For questions that need sources rather than an opinion. It gathers material, tracks where each claim came from, and shows the sources beside the answer.

The rule

The rule underneath it is mechanical, and that is the point.

A claim counts as supported only if its quote is found verbatim in the copy of the page we fetched and stored. Not “a second model agreed”, but a string comparison against the bytes retrieved.

The stored copy

For questions that need sources rather than an opinion. It gathers material, tracks where each claim came from, and shows the sources beside the answer.

Nothing was fetched to write this page, so the top of it stands in for the stored one. The quote is present in that text, character for character, and that is the entire test. Alter one character and it is no longer found, so the claim no longer counts as supported.
A model can
write a confident citation for a page that says no such thing.
A model cannot
make an invented quote appear in text it did not write.

What follows

  • Check it instead of trusting it. Claims are linked to their sources, so you can go and read what they rest on.
  • A fetch made for you follows your policy. Pages are fetched under the same network rules as your container’s outbound traffic, and every fetch is audited.

What it costs

Slower and dearer than a normal answer. Use it when the citation matters.
