Unverified50% confidenceOpinionExact time
Medical fine-tuning changes the model's style of expressing itself, not its metacognition; after fine-tuning the model is less overconfident, but the internal gauge for distinguishing what it knows from what it does not has not become more accurate.

UnverifiedThe study shows that medical fine-tuning reduces models' overconfidence, but at the cost of lower accuracy, and it does not improve the ability of confidence to distinguish correct from incorrect answers.78% similarUnverifiedHallucination rates vary significantly across different models in different domains; a model that is reliable on medical questions may frequently err on legal details.76% similarUnverifiedThe confidence score distribution of a healthy classification model typically exhibits a bimodal shape with high values at both ends and low in the middle; when the model degrades, it converges toward the middle into a flat shape, and this shape change is earlier and more sensitive than mean drift75% similarUnverifiedThere is no stable mapping between a model's self-evaluation score and its actual accuracy; rephrase the same prompt and the score may drift substantially.75% similarUnverifiedOn the strongest models, the differences between experimental groups fall within confidence intervals, and researchers characterized the results as directional patterns and soundness properties rather than proven performance lower bounds70% similar
