The production gap is not in generating first-draft code; it is in evaluations, authentication, observability, and post-launch ownership. OpenAI’s production guidance treats evaluations as a core engineering requirement alongside reliability, cost, and latency controls – not a feature to add later. The NIST AI Risk Management Framework frames governance, measurement, and ongoing risk management as structural disciplines for any credible AI system.
