OpenAI API users implement regression testing to catch silent model updates

A Reddit user shared a strategy for detecting silent regressions when using OpenAI's API, where model updates can subtly alter outputs without causing outright failures. The proposed solution involves implementing a regression testing pipeline that compares outputs against a frozen set of inputs and their judged-good outputs. This approach treats model updates like code changes, requiring them to pass a continuous integration-like evaluation before deployment to production. AI

    How do you catch silent regressions when OpenAI updates a model?

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>If you run anything on the OpenAI API in production, outages are the easy failures. You notice those. The one that gets us is the silent regression: a model gets updated underneath you, the same prompt starts returning slightly different output, …
