2025-01-23
Anthropic has launched Citations, a new API feature for Claude that allows it to cite specific sentences and passages from source documents within its responses. This significantly enhances the verifiability and trustworthiness of Claude's outputs. Applications range from document summarization and complex Q&A to customer support, offering improved accuracy and efficiency while minimizing the risk of AI hallucinations. Early adopters like Thomson Reuters and Endex have reported substantial improvements in accuracy and workflow.
