No, not basically no.

https://mashable.com/article/openai-o3-o4-mini-hallucinate-higher-previous-models

By OpenAI's own testing, its newest reasoning models, o3 and o4-mini, hallucinate significantly higher than o1.

Stop spreading misinformation. The company itself acknowledges that it hallucinates more than previous models.

I stand corrected thank you for sharing

I was commenting based on anecdotal experience and I didn't know where was a test specifically for this

I do notice that o3 is more overconfident and tends to find a source online from some forum and treat it as gospel

Which, while not correct, I would not treat as hallucination
