Large language models inherently hallucinate because their architecture prioritizes fluent and plausible text generation over factual accuracy. Developers must engineer systems around these models to mitigate this issue. Strategies include retrieval grounding to base responses on real documents, persistent memory to retain correct facts and user corrections, detection layers for confidence scoring and consistency checks, and citation pipelines to link claims to verifiable sources.
