CFC Rule Tested: Can Simple Control Stop LLMs from Hallucinating Decisions?
Plastic-Cell-4497 · reddit · 2026-08-16
The author tested "Comparative Feedback Control (CFC)" to prevent LLMs from making unjustified final decisions when evidence is insufficient. Experiments covered scenarios like treating missing evidence as negative or reusing old certificates. Findings show models often invent rules under pressure to finish tasks; explicit CFC rules eliminated several failure modes in exploratory runs, such as incorrect status transfer. The author notes this is not a benchmark but an investigation into reproducible failure mechanisms.
