And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
How many books do you read in a week and what are they, could you share one?

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:
