MODEL PERFORMANCE DEFICIENCY REPORT
Topic: Social Security / International Totalization / Legislative Update
Case ID: WEP/GPO Repeal (Social Security Fairness Act of 2025)
ISSUE:
The model failed to prioritize a major federal legislative change (Repeal of WEP/GPO, signed Jan 2025) over its legacy training data regarding the Windfall Elimination Provision. Even when provided with a “2026” system date and a “Quality Assurance” prompt designed to catch errors, the model hallucinated a benefit reduction (WEP) that no longer exists in the current legal environment.
CRITICAL WEAKNESSES:
- Temporal Logic: Failure to reconcile the “current date” (2026) with the status of active legislation.
- Cross-Domain Verification: Failure to verify “standard” financial rules against recent legal overrides.
- Instruction Following: The model ignored the “Q A Prompt” discipline which should have triggered a search for conflicting facts (like the Social Security Fairness Act).
- Also did not follow the standard Quality Assurance prompts user had requested Gemini to follow to prevent hallucinations.
REQUESTED FIX:
Improve the model’s ‘recency weight’ for federal law and financial regulations. Ensure that financial/legal “standard practices” are cross-referenced with recent legislative triggers during the reasoning phase. Also ensure in these more nuanced analysis the model does not hallucinate and follows the Quality assurance prompts a more sophisticated user had requested as base performance
