Fallback
Timeline (last 90 days)
When answering in an interview about the model outputting JSON in the wrong format, the correct approach is strong validation (such as Pydantic) plus logical fallback, rather than only optimizing the prompt.
The fallback mechanism in AI API calls is typically implemented through a priority list, automatically retrying the next available model when the primary model returns a timeout, 429 rate limit error, or 503 service interruption.
Fallback degradation strategies in AI Agent scenarios are typically divided into three levels: same-model retry, cross-model degradation, and rule-engine fallback, which is essentially the migration of the backend circuit-breaker pattern to the AI inference pipeline.
