Core Innovation

This paper presents DSCC-HS, a novel framework that proactively suppresses hallucinations during autoregressive decoding by using adversarially trained proxy models. It dynamically injects a steering vector derived from factual alignment and hallucination detection proxies without modifying the target LLM, enabling plug-and-play factuality enhancement.

Market Size (TAM)

$10–20B TAM for AI model enhancement platforms; $2–10B SAM from enterprises deploying LLMs in healthcare, finance, and customer service. Driven by demand for trustworthy AI and regulatory compliance.

Potential Customers & Pain Points

  • Enterprises deploying LLMs facing hallucination issues
  • AI developers seeking real-time factuality control
  • Healthcare and biotech firms requiring accurate long-form generation

Business Model

Subscription-based API access with tiered pricing for usage volume and enterprise support

Competitive Landscape

  • OpenAI Guardrails
  • Hugging Face RAG
  • Cohere FactCheck

Implementation Challenges

  • Integration complexity with diverse LLMs
  • Proxy model training overhead
  • Real-time inference latency impact

Validation Strategy

  • Benchmark factual consistency on TruthfulQA and BioGEN datasets
  • Pilot integration with enterprise LLM deployments
  • Measure reduction in hallucination rates and user trust improvements
