Testing model pruning performance for production AI
Model pruning is a proven way to cut inference latency and memory usage in production AI systems. Yet pruning also changes the model's behavior, so testing its impact is essential to avoid hidden degradations in production.

Testing prompt sensitivity to whitespace in production AI
Whitespace is not a neutral carrier for prompts. In production AI, tiny formatting differences—especially spaces, line breaks, and trailing whitespace—can shift outputs, alter evaluation results, or change how a model routes a request.
