Hallucination

Hallucination — An LLM output that is plausible but factually incorrect, unsupported by source data, or not grounded in any retrievable evidence.

Hallucinations are mitigated in production with grounding (every answer cites sources), retrieval (agents fetch evidence rather than recalling), and confidence gating (low-confidence outputs escalate).
