The new solution provides more than ten times the speed
OpenAI's study published on September 5th demonstrates that large language models' hallucination problems stem from current evaluation methods that reward guessing instead of expressing uncertainty. The research uses statistical analysis to prove that hallucination is not a mysterious glitch but a natural consequence of the training process.
