Show HN: I built a circuit breaker that predicts AI failures

https://github.com/CULPRITCHAOS/Interlock
1•CULPRITCHAOS•22h ago
Hi HN — I built this and I’m explicitly asking skeptics to tear it apart.” Interlock is a safety and certification layer for AI infrastructure, not an optimizer or a vector database.

The problem I am solving for is that AI systems (vector search, RAG pipelines, agent frameworks) don’t usually fail cleanly — they degrade silently, oscillate under load, or keep returning corrupted results until something crashes. Monitoring tells you after the fact; circuit breakers tend to be static and blind to context.

Interlock tries to address that by:

forecasting time-to-failure under stress

intervening before hard limits are reached

refusing to serve results when confidence collapses

producing cryptographically signed evidence of what happened (control vs protected runs)

It includes:

integrations with FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, LangChain, LlamaIndex (Elasticsearch experimental)

TypeScript + Python support

automated stress tests (control vs protected)

long-run stability tests

certification classes (I–V) derived from actual configuration + behavior, not labels

Importantly: Interlock does not guarantee correctness or uptime. It certifies that a given configuration survived a defined stress test without crashing, oscillating, or serving degraded results — similar to a structural load rating rather than a promise.

The repo is fully open source, and all claims link to test artifacts and CI runs. I’m especially interested in feedback on:

failure modes this wouldn’t catch

where the certification model is too strict or too weak

whether this is actually useful in real production AI systems

Happy to answer questions or be told why this is a bad idea lol
