Challenge:	Contemporary large language models (LLMs) are pretrained on huge corpora of natural language text and fine-tuned using human feedback to improve their quality.
Approach:	They compare the performance of standard LLMs, LLM augmented with retrievals from a bespoke knowledge base and LLM with retrieval from . a web search on multiple cultural awareness benchmarks.
Outcome:	The retrieval augmented generation and search grounding techniques improve LLMs' ability to display familiarity with various national cultures on cultural awareness benchmarks.
