Building reliable AI applications requires more than automated testing. While AI evaluation metrics provide speed and scalability, human annotations remain essential for capturing quality signals that automated systems cannot fully measure. This blog explains how human annotations integrate into evaluation pipelines, why they matter for AI quality assurance, and how

Building reliable AI applications requires robust observability and disciplined evaluation. When your agents and RAG pipelines run on LangChain, Maxim AI provides an end-to-end stack to trace every call, assess quality with machine and human evaluators, and continuously improve performance across cost, latency, and accuracy. This guide shows how to

TL;DR This article explores six primary failure modes: hallucinations, prompt injection vulnerabilities, latency issues from both infrastructure constraints and inefficient agent trajectories, poor tool selection and orchestration, context window limitations causing memory degradation, and distribution shift. While some failures originate from the probabilistic nature of large language models, others

Multi-agent systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated, powering complex workflows across research, customer support, and automation tasks. However, as these systems grow in complexity, understanding their behavior, debugging issues, and optimizing performance becomes significantly more challenging. Without proper observability, teams often struggle to identify bottlenecks, trace errors, and measure improvements across

TL;DR AI agents in 2025 are production systems that orchestrate models, memory, tools, and workflows to complete tasks with minimal human intervention. Building reliable agents requires seven layers: the generative model, knowledge base and RAG, orchestration/state management, prompt engineering, tool calling and integrations, evaluation and observability, and enterprise

Multi-agent systems represent a fundamental shift in how AI applications handle complexity. When a single large language model cannot efficiently process multiple concurrent tasks, distributing work across specialized agents becomes necessary. However, this distribution introduces coordination overhead, failure dependencies, and monitoring challenges that require careful architectural planning. This guide examines
