HealthBench-Hallu
Models answer HealthBench-style medical prompts. A pipeline splits each answer into medical claims and checks them against medical evidence. The score is a weighted hallucination rate.
Refuted claims weigh 1.0 and uncertain claims 0.5. Lower is better.

Baichuan-M3-235B leads with 3.50%
Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

Scores over time
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
Labs headline it less often now, last in Jan 2026
Launch posts from every lab that has listed it, one tick per post. Tall colored ticks include it, and short gray ones leave it out.
| Date | Launch post | Score | As the post writes it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13 Jan 2026 | 3.5 | Hallucination Rate |
One system card reports it
Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
