Claim: A new gravitational wave catalog has added 161 new black hole collision detections, pushing the total number of confirmed events to 390.

The claim is mostly true as multiple reputable sources report that a new gravitational wave catalog has indeed added 161 new black hole collision detections, raising the total to 390. This information is supported by outlets like ScienceDaily and the Simons Foundation, which detail the findings from the latest catalog release. However, some sources dispute the exact number of new detections, suggesting discrepancies in catalog versions and definitions, which introduces some uncertainty regarding the total count of confirmed events. Overall, the consensus leans towards the claim being accurate but with caveats regarding the catalog's specifics. The models diverge sharply — treat this as higher-uncertainty. Gemini comes in highest (100%), while OpenAI is lowest (70%). While the majority of sources support the claim about the new gravitational wave catalog, some conflicting reports suggest that the number of new detections may not be as high as stated. For instance, MIT News indicates that a different catalog version reported only 128 new candidates, which raises questions about the total confirmed events. This discrepancy does not entirely negate the claim but highlights the need for clarity on catalog definitions and updates. Therefore, while the claim is generally supported, the exact figures may vary based on the source and catalog version referenced.
