<abstract>We present our system for the SHROOM-Visions 2026 shared task on character-level VLM hallucination detection. A small (4B-parameter) VLM is fine-tuned as a per-token classifier reading a two-token feature from its own hidden states—the token being judged together with the state that predicted it—and is ensembled with a ~400B zero-shot VLM judge at prediction time. Both components see off-the-shelf OCR of any visible in-image text. We use synthetic hallucination data generated by the large model as a source of ensemble diversity, and use validation to select feature layer, training data and OCR grounding. Our official entry reaches mean Cor 0.487 / Cor-lbl 0.387 on the hidden test set, placing 6th/28 (EN), 6th/21 (FR), 8th/21 (IT) and 7th/22 (ZH) on the task’s primary Cor-lbl metric.</abstract>
