1. **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG):** Ground responses in trusted, retrieved data instead of relying on the model's memory.
2. **Require Citations:** Demand sources for factual claims; retract claims without support.
3. **Tool Calling:** Use LLMs to route requests to verified systems of record (databases, APIs) rather than generating facts directly.
4. **Post-Generation Verification:** Employ a "judge" model to evaluate and score responses for factual accuracy, regenerating or refusing low-scoring outputs. Chain-of-Verification (CoVe) is highlighted.
5. **Bias Toward Quoting:** Prioritize direct quotes over paraphrasing to reduce factual drift.
6. **Calibrate Uncertainty:** Design for safe failure by incorporating confidence scoring, thresholds, and fallback responses.
7. **Continuous Evaluation & Monitoring:** Track hallucination rates and other key metrics to identify and address performance degradation. User feedback loops are critical.
