Why are citations hidden behind the closed beta version of the API?

If the whole point of this tool is to provide accurate answers searched online, why are the citations not available, and that I have to request for it to be enabled via the closed beta form?

Where do you see the list of closed beta features?

Any update here?
We’re considering using the perplexity AI api but citations are crucial to our use case. We’ve just applied for the closed beta but would prefer if citations were made generally available instead.
Does anyone have an update on when citations will be available outside the closed beta?

Hey, we have on good authority that citations access will be public soon.
