Performance drift refers to the phenomenon of gradual degradation in model output quality over time, which may stem from silent updates by the model provider, changes in the distribution of contextual data, and updates to the knowledge base of the RAG system.

UnverifiedPerformance Drift is a real and often underestimated risk in LLM applications; upstream model API upgrades, accumulated prompt fine-tuning, and changes in external tool return formats can all cause an Agent's behavior to gradually deviate from expectations without triggering any errors.76% similarUnverifiedThrottling may manifest as slower response speeds, automatic switching to a less capable model version, or reduced context length.75% similarUnverifiedModel drift is characterized by gradual degradation of output quality, rather than targeted revisitation of already-completed nodes75% similarUnverifiedIn the context of continuous delivery, a regression specifically refers to a change introduced by a new version that causes a system capability to deteriorate, which may manifest as increased latency, higher error rates, reduced throughput, or feature failures.74% similarVerifiedData Drift refers to the continuous degradation of model performance without any errors when the statistical properties of real online data deviate from the training set.73% similar
