Developers build LLM harness to filter AI output errors

Developers can improve LLM output quality by building a "harness" around the model, rather than solely relying on prompt engineering. This harness acts as a validation layer, catching "AI slop" such as incorrect formatting, error messages, or off-brand language before it reaches users. The proposed system involves multiple layers, including enforcing structured output, rejecting specific error strings, and checking for adherence to length, banned phrases, and required language constraints.

    Stop Shipping AI Slop: Build an Anti-Slop Harness Around Your LLM

    <p>"AI slop" is not a model problem. It's an engineering problem you decided not to solve.</p> <p>The slop is the bland, off-voice, half-hallucinated, occasionally-just-an-error-message text that your LLM emits maybe 5% of the time — and that 5% is the part users screenshot. The …
