AI & ML Research

Researchers are exploring new methods to combat AI hallucinations, with one approach suggesting that Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems should avoid returning raw text. Instead, the proposed "Typed Answer Contract" mandates that each field in the returned schema represents a specific question the model must answer, allowing for verifiable responses and reducing the likelihood of fabricated information Stop Returning Text RAG. Concurrently, efforts continue towards making large language model deployment more accessible, though significant challenges remain before individuals can easily set up their own LLMs locally Setting Up Your Own.
