Description: The episode discusses 'I-CALM,' a method that uses prompt engineering to reduce LLM hallucinations. By implementing a reward system that incentivizes abstaining when unsure, the model becomes more honest about its knowledge gaps. This approach improves reliability without needing to retrain the underlying model.
