[Advice Wanted] How do you handle model drift over time?

Worried that models change over time and outputs will get weird. How often do you re-evaluate fine-tuning or prompts?

Have you tried using evaluation datasets to continuously test your models? We maintain a set of "golden examples" that new model versions must pass before deployment.

Vector embeddings are definitely the way to go. We've had good results with ChromaDB for storing our embeddings - it's lightweight and easy to integrate.

We've found that having a robust monitoring system is more important than frequent retraining. We only update our fine-tuning when we see consistent degradation.

Has anyone tried using vector embeddings to detect when the semantic meaning of outputs starts to drift? We're exploring this approach currently.

We monitor for model drift by keeping a holdout set of prompts and expected responses, then running weekly evaluation jobs to track performance changes.
