OpenAI: Retrieval-augmented response synthesis
A grounding pipeline that pairs retrieval with generation to reduce hallucination and improve citation quality.
The core claim is a scoring layer that decides when to trust retrieval and when to fall back to parametric memory.
Trust as a scored decision
The scoring layer weighs retrieved passages against the model's own priors. High-confidence, well-structured passages tip the score toward retrieval; ambiguous ones let the priors dominate.
For source sites, the takeaway is that structural quality is what moves the score. Clean claims and unambiguous formatting are the levers you can pull.
