Building Reliable AI Systems

Separate model capability, system reliability and delegation judgment. Prefer official documentation, production reports, evaluation guidance and failure postmortems.

Suggested sequence

  1. 01

    Start with current official documentation

  2. 02

    Study structured outputs, retrieval, tools and human review

  4. 04

    Read failures alongside success stories

Questions to carry

  • What can the model do favorably?
