The EV+ of GenAI: Why AI Engineering Is Also Game Theory
A conceptual continuation of the EV+ series, explaining expected value, routing, retrieval, and model choice as engineering decisions under uncertainty.
Abstract: Production AI is not won by always playing the largest model. It is won by choosing the move with positive expected value: retrieve or not, route or not, ask a human or not, spend tokens or save them. Poker math, game mechanics, and ML engineering meet in one quiet discipline: measure before believing.
