Single-model agent pipelines are fragile. When your LLM provider encounters latency spikes or schema drift, your entire business workflow stalls.

Here is how to design an enterprise-grade agent with automated failover in Python.

Most LangChain or basic Python agent implementations look like this:

If the LLM returns invalid JSON or hits an API quota, the script crashes.

Instead of a single LLM client, instantiate a dual-engine router:

``` python
class ResilientAgent:
    def __init__(self, primary_model, fallback_model):
        self.primary = primary_model
        self.fallback = fallback_model

    def execute_step(self, prompt, schema):
        try:
            return self.primary.generate(prompt, schema=schema)
        except (RateLimitError, ValidationError, APIConnectionError) as e:
            logger.warning(f"Primary model failover triggered: {e}")
            return self.fallback.generate(prompt, schema=schema)
```
