list is only supported from Python 3.10 onwards, and we'd like to support 3.9 onwards.

We don't have OpenAI Function Calling Dynamic Routes as an alternative to regular dynamic routes any more, it is now the default.

Simplified __call__ in route.py as we don't have 2 separate methods of treating dynamic routes anymore.

Saving Layer Configs as JSON or YAML config files by representing the LayerConfig object as a dict and then turning into JSON/YAML wasn't working.

See issue here: https://github.com/aurelio-labs/semantic-router/issues/144

The issue was that, by attempting this, we were attempting to serialize all objects included in the Layer, including Routes, and the LLMs that those Routes use.

In the case of the above issue, the LLM was a Cohere one, which included a Client as one of its attributes, and this Client is not serializable.

So, instead of attempting to represent the entire LLM object a dict, to then be converted into JSON/YAML, we only keep key information about the LLM:

'module': self.llm.__module__,
'class': self.llm.__class__.__name__,
'model': self.llm.name

This is what's saved in route.py, and then sent to layer.py to be serialized (in LayerConfig.to_file()).

Then, when it comes time to load from the file via LayerConfig.from_file, the LLM is re-initialized dynamically.
