What Hacker News says
2 sourcesShow HN: Factuality: An LLM based fact checker for any text
Have you ever wanted to fact check your favorite new twitter rant or wanted to show a colleague that you are right after all about that feature in a PR comment.
This is made for you! Based on the idea from the goolge paper "long-form-factuality" i have built this tool to basically fact check any text.
Some features are:
- LLM based claim extraction, fact checking and conclusion
- CLI and Library support for Python
- json, markdown and console output
- allow/blocklists for specific websites so you can tune it to have more research focus or work without specific news sites
- reference extraction of the original statement
- check claims with multiple citations instead of only one
- use bing or google for searching results
Hope you find it interesting and would love to get a star if you find it valuable.
