A new paper proposes gradient-based hallucination detection using internal model signals instead of external fact-checking or sampling-based consistency. The notable bit: it works at inference without needing multiple sampled generations, so the overhead is low enough to actually run in a hot path. Reliable self-flagging is the dependency under every "agent routes its uncertain output to human review" design. Single-source, so treat the numbers as preliminary.
