What is retrieval augmented generation?

An AI generated mountain.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a powerful technique in AI that combines large language models with real-time access to external data sources, allowing for more accurate, relevant, and timely responses. By dynamically retrieving authoritative information, RAG enables generative models to overcome the limitations of static, pre-trained knowledge, making them more effective for applications where precision and […]

RAG techniques: From naive to advanced
