When Every AI Provider Goes Down at the Same Time
Early this month three of the big model providers degraded within a few hours of each other, and a lot of AI features went dark with them. If your product calls one provider and waits, their outage is now your outage. This is how to build a resilience layer in front of your model calls: a circuit breaker that fails fast, health-aware failover across providers, request hedging for the slow tail, and a degraded mode that keeps the lights on when nothing is healthy.
