What to notice while you play.

Objective

Use commands and observable output to explain distinguish training and inference without changing a real model or service.

Hint

Start with cat /opt/ai-lab/foundations/system-map.txt. Then run aiops models compare distinguish-training-and-inference before collecting the final evidence.

Why it matters

Distinguish training and inference is an operator skill because AI behavior must be connected to versioned configuration, runtime state, and inspectable evidence.

Common mistakes
  • Skipping the baseline fixture before reasoning about distinguish training and inference.
  • Treating one simulated output as proof of root cause instead of one bounded piece of evidence.
Reference

Commands in this lesson.

aiops models

Inspect the simulated model catalog, manifests, and version comparisons.

aiops prompts

Review versioned prompt metadata and deterministic prompt diffs.

aiops evals

Run and inspect bounded evaluation fixtures without model execution.

aiops rag

Inspect retrieval documents, chunks, index status, and reviewed results.

aiops traces

Read deterministic request traces, summaries, and latency evidence.

aiops guardrails

Review simulated guardrail policies, checks, and audit summaries.

aiops cost

Estimate cost and capacity from fixed training metrics.

aiops incidents

Review incident timelines, evidence bundles, and operator notes.
