Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an investment rating for the industry or specific companies within it [20][21].

Summary by Sections Event - OpenAI released a report titled "Why Language Models Hallucinate" on September 4, 2025, explaining the mechanisms behind hallucinations in language models and proposing a governance framework for AI trustworthiness [8]. Mechanisms of Hallucination - The report identifies that high sparsity of certain facts in training data, such as personal birthdays, contributes to hallucinations, with a "singleton rate" quantifying this sparsity [10]. - It establishes a theoretical basis for why high-frequency common knowledge is generally accurate while low-frequency long-tail knowledge is more prone to errors [10].
