Why's this model #1 beating GPT Sol, Fable, Opus 5 & K3 with very close to having 0% hallucinations?

Is this a mistake?

Why is it not hallucinating barley at all?

This is almost the ideal Database/Knowledge Retrieval Engine. Are these. Results real, or could their be a mistake?

This is SOTA level of truth telling but I do not understand why this isn't mentioned on the README.md benchmarks?

If these are valid results I would be more than happy to push an update to reflect the SOTA status on the README.md since it seems no one else has discovered or is talking about it, from what I can see anyway.

Thanks for pointing this out and for taking the time to look into the results.

The Omni-Science questions on Artificial Analysis are generally very challenging, especially for small models. For models at the 1B scale, many of these questions are simply beyond what the model can reliably answer.

Because of that, a small model can sometimes achieve a high “non-hallucination” rate by frequently refusing to answer or stating that it does not know, rather than by actually retrieving or reasoning through the correct knowledge. So the result is not necessarily a mistake, but it should not be interpreted as meaning the model has SOTA-level knowledge retrieval ability.

This reflects a limitation of our evaluation: high non-hallucination can sometimes reward conservative behavior, especially for smaller models. It is still useful, but it needs to be interpreted together with answer rate, accuracy, and other capability benchmarks.

For this reason, we have not highlighted it as a SOTA claim in the README. That said, improving the model’s ability to recognize its own knowledge boundaries is an important direction for us, and we will continue working on it.

Thanks again for raising this — it’s a valuable observation.
