Five of the fourteen models return the sources they read before answering. Across the 4,397 answers that carry a source list, 59,341 citations name 345 sites. This page counts them: which sites the answers cite, how much of the citing goes to the vendors themselves, and how much to the review sites that sell placement. It is a fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
