LLM reliability research

First-hand research into how LLM systems drift in production: what changes, how to detect it, and the monitoring, review and governance that keep output dependable.

Why we publish this

We build and run AI content systems, so we see how they behave once real people and real data are involved. These write-ups are what we learned doing that work, published because the answers changed how we build.

Current research

Production AI Reliability looks at what it takes to keep AI useful, consistent and under control after the demo: how systems drift, why outputs become inconsistent, how quality can be monitored and where human judgement still matters.

What drifts

Drift is used loosely to mean several different failures. Separating them is what makes the rest of this tractable.

How you know

A system can be online, responding successfully, and quietly getting worse. These cover what to watch and how to measure it.

What you do

Detection is only useful if something happens next. This is the part that decides who checks what, and against which standard.

Deciding whether to build at all

Judging whether a system is worth building is a different question from keeping one reliable. We cover that on our custom AI and systems page, alongside the readiness, data and due-diligence checks we run before a build is agreed.
