All of the examples on the linked page seem to be "good" outputs. Attribution sounds most useful to me in cases where an LLM produces the typical kind of garbage response: wrong information in the training data, hallucinations, sycophancy, over-eagerly pattern matching to unasked but similar, well-known questions. Can you give an example of a bad output, and show what the attribution tells us?

You got it exactly right. Guilty as charged. Over the coming weeks, we will be showcasing exactly how you can debug all of these examples.

I agree that attribution is most useful for debugging and auditing. This is a prime usecase for us. We have a post with exciting results lined up to do this. Should be out in a week, we wanted to even just get the initial model out :)

What I am reading here is that when the model is wrong, it still (at least sometimes) confidently attributes the answer to some knwoledge base, is that correct? If that is the case, how is this different to simply predicting the vibe of a given corpus and assinging provenance to it? Much less impressive imo and something most models can do without explicit training. All precision no recall as it were.

I think this was answered before, with the constraints of the architecture of the model. You can't expect something fundamentally different from an LLM, because that's how they work. It's different from other models because they were not designed for this. Maybe you were expecting more, but that's not OP's fault or demerit.

What you're saying fits my understanding/expectations. However the post and the user I am replying to seem to imply different. This makes me wonder, is my understanding incomplete or is this post marketing hype dressed up as insight? So I am asking for transparency.

[adebayoj]

It is not hype. You can try the model on huggingface yourself to see its capabilities. My reply here was clarifying that the examples we showed were ones where the model didn't make a mistake. This is intentional, because over the next few weeks, we will show how the concepts, and attribution we enable can allow you to fix this mistakes more easily. All the claims in the post are supported by evidence, no marketing here.

We are probably at the point where hype and insight aren't that much distinguishable other than what would bear fruit in the future, but I agree with you
