Report #101688

[research] RAG returns retrieved docs but the model's answer is still unsupported or misattributed

Require the model to generate inline citations tied to specific retrieved passages, then verify each claim-passage pair with an attribution/NLI check. If a claim has no supporting passage, remove or flag it. Fine-tune for grounding \(AGREE\) rather than relying only on prompting.

Journey Context:
Ye et al.'s AGREE showed that retrieval alone does not guarantee faithful use of retrieved content; models paraphrase beyond support or cite wrong passages. The fix is explicit attribution at training and inference time: every claim must map to a source span. For coding agents, every API claim should cite the doc or source line it came from, and unsupported claims should be stripped.
