   Just curious, where has this term 'noul' come from for yes/no ansers?

   /a bit more digging and..

   A Noul performs a Bernoulli trial—an experiment with exactly two outcomes (yes or no)—but instead of picking one, it returns the calibrated probability (ranging from 0.0 to 1.0) that the statement is true.

   I hate it :)

      The whole "no hallucinations" premise is based on that.

      Like, yeah, you don't hallucinate, but only because you force the user to decide in the end.

         That seems like the only possible way to eliminate hallucination, short of a model that is never wrong.

         And that's...bad?

            Not entirely.

            I think, it's a bit much to call this "no hallucinations".

            Technically true, but in practice you could still choose the wrong result or the probabilities can be off.
