Prompt-driven multi-step RAG pipelines also tend to choose poorly when and what to retrieve, and they keep reasoning and retrieval only loosely connected. 2. **[CheckRLM: Effective Knowledge–Thought Coherence Checking in Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2026-checkrlm-effective-knowledge-thought-coherence/)** *(2026)* Reasoning Language Models (RLMs) such as OpenAI-o1 and DeepSeek-R1 produce long chains of thought. On knowledge-intensive questions, a single wrong fact early in the chain can spread to later steps and corrupt the final answer, a problem known as error accumulation.
