What is RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)?

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is the process of optimizing the output of a large language model, so it references an knowledge base outside of its training data sources before generating a response. Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained on vast volumes of data and use billions of parameters to generate original output for tasks like answering questions, translating languages, and completing sentences. So RAG extends the already powerful capabilities of LLMs to specific domains or an organization's internal knowledge base, all without the need to retrain the model. ✅ It is a cost-effective approach to improving LLM output so it remains relevant, accurate, and useful in various contexts. ⭐️ Contents ⭐️ 00:00 What is RAG? 0:59 Why RAG is important? 2:53 Benefits of RAG 5:19 How it works? 8:33 RAG vs Semantic Search? __________________________________________________________________________________________________ 🔔 My Newsletter and Featured Articles: https://abonia1.github.io/newsletter/ 🔗 Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aboniasojasingarayar/ 🔗 Find me on Github : https://github.com/Abonia1 🔗 Medium Articles: https://medium.com/@abonia #genai #llm #ai
