Multi-provider LLM gateways reverse proxies that route, load-balance, and rate-limit requests across foundation-model APIs have become critical production infrastructure. Yet the failure modes specific to this architectural layer remain undocumented, scattered across issue trackers and post-mortems with no unifying framework. We introduce \fa{}, a two-axis taxonomy that classifies failures by their \emph{origin layer} (Network/Transport, Streaming/Protocol, State/Session, Model~Behavior, Governance/Cost) and their \emph{detectability} (Loud vs.\ Silent). We populate this taxonomy with five verified catalog entries sourced from public bug reports and first-hand stress testing, each accompanied by a mechanistic root-cause analysis. Three entries include standalone reproduction scripts. Our principal finding is that the most operationally severe failures are \emph{silent}: they return HTTP~200, pass every standard health check, and corrupt application state in ways that require semantic-level observability to detect. Two such silent failures a concurrency race condition causing history loss and a streaming index collision corrupting tool-call payloads were discovered first-hand during \cb{} evaluation campaigns.
Verification consumes the majority of modern chip design effort, yet the formal verification tools that provide mathematical guarantees of correctness remain expensive and restrictively licensed. While large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for hardware design, existing…
In recent years, with the development of big data technology, increasingly more companies use HDFS for data processing and storage. As a result, the maintenance of distributed file systems has become an extremely important part of data management. As the function of server system…
Large language models increasingly write and repair production code, yet evidence is mounting that their test-passing patches leave codebases harder to maintain. We identify one concrete source: deletion avoidance, the systematic tendency to retain code that an intended edit requ…
Branch and Bound (BaB) aims to achieve complete verification of neural networks by adaptively partitioning the problem and applying off-the-shelf verifiers to subproblems. Its problem-splitting history can be represented as a tree, where each subproblem corresponds to a child nod…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated a strong ability to generate syntactically correct code from natural-language specifications. In this study, we explore how LLMs can be harnessed to automatically translate a neutral graph representation of fluid system models into e…
Quantum software engineering is an emerging research field focusing on efficiently embedding the quantum programming paradigm into existing software ecosystems. A key aspect of this field is the realization of quantum algorithms using gate-based programming and the subsequent low…
