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

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
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 let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
