Microsoft's ResNet swept the 2015 vision contests by adding each layer's input back to its output, the skip connection now wired into every transformer.
A faithful summary of a false passage passes the hallucination test
Vectara's leaderboard, the number behind every 'which AI hallucinates least' ranking, scores each model on how faithfully it summarizes a passage it was handed.
