🧠 How do you ensure reliability when LLMs randomly change their output style or logic?
Anyone building serious AI systems knows this pain — same prompt, same model, different result. Sometimes it’s formatting drift, sometimes it’s reasoning quality suddenly dropping for no clear reason. So here’s the question for experienced builders: How do you stabilize LLM performance across runs and updates? Do you rely on prompt enclosures, structured parsers, few-shot consistency prompts, or custom model fine-tuning? And how often do you re-validate outputs after OpenAI or Anthropic silently tweak model behavior? Let’s compare methods that actually work — not theory, but real practices for keeping agent workflows stable.
