LLM pipelines often fail silently because their outputs can be plausible even when incorrect. This can lead to issues like empty results being treated as valid data or truncated outputs being accepted without error. To combat this, developers should implement checks that verify the intended effect of an operation, rather than just its basic validity. This includes asserting that required fields are present and not empty, and explicitly checking API response codes like `finish_reason` to ensure complete generation. AI
