Anaconda's LLMOps guide: retrieval quality degrades independently of the model

Anaconda published a production LLMOps guide arguing retrieval quality degrades independently of the model: corpus growth dilutes precision and swapping embedding models invalidates existing vectors, so monitoring must track retrieval separately from generation. It lays out a five-stage lifecycle (Design, Evaluate, Deploy, Observe, Improve) with governance running through each, and cites McKinsey's Aug 2026 survey: 90% of organizations use AI in at least one function, but only 44% have scaled it enterprise-wide and 20% have scaled agents.
