Recently Claude added a citations API which makes using them for RAG use cases a lot more appealing. Currently, any way of using citations with OpenAI’s API has been unsuccessful. A lot of it is unreliable.
I’m wondering if anyone has a solution or thinks this is something OpenAI will add in the near future. Usually I s*** on Claude’s API but this is the one time I need OpenAI to add something I find rather important to many companies.
Hi @khosraw and welcome to the community!
Oddly enough, I recently learned there is citations feature within the Assistants API as part of message annotations! So if you use Assistants API, it’s there already. Not sure if there will be a more general solution over chat completions API.
Yes, do know about that, although even the Assistants API’s citation feature isn’t always accurate in what it cites, on top of the fact that I can’t attach plain text and label it as a resource to be cited. The normal chat completions API likely doesn’t have any citations at all.
