AI Reliability

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has become the default pattern for grounding large language models (LLMs) in domain-specific knowledge. Yet shipping reliable RAG systems requires more than “add a vector database and call it a day.” Reliability emerges from design choices across chunking, retrieval, generation, evaluation, and observability, each with measurable trade-offs

TL DR ; Reliability is the foundation of agentic systems. Teams shipping AI agents must ensure their applications perform consistently, stay aligned with policies, and recover gracefully from failures. This article translates reliability principles into a practical, end-to-end approach across evaluation, simulation, observability, and iteration. What Reliability Means for AI Systems

TL;DR: Reliable AI systems demand lifecycle discipline, clear governance, robust data practices, reproducible agent development, continuous evaluation, and strong observability. Use multi-turn simulations, structured test conversations that replicate real user-agent exchanges, to surface failure modes before release, combine automated and human evaluators to quantify quality, and instrument production with

Large language models can generate fluent, convincing responses, even when they're factually wrong. For engineering teams deploying AI agents in production, robust hallucination detection and mitigation isn't optional. It's the foundation of trustworthy AI, product reliability, and user safety. This guide explains the mechanisms

Multi-agent systems promise significant performance improvements through parallel execution and specialized capabilities. Research from Anthropic on multi-agent systems demonstrates 90% performance gains for specific workloads. However, production deployments reveal fundamental reliability challenges that teams consistently underestimate during design and development. This analysis examines systematic failure patterns in production multi-agent systems,
