  1. Hallucinations and Grounding

    15 min

    A model picks the most plausible token, not the truest one. The cure is not asking it to "not make things up" but putting the source in context, requesting checkable quotes, and allowing "not found".

    Included with the track Simulation
  2. Prompt Injection

    16 min

    The model reads your instructions and a product review through the same channel: tokens. When data contains commands, no prompt can separate them — what can is an architecture that limits the damage.

    Included with the track Simulation
  3. Guardrails and Monitoring

    14 min

    A guardrail is code that checks inputs and outputs without trusting the model. Monitoring is what tells you quality has dropped — before users do.
