <function_calling>` is the dedicated agentic model engineered in Arch to extract information from
a (set of) prompts and executes necessary backend API calls. This allows for efficient handling of agentic tasks,
such as scheduling data retrieval, by dynamically interacting with backend services. Arch-Function is a flagship 1.3
billion parameter model that matches performance with frontier models like Claude Sonnet 3.5 ang GPT-4, while
being 100x cheaper ($0.05M/token hosted) and 10x faster (p50 latencies of 200ms).

Prompting LLMs
--------------
Arch is a single piece of software that is designed to manage both ingress and egress prompt traffic, drawing its
distributed proxy nature from the robust `Envoy <https://envoyproxy.io>`_. This makes it extremely efficient and capable
of handling upstream connections to LLMs. If your application is originating code to an API-based LLM, simply use
the OpenAI client and configure it with Arch. By sending traffic through Arch, you can propagate traces, manage and monitor
traffic, apply rate limits, and utilize a large set of traffic management capabilities in a centralized way.

.. Attention::
When you start Arch, it automatically creates a listener port for egress calls to upstream LLMs. This is based on the
``llm_providers`` configuration section in the ``arch_config.yml`` file. Arch binds itself to a local address such as
127.0.0.1:12000/v1.
``127.0.0.1:12000``.

In these examples, the OpenAI client is used to send traffic directly through the Arch egress proxy to the LLM of your choice, such as OpenAI.
The OpenAI client is configured to route traffic via Arch by setting the proxy to ``127.0.0.1:51001``, assuming Arch is running locally and bound to that address and port.
