# Resect AI Launches Hallucination Detection for LLMs

> Resect AI, a Seattle startup, came out of stealth this week with $25M and an unusual pitch. Instead of catching AI hallucinations after a model has already produced them, it watches and adjusts model behavior mid-generation, in-stream, before a wrong answer ever reaches the user. The company frames this as the difference between fact-checking output and steering the model as it thinks. The target market is regulated industries where a confidently wrong answer carries real cost, including finance, healthcare, publishing, and research. Resect says its technology gives teams visibility into how and why a model fails, and it plans both an open-source offering and a paid enterprise product. The bet reflects a broader shift in the AI stack. As companies push language models into workflows that demand accuracy, reliability tooling is becoming its own category, sitting between raw models and the applications built on top of them. Whether in-stream intervention proves better than after-the-fact verification is still an open question, but the funding shows investors see hallucination control as infrastructure worth owning.
