Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
If you caught a shoplifter at your yard sale, how would you handle it?
To the reader/asker:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
