The paper outlines Meta’s deployment time health check infrastructure, called Service Health Checker, which mediates the trade‑off between rapid release velocity and system reliability across thousands of heterogeneous services. It explains how check authors compose templated metric queries, thresholds, and workflow predicates, and how the system integrates with tiered and phased rollouts to trigger automatic rollback on regressions. The authors also discuss operational challenges that arose at scale—such as noise, alert fatigue, drift, and uncovered regressions—and the measurement, tooling, and default improvements they implemented to address these issues, concluding with lessons learned and future directions including AI‑assisted tuning.

AegisFlow is a multi‑agent AI framework that automates the detection and remediation of failures in data pipelines, using a Watchdog agent for telemetry and a Repair agent that generates, tests, and deploys code patches via large language models. It employs a non‑intrusive Parallel Shadow Patching approach based on the MAPE‑K loop to validate patches in digital twin environments. Experiments across five failure scenarios show a 98.1% reduction in mean time to repair—from 170 minutes to 3.2 minutes—and a 92% patch success rate, freeing up 98% of data engineering on‑call time for innovation.

arXiv:2605. 12729v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly being used to support network operations (NetOps) and artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps), including incident investigation, root-cause analysis, configuration synthesis, and limited self-healing.
The paper introduces the Alignment Flywheel, a governance‑centric hybrid multi‑agent system (MAS) that separates decision generation from safety governance. It defines a Proposer that generates candidate trajectories, a Safety Oracle stack that evaluates safety, and an Enforcement layer that applies risk policies at runtime. A governance MAS oversees monitoring, red‑teaming, verification, and versioned release management, enabling patch‑local fixes to safety failures without retraining the Proposer. The architecture is implementation‑agnostic and is demonstrated in two scenarios: a learned spatial Oracle and a clinical GenAI proxy. The authors provide open‑source code at https://github.com/decide-ugent/Alignment-Flywheel.
Pre-deployment safety evaluations aim to inform the downstream risks of releasing a new AI model. Yet most evaluations provide limited evidence about how often undesired model behavior will occur in deployment: they generally have insufficient coverage, are unrepresentative, and are generally recognizable as tests.
arXiv:2607. 14570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI software development agents are increasingly capable of modifying infrastructure and security critical systems, creating risks where an agent completes its assigned task while covertly weakening safeguards through actions such as broadening permissions, degrading logging, or introducing persistence mechanisms.
SafeTune is a source‑available library that consolidates four safety‑intervention paradigms—post‑hoc weight recovery, safety‑constrained fine‑tuning, gradient‑based unlearning, and inference‑time steering—into a single, configuration‑driven workflow. It offers shared interpretability, evaluation, and deployment tools, and its modular registry allows easy addition of new methods, benchmarks, judges, models, and fine‑tuning domains. The authors demonstrate SafeTune with controlled comparisons and case studies in finance and medical deployments, showing how it characterizes safety drift, evaluates interventions on refusal‑behavior and capability metrics, and supports calibrated or layered mitigation.
The paper proposes AI Deployment Accountability Engineering (ADAE), a new subdiscipline focused on establishing measurable, continuous, and actionable accountability for AI systems once they are deployed. ADAE treats accountability as a deployment-layer property, aiming to ensure systems remain within acceptable risk limits, identify failure contexts, attribute failures across technical and human components, and translate technical failures into downstream consequences. The authors outline a research agenda built around four pillars—structured discovery of context-dependent failure modes, privacy-preserving accountability measurement, system-level risk analysis for agentic AI, and translation of technical failures into operational and institutional risks—to support timely intervention in safety-critical socio-technical environments.
arXiv:2608. 14089v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safety classifiers deployed with large language models often fail for two reasons: their decisions reflect the policy learned during training rather than the deployer's desired policy, and their performance degrades as deployment traffic evolves.
arXiv:2606. 15980v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Activation monitors-lightweight probes trained on a language model's internal representations-are an increasingly common layer in deployment safety stacks.
