- Who it helps
- Teams evaluating assistants and writers preparing explanations for other people.
- Availability
- The October 14 paper abstract is public. This review did not inspect or run an evaluation harness.
A reader can be missing the context
The authors assessed 480 replies from eight models and report that many referred to material unavailable to the reader. The problem can remain even when a reply appears relevant to the task.
A separate review pass
The abstract reports improvements from revised prompts and a rewrite step. A useful original check is to give the final answer to a reviewer without the preceding chat and ask which references cannot be resolved.
