Anthropic's new feature, Citations, integrates RAG capability into its Claude models, allowing developers to easily access source referencing in AI outputs. This is crucial, as verifying accuracy poses challenges. Early adopters like Thomson Reuters have reported enhanced trust in AI-generated content, while financial firm Endex has noted a significant reduction in source errors and improved reference counts. However, concerns remain about the reliability of LLMs in providing accurate references, indicating that further research is needed before full reliance on this technology.
While citing sources helps verify accuracy, building a system that does it well can be quite tricky, but Citations appears to be a step in the right direction.
Anthropic says that Thomson Reuters, which uses Claude to power its CoCounsel legal AI reference platform, is looking forward to using Citations in a way that helps minimize hallucination risk.
Financial technology company Endex told Anthropic that Citations reduced their source confabulations from 10 percent to zero while increasing references per response by 20 percent.
Despite these claims, relying on any LLM to accurately relay reference information is still a risk until the technology is more deeply studied and proven in the field.
