Honest Lying: Understanding Memory Confabulation in Reflexive Agents

Researchers discovered that reflexive AI agents systematically store confident but false interpretations of tasks in their memory, a phenomenon called memory confabulation, causing them to repeat incorrect behaviors even when environments reset. The study introduces a metric to detect this failure mode and proposes programmatic solutions that significantly improve agent performance and reduce reliance on false reflective content.

A Geometric Taxonomy of Hallucinations in LLMs

Researchers propose a geometric framework for detecting hallucinations in large language models by analyzing embedding space structure, categorizing three types of errors with different detectability profiles. The approach outperforms standard NLI baselines on expert-annotated datasets, providing interpretable diagnostics for production systems operating under black-box constraints.
