    Alea iacta non est: rerolling the LLM dice

    A developer created a tool called 'reroll' that generates LLM responses five times to test consistency and analyze variation patterns. The tool uses Haiku to categorize differences—whether answers are uniform, mostly uniform, split, or highly divergent—and identifies whether variations stem from different interpretations, different next moves, or contradictions that suggest hallucinations.

    Building an open source AEC compliance checker that does not guess

    PlanLint is an open-source AEC compliance checker that uses LLMs only for entity recognition and text parsing, while delegating all compliance verdicts to deterministic Python logic grounded in actual CAD geometry and codebook rules. The system models compliance as a bipartite graph in Neo4j, ingesting architectural drawings through specialized pipelines for different sheet types and applying rule-based verification to prevent AI hallucinations that could pass non-compliant designs.

    Prompt steering can reduce DeepSeek v4 hallucinations to below GPT and Claude

    Researchers demonstrated that prompt steering can reduce DeepSeek v4 Pro's hallucination rate below GPT and Claude by tailoring system prompts to the model's specific tendencies. Using the Omniscience benchmark, they found that custom mitigations focused on encouraging abstention significantly outperformed generic anti-hallucination instructions while maintaining accuracy.

    Show HN: What an agent does when anyone can read and rewrite its context

    A demonstration of how AI agents behave when given read-write access to their own context window. The agent self-corrects false notes, edits its own hallucinations, verifies its reasoning by querying copies of itself, and can be manipulated through context editing—sometimes retracting true statements when context is hidden or falsified.

    AI Risk: The Approval Nobody Signed Off

    AI systems make autonomous decisions at runtime without pre-approval, creating governance gaps that traditional oversight cannot address. Companies suffer real liability when AI models hallucinate or misclassify without human review, representing governance failures rather than technology failures. Effective risk management requires robust oversight structures, since no model will achieve zero error rates.

    We blind-tested ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini on 20 everyday tasks (Open Dataset)

    A blind test of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini across 20 everyday tasks found ChatGPT leading with a 40% clean win rate, Claude second at 25%, and Gemini at 15%, with 20% of prompts resulting in ties. The evaluation revealed genuine failures: Gemini prescribed unsafe exercises to a back-pain patient, Claude violated explicit recipe constraints and exceeded character limits, and Gemini missed documented meeting action items. Scoring was based on task completion, factual accuracy, clarity, usability, and format compliance.
