Understanding and Reducing Hallucinations in Large Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) can produce convincing but incorrect information, a phenomenon known as hallucination. This occurs because LLMs generate text by predicting probable sequences based on training data and context, rather than possessing inherent knowledge of truth. While complete elimination of hallucinations may not be possible, techniques such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), tool use, structured outputs, and verification methods can significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of LLM-powered systems.
