Production AI Agents: The Rise of Probabilistic SRE (pSRE)

Traditional Site Reliability Engineering relies on deterministic SLAs: response codes, latency percentiles, and error budgets. In autonomous agentic systems, failures are probabilistic semantic drift, silent hallucination, and reasoning loops. Welcome to Probabilistic SRE.

Core Tenets of pSRE

  • Semantic Error Budgets
  • Confidence-Gated Execution
  • Automated Trace Attribution
