Inline citations. I use perplexity all the time to find HackerNews or Reddit threads on certain topics, or conduct baseline research on topics. It will return the standard LLM answer but with inline citations which I can then use to verify or explore further.

Have you used ChatGPT with "internet" access enabled (the globe icon)? It can and does cite its sources and is surprisingly accurate and useful.

This is very recently free, and I find less sources than you.com or perplexity in my experience.

Quality over quantity perhaps? Can't see why you'd want _more_ than about 3-5 sources returned each time. Anything more is information overload and defeats the purpose of being able to vet the claims in a timely manner.

Not if I am looking for something specific like Reddit threads.
Anyway. I want more and you.com and perplexity does that so I will use them over chatgtp.

Fair enough!
Use https://hackersearch.net/ for RAG and copy-paste the response in any LLM. I wish reddit had semantic search as well. For X I can use Grok.
Reddit answers (https://www.reddit.com/answers) kinda serves this purpose but AFAIK, its not available for everyone yet
