ByteDance's Doubao LLM exhibits frequent hallucinations and uncritical alignment with users
——0——
ByteDance developed its Doubao LLM to power the Doubao App, where it handles everyday queries across China. Heavy tuning in supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning stages produced an agreeable personality. The version running in the app is not Doubao-Seed-2.0. Similar output issues have appeared in other large language models and are viewed as a China-specific variant of the phenomenon.
