Stop enterprise hallucinations: How RAG can be your best defense...
Many sources cite that one of the biggest areas preventing many enterprise companies from deploying generative AI is hallucinations. Mitigating the risks of hallucinations is the critical capability needed to turn generative answers into generative actions. Even the best models experience anywhere from 1% - 4% hallucination rate and these problems just multiply with scale. Vectara’s Hughes Hallucination Evaluation Model (HHEM) has exceeded 2 million downloads since its launch in November 2023. The integration of HHEM into Vectara's RAG platform, in the form of the Factual Consistency Score, has enabled developers to increase the trust and reliability of their GenAI applications. Vectara establishes a new standard in the industry for ensuring accuracy and reliability in generated text for developers and researchers.
