AI search agents rarely fail at multi-step research because of the search itself. Their real problem is not asking the user for clarification when queries are ambiguous. A new benchmark called DiscoBench shows that models searching repeatedly instead of asking follow-up questions actually perform worse, at 51.9 percent, than those that just guess. Even the best model only hits 43 percent overall accuracy. When ambiguity is removed from the queries, accuracy jumps by up to 40 points.<br /> The article AI search agents don't fail at searching, they fail at asking the right questions when queries get ambiguous appeared first on The Decoder.

For a quarter century, the Google search box has been one of the most recognizable interfaces in computing: a thin white rectangle, a blinking cursor, a few typed words, and a list of blue links. On T [...]
Nimble, a New York City-based tech startup VentureBeat previously covered for its efforts to re-invent web search for enterprises by using multiple AI agents to improve accuracy and depth, is taking a [...]
Our LLM API bill was growing 30% month-over-month. Traffic was increasing, but not that fast. When I analyzed our query logs, I found the real problem: Users ask the same questions in different ways.& [...]
Most enterprise RAG pipelines are optimized for one search behavior. They fail silently on the others. A model trained to synthesize cross-document reports handles constraint-driven entity search poor [...]
