The structural root of the LLM calibration problem is that the pretraining objective is to minimize the cross-entropy of the next word rather than to output trustworthy probability estimates, and RLHF alignment further amplifies the tendency to express things as if certain.

VerifiedThe objective function for pre-training is typically the cross-entropy loss in causal language modeling, i.e., maximizing the probability of correctly predicting the next token given all preceding tokens.79% similarUnverifiedLLMs are accelerators of software entropy, because they have no cognitive constraint on complexity and choose the shortest statistical path that satisfies the local prompt, often introducing tight coupling or arbitrary conditional branches.76% similarVerifiedDuring training, LLMs optimize parameters by maximizing the prediction probability of the next token, meaning the model learns the statistical distribution of the training corpus rather than human aesthetic judgment.76% similarUnverifiedLLM 的生成机制本质上是在训练分布的邻域内进行插值和外推，这使其极难产生真正跳出已知框架的数学洞察74% similar
