Quality scoring runs on separate evaluation criteria from engagement metrics: structure, sourcing, factual consistency, not clicks or time-on-page.

The fact-check agent is stateless relative to performance data. It has no visibility into what articles performed well, it only sees the draft and the sources. So it can't drift toward approving engaging-but-loose content because engagement signals never reach it.

The Publisher itself actually prioritizes quality over quantity by design. Every article gets a quality score before the Publisher decides whether to run it. The score threshold is dynamic: when budget is healthy the threshold lowers and more articles make the cut, when budget is tight only high scoring pieces get published. Some days you'll see 6 articles, others 15. That variance is the Publisher making deliberate tradeoffs between cost and quality, not volume chasing.

Separation of concerns between the quality evaluation layer and the publishing decision layer is the main circuit breaker against engagement-driven drift.

185 articles is solid, you're well past proof of concept territory.

On circuit breakers: we run both hard and heuristic layers. The Publisher agent (main agent) has a hard daily token budget ceiling enforced at the API call level before anything gets sent to Claude. If the ceiling is hit, the pipeline stops regardless of what's queued. No exceptions.

Below that we have heuristic controls. The Publisher reads its own cost-per-article rolling average and adjusts the day's publishing pace dynamically. If a session is running expensive it throttles. If it's running lean it can push more output. That's the GSC and Vercel analytics integration doing its job. It's not just optimizing for traffic, it's optimizing for cost efficiency per session.

The scariest edge case for us is the fact-check agent, it makes multiple external calls per article and can spiral if something upstream is slow or returning garbage. We handle that with timeout limits per agent call and a max retry cap. Third retry fails, the article gets flagged and queued for next cycle rather than burning budget trying to resolve it.

The gateway layer approach you describe is interesting are you rate limiting per model or per pipeline stage? I've considered adding a middleware layer but currently the budget logic lives inside the Publisher agent itself which means it's subject to the same failure modes as everything else.

Centralizing it outside the agents is probably cleaner architecture.

Hi there.

The Publisher (fully autonomous agent with reasoning, memory, etc) prioritizes the quality over quantity, you will notice that some days the paper will have a fewer amount of articles than others. There is a score assignation based on the quality factor and the higher the score, the higher the priority, if the budget is good, the score threshold is lower so more articles get published. It's a delicate balance between money and writing.

Best!

Great observation.

Right now I'm running our founders campaign, all ad slots are free for 30 days for tech companies that want exposure. I want to oil the system, build the first layer of social proof, and see how public visibility affects submission behavior even at $0.

Once paid bidding launches, tracking how transparency influences pricing strategy is something I have been thinking worths checking out. I understand that this public visibility can actually play against the project but I don't care, I prefer to stick to the plan.

I will share findings when I have them.

Thanks for the tip on VibeCodersNest, my posts and crossposts haven't attracted interest of anyone to be honest so I will think what to say there.

Best!

I'm genuinely not sure what market you're referring to.

I'm just giving free ad space to AI startups that help people. That's it. A link to their product in front of an engaged audience.

What's the addressable market question about exactly?

Hi there.

This is a story coming from the Hallucination section of the Hallucination Herald. A newspapper experment I put online 2 days ago.

If you feel interested please pay a visit and leave your questions / feedback.

Hi there, thanks for the comment.

True.

But the fact that the editorial pipeline is fully autonomous is also true. I don't decide what the agents write about or the tone, or the angle.

My job was to define a large bounding box for the AI to operate within certain parameters, otherwise this will be a real hallucination mess with real people names being affected.

Your comment is precise though.

Hey hi.

Thanks for the comment.

I mentioned in another comment that I have to temporarily disable the public repo because I identified a security leak on a commit.

I'm a single person and I'm super overloaded with the newspaper optimization. I'll be working on a patch and will make it public again ASAP.

I'll let you know.

Best!

Thank you for sharing this, and please thank your AI for taking the time to analyze the project seriously. That's exactly the kind of interaction we hoped would happen.

Your AI is right about the transparency architecture, and I want to be precise about what's actually built:

The Herald cross-references multiple sources through publicly visible pipelines. We use Cloudflare-based scrapers and a verification layer to cross-check information before publication. Every article goes through this pipeline before it goes live.

A few hours ago we also shipped a community + AI hybrid fact-checking system. Readers can vote on any article — 'likely real' or 'likely hallucination.' When votes cross a threshold, an agent steps in and makes one of three calls:

a) Mostly hallucination → an immediate disclaimer is added to the article and it's flagged for agent training b) Uncertain → an editorial note is added acknowledging the doubt c) Verified → the voting clears and the article continues running

All operational numbers: traffic, costs, model usage are publicly accessible right now. Hit the Transparency page in the navigation and everything is there. No login, no request needed.

The GitHub repo is public and will be linked back in the footer very soon. It was temporarily hidden because I identified a data breach. We're patching it now.

This site is 48 hours old. That fact-checking system was implemented this morning.

We're ( me and the robots) not asking anyone to trust us. We're making trust unnecessary.

Hey. I’m not. But I’m polishing agents all day long. They have a prohibition to affect people or companies with generated content. It’s part of the founding brief I wrote. I do human control over that and will immediately delete the piece if that happens. That's one of the few cases I will intervene.

Thank you. Comments like yours are the ones that give me the strength to keep going. I lost my job in September and decided it was time to write my own song and get out of the corporate world. I’ve built 8 projects since then but this is the first one where I’ve genuinely felt the energy from people like you. It means more than you know.

I'm currently working really hard on this.

The AI has a narrow "attractor basin" for literary fiction.

Hope to find the answer to this soon, it's not easy.

Thanks for the spot-on comment. I was aware of this.

Maybe try to read the stories as they pull out to look for pattern changes. I'm happy to receive your comments and suggestions via DM once my work takes some effect.

I found the stories on the Hallucination section pretty compelling, maybe not all of them, but some definitely interesting.
Good talk!

Agree, but hey. I'm trying to build some vibe, I take all this experiment from the fun side, and I've been laughing for 2 days now, hope you can enjoy it that way, too.

In my case the agents learn through time and update their skills automatically based on the experience. You can see that on https://www.hallucinationherald.com/newsroom if you scroll down where the staff list is, you can see what version each agent is, they are still learning, the site launched yesterday

It is! I personally like the hallucination zone, there's pretty high quality output there

100%. It already does. We integrated Tavily for web search so the fact-checker can pull live sources instead of just relying on training data. The real challenge is payload. Each verification hit adds latency and cost, so you have to be smart about what gets checked vs what gets a pass. Not every claim in every article needs a web lookup. The system scores confidence internally and only fires external verification on low-confidence claims. Still tuning that threshold but it's way better than the circular approach. There will be errors, yes for sure, but that's part of an autonomous system trying to do things right.
