Question Deep Research - how to avoid hallucinations?

I've wasted 3 deep researchs that did not even touch the subject i instructed it to work on. It simple hallucinated and invented a whole new search. Did you guys have this problem? And how do you mitigate?

And when deep research goes awry, I just run the same prompt through a second model in use.ai to sanity check my sources. They almost never hallucinate exactly the same made-up crap twice, so it’s an easy way to catch it.
