🛡️ HallucinationGuard-Env v4.2

The production-grade OpenEnv RL environment for training and evaluating LLMs on hallucination avoidance.

---

💡 The Inspiration

During research for a Hackathon, an AI model confidently hallucinated a "golden ticket backdoor" — claiming that Ideathon winners could skip directly to the Grand Finale. This information existed nowhere in the official sources. The AI stated it with high confidence and even fabricated a supporting quote.

That moment made one thing clear: hallucination isn't just an academic problem. It causes real confusion in high-stakes situations.

HallucinationGuard-Env was built to fix that — training AI models to say "I don't know" when they don't, cite real sources when they do, and never fabricate with confidence.

---

🚀 Quick Start

Python SDK

pip install openenv-halluguard

from hallucination_guard_env import HallucinationEnv

# Define your model
def my_model(question, context):
    # Call your LLM here — answer from context only
    return "your answer based on context"

# Evaluate in 5 lines
env = HallucinationEnv()
obs = env.reset()
action = my_model(obs.question, obs.context)
result = env.step(answer=action, confidence=0.8)
print(f"Reward: {result.reward}, Hallucinated: {result.is_hallucination}")

Raw HTTP

import requests

BASE = "https://samsankar-hallucination-guard-env.hf.space"

# 1. Start episode
obs = requests.post(f"{BASE}/reset").json()
print(obs["question"], obs["context"])

# 2. Answer from context only
result = requests.post(f"{BASE}/step", json={"answer": "your answer"}).json()
print(f"Reward: {result['reward']}, Hallucinated: {result['is_hallucination']}")

# 3. View leaderboard
print(requests.get(f"{BASE}/leaderboard").json())

🎮 How The Environment Works

The agent receives a question and a source document. It must answer using only what the document says, provide a direct quote supporting its answer, and state how confident it is.

Action Space

Every POST /step call accepts this JSON body (only answer is required):

{
    "answer":           "string — derived ONLY from the provided context",
    "confidence":       0.5,     // float 0.0–1.0, calibrated estimate
    "source_quote":     "string — verbatim phrase from context supporting the answer",
    "reasoning":        "string — optional chain-of-thought",
    "uncertainty_flags": []      // list of aspects the agent is unsure about
}

Observation Space

@dataclass
class HallucinationObservation:
    question: str                  # The question to answer
    context: str                   # Source document to answer from
    reward: float                  # Step reward (-1.0 to 1.0)
    feedback: str                  # Detailed human-readable feedback
    is_hallucination: bool         # Was hallucination detected?
    hallucination_type: str        # Type of hallucination detected
    hallucination_severity: str    # NONE / MINOR / MODERATE / SEVERE / CRITICAL
    grounding_score: float         # How well answer is grounded in context
    accuracy_so_far: float         # Running accuracy this episode
    skill_rating: float            # ELO-style skill rating
    attempts_remaining: int        # Steps left in episode
    done: bool                     # Episode complete?

Episode Flow

reset()
  → Sample question + context from dataset (curriculum-aware)

📦 Batch Evaluation

For high-throughput model benchmarking, use the batch endpoints:

POST /batch/evaluate

Evaluate multiple question-answer pairs in one request:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "question": "What is the capital of France?",
      "context": "The capital of France is Paris.",
      "answer": "Paris",
      "confidence": 0.9,
      "source_quote": "capital of France is Paris",
      "ground_truth": "Paris"
    }
  ],
  "task_id": "task_1_factual_grounding"
}

Response:

{
  "total_items": 1,
  "results": [
    {
      "index": 0,
      "reward": 0.85,
      "is_hallucination": false,
      "correctness": 1.0,
      "explanation": "Answer is correct and well-grounded."
    }
  ],
  "summary": {
    "avg_reward": 0.85,
    "hallucination_rate": 0.0,
    "score_distribution": {"high": 1, "medium": 0, "low": 0}
  }
}

POST /batch/stream

For large batches (100+ items), stream results as NDJSON:

import requests
import json

response = requests.post(f"{BASE}/batch/stream", json={
    "items": [...],  # 100+ items
    "task_id": "task_1_factual_grounding"
}, stream=True)

for line in response.iter_lines():
    result = json.loads(line)
    print(f"Item {result['index']}: {result['reward']}")

🔬 Hallucination Detection

8 Types Classified

Type	What It Catches
FABRICATED_FACT	Information stated that is not in the source
FALSE_CITATION	source_quote that does not exist in the document
OVERCONFIDENT_WRONG	High confidence on an incorrect answer
CONTEXT_DRIFT	Answer gradually drifts away from source
NUMERICAL_FABRICATION	Made-up statistics or numbers
ENTITY_CONFUSION	Wrong names, organisations, or places
TEMPORAL_ERROR	Incorrect dates or timelines
RELATIONSHIP_ERROR	Incorrect relationships between entities

"I Don't Know" Refusal Handling

The grader now detects when a model appropriately refuses to answer unanswerable questions:

Scenario	Reward	Behavior
Proper refusal on unanswerable	0.65–0.80	Rewarded for honesty
Refusal with low confidence	0.50	Partial credit
Underconfident refusal (answer exists)	0.30	Penalized for not trying

Detected refusal phrases: "I cannot answer", "not in the context", "I don't know", "cannot determine", "insufficient information", etc.

Hallucination Explanations

When hallucination is detected, the grader returns a human-readable explanation:

{
  "hallucination_explanation": "Entity hallucination (80%): Answer contains names/entities not in source | Overconfidence (40%): Confidence exceeds answer quality"
}

Components explained:

• Entity hallucination — Fabricated names/entities detected
• Numerical fabrication — Made-up numbers
• Low word coverage — Percentage of answer words not in context
• Ground truth mismatch — Answer differs from correct answer
• Overconfidence — Confidence level exceeds answer quality

5 Severity Levels

Level	Score	Meaning
NONE	0.0	Fully grounded answer
MINOR	0.1–0.3	Slight deviation from source
MODERATE	0.3–0.5	Noticeable unsupported claims
SEVERE	0.5–0.7	Significantly fabricated content
CRITICAL	0.7+	Answer largely invented

🌐 Deployment (HuggingFace Spaces)

Startup Optimization

The environment uses a two-phase loading strategy:

1. Core datasets (~50K examples) load synchronously at startup
2. Extended datasets (~1M examples) load in background after server is healthy

This ensures fast cold starts while maintaining full dataset availability.

Configuration

# Dockerfile optimized for HF Spaces
FROM python:3.10-slim

# Pre-download ML models during build (saves ~2min startup)
RUN python -c "from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer; SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')"
RUN python -c "from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder; CrossEncoder('cross-encoder/nli-deberta-v3-base')"

# Health check with 5-minute start-period for cold boot
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=15s --start-period=300s --retries=10 \
    CMD curl -f http://localhost:7860/health || exit 1

📋 Baseline Scores

Heuristic Baseline (no LLM required)

The heuristic baseline is a deterministic agent that establishes a performance floor. It demonstrates what happens when an agent completely ignores the question and simply returns the first sentence of the context.

How It Works

def heuristic_agent(question: str, context: str) -> dict:
    # 1. Extract first sentence from context (ignoring the question entirely)
    sentences = [s.strip() for s in context.split(".") if len(s.strip()) > 10]
    answer = sentences[0] if sentences else context[:120]

    # 2. Use fixed confidence (not calibrated)
    confidence = 0.6

    # 3. Return first 80 chars as "source quote" (often irrelevant)
    source_quote = context[:80]

    return {"answer": answer, "confidence": confidence, "source_quote": source_quote}

Why this baseline? It represents the absolute minimum viable agent — one that processes context but doesn't understand questions. Any real LLM should beat this by reading the question and finding relevant context.

Testing Methodology

We ran the heuristic baseline 5 times on a local server (reproducible conditions) with seeds 42-46:

# Run locally for reproducible results
uvicorn server.app:app --port 7860
python inference.py --heuristic --env-url http://localhost:7860 --episodes 3 --steps 5 --seed 42

Results (5 Runs, Seeds 42-46)

Seed	Task 1	Task 2	Task 3	Overall	Time
42	0.151	0.076	0.037	0.088	56s
43	0.194	0.105	0.125	0.141	52s
44	0.181	0.074	0.112	0.122	48s
45	0.221	0.062	0.142	0.142	51s
46	0.129	0.002	0.037	0.056	44s
Mean	0.175	0.064	0.090	0.110	50s
Std Dev	±0.034	±0.038	±0.046	±0.036	±4s

Aggregated Baseline Score

Task	Mean Score	Std Dev	95% CI
task_1_factual_grounding	0.175	±0.034	[0.14, 0.21]
task_2_multi_hop_synthesis	0.064	±0.038	[0.03, 0.10]
task_3_adversarial_resistance	0.090	±0.046	[0.05, 0.13]
Overall	0.110	±0.036	[0.07, 0.15]

Note on Variance: The high variance (±33% relative std dev) is expected because:

1. The heuristic ignores questions — it lucks into correct answers when the first sentence happens to be relevant
2. Different seeds sample different question/context pairs from 38 datasets
3. Task 2 has the lowest scores because multi-hop reasoning requires understanding questions

LLM Baseline (requires API key)

Real LLMs understand questions and find relevant context. Here's how to run them:

# Set required environment variables
export API_BASE_URL=https://api.groq.com/openai/v1
export MODEL_NAME=qwen/qwen3-32b
export HF_TOKEN=gsk_your_key_here

# Run inference
python inference.py --env-url http://localhost:7860 --episodes 3 --steps 5 --seed 42

Tested LLM Results

We tested multiple LLMs on this benchmark. All tests used: 3 episodes × 5 steps, seed=42, local server.

🏆 Why This Environment Stands Out

Real-world origin	Born from an actual AI hallucination experience during hackathon research
Solves the #1 LLM problem	Hallucination is the most critical reliability issue in production AI
Novel	First OpenEnv environment targeting hallucination and grounding
Research-grade grader	ROUGE + BERTScore + AlignScore + nli-deberta-v3-base — publication quality
1M+ diverse examples	38 real-world datasets: SQuAD, HaluEval, TruthfulQA, HotpotQA, MedQA and more
Model-agnostic	Works with GPT-4, Claude, Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Phi, or any LLM
PyPI package	pip install openenv-halluguard for instant SDK access
Production-ready	Session management, leaderboard, persistent cache, Dockerfile
Adaptive	ELO-based curriculum scales difficulty with the agent's skill

• Added Streaming batch endpoint (POST /batch/stream) — NDJSON streaming for large batches
• Added Time-per-step metrics (GET /metrics/timing) — latency percentiles by difficulty
• Added Leaderboard visualization (GET /leaderboard/viz) — bar chart, scatter plot, performance tiers
• Added "I don't know" refusal handling — rewards proper refusals on unanswerable questions
• Added Hallucination explanations — human-readable explanations in grader output
• Added 18 adversarial test cases — HaluEval, TruthfulQA, edge cases
• Added 15 endpoint integration tests — batch, metrics, leaderboard
• Added GitHub Actions CI — automated testing on push/PR
• Fixed All test suite — 80 tests passing (was broken)

v4.1.0 (2026-03)

• Fixed HF Spaces restart loop — optimized startup with lazy dataset loading
• Fixed Missing _torch_available() function in grader
• Fixed Reproducibility — seed now properly resets dataset sampling for consistent results
• Reduced core datasets from 15 to 5 for faster cold starts
• Increased healthcheck start-period to 300s for dataset downloads
• Added stderr logging for progress visibility in HF Space logs
• Added GET /tasks — lists all 3 tasks + action schema (OpenEnv required)
• Added POST /grader — per-episode task scoring 0.0–1.0 (OpenEnv required)
• Added POST /baseline — built-in heuristic baseline runner (OpenEnv required)
