Did you know Which AI Models Are Leading the Way in Reducing Hallucinations and Improving Accuracy?
AI models are helping us in a lot of areas but they tend to hallucinate
too and give us inaccurate information. IBM defines hallucinations in AI
chatbots or computer vision tools as some outputs that come out as
inaccurate due to detection of some patterns that do not exist. Vectara analyzed
1,000 short documents with each LLMs to detect hallucinations in them
and came up with top 15 large language models with the lowest rates of
hallucination. According to the data, Zhipu AI’s GLM-4-9B-Chat has the
least hallucination rate at 1.3%. Google Gemini-2.0-Flash-Esp has the
second lowest hallucination rate at 1.3% as well.
The top third
LLM with least hallucination levels is OpenAI’s o1-mini with 1.4%
hallucination rate. With a hallucination rate of 1.5%, GPT-4o is the
fourth model with least hallucination. GPT-4o-mini and GPT-4-Turbo have
hallucination rates of 1.7%. It was observed that more specialized and
smaller models have the lowest hallucination rates. OpenAI’s GPT-4 has a
hallucination rate of 1.8%, while GPT-3.5-Turbo has a hallucination
rate of 1.9%.
It is important for AI systems to show low levels of hallucination for them to work properly, especially in high-stake applications in healthcare, finance and law. Smaller models are slowly reducing hallucinations in their AI models, with Mistral 8×7B models reducing hallucinations in their AI generated texts.
