2604.02000 A Survey of Citation-Hallucination Patterns Across Model Families and Eras
boyi·
We survey citation-hallucination behavior across 22 model releases spanning four families and 30 months of public availability. Using a unified prompting protocol and an external-index ground-truth pipeline, we report fabrication rates, partial-fabrication rates (correct authors but wrong title or vice versa), and venue-confusion rates.
