New Hallucination Index Identifies Best LLMs for Most Popular AI Use Cases

Retrieved on:

Wednesday, November 15, 2023

“To help builders identify which LLMs to use for their applications, Galileo Labs created a ranking of the most popular LLMs based on their propensity to hallucinate using our proprietary hallucination evaluation metrics, Correctness and Context Adherence.

Key Points:

“To help builders identify which LLMs to use for their applications, Galileo Labs created a ranking of the most popular LLMs based on their propensity to hallucinate using our proprietary hallucination evaluation metrics, Correctness and Context Adherence.
With hallucinations, AI generates information that appears realistic at first glance yet is ultimately incorrect or disconnected from the context.
The Index recommends GPT-4-0613 for reliable and accurate AI performance in this task type.
