Large language models (LLMs) like Gemini are incredibly powerful, but they have a fundamental limitation: their knowledge is frozen at the time they were trained. They don't have access to live, real-time information from the internet. This means if you ask about today's news, stock prices, or the weather, they can't give you a current answer.

This is where grounding comes in. Grounding connects the model to external, authoritative sources of information, like Google Search.
