The Hallucination Snowball
Modeling Error Propagation as State Transitions in Multi-Agent LLM Pipelines: Sequential multi-agent LLM pipelines chain specialized agents without verification at handoffs, creating a structural flaw with measurable and severe consequences. We show that hallucinations injected at Stage 1 do not merely persist; they transform: raw numerical facts become derived computations, then narrative prose, then editorially approved conclusio...
