A practical guide to eliminating generative hallucinations using constrained decoding, cross-encoder reranking, ground-truth evaluation, and deterministic JSON schemas.
Every engineering team building their first AI chatbot attempts the same prompt hack: "You are a helpful assistant. Only answer based on the provided text. If you do not know, say 'I don't know'."
In production, this prompt collapses. When asked slightly ambiguous questions or subjected to subtle prompt injection, foundation models will invent plausible-sounding citations, fabricated API endpoints, or phantom medical protocols.
To build reliable software, we treat LLMs as untrusted statistical engines and wrap them in deterministic compilation boundaries.
While model weights remain probabilistic, application-level hallucinations can be eliminated using constrained decoding schemas and strict retrieval score thresholds that refuse unverified outputs.
