Do 2B models have practical use cases, or are they just toys for now?

I'm new to the local hosting, and I have just tried 2B models on my smartphone (qwen2.5/3.5, gemma).  I have asked generic questions, like the top 3 cities of a small country. It goes in the right general direction, but 80% of the reply is a hallucination Am I doing something wrong, or is this expected?
