Common Failure Modes

Common Failure Modes

  • Eval set too small to expose regressions.
  • Baseline not versioned with code and prompt state.
  • Gate thresholds too loose or too strict.

Interview Q&A

Q: Interview Q: What metrics should gate an agent release?

Use a small set of critical metrics: correctness, safety failures, and latency budget adherence. Tie each to explicit thresholds.

Q: Interview Q: Why keep adversarial evals separate?

Adversarial cases often require stricter policy and are easier to track as a dedicated subset for security and robustness checks.
