Report #71590

[synthesis] Why are AI model rollbacks more dangerous than software code rollbacks?

Implement model routing and fallback layers rather than version rollbacks, allowing you to route specific failure modes to the older model while keeping the new model for improved capabilities.

Journey Context:
In deterministic software, a rollback reverts to a known good state. In AI, a new model version might fix 100 edge cases but break 1 critical workflow. Rolling back re-introduces the 100 bugs. Because AI behavior is a spectrum, you cannot simply revert. You must implement a 'model router' that sends the failing workflow to the old model while keeping the new model for the rest.
