DeepSeek ranks near-zero on AA-Omniscience hallucination test, sparking leaderboard credibility fight

Chinese AI commentator @xiangning0 blasted Artificial Analysis' updated AA-Omniscience benchmark as a "pay-to-play joke list" after DeepSeek V4.1 Flash scored just 1 on the hallucination test and an unreleased Google model topped the chart. teortaxes pushed back hard: DeepSeek has always scored near or below zero on this benchmark due to mediocre accuracy (46%) and very high hallucination rates. Per AA's own post, the V4.1 Flash 1017 update actually improved non-hallucination rate 29 points to 33% and lifted the index from -5 to +5 — still last among 107 models, vs. Claude Sonnet's 68% accuracy / 11% hallucination. The spat highlights ongoing disputes over hallucination benchmark methodology.
