AI projects face post-launch failure due to degradation and poor monitoring

AI projects often fail after launch due to silent degradation and a lack of output quality monitoring, despite passing pre-launch tests. Models like Qwen2.5-7B can degrade significantly when exceeding a certain context window percentage, a phenomenon that requires techniques like population stability index and shadow traffic comparison to detect. Furthermore, many organizations focus on basic performance metrics rather than AI-specific issues like hallucinations and data drift, which are crucial for maintaining output quality and mitigating legal liabilities.
