I remember asking for quotes about the Spanish conquest of South America because I couldn't remember who said a specific thing. The GPT model started hallucinating quotes on the topic, while DeepSeek responded with, "I don't know a quote about that specific topic, but you might mean this other thing." or something like that then cited a real quote in the same topic, after acknowledging that it wasn't able to find the one I had read in an old book.
i don't use it for coding, but for things that are more unique i feel is more precise.
I wonder if Conway's law is at all responsible for that, in the similarity it is based on; regional trained data which has concept biases which it sends back in response.
I'm doing coreference resolution and this model (w/o thinking) performs at the Gemini 2.5-Pro level (w/ thinking_budget set to -1) at a fraction of the cost.

Was that true for GPT-5? They claim it is much better at not hallucinating

Nice point. How did you test for coreference resolution? Specific prompt or dataset?
Strong claim there!
