We built a public archive of AI failure patterns. The ones that keep coming back after changes.
Summary
An archive called Agent Fail Museum documents recurring AI failure patterns and provides regression test drafts for submitted failures, aiming to prevent repeat incidents.

The weirdest thing about AI agents is how human failure patterns start showing up
The author observes that AI agents exhibit human-like failure patterns, such as overconfidence and skipping steps under context pressure, suggesting that system reliability depends more on robust validation and controlled environments than just model intelligence.
AI agents fail in ways nobody writes about. Here's what I've actually seen.
The article highlights practical system-level failures in AI agent workflows, such as context bleed and hallucinated details, arguing that these are often infrastructure issues rather than model defects.
AI From the Trenches: Why Its Brilliance and Failures Share the Same Root
The author shares two years of experience building a platform with AI, identifying six recurring failure modes (Band-Aid, Assumption, Drift, Hallucination, Lack of Common Sense, Path of Least Resistance) and argues that even as models improve, these failure modes persist, becoming harder to detect.
Something I keep seeing with AI projects that nobody talks about openly
This article highlights that many AI agent projects fail in production not because of model quality, but because teams launch without clearly defining what constitutes failure, missing critical edge cases that lead to confident incorrect outputs.
I analyzed how 50+ AI teams debug production agent failures and got surprised
Based on interviews with 50+ AI teams, the author highlights that production agent failures often stem from minor prompt or configuration issues rather than deep model problems. The article advocates for adopting software engineering practices like versioning, A/B testing, and experiment tracking to improve reliability.
