New Open Source AI Model Can Check Itself and Avoid Hallucinations

A brand new AI from New York-based startup HyperWrite is in the spotlight for a of different reason–it’s using a new open source error-trapping system to avoid many classic “hallucination” issues that regularly plague chatbots like ChatGPT or Google Gemini, which famously told people to put glue on pizza earlier this year.

The new AI, called Reflection 70B, is based on Meta’s open source Llama model, news site VentureBeat reports. The goal is to introduce the new AI into the company’s main product, a writing assistant that helps people craft their words and adapt to what the user needs it for–one of the type of creative ideas “sparking” tasks that generative AI is well suited for.
