RAG

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is an innovative approach that enhances the capabilities of AI applications, particularly large language models (LLMs). By integrating external knowledge sources, RAG allows these models to access real-time information and generate more accurate, contextually relevant responses. Unlike traditional LLMs, which are limited to their training data, RAG enables AI to reference current events, recent research, and even personalized data securely. This hybrid method not only improves the quality of AI-generated content but also makes it adaptable to dynamic environments, marking a significant advancement in the field of artificial intelligence.
