Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

Earth is Eating Itself: Vast Chunks Of Crust Are Being Swallowed From Within - The Daily Galaxy
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
What are some good inspirational movies?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

To the reader/asker:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
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:
