Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.

How will the article end in Part III of Gleissner's hit piece?
Here’s the proof :
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
