Why foundation models hallucinate on Arabic civil law.
Global frontier LLMs (Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Qwen3.8-Max) excel at general reasoning and Anglo-American common law. However, Arabic civil law is defined by structured codified statutes, ministerial executive regulations, Sharia commercial doctrines, and court of cassation jurisprudence that are absent from Western training sets.
Without authentic statutory retrieval, models invent non-existent article numbers and cite repealed laws. Dike solves this by serving as the verified grounding supplier: your agent queries Dike, receives exact statutory chunks with canonical citation IDs, and passes them into LLM context windows for hallucination-free legal synthesis.
