AI agents must treat model retirement as a release, not configuration

When a language model used by an AI agent is retired, it should be treated as a software release requiring careful planning and execution. Developers must test the new model against an evaluation set and real-world past decisions, comparing differences beyond just pass rates, including tool call formats, latency, and cost. Running the new model in shadow mode alongside the old one is crucial for risk mitigation, and pinning the exact model version in configuration prevents unexpected behavior. AI

IMPACT Provides a structured approach for managing AI agent dependencies, ensuring stability and reliability during model updates.
