AI apps often fail in production due to scale and reliability issues

Many AI applications fail in production due to issues that do not appear in controlled demos. Common problems include high latency, unpredictable LLM outputs at scale, and hitting API rate limits without proper fallbacks. The article emphasizes that building for reliability and handling chaotic real-world conditions is more crucial for success than demonstrating cleverness in a demo. AI
