arXiv:2606. 28358v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) aims to enhance the trustworthiness of Large Language Models (LLMs) by grounding their outputs in external documents, often using inline citations for verifiability.

arXiv:2606. 27736v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid spread of fake news poses increasing threats to information ecosystems, especially as AI-generated misinformation under Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) poisoning allows adversarially crafted content to be systematically surfaced by retrieval systems, contaminating LLM reasoning.

arXiv:2606. 26449v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented systems routinely present citations alongside generated answers, yet a citation does not confirm that the corresponding source meaningfully shaped the output.

arXiv:2606. 12439v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) answer engines are increasingly used for information seeking, shifting visibility from ranked lists to synthesized answers.

arXiv:2603. 08924v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI-powered answer engines are inherently non-deterministic: identical queries submitted at different times can produce different responses and cite different sources.

arXiv:2606. 13610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Search-augmented LLMs increasingly mediate everyday consumer recommendations by retrieving live web content.

arXiv:2607. 20730v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models increasingly use search tools to retrieve up-to-date information, introducing a new attack surface in which retrieved documents can be manipulated.

arXiv:2607. 20527v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic LLM systems such as OpenScholar and PaperQA2 read the scientific literature and return cited answers, and both they and their benchmarks already check whether those citations hold, with a fixed attribution model or human graders.

arXiv:2603. 00801v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Language agents increasingly act as web-enabled systems that search, browse, and synthesize information from diverse sources.

arXiv:2608. 01559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adversarial self-play is an appealing recipe for legal reasoning: have a student model draft an argument, have an adversary attack it, and reward the student when its argument survives the attack.

arXiv:2608. 16824v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) modifies web content to increase its likelihood of being selected and cited by generative search engines.

arXiv:2606. 02643v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-enhanced LLM systems, while powerful, introduce substantial inference costs due to the inclusion of an extra multi-stage pipeline that dynamically retrieves and synthesizes information from external knowledge sources.
