Polimill

Polimill builds Japan's next-generation public AI infrastructure

Open the evidence here Share

What happened

Polimill uses OpenAI GPT models and Codex to help municipalities search and use administrative knowledge while accelerating development.

Why it matters

This signals growing adoption of generative AI in government services, particularly in Japan. It may encourage other public-sector technology providers to adopt similar AI capabilities.

What to watch next

Potential expansion to more municipalities and deeper integration with public administrative databases. Watch for announcements of new partnerships or feature rollouts.

MIOH

Fine-Grained Multi Image Object Hallucination Benchmark

Open the evidence here Share

What happened

A benchmark called MIOH is introduced to systematically evaluate object hallucination in multimodal large language models across four tasks (existence, counting, attribute, position) and three multi-image reasoning patterns (comprehensive, comparative, selective) under three adversarial pressures (visual context scale, perceptual difficulty, contextual bias). Evaluation of 29 models reveals that even state-of-the-ar…

Why it matters

The finding that leading models such as GPT-5 and Gemini-2.5-Pro still exhibit object hallucination in multi-image settings indicates a persistent reliability gap for enterprise and consumer applications requiring cross-image reasoning, such as document analysis, surveillance, and visual question a…

What to watch next

Observable next signals include whether model developers release updates targeting multi-image hallucination, whether MIOH is adopted as a standard evaluation in model cards, and whether downstream applications implement mitigation strategies such as retrieval-augmented verifica…
