I have to use LLMs for work projects - which are not PoCs.

I can’t have a tool that makes up stuff an unknown amount of time.

There is a world of research examining hallucination Rates, indicating hallucination rates of 30%+.

With steps to reduce it using RAGs, you could potentially improve the results significantly - last I checked it was 80-90%.

And the failure types aren’t just accuracy, it’s precision, recall, relevance and more.

I want to see a citation for this. And a clear definition for what is a hallucination and what isn't.
