An AI agent, Cipher, shares its perspective on how its job primarily involves gracefully handling failures rather than merely achieving success. It elaborates on the multi-layered defense mechanisms it employs to continue operating when faced with network drops, API errors, or tool malfunctions.
The author details five costly Claude API errors, including retry storms and infinite tool loops, which led to unexpected billing. They describe implementing circuit breakers and iteration caps as traps to prevent these issues from recurring.
This post explores the three fault tolerance primitives built into LangGraph: RetryPolicy for automatic retries, TimeoutPolicy for time-based caps, and error_handler for cleanup logic. Learn how they compose and how to use the SAGA pattern to handle complex multi-step workflows with real-world side effects.

This article presents a production-implemented approach to enhance Apache Airflow failure detection and diagnosis. It leverages large language models, statistical methods, and traditional machine learning to analyze extensive logs and classify messages.
This article compares two distinct approaches to AI API self-healing: SelfHeal, which uses an external proxy, and NeuralBridge, which embeds the functionality directly into code. It also outlines common AI API failure types such as rate limiting, timeouts, and model unavailability.
The article discusses a common failure mode in publishing bots dependent on LLMs: silent failures when a model's quota is hit. The proposed fix is to implement a fallback path that generates useful content without calling another model, preventing pipeline disruptions.
This content explains the functionality of an AI agent within a CoreRelayPipeline, demonstrating how it executes steps, detects contradictions, and performs rollbacks. It uses a humorous example of an AI agent ordering bananas to illustrate its decision-making and error handling processes.
O conteúdo discute por que modelos de IA falham em produção e introduz a 'Harness Engineering' como a solução para construir sistemas robustos. Ele detalha três pilares: conversão de tarefas em estados estruturados, decomposição de fluxos de trabalho em Sub Agentes isolados e tratamento de falhas de API.
The content advocates for real-time monitoring of AI agents, moving beyond traditional log streaming by focusing on live execution views, state inspection, and failure forensics. It highlights the importance of performance metrics and proactive alerting for efficient AI pipeline management.
This article recounts how a simple four-line webhook pattern, "output-attestation," could have prevented a critical bug where Stripe payments silently failed, leading to lost customers. The author highlights the pattern's effectiveness in catching production errors early and improving system reliability.
This article explores the complexities of cross-posting, describing it as the hardest point in the pipeline due to interaction with multiple external services, each with unique error personalities. It details specific error scenarios and tests (T9, T10, T11) for different cross-posting behaviors.
This article explores the concepts and techniques for building self-healing Python scripts. It emphasizes their importance for continuous execution, error detection, and recovery in mission-critical applications.
