Which AI model searches the web better on a Japanese company-analysis question?
We gave GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 the same question about one Japanese company. This page measures how far each of their four answers searched. Its cited links are not checked yet, so it does not say whether the pages back what the models wrote. It compares the models, not their advice.
As asked, word for word.

search below
- what segment do they serve?
- what strength do they have?
- any weaknesses?
- issues they cannot solve by themselves
A company's own site can answer the segment and strength points. It rarely lists the company's weaknesses or the problems it cannot solve alone. The question tests whether a model looks beyond that site.
Which model researched further?

More websites means the model looked further. It does not mean the answer is right. That needs the link check below, which has not run for this question.
Do the cited pages back what the models wrote? Not checked yet.
In a checked comparison, we open every cited link and compare the page with the passage that cites it. For this question that has not happened. The numbers below say how much there is to check.
Cited links · one square per link, none opened yet
Until then, treat every figure in these answers as a lead, not a fact. Open the page before a number goes into your plan. To see what a finished check looks like, read the comparison How effective are interpreters and translation tools at trade-show booths in Japan?.
What this means when you pick a model for research.
Every answer rests on the company's own site.
In all four answers, two of the cited websites are 010m.co.jp and its subdomain insightlead.010m.co.jp. The three shorter answers add one website each. GPT-6 at Pro adds six.
Pro searched wider and wrote more.
GPT-6 at Pro cited 8 websites in 3,090 words. The other three answers cited 3 websites each, in 1,019 to 1,657 words.
Asking twice changed the sources.
GPT-6.1 Sol at High ran twice on 13 October. Both runs cite 010m.co.jp and its subdomain. The third website is mmg-hd.co.jp in run 1 and veldt.jp in run 2.
Every answer, with its numbers.
