Another possibility that appears to be in wider use is neuro-symbolic AI.
An invention of my own is a Generative Programming Interface (GPI), analogous to an API, CLI, or GUI. The idea here is that LLMs or other forms of gen-AI can best be thought of as a crucial component of the program interface in this paradigm. I might have said “AII” (AI Interface), but that renders like the word “All.” AI Interface might work if spelled out, though.
The problem with “neuro-symbolic AI” is that Gary Marcus types use it to refer to something distinct from the current paradigm. Even though it is ironically a pretty good description of the current paradigm.
What about “neuro-scaffold AI?” Marcus is loading the “symbolic” part of “neuro-symbolic” with the connotation of “definitionally NOT the current paradigm.” The term “scaffold” gets used to refer to traditional programs that wrap and attempt to refine and be controlled by AI, and is encompassing enough to include reasoning or agentic capabilities without assuming them.
BAIR is calling them Compound AI Systems.

They seem to be drawing an important distinction against “pure / monolithic” models, but the name is long and too general.

Edit: Also found Hybrid Intelligent System → Hybrid AI or Hybrid LLM for short.
Edit 2: Intelligent Control → AI Control or LLM Control.

That’s very good!
