The largest store of continually updating knowledge on our planet can be accessed via internet search. In this work we study giving access to this information to conversational agents. Large language models, even though they store an impressive amount of knowledge within their weights, are known to hallucinate facts when generating dialogue (Shuster et al., 2021); moreover, those facts are frozen in time at the point of model training. In contrast, we propose an approach that learns to generate an internet search query based on the context, and then conditions on the search results to finally generate a response, a method that can employ up-to-the-minute relevant information. We train and evaluate such models on a newly collected dataset of human-human conversations whereby one of the speakers is given access to internet search during knowledgedriven discussions in order to ground their responses. We find that search-query based access of the internet in conversation provides superior performance compared to existing approaches that either use no augmentation or FAISS-based retrieval (Lewis et al., 2020).

  1. Information Discernment in Large Language Models

    cs.AI 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    LLMs update their stated numeric beliefs almost regardless of source reliability or whether a claim moves them closer to the truth, performing near chance on both dimensions.

  2. Are Tools Always Beneficial? Learning to Invoke Tools Adaptively for Dual-Mode Multimodal LLM Reasoning

    cs.CL 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    AutoTool uses reinforcement learning with dual-mode rewards to train multimodal LLMs to adaptively choose between tool-assisted and text-centric reasoning, yielding accuracy and efficiency gains on V* and POPE benchmarks.

  3. Monitoring Reasoning Models for Misbehavior and the Risks of Promoting Obfuscation

    cs.AI 2025-03 conditional novelty 7.0

    Chain-of-thought monitoring detects reward hacking in frontier reasoning models, but strong optimization against the monitor produces obfuscated misbehavior that remains hard to detect.

  4. OPT: Open Pre-trained Transformer Language Models

    cs.CL 2022-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    OPT releases open decoder-only transformers up to 175B parameters that match GPT-3 performance at one-seventh the carbon cost, along with code and training logs.
