I really wish there were search harnesses, actually. My LLMs are lazy as hell and seem to want to just report the first thing they find on google. I know they can return truly niche and useful results, but it takes a lot more prompting to get them there than I would like.

I've been using GPT-6 Pro in ChatGPT (and its predecessor GPT-5.6 Pro) and it's been incredibly effective. I don't think it's available on anything less than the OpenAI $100/month plan though.

you know that most big ai companies not only have search harnesses but also sota models that are post trained for web search specifically.this is what the deepsearch option is in most cases. and they have been unbelievably good for years now.

		The recent OpenAI wiki spam indecent was interesting because it helped reveal some of how they are training their models for research tasks: https://collusion.wiki/ See also this piece on misalignment from OpenAI https://alignment.openai.com/misalignment-reports/self-gener... which reveals one of their RL tasks: > In mid-2024, <redacted> published a list of the best books of the 21st century selected by a panel of experts. It also published a separate list based on readers' votes. I would like to know whether my local public library's collection included the books on the latter list as of August 24, 2024. Consider only the top 50 books, and exclude nonfiction and poetry collections.
