The article titled "Ten Is Not a Hundred" discusses how the number ten can mislead hallucination detectors. It highlights a specific instance where this numerical confusion caused errors in automated systems. The piece was originally published on Towards Data Science.

The article describes a small NumPy reproduction of subliminal learning, demonstrating how a neural network can learn to read digits from pure noise. It provides a concise implementation and a brief argument explaining why this phenomenon occurs.

The article reports on a benchmark where the author evaluated TypeSafe AI’s Jev against large language models (LLMs) across 3,080 classification tasks, comparing metrics such as accuracy, latency, calibration, and confidence. It examines whether Jev can serve as a practical decision layer for AI systems, effectively moving AI from merely generating outputs to making informed decisions.

The article examines the distribution of logits from open AI models, both base and instruction-tuned, to determine how many guesses are required to crack an AI’s supposedly random number. By converting the logits into bits, the author quantifies the predictability of the models’ outputs. The analysis highlights the gap between perceived randomness and actual statistical patterns in AI-generated numbers.

The article examines the performance of AI models on a 2,000-question test, finding that the top two models were indistinguishable at the conventional 5% significance level. When the test was reduced to 200 questions, a different model would have claimed first place roughly three times out of ten trials. The piece questions the reliability of declaring a single model as the best based on limited testing.
