Just as a note, in my experience, Kagi Assistant is considerably worse when you have web access turned on, so you could start with turning that off. Whatever wrapper Kagi have used to build the web access layer on top makes the output considerably less reliable, often riddled with nonsense hallucinations. Or at least that's my experience with it, regardless of what underlying model I've used.
- freehorse 2y agoThat has been also my problem when I was using phind. In both cases, very often i turn the web search off to get better results. I suspect there is too much pollution from bad context from search results some of which may not be completely relevant to the task. But sometimes I work on things and libraries that are more niche/obscure and without search the models do not know these very well. I have the impression that things get better when using very narrow lenses for whatever I ask them for, but I have not tested this properly wrt all 3 conditions. Is there a kind of query that you see considerable improvement when the model does not have web access?
- staticman2 2y agoThat makes sense. When I used Kagi assistant 6 months ago I was able to jailbreak what it saw from the web results and it was given much less data from the actual web sites than Perplexity, just very brief excerpts to look at. I'm not overly impressed with Perplexity's web search capabilities either, but it was the better of the two.
