Labs report it only in system cards
We read the headline results of 522 launch posts from 52 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.
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.
| Date | Document | Score | As the document writes it | Section |

| Jul 27, 2026 | Kimi K3 technical report | 85.5 | Faithfulness, 1 minus hallucination rate (Table 3) | Hallucination |
