title: "🪞 ECHO ULTIMATE — Training LLMs to Know What They Don't Know"
description: |
  ECHO ULTIMATE is the first OpenEnv environment for metacognitive calibration training.
  An LLM learns to accurately predict its own probability of being correct across 7 domains
  and is rewarded for honesty, not just accuracy.

  Key innovations:
  - 7-domain task bank (Math, Logic, Factual, Science, Medical, Coding, Creative)
  - 5 calibration metrics: ECE, MCE, Brier Score, Sharpness, Resolution
  - Self-consistency confidence adjustment (multi-sample uncertainty estimation)
  - Epistemic Fingerprint: radar chart visualization of domain-level calibration
  - 3-phase curriculum: easy → cross-domain → adversarial hallucination resistance
  - Graduated penalty: -0.60 overconfident, -0.80 hallucination (conf≥95 AND wrong)
