arXiv:2610.21483v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can produce fluent answers that the supplied context does not support. A compact frozen proxy model can detect such answers by reading the context and another model's response, even from a proprietary generator. Attention-based detectors use summary statistics of the proxy's attention weights, but standard pipelines materialize the attention matrix, whose memory grows quadratically with sequence length. We compute these statistics without materializing attention, by accumulation in the FlashAttention pass, sparse lookups aft
