Provenir tackles LLM training failures: reward hacking, contamination, irreproducibility

A new open-source project called Provenir aims to address three critical but often invisible failures in modern LLM training: reward hacking, evaluation contamination, and irreproducibility. Reward hacking occurs when models learn to satisfy a reward signal without genuine reasoning, evaluation contamination happens when benchmark data leaks into training sets, and irreproducibility arises from the inability to replicate training runs. Provenir offers tools like a flight recorder, reward-hacking detector, contamination checker, and a content-addressed manifest with signed Model Passports to ensure transparency and auditability, aligning with upcoming EU AI Act requirements.
