Dont they all do that ?

I know that deepseek has links for every chain it makes where you can read the source and it's actually a good thing to check on that.

Asking an LLM to cite sources just leads to hallucinated sources, same as any other attempt to make it explain its thinking process. It doesn't have actual visibility into its internal processes, just rationalizes an explanation.
I never ask deepseek to cite sources, it just does. And I check everytime, it always corroborate to what is being said.
