This startup is trying to get them out.","summary":"Large language models (AI systems trained on text to generate human-like responses) tend to give repetitive, predictable answers to open-ended questions, all converging on similar responses rather than showing creativity. A startup called Springboards built an LLM called Flint that was trained to produce a wider variety of responses to these types of questions, demonstrating that models can be made less predictable and more diverse in their outputs.","solution":"The startup Springboards has built an LLM called Flint, which has been trained to come up with a wider variety of responses than mainstream LLMs to open-ended questions. According to the source, Flint demonstrates greater diversity in outputs compared to models like ChatGPT and Claude.","labels":["industry","research"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/07/01/1140003/llms-are-stuck-in-a-groupthink-rut-this-startup-is-trying-to-get-them-out/","publishedAt":"2026-07-01T14:35:16.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["OpenAI","Anthropic","Google"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["OpenAI","ChatGPT","Anthropic","Claude","Google","Gemini","Springboards","Flint"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-07-01T14:35:16.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":null,"aiComponentTargeted":"model","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
