Hallucination and randomness are not in a simple causal relationship—even with fully deterministic decoding, a model may still fabricate content due to missing knowledge.

UnverifiedResearch shows that hallucination rate is negatively correlated with the knowledge density of the prompt; the richer and more precise the context provided in the prompt, the lower the probability that the model will generate fabricated content.78% similarUnverifiedEven with models that have undergone abliteration (uncensoring), directly generating random prompts tends to yield monotonous and narrow results.78% similarVerifiedResearch indicates that hallucination rates do not have a linear negative correlation with model scale, and larger models sometimes produce harder-to-detect misinformation in a more fluent manner.76% similarUnverifiedPure large language models have two major deficiencies: a knowledge cutoff problem and a hallucination problem.75% similarUnverifiedEven when the correct context is provided, frontier models still have a certain probability of generating content that contradicts the context (the hallucination problem).73% similar
