EP311: Why AI Teams Hallucinate Together

Title: Hallucination as Context Drift: Synchronization Protocols for Multi-Agent LLM Systems Source: http://arxiv.org/abs/2606.21666v1 Summary: This paper establishes a novel distributed systems framework for multi-agent LLMs by modeling hallucination as a consequence of context drift between independent agents. It introduces the Shared State Verification Protocol (SSVP) and Context Divergence Score (CDS) as new primitives to synchronize agent states efficiently and reduce collaborative reasoning errors.
