Abstract: A first large language model (LLM) instance may be instructed to request data while being prevented from performing calculations using the data. A second LLM instance may be instructed to provide a response to the request for data based on a known complete data set. The response may be translated into a machine-readable response in a format configured for processing by a calculation engine. The calculation engine may process the machine-readable response, thereby generating a calculation engine output. A mismatch between the calculation engine output and a known result obtained using the known complete data set may be identified, and the instruction to the first LLM may be modified in response.

Abstract: At least one large language model (LLM) may be instructed to request data from a user while being prevented from performing calculations using the data.
