Borealis 2 and Gemma 4 show no significant difference in outdated legal data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A preregistered study compared the accuracy of two language models, Borealis 2 and Gemma 4, in providing numeric values from Norwegian statutes and regulations. The research found no significant difference between the models in their frequency of providing outdated information. While Borealis 2 was further trained from Gemma 4, the study concluded that the difference in outdated values was not statistically significant. AI

IMPACT This study indicates that current language models may struggle with factual accuracy in specialized legal datasets, suggesting a need for improved data freshness and validation in AI training.

    Outdated numeric values from Norwegian statutes and regulations in a further-trained model and its base model: a preregistered paired comparison of Borealis 2 and Gemma 4

    arXiv:2611.02334v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: We compare how often two released language models give outdated numeric values from Norwegian statutes and regulations: NbAiLab/borealis2-26b-a4b-preview (Borealis 2), which the National Library of Norway further trained from google…
