The ModelOps Stack
Incidents where AI models drift, degrade, or confidently hallucinate in production.
"The model didn't get dumber. The world just changed faster than the training data."
What this stack means
This stack explores the unique challenges of operating non-deterministic AI models in environments that demand predictability.
Why this stack exists
Because the practices for deploying static code do not map cleanly to deploying dynamic, evolving models.
▶ Common Failure Patterns
- •data drift
- •concept drift
- •feedback loop collapse
- •evaluation dataset overfitting
- •silent degradation
Prevention Checklist
- Monitor input data distributions for drift.
- Implement continuous evaluation against a golden dataset.
- Ensure a human-in-the-loop fallback mechanism exists.
Detection Signals
- A gradual decline in prediction accuracy or user satisfaction.
- The model confidently providing incorrect answers to new types of queries.
- Alerts triggering only after users complain on social media.
