The Challenges of LLM Behavior

• Unpredictability
  LLMs operate as statistical engines, generating outputs based on patterns learned from massive datasets. While this can produce impressive results, it also leads to unpredictable behavior, such as irrelevant or nonsensical responses to queries. Small changes in phrasing can yield dramatically different outputs, making it hard to ensure consistency.
• Bias and Hallucinations
  Because LLMs are trained on large, uncurated datasets, they often inherit biases or generate “hallucinations”—factually incorrect outputs presented with undue confidence. These issues can undermine trust and limit the utility of LLMs in critical domains like healthcare or finance.
• Lack of Contextual Integration
  LLMs struggle to incorporate external data sources in real time, often relying solely on pre-trained knowledge. This limitation makes them less adaptable to new information or dynamic environments where context is constantly evolving.
• Opaque Reasoning
  As black-box systems, LLMs offer little insight into how they generate their outputs. This lack of explainability makes it difficult to audit their behavior, correct errors, or establish accountability.

How Buffaly Provides Clarity

• Structured Ontologies for Reasoning
  ‍Buffaly’s ontologies represent knowledge as a network of concepts, relationships, and rules. This structure allows the system to reason explicitly and logically, ensuring that outputs align with predefined constraints and objectives.
• Control Through ProtoScript
  With ProtoScript, Buffaly separates LLM interpretation from execution. Developers can define rules, constraints, and logic directly in the ontology, ensuring that the system’s outputs are predictable and aligned with the desired goals.
• External Data Integration
  ‍Buffaly seamlessly integrates real-time data from external sources, grounding LLM outputs in current and relevant information. This capability reduces reliance on pre-trained knowledge and improves adaptability to changing contexts.

The Buffaly Advantage

• Reliability: Outputs are guided by structured reasoning, reducing the risk of hallucinations or errors.
• Safety: Ontology-based rules ensure that AI systems operate within clearly defined boundaries.
• Explainability: Transparent logic allows for better auditing and accountability.
• Adaptability: Real-time integration with external data sources enhances relevance and context-awareness.
