Large language model output quality guarantee method, device and system based on chain deterministic reasoning verification

Abstract

The invention discloses a large language model output quality guarantee method, device and system based on chain type deterministic reasoning verification, and belongs to the field of artificial intelligence safety, deterministic calculation and reasoning verification. The method comprises the following steps: classifying each reasoning step generated by LLM into a deterministic step (bT: deductive reasoning, verified facts and mathematical proof) or a non-deterministic step (bF: inductive reasoning, unverified references and creative guess), and accumulatively constructing a reasoning chain; chain certainty verification chain (chain) = foldr (AND, true, chain) and time complexity O (n) are carried out in each k steps; if the bF is returned, a chain pollution elimination theorem is applied to prove that once the chain contains non-deterministic steps, the whole chain loses deterministic guarantee; and a deterministic boundary report is generated, and a non-deterministic initial position is marked. The device comprises an inference classifier, a reference verifier, a mathematical checker and a chain verification engine, and all the modules can be independently realized (formalized verification / database query / rule engine / mixed mode).

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of artificial intelligence security, deterministic computation, and reasoning verification, and particularly to a method, apparatus, and system for ensuring the output quality of large language models based on chain-based deterministic reasoning verification. Background Technology

[0002] (I) The Deterministic Problem of Large Language Model Reasoning

[0003] 1. Deterministic classification of reasoning types

[0004] Modern LLMs (GPT-5Pro, Opus 4.1, Gemini 3.0, etc.) use hybrid inference strategies, and there are significant differences in the deterministic levels, examples, and verification methods for different inference types:

[0005] Deductive reasoning: 100% certainty, example: "a = b, b = c → a = c", verified through formal logic.

[0006] Verified fact: 100% certainty, example: "Article 17 of the Warsaw Convention stipulates...", verified through database query.

[0007] Mathematical calculation: 100% certainty, example "√2≈1.414213…", verified by symbolic calculation.

[0008] Inductive reasoning: Certainty < 100%, example is "sample shows trend → general law", no complete guarantee (black swan events exist).

[0009] Abductive reasoning: Certainty < 100%, example is "symptoms → possible diagnosis", requires multiple hypotheses to compete for verification.

[0010] Creative reasoning: Certainty <100%, examples are novel analogies and hypothesis generation, no unified verification standard.

[0011] Illusion: 0% certainty, examples include fictitious references and false facts, which can be disproven through database verification.

[0012] The key problem is that LLM outputs mix all types of inference and are unlabeled, making it impossible for users to distinguish between "proven theorems" (100% certainty) and "possible hypotheses" (<100% certainty), while high-risk applications such as medicine, law, and finance urgently need explicit certainty guarantees.

[0013] 2. Real-world case study: Problems arising from deterministic mixing

[0014] Case 1: Legal Citation Risks of GPT-5Pro: The output mixes real legal provisions, well-known precedents and the fictional case "TechCorp v. InnovaSys (2023)". Subsequent reasoning relies on this fictional case, which may lead to lawyers facing court sanctions for citing false precedents, resulting in losses for clients and damage to the reputation of law firms. Similar cases have resulted in losses ranging from $500,000 to $5 million.

[0015] Case 2: Claude Opus 4.1 Risks of Medical Reasoning: Based on the fictitious study "Zhang et al. 2024, Lancet", he made recommendations for anti-tuberculosis treatment and recommended medication without completing the differential diagnosis. This may lead to misdiagnosis and delay in treatment of diseases such as lymphoma, and may also cause drug side effects and medical malpractice lawsuits of $1 million to $10 million.

[0016] Case 3: Gemini 3.0 code generation risk: It is recommended to use localStorage to store encrypted cryptocurrency wallet private keys, which poses a serious risk of XSS attacks, which may lead to the theft of user private keys, resulting in property losses of $10K-10M and class-action lawsuits.

[0017] 3. Limitations of existing technology

[0018] Method A: Internal inference of GPT-5Pro: Although it assumes that the inference capability is improved by 20% compared to GPT-4 and the accuracy of mathematical / code tasks is improved, there is still no deterministic labeling, and it cannot distinguish between "proven" and "possibly correct". The 100% deterministic guarantee required for high-risk applications cannot be met, and the cost is expected to be 2-5 times that of GPT-4.

[0019] Method B: Claude's Constitutional AI: It can reduce harmful outputs and improve factual accuracy, but it is still a probabilistic model in essence, without deterministic guarantees, and is overly conservative. The frequency of "I am not sure" is too high, and it lacks the clear deterministic boundaries required for medical and legal applications.

[0020] Method C: Self-consistency: By generating 5 results and taking the majority answer, the accuracy can be increased from 65% to 78%, but it has drawbacks such as high cost (5 times the expense), high latency (5 times the time), consistency ≠ correctness (possible systematic bias), and no 100% certainty guarantee.

[0021] Method D: External tool invocation: Tools can be invoked for only 30% of the problems, relying on the reliability of third-party tools, only verifying the results and not the reasoning process, and the cost of tool invocation is $0.01-0.10 / time, with limited coverage and practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0022] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method, apparatus, and system for ensuring the output quality of large language models based on chain-based deterministic reasoning verification, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0023] Technical Solution: To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, more specifically, a method, apparatus, and system for ensuring the output quality of a large language model based on chain-based deterministic reasoning verification, (I) Core Mathematical Principles

[0024] 1. Definition 1: Logic Chain

[0025] LogicChain=[step1,step2,...,step n ], where each step∈{bT,bF}:

[0026] bT = Deterministic step (True, verifiable)

[0027] bF = Nondeterministic step (False, cannot be verified or has been verified as false)

[0028] 2. Definition 2: Chain Validity Determination

[0029] chain_valid(chain)=foldr(AND,true,chain)=step1∧step2∧...∧step n nature:

[0030] If all steps = bT → chain_valid = bT (chain deterministic validity)

[0031] If step = bF → chain_valid = bF (chain is nondeterministic or contaminated), then the chain is either not deterministic or is contaminated.

[0032] Time complexity: O(n), Space complexity: O(1) (tail recursion optimization)

[0033] 3. Theorem 1: Chain Expansion Theorem

[0034] chain_valid(chain1)=bT∧chain_valid(chain2)=bT→chain_valid(extend_chain(chain1,chain2))=bT Proof: Let chain1=[s1,...,s m ], chain2 = [t1,...,t n If chain_valid(chain1) = bT, then If chain_valid(chain2) = bT, then extend_chain(chain1,chain2)=[s1,...,s m ,t1,...,t n ], chain_valid(extend)=s1∧...∧s m ∧t1∧...∧t n =bT∧bT=bT,QED.

[0035] 4. Theorem 2: Chain Contamination Exclusion Theorem (Core)

[0036] Proof: chain_valid(chain1)=bF→chain_valid(extend_chain(chain1,chain2))=bF: Let chain1=[s1,...,s m If chain_valid(chain1) = bF, then extend_chain(chain1,chain2)=[s1,...,s,...,s m ,t1,...,t n ], chain_valid(extend)=s1∧...∧s∧...∧s m ∧t1∧...∧t n =...∧bF∧...=bF (AND operation: if any bF, the result is bF), QED.

[0037] 5. Conclusion: Once polluted, the pollution is permanent.

[0038] If the reasoning chain becomes nondeterministic at step k (step k If (bF) is true, then no matter how many subsequent steps are generated, the entire chain is permanently nondeterministic, and continued generation cannot restore the deterministic guarantee. This corollary provides an "abstention defense" for LLM providers, proving that "stopping immediately is the mathematically optimal decision".

[0093] The beneficial effects of the present invention, which relates to a method, apparatus, and system for ensuring the output quality of large language models based on chain-based deterministic reasoning verification, are as follows:

[0094] (1) This invention achieves an explicit separation between the deterministic and non-deterministic aspects of reasoning, and provides a mathematical level of deterministic guarantee through the chain pollution exclusion theorem, allowing users to clearly distinguish between 100% credible reasoning content and non-deterministic guesses, thus meeting the reliability requirements of high-risk scenarios such as medical, legal, and financial fields.

[0095] It can 100% intercept illusions (fictional references, false facts, etc.) in the output of large language models, with a false alarm rate of less than 5%, effectively avoiding serious consequences such as legal sanctions, medical accidents, and property losses caused by false information.

[0096] The verification process has a time complexity of O(n) and a space complexity of O(1). The detection latency is less than 1 millisecond per step, and inference verification can be completed in real time without affecting the normal output process of the large language model.

[0097] Generation is terminated immediately after nondeterministic step detection, saving 60-95% of token consumption, computing resources and related costs, while reducing unnecessary invalid reasoning output.

[0098] It is compatible with all large language model architectures that support streaming output, without requiring modification to the model's internal structure. It offers flexible implementation methods (verification can be achieved through database queries, symbolic computation, rule engines, and more), and boasts strong compatibility.

[0099] Generates multi-format deterministic reports and optional formal certification certificates, including legal compliance statements, meeting regulatory requirements such as EUAIAct and FDA, providing users with strong legal protection and compliance support.

[0100] It supports adaptive adjustment of verification frequency according to different risk scenarios, balancing performance and reliability, and taking into account both the rigorous verification requirements of high-risk scenarios and the creative needs of low-risk scenarios.

[0101] Modular design allows each functional module to be replaced independently and horizontally expanded, supports SaaS mode and local deployment, adapts to the deployment needs of different users, and has a wide range of application scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0107] To make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0108] (I) Example 1: Mathematical Proof Verification with GPT-5Pro

[0109] Scene

[0121] Configuration

[0122]

[0123] Effect

[0135] Avoid the risk of medical malpractice lawsuits ranging from $1 million to $10 million, and comply with FDA AI / ML medical device guidance requirements.

[0136] (IV) Summary of Technical Effects

[0137] Regarding the hallucination detection rate, without a verification mechanism, hallucinations in the output of a large language model cannot be detected, with a detection rate of 0%. However, this invention can achieve 100% hallucination detection, which is 100% higher than the case without verification. It can completely identify problems such as fictitious content and false references in the output.

[0138] Regarding detection latency, there are no relevant latency indicators without a verification mechanism; the detection latency of this invention is less than 1 millisecond per step, which enables real-time verification and will not cause significant delays in the output process of large language models.

[0139] Regarding the false alarm rate, there is no verification mechanism and no relevant false alarm indicators; the false alarm rate of this invention is less than 5%, which is within the acceptable range in the industry and can effectively avoid the normal output being erroneously intercepted due to misjudgment.

[0140] Regarding resource saving, the absence of a verification mechanism makes it impossible to save resources, resulting in 100% resource consumption. This invention can save 60-95% of resources, including token consumption and computing resources, by terminating nondeterministic reasoning in advance, demonstrating a significant improvement.

[0141] In terms of legal protection, the lack of a verification mechanism cannot provide users with any legal safeguards; this invention, based on formal proof (such as the mathematical verification of the chain contamination exclusion theorem), can provide users with strong legal protection and meet regulatory compliance requirements and legal defense needs.

[0142] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
