Report #95217

[research] Confidently writing code that compiles but implements flawed algorithmic logic

Implement calibrated uncertainty thresholds. If the model's token probability for the core logic drops below a threshold, emit a structured warning \(e.g., 'Low confidence: Verify the concurrency lock logic here'\) rather than a confident explanation.

Journey Context:
Code can be syntactically valid but semantically wrong. LLMs often generate plausible boilerplate for complex algorithms \(like distributed locks or cryptographic operations\) with high confidence. Using token probabilities or self-consistency checks \(generating N samples and checking variance\) can detect when the model is 'guessing' the logic.
