As Shumer told VentureBeat over DM: “I’ve been thinking about this idea for months now. LLMs hallucinate, but they can’t course-correct. What would happen if you taught an LLM how to recognize and fix its own mistakes?”

Hence the name, “Reflection” — a model that can reflect on its generated text and assess its accuracy before delivering it as outputs to the user.

The model’s advantage lies in a technique called reflection tuning, which allows it to detect errors in its own reasoning and correct them before finalizing a response.
