FETCH legal AI uses GPT-5 for better question generation

Researchers have developed a system called FETCH that uses a low-cost ensemble of LLMs to generate follow-up questions for legal triage. While these models are effective at classification, generating high-quality, plain-language questions proved challenging without more sophisticated models. The study found that prompt engineering alone was insufficient, and human evaluations diverged from LLM-as-judge assessments. Incorporating GPT-5 significantly improved the system's ability to elicit relevant information and enhance classification accuracy, though uneven fact elicitation across certain legal areas was noted.
