A global workspace in language models

What does it say to the second question? I've found Claude is one of the worst models with regards to pop culture knowledge like this, even compared to the Chinese open ones. Just curious, not really relevant to the initial post but I don't pay for it so I only have access to Sonnet.

"I've found Claude is one of the worst models with regards to pop culture knowledge like this, "

Is that bad?

I want to use models for coding and reasoning capabilities, not pop trivia knowledge they can get with web search.

For most cases probably not. It's just something I like testing new models on sometimes, the pelican riding a bicycle benchmark probably isn't that useful either.

But that is just testing for encoded knowledge, the pelican riding requires some reasoning capabilities, but lost its surely usefullness a while ago.
