Abstract LLM implementations are failing in highly regulated industries owing to instability issues, inconsistent reasoning, hallucinations and performance variability, especially in workflows. These reliability issues restrict safe use of LLM in areas that need the precision of facts and consistent behavior (Aiyappa et al., 2023). The current methods of stabilization, such as, reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) and supervised fine-tuning, offer quantifiable improvements but are expensive and based on the intensive annotation of humans, thus being not easily scaled in a sustainable way (Dong et al., 2023; Retzlaff et al., 2024). This paper presents an AI-based annotation pipeline that systematically identifies, labels, and fixes for instability patterns on LLM output. Our human-AI synergy method combines the models of automated weak supervision and confidence-based annotation with the target human validation to guarantee the reliability and moral uprightness of feedback information (Cabitza et al., 2023; Jiang et al., 2023). The semantic consistency, factual correctness, and logical coherence categories of stability-specific annotation are introduced into our framework, allowing the continuous calibration of models and the enhancement of their robustness based on the feedback loops (Honovich et al., 2021; Nan et al., 2021). Multi-turn reasoning and factual QA dataset experimental demonstrations achieve high consistency metrics, such as less variance in output responses and factual grounding. These findings show that automated methods of annotation can significantly help to speed up the process of stabilization, and strategic human control can reduce the spread of errors and the strengthening of biases (Brusilovsky, 2024). The contribution to this work is the addition of fresh assessment frameworks on the measurement of stability and the foregrounding of a methodological change of scale towards more reliable and open LLMs. Comprehensively, we have shown that AI-based annotation pipelines provide a viable direction towards operationalizing trust and reliability in the next-generation language models (Vössing et al., 2022).

1.1 Background Large Language Models (LLMs) have quickly become the disruptive technology of the future of artificial intelligence. The ability to produce human-like writing and comprehend sophisticated semantics as well as make multi-step decisions makes them one of the main facilitators in various fields, including healthcare diagnostics, scientific discovery, digital education, and financial planning (Liu et al., 2023; de Zarzà et al., 2024). Supporting themselves on detailed transformer architecture and trained on large scales of multimodal data, these models have exceptional generalization capacity and can thus do things that used to need large amounts of human experience to achieve (Li et al., 2023). With more and more use of LLMs in contexts where the effects of decisions have actual implications, however, the pressure on reliability has increased. It has been proven that LLMs can often be unstable, that is, they can give different answers to the same query, can think using a multi-step approach, or even fabricate information that they do not have (Aiyappa et al., 2023). This instability becomes more intense when the prompts are paraphrased, when the interactions go over several conversations, or when the tasks are even more complex than training distributions (Brusilovsky, 2024). The problems are substantive risks in such areas as clinical decision support, the analysis of governmental policy, and legal consultation, where false information or unrelated logic may result in adverse consequences (Cabitza et al., 2023; Cowin et al., 2023). In that way, although the functionality of LLMs is extraordinary, its practicality is determined by their capacity to act in the same way, be based on factual evidence, and show consistent reasoning in a variety of contextual variations.

1.2 Problem Definition Stability in LLMs. The capacity of a model to generate semantically consistent, logically structured, and factually accurate responses to repeated or similar instructions is called stability in LLMs. Instability is exhibited in: Key Instability Behaviour Description Semantic divergence Answers shift meaning despite identical intent in prompts Hallucination Incorrect or fabricated claims presented confidently Reasoning breakdown Illogical or contradictory response generation Session drift
