Position: It's Time to Optimize LLMs for Self-Consistency

arXiv:2608. 05188v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite ever-increasing sophistication in language model (LM) pre- and post-training pipelines, many important failures persist: models overcondition on user framing ("sycophancy"), exhibit incomplete logical generalization, and produce confident but incorrect responses.
