Claude Sonnet-5 accuracy tested with and without company register tools

A recent test evaluated the accuracy of the Claude Sonnet-5 model when answering questions about companies, both with and without access to real-time company registers. Without access, the model predominantly refused to answer or provided honest hedges, with only a small percentage of responses being confidently wrong. When provided with tools to access registers like Brønnøysundregistrene, Companies House, and Bolagsverket, the model's accuracy improved significantly, though some inconsistencies remained. AI

IMPACT This research highlights the importance of real-time data access for LLMs to avoid confidently incorrect answers on factual queries.
