Fable 5 lasted three days before getting pulled. Not because it was bad, the suspension had nothing to do with the model’s actual quality.
Got me thinking about how most “model risk” planning is just “what if the output gets worse” or “what if the API goes down.” Those are testable. What’s apparently not testable is “what if access to this exact model just stops existing for reasons completely unrelated to how good it is.”
Anyone actually built real fallback paths for this, like a different provider entirely, not just a cheaper model from the same one? Or is everyone just assuming the model they built on will still be there next month?
