New Benchmark Shows AI Agents Miss a Quarter of the Live Web
EXM7777 · x · 2026-08-27
A newly released benchmark tests AI agent search on live web data that changes daily, making memorization impossible. The best-performing tool finds only 75% of what's actually out there, Google's API finds 53%, and on the hardest queries even the supposed best tool misses almost half the results.
The takeaway: everyone argues about which model is smartest while their agents are half blind — fix your search layer before your prompts.
