Probably wants to prevent hallucinations and factual errors from reaching users, and achieve accuracy on par with deterministic systems.

Probably raises $9M to build a more reliable kind of AI

TL;DR

  • Probably aims to prevent hallucinations and factual errors in LLMs.
  • The company raised $9 million in seed funding from Andreessen Horowitz.
  • Their approach uses a "harness system" and a deterministic validator to check LLM outputs.
  • This method allows for the use of smaller AI models that can run on local hardware.
  • The technology is expected to reduce token costs associated with AI use.
  • The engine can be extended to other precision-sensitive use cases beyond data science.
