> LLMs are terrible at accurately summarizing anything.

I think you are perhaps stuck in 2023?

 help



And yet we are discussing this in the context of a reporter having been fired from Ars Technica for publishing an article which included inaccurate LLM-generated summaries in 2026. How come?

Maybe you should read the article? :)

What failed was extracting verbatim quotes, not summarizing.

If you want an LLM to do verbatim anything, it has to be a tool call. So I’m not surprised.
