Top 6 Reasons Why AI Agents Fail in Production and How to Fix Them
TL;DR
This article explores six primary failure modes: hallucinations, prompt injection vulnerabilities, latency issues from both infrastructure constraints and inefficient agent trajectories, poor tool selection and orchestration, context window limitations causing memory degradation, and distribution shift. While some failures originate from the probabilistic nature of large language models, others
