Chaos and Pain in Machine Learning, and the ‘DevOps for ML Manifesto'

Argues that ad hoc deployment causes “chaos and pain,” citing the oft‑quoted 80% of AI projects fail and that models can start spewing garbage in seconds without monitoring. Recommends devops for ml: automatic versioning of environment, code, data and metrics; a git‑like system for terabyte datasets — dot mesh (open source, ZFS‑backed) that diffs large data, tracks runs, diffs notebooks and stores models; CI/CD into Kubernetes and monitoring with Prometheus + Grafana to detect distribution drift and enable reproducibility.
