Which makes it all the more bizarre that LLMs have this problem. Claude Code runs the code it generates through a compiler, why can’t an LLM run its product through a cite checker? I’ve seen LLMs fabricate citations.

A modern frontier model with an agentic harness will check its citations if the system instructions or prompt tell it to.

You can get an effectively-zero hallucination rate with the right setup already.
