Your Team Doesn’t Need a Better AI Model This Week

Short summary

Model shopping is misdirected. Build durable AI workflows with Postgres state, idempotency keys, and checkpoints—apply the distributed-systems patterns you've mastered (compensation, retries, transaction logs) to AI execution. Permission systems need tiering to reduce fatigue and enable auditing. The constraint shifted from model intelligence to workflow reliability. Dedicated team ownership of AI reliability, not prompt optimization, wins in production.

• •Workflow durability matters more than model selection when shipping AI systems
• •Implement Postgres state, idempotency keys, checkpoints, and tiered permission systems
• •Apply proven distributed-systems patterns (compensation, retries, transaction logs) to prevent operational failures

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
