A common issue in batch processing with large language models involves "silent failures" where tasks appear successful at an orchestration level but have not actually been executed. This occurs when an LLM returns an empty response or zero output tokens, and the system proceeds without logging an error. Developers can identify these failures by comparing expected executions against actual model calls logged, tracing which specific items were processed, and examining token counts to find instances where input was provided but no output was generated. Explicitly handling empty responses in the code is crucial to prevent these silent failures. AI
