๐Ÿ“ฐ Dev.to ยท Nilofer ๐Ÿš€

Learn to classify agent failures in LLMs using post-hoc root cause analysis to improve reliability and performance

advanced Published 29 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Collect failure traces from LLM agent runs
  2. Preprocess the traces to extract relevant features
  3. Train a classifier to identify root causes of failures
  4. Apply the classifier to new failure traces to predict root causes
  5. Refine the classifier based on feedback and new data
