7 production patterns for training AI agents detailed

Training an AI agent for production involves a cyclical process focused on infrastructure and data. Key steps include instrumenting every agent run to capture detailed traces, using these traces to build evaluation datasets from real-world traffic, and labeling these traces to identify failures. The process emphasizes that prompt engineering has limitations, and fine-tuning with techniques like LoRA is crucial, followed by freezing evaluation sets before training and repeating the cycle. The majority of the effort is dedicated to the underlying infrastructure rather than the agent's core logic. AI

    How to train your agent: 7 patterns from production teams

    <p>Training an agent in production runs on seven patterns. Instrument every trace, build evals from real traffic, label those traces into a dataset, accept that prompt engineering has a ceiling, run a LoRA fine-tune, freeze the eval set before you train, then repeat the loop. Mos…
