Balancing Reliability, Alignment, and Cost in Scalable AI Systems

As AI systems scale to combine LLMs, RLHF, tool-use, and retrieval-augmented generation, a key challenge is determining a practical architecture that balances reliability, alignment, and cost. The question is whether these systems should converge into a unified agent stack or remain modular ensembles of specialized models. Additionally, there is a need to benchmark 'real-world robustness' beyond static evaluations to reflect continuous learning, distribution shift, and tool failure in production environments.
