4 Million Downloads and Counting — HHEM Just Keeps Climbing The Hughes Hallucination Evaluation Model (HHEM) has officially surpassed 4 MILLION downloads on Hugging Face. This momentum reflects a clear shift: the AI community is demanding systems that are not only powerful—but grounded in truth. So what’s next? We’re building on HHEM’s impact with two powerful new tools: Vectara Hallucination Corrector (VHC) helps you go from detection to correction—a critical next step in the fight against AI hallucinations. Open RAG Eval (ORE) expands the scope of evaluation across the full RAG pipeline: retrieval, generation, citation, and hallucination.

Vectara is The Trusted GenAI Platform for All Builders - Retrieval Augmented Generation-as-a-Service (RAGaaS).
About us
Vectara developed an integrated AI Assistant/Agent solution which focuses on enterprise readiness, especially when it comes to: Accuracy (eliminating "Hallucinations"), explainability of results/actions, and secure access control. More technically, under the hood Vectara provides a serverless end-to-end Retrieval-Augmented-Generation (RAG for short) platform which combines multi-lingual hybrid (semantic+lexical) information retrieval with AI-generated responses/actions while giving developers the optionality to optimize its behavior vs messing around with its guts (analogous to giving a database a hint to change join strategy versus changing the join algorithm manually). Enterprise customers and technology partners embed Vectara's GenAI platform in their own applications through easy plug-n-play API integrations vs re-inventing the wheel by building their own do-it-yourself solutions (which are hard to maintain overtime as the models underneath keep evolving rapidly). To top it off, there is a strong focus on solution testability, scalability, reliability, availability, resilience to prompt attacks, copyright protection, and bias mitigation, ensuring that applications built on top of Vectara are trustworthy for the enterprise.

Over the weekend, our co-founder & CEO, Amr Awadallah, joined TuringPost founder Ksenia Se, for a fun and spirited conversation between deep thinkers. Tune in to “Beyond the Hype: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong About RAG” to find out: Is #RAG dead (or is that a clickbait question)? Who invented RAG in the first place? Will new AI architectures hallucinate less? How did Isaac Asimov’s Foundation novels inspire Amr’s career? Thanks to Ksenia and the TuringPost for a compelling and thought provoking discussion!

💡Beyond the Hype: Tackling AI Hallucinations Head-On! 💡 Ever wonder why AI sometimes makes things up? 🤔 Our CEO & Co-founder, Amr Awadallah, weighs in on the persistent challenge of "hallucinations" in large language models in this insightful article by Melissa Heikkilä. He shares why these fabricated responses are a tough nut to crack (and why eliminating them entirely might be impossible!): "Hallucinations are a very hard problem to fix because of the probabilistic nature of how these models work. You will never get them to not hallucinate.” Discover why even tech giants are stepping up efforts to reduce these errors and what it means for the future of reliable AI.
