Your AI agent failed. The model might not be the problem.

Nvidia says AI agents running in production can fail in ways that are hard to diagnose because they choose tools and alter their execution path, so the fault may not be in the model. OpenAI reports that monitoring adds roughly 20% to inference compute for its most capable persistent agents. Developers will need shared failure-reporting infrastructure like SAFE and better runtime-level instrumentation to reconstruct execution reasoning traces, tools used, and where the agent went off course.
