Prevent the assistant from citing sources

API
1

Hello there, I was looking for topics in the community and it seems that everyone wants the assistant mention sources, my question is how do I prevent the Assistant GPT from mentioning sources like “【29†source】”.

Clearly it is a Assistant with retrieval on and it is a Q&A style chatbot and I need the chatbot not mention sources

I am connecting to it in Botpress

Thank you very much

The model needs instructions what else it should do if it should not follow the trained behavior.
Something along the lines of “instead of mentioning the sources explicitly simply state that you found this information in your knowledgebase”.
You will have to work with the prompt a bit.

I did it, I told him not to mention the database and not make any reference to it, nor put those source messages

You can just strip them out of the language with your code.

I whipped up a code snippet previously.

Hi Aaron,

I am also using the botpress integration, mind sharing how you removed the annotations when using botpress integration?

In php, here is the full regular expression that removes source quotes :
$answer = preg_replace('/【\d+(:\d+)?+†source】/', '', $answer);

In my case, I instruct asssitant that it needs to return a tag in the end. So, I use it in somewhere else in the system.

But the thing is assistant API returns only citation in the end when citation available. It ignores my other instruction regarding tag. So, that breaks my bussiness logic.

I have strictly stipulate that it should return the tag in the end in any case. But it keeps ignoring.
How should I overcome the issue? Any suggestions?
