 ### How come I get different results than your papers?
 
-Internally at FutureHouse, we have a slightly different set of tools. We're trying to get some of them, like citation traversral, into this repo. However, we have APIs and licenses to access research papers that we cannot share openly. Similarly, in our research papers' results we do not start with the known relevant PDFs. Our agent has to identify them using keyword search over all papers, rather than just a subset. We're gradually aligning these two versions of PaperQA, but until there is an open-source way to freely access papers (even just open source papers) you will need to provide PDFs yourself.
