CI/CD for AI model deployments

This post introduces a CI/CD framework for AI model deployments on Baseten. It details a four-step process: creating a development deployment using `truss push` (which acts as a staging environment with live reload), validating the new deployment through API calls to a dedicated development endpoint, promoting the validated deployment to production via an API call that seamlessly transitions traffic, and enabling quick rollbacks by retaining previous production deployments. The post emphasizes automating these steps into a script to save time and manual effort, highlighting the challenge of validating non-deterministic AI model outputs and suggesting separating model evaluation from deployment.
