+### Addressing Confident Errors and Hallucinations
+
+A primary motivation for Prisma-VL-8B is to address the well-known failure mode of large language models being confidently wrong. Traditional autoregressive models do not internally represent uncertainty in a way that influences subsequent predictions, allowing errors to propagate with unchanged confidence.
+
+Prisma-VL-8B introduces an explicit, learned uncertainty feedback signal that conditions future predictions on the model’s own predictive confidence. By making uncertainty a first-class internal state rather than an external diagnostic, the model can learn uncertainty-aware behaviors such as hedging, self-correction, or reduced commitment when operating outside familiar or well-supported regions of the data distribution.
