Defining AI Hallucinations: Narrow vs Broad Interpretations
By
–
Do you take a narrower or broader meaning for the term “hallucination”? Does it mean (only) overgeneralizations and confabulations? Or do you also include, for example, boneheaded errors that could have been solved by search?

EasySteer: Unified Framework for High-Performance LLM Steering
By
–
Want to precisely control your LLM's behavior without expensive retraining? New research from Zhejiang University unveils EasySteer, a unified framework for high-performance and extensible LLM steering. It's a unified framework that lets you finely tune LLM responses in real-time by subtly adjusting their internal 'thoughts' or hidden states. This lightweight method offers modular control and pre-computed steering options, sidestepping costly model retraining. EasySteer achieves a game-changing 10.8-22.3x speedup over current methods. It dramatically reduces common LLM issues like overthinking and hallucinations, making advanced steering a robust, production-ready tool for deployable, controllable language models. EasySteer: A Unified Framework for High-Performance and Extensible LLM Steering Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2509.25175 Code: github.com/ZJU-REAL/EasyStee… Our report: mp.weixin.qq.com/s/dxuJHvXOf… 📬 #PapersAccepted by Jiqizhixin

Gemma 4 watches raw video. Understands the scene. Then prompts SAM 3 to segment and RF-DETR to track.

One AI directing two others. Fighter jets. Crowds. Aerial defense footage.
All three models running locally on a MacBook. No cloud.
What scene should I point this at next? pic.twitter.com/vNVgVloAGBGemma 4 watches raw video. Understands the scene. Then prompts SAM 3 to segment and RF-DETR to track. One AI directing two others.
