>Right now, most LLMs with web search grounding are still in Stage 1: they can retrieve content, but their ability to assess quality, trustworthiness, and semantic ranking is still very limited.

Why do you think it is limited? Imagine you show a link with details to an LLM and ask it if it is trustworthy or high quality w.r.t the query, why can't it answer it?

Don't think the limit is in what LLMs can evaluate - given the right context, they’re good at assessing quality. The problem is what actually gets retrieved and surfaced in the first place. If the upstream search doesn’t rank high-quality or relevant material well, LLM never sees it. It's not a judgment problem, more of a selection problem.

What I mean is that more powerful engineering capabilities are needed to provide LLM with processing of search results.

Not sure I understand -- LLM's are pretty good at assessing quality of search results. If an LLM can bulk assess a bunch of results it can get a pretty far, probably more efficient than a human hand checking all the results.
