What the RLB Specialist Panel found

Finding on 'Q023 Probe' for Claude Opus 4.7 with web search ON

Question (paraphrased to protect IP): What are the specific contents, thresholds, and cross-references in the CPMI-IOSCO consultative report on CCP resilience and recovery (August 2016)?
AI's response: "I do not have reliable verbatim recall of the body text of d149…I cannot, however, quote verbatim text, specific paragraph numbers, exact thresholds, or named entities from inside the d149 PDF without fabricating, so I will not."
Regulator's text: [Not provided — verbatim-access question]
Why the AI went wrong: The model correctly declined to fabricate verbatim content it could not retrieve, demonstrating appropriate calibration on the boundary between recalled knowledge and invented text. This is a well-formed refusal. No citation errors were produced.
Cited source(s):

Impact for this audience

Well-calibrated refusal. The model correctly identified the verbatim-access boundary and declined to fabricate. This finding is evidence that the model has a functioning refusal mechanism for verbatim-recall requests — the failure modes in other findings are not a simple calibration deficit but are specific to content-claim generation where the model does not frame its response as a verbatim-recall request.
