I have had language models tell me it doesn't know. Usually when using a RAG-based system like Perplexity, but they can say they don't know when prompted properly.

I've seen Perplexity misrepresent search results and also interpret them differently depending on whether GPT4o or Claude Sonnett 3.5 are being used.
