Critical Rules

关键规则

Model Selection & Serving

模型选择与部署

  • MANDATORY: Always benchmark at least 3 model options (cost, latency, quality) before committing
  • Use model routing for cost optimization — cheap model for simple tasks, expensive for complex
  • Serve models behind abstraction layer — swap providers without code changes
  • Implement graceful degradation — if primary model is down, fallback to cheaper model
  • Never hardcode API keys — use environment variables or secrets manager
  • 强制要求:在确定方案前,必须至少对3种模型选项进行基准测试(成本、延迟、质量)
  • 使用模型路由优化成本——简单任务用低成本模型,复杂任务用高成本模型
  • 在抽象层后部署模型——无需修改代码即可切换服务商
  • 实现优雅降级——若主模型故障,自动切换到低成本备用模型
  • 绝不硬编码API密钥——使用环境变量或密钥管理器

RAG Pipeline Production Standards

RAG流水线生产标准

  • Chunk size matters: benchmark 256/512/1024 tokens — measure retrieval quality, not just speed
  • Always use hybrid search (dense + sparse) — pure vector search misses keyword matches
  • Reranking is not optional for production — cross-encoder reranking improves top-k quality by 15-30%
  • Document freshness: implement TTL on embeddings, re-index on source changes
  • Evaluation: use RAGAS or custom metrics (faithfulness, relevance, context precision)
  • 分块大小至关重要:测试256/512/1024 tokens的效果——衡量检索质量而非仅速度
  • 必须使用混合搜索(稠密向量+稀疏向量)——纯向量搜索会遗漏关键词匹配
  • 生产环境中重排是必选项——交叉编码器重排可使top-k检索质量提升15-30%
  • 文档新鲜度:为嵌入向量设置TTL,源文档变更时重新索引
  • 评估:使用RAGAS或自定义指标(忠实度、相关性、上下文精准度)

        └────────────────────── Feedback Loop ──────────────────────────────────────┘
  • Version everything: data, model, config, prompts, evaluation results
  • Automated evaluation before deployment (regression testing on benchmark set)
  • A/B testing infrastructure for model comparison in production
  • Cost tracking per request (token usage, compute time, API costs)
Data → Preprocessing → Training/Fine-tuning → Evaluation → Registry → Serving → Monitoring
        ↑                                                                            │
        └────────────────────── Feedback Loop ──────────────────────────────────────┘
  • 版本化管理所有内容:数据、模型、配置、提示词、评估结果
  • 部署前自动评估(在基准数据集上进行回归测试)
  • 生产环境模型对比的A/B测试基础设施
  • 按请求追踪成本(token使用量、计算时间、API费用)

Evaluation Framework

评估框架

  • Never ship without evaluation suite — minimum 100 test cases covering edge cases
  • Use LLM-as-judge for subjective quality + deterministic checks for structure/safety
  • Track metrics: latency (p50/p95/p99), cost per request, quality score, error rate
  • Regression testing: new model version must meet or beat existing on evaluation suite
  • Human evaluation sampling: 5% of production requests reviewed weekly
  • 未搭建评估套件绝不上线——至少覆盖100个包含边缘场景的测试用例
  • 使用LLM作为评判者评估主观质量,同时进行结构/安全性的确定性检查
  • 追踪指标:延迟(p50/p95/p99)、单请求成本、质量得分、错误率
  • 回归测试:新版本模型必须达到或优于现有模型的评估套件结果
  • 人工评估抽样:每周审核5%的生产请求

Anti-Pattern Watchlist

反模式清单

  • ❌ No evaluation framework ("it works on my examples")
  • ❌ Single model provider with no fallback
  • ❌ RAG without reranking (poor retrieval quality)
  • ❌ No cost tracking (surprise $10K bills)
  • ❌ Synchronous LLM calls blocking user requests (use streaming/async)
  • ❌ 无评估框架(“我的示例能运行就行”)
  • ❌ 单一模型服务商且无备用方案
  • ❌ RAG未配置重排(检索质量差)
  • ❌ 无成本追踪(收到1万美元账单时措手不及)
  • ❌ 同步LLM调用阻塞用户请求(使用流式/异步调用)

Phases

实施阶段

Phase 1 — AI Architecture & Model Selection

阶段1——AI架构与模型选择

  • Benchmark model options: compare cost/latency/quality on representative samples
  • Design model routing strategy (simple → cheap model, complex → premium model)
  • Design RAG architecture if applicable (chunking strategy, embedding model, vector DB, reranker)
  • Set up provider abstraction layer:
    python
    # Example: LiteLLM provider abstraction
    from litellm import completion
    response = completion(model="gpt-4", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}])
    # Swap to: model="claude-3-opus" — zero code changes
  • Define evaluation metrics and acceptance criteria
  • Gate: Do not proceed until model benchmarks show ≥1 candidate meeting acceptance criteria.
  • 基准测试模型选项:在代表性样本上对比成本/延迟/质量
  • 设计模型路由策略(简单任务→低成本模型,复杂任务→高端模型)
  • 若适用则设计RAG架构(分块策略、嵌入模型、向量数据库、重排器)
  • 搭建服务商抽象层:
    python
    # Example: LiteLLM provider abstraction
    from litellm import completion
    response = completion(model="gpt-4", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}])
    # Swap to: model="claude-3-opus" — zero code changes
  • 定义评估指标与验收标准
  • 准入门槛:模型基准测试显示至少1个候选模型满足验收标准后,方可进入下一阶段。

Phase 2 — ML Pipeline & Fine-Tuning

阶段2——ML流水线与微调

  • Data pipeline: collection, cleaning, formatting (JSONL, Parquet)
  • Fine-tuning setup: LoRA/QLoRA for efficiency, full fine-tune for critical models
  • Training infrastructure: cloud GPUs (RunPod, Lambda, together.ai) or managed (OpenAI, Vertex)
  • Hyperparameter optimization: learning rate sweep, epoch tuning, data mix ratios
  • Model registry: version, tag, promote (staging → production)
  • Gate: Do not proceed until evaluation on benchmark set shows fine-tuned model meets acceptance criteria from Phase 1.
  • 数据流水线:收集、清洗、格式化(JSONL、Parquet)
  • 微调设置:使用LoRA/QLoRA提升效率,关键模型采用全量微调
  • 训练基础设施:云GPU(RunPod、Lambda、together.ai)或托管服务(OpenAI、Vertex)
  • 超参数优化:学习率扫描、轮数调优、数据混合比例
  • 模型注册表:版本化、打标签、环境晋升( staging → production)
  • 准入门槛:基准数据集评估显示微调后模型满足阶段1的验收标准后,方可进入下一阶段。

Phase 3 — Serving & Integration

阶段3——部署与集成

  • Model serving: API endpoints with streaming support
  • Caching layer: semantic cache for repeated/similar queries (save 30-60% costs)
  • Rate limiting and quota management per user/tenant
  • Streaming responses for real-time UX
  • Error handling: timeout → retry → fallback model → graceful error message
  • 模型部署:支持流式响应的API端点
  • 缓存层:针对重复/相似查询的语义缓存(节省30-60%成本)
  • 按用户/租户设置速率限制与配额管理
  • 实时用户体验的流式响应
  • 错误处理:超时→重试→备用模型→友好错误提示

Phase 4 — Evaluation & Monitoring

阶段4——评估与监控

  • Automated evaluation suite (100+ test cases)
  • Production monitoring: latency, error rate, cost, quality drift
  • A/B testing framework for model comparison
  • Feedback loop: user feedback → evaluation → model improvement
  • Alerting: cost spike, latency spike, quality degradation, error rate increase
  • 自动化评估套件(100+测试用例)
  • 生产监控:延迟、错误率、成本、质量漂移
  • 模型对比的A/B测试框架
  • 反馈循环:用户反馈→评估→模型优化
  • 告警:成本飙升、延迟飙升、质量下降、错误率上升
