Google's new FACTS benchmark reveals a troubling reality: even our best AI models hit a 70% ceiling on factual accuracy. While we've been obsessing over coding benchmarks and task completion, we've overlooked the fundamental question of whether AI actually gets basic facts right This gap between capability and reliability is exactly what's holding back widespread enterprise adoption.

The 70% factuality ceiling: why Google’s new ‘FACTS’ benchmark is a wake-up call for enterprise AI

There's no shortage of generative AI benchmarks designed to measure the performance and accuracy of a given model on completing various helpful enterprise tasks — from coding to instruction following to agentic web browsing and tool use. But many of these benchmarks have one major shortcoming: they measure the AI's ability to complete specific problems and requests, not how factual the model is in its outputs — how well it generates objectively correct information tied to real-worl
