What do you think it uses to search to web?

I don't know, but it's a good question? I have a bunch of test questions that Claude is unable to solve using the web, any version, Fable 5.1 to Haiku 5.5, and pretty much every OpenAI model gets it easily.

My only explanation is that Anthropic's search backend sucks.

Google, to find articles generated by claude, of course!

Most of the time If I ask it about a current event, it won't actually search the web until I tell it to. It will just give me outdated information in its training data, extremely confidently.

I use the ChatGPT general purpose interface rather than Claude, and this is not at all my experience. ChatGPT will almost always do one or more web searches for any query about recent or historical events.
