Trace how models retrieve and cite supplier sources

Sources Query: “how LLMs cite sources”

Students can follow the path from supplier source material to generated answer and identify where evidence is selected or lost.

What this lecture covers

This lecture explains how models and AI search systems may retrieve, summarize, and cite pages rather than simply crawl a site like a classic search index. A recurrent pattern shows a current product page losing to an older PDF because the PDF states the category more clearly, even though the maintenance table inside it is no longer ideal.
