Report #74589

[research] Starting with factual information but gradually drifting into hallucination as the generation length increases

Break long generation tasks into smaller, self-contained atomic facts. For each chunk, re-inject the core factual constraints or retrieved context, and verify atomic claims independently.

Journey Context:
Autoregressive models suffer from recency bias and error accumulation. A small factual error early on shifts the latent space, making subsequent errors more likely. Chunking with context re-injection and atomic verification resets the factual anchor and prevents drift.
