Hallucination Reduction Through Observation Grounding

* ⭐ 11/2022: [BLOOM: A 176B-Parameter Open-Access Multilingual Language Model (BLOOM)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.05100)

Unique: Addresses hallucination not through model architecture changes or fine-tuning, but through the prompting methodology itself — by requiring the LLM to retrieve and observe evidence before reasoning, creating a natural feedback loop that catches and corrects hallucinations.

vs others: More practical than retraining or fine-tuning because it works with existing LLMs, and more effective than pure chain-of-thought because it grounds reasoning in real external observations rather than relying solely on training data.
