There is no single detector; pick by whether you have a ground-truth/context to check against. ## Choose a method by what you have **You have retrieved context (RAG / QA):** check **faithfulness / groundedness** - is every claim in the answer supported by the retrieved context? - NLI/entailment: run each answer sentence against the context with an entailment model; unsupported sentences are suspect. - LLM-as-a-judge: ask a strong model "is this answer fully supported by the context? list any unsupported claims." Cheap, effective, calibrate it (see `add-llm-evals`). **You have no reference (open-ended generation):** use **consistency across samples** - a model that knows the answer says the same thing across re-samples; a hallucinating model varies. - **Self-consistency (SelfCheckGPT-style):** sample the answer N times; measure agreement. High disagreement = likely hallucination. - **Semantic entropy:** cluster the N samples by *meaning* (bidirectional entailment), then compute entropy over the semantic clusters. High semantic entropy = the model is uncertain about the *fact*, not just the wording. This is the current state of the art for reference-free detection. **Cheap signals to combine:** token log-probs / low confidence, and "I don't know"-style hedging. Weak alone, useful as features. See [`references/methods.md`](references/methods.md) for how each method works, cost/latency tradeoffs, and which libraries implement them. ## Wire it into production 1. Run the detector **inline** on high-stakes answers (block/route to human on high hallucination score) or **sampled** on traffic (dashboard + alert). 2. Emit the score as a span attribute so hallucination rate is trackable over time (see `instrument-llm-observability`). 3. For RAG, log which claims were unsupported so failures are diagnosable (ties to `monitor-rag-quality`). ## Calibrate (do not skip) Any detector has false positives/negatives. Label ~50 answers (hallucinated vs not) and tune the threshold to your tolerance - blocking flow favors recall (catch more), UX flow favors precision (fewer false blocks). Re-check after model changes. ## Anti-patterns - Trusting a single LLM-as-judge call as ground truth without calibration. - Using consistency methods on deterministic (temperature 0) output - you need sampling diversity for them to work. - Checking only the final answer in RAG, never which retrieved claim was (un)supported. - Treating low token-probability as proof of hallucination - it is a weak signal, not a verdict. ## Grounding Self-consistency: SelfCheckGPT, Manakul et al. 2023 ([arXiv:2303.08896](https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.08896)).
