🧠Researchers identify 'retrieval-state lock-in,' a failure mode in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems where multiple sampled answers agree despite being wrong because they condition on the same defective retrieval state. The study proposes decomposing confidence scores into three components—answer surface, evidence, and retrieval state—achieving 91.9% precision by requiring all three to agree, though this certifies only 7.7% of answers as low-risk.
