Recognises a reference with several possible referents

Can AI do this?
AI does this partly Some of the tested AI models master this; others do not show it. 3 of 10 models master it.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 100% | Mastered |
| gemini-3.1-pro-preview | Flagship | 47% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-astra | Flagship | 48% | Not shown |
| claude-fable-5-1 | Flagship | 46% | Not shown |
| gemini-3.8-flash | Mid tier | 67% | Not shown |
| gpt-6.1-sol | Mid tier | 45% | Not shown |
| claude-sonnet-5-5 | Mid tier | 66% | Not shown |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 98% | Mastered |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 64% | Not shown |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
Mastered means a probability of at least 90% that the model has this knobit, estimated from its graded answers. “Not shown” means the answers do not settle it either way. How the models are tested.
What it looks like in practice
Expected result: The reference and its candidate referents
How it is assessed: Flags the deficient case and passes the acceptable one. Deficient: "When a card is linked to an account, it must have an open status." (the card or the account?) Acceptable: "When a card is linked to an account, the account must have status Open."
