RLHF generally tends to make the model pretty confident making the entropy of it a not so useful predictor of when the model is going to get something wrong. You can do a kind of sensitivity analysis to see how sensitive the output is to sm

Even more spicy is vapor phase cleaning... evaporate the solvent, condense on the part to be cleaned suspended above it. Very effective since the impurities are constantly distilled out. Also kinda explody.
