Informal waste disposal is a quiet system that’s thriving—with 20 million people moving junk across the world with no apps, no tokens, and no visibility. It’s decentralized. It’s reputation-based. It works. But it can’t grow without proof. Blockchain promised to serve the unbanked, the undocumented, the forgotten. Instead, it mostly built synthetic markets no one needed. This is a blueprint for something real: not...

This section delves into the impact of model scaling on long-form factuality, highlighting the improvement of factual precision and recall. We also explore how RLHF enhances factuality and compare model performance across various K values. Additionally, we discuss issues like incorrect human annotations in the factual evaluation process and provide full benchmarking results across thirteen language models.

One of the most significant advantages of RWA tokenization is its ability to improve liquidity.

F1@K is a metric used to evaluate the factual accuracy of model responses, focusing on precision and recall of supported facts. The choice of K, the number of facts needed for full recall, influences how responses are rated, with higher K values encouraging models to pack responses with supported facts. The metric accounts for precision-recall trade-offs, showing that shorter responses tend to have higher...

SAFE (Search-Augmented Fact Evaluation) uses a language model to assess the factual accuracy of long-form responses. It splits responses into individual facts, revises them for clarity, and verifies their accuracy using Google Search. The process involves multiple steps like determining relevance, issuing search queries, and rating facts as supported or not. Challenges include bias from the language model and varying generalization across topics, which...
