A recent analysis of a 24B model's performance on a 2,700-question evaluation revealed a 7% hallucination rate, but most instances were not true fabrications. Instead, the model often provided incorrect information due to flawed or incomplete input data, a phenomenon the author distinguishes from model-internal errors. This distinction is crucial for developing tools, as errors stemming from input can be addressed, while those originating within the model's weights are more challenging to fix. AI
