LLM confidence miscalibrated in hidden-information tasks, study finds

A new research paper explores the disconnect between Large Language Models' (LLMs) stated confidence and their actual accuracy in decision-making, particularly in scenarios with hidden information. The study found that LLMs often express high confidence in their predictions even when those predictions are incorrect, a phenomenon observed across multiple model configurations and providers. This miscalibration can go undetected by standard evaluations that focus solely on outcomes, highlighting a critical gap in assessing LLM reliability for agentic systems. AI

影响 Highlights a critical gap in LLM reliability for agentic systems, suggesting current evaluations may not capture true decision-making quality.

    行动时刻的自信:隐藏信息下大语言模型博弈中的信念校准误差

    arXiv:2608.24691v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems increasingly gate actions on a model's own stated confidence, which assumes confidence tracks correctness at the moment of acting. We test this in a hidden-information chess variant where royal status can be secretly…
