What is retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and are you ready for it?

Jul 3, 2024 | leaddev.com | Harry Guinness

While large language models (LLMs) are capable of incredible feats of summarization and translation, deploying them in mission critical ways is beset with problems – even for the largest tech companies in the world. While they are trained on huge volumes of data, LLM’s are still limited by their training data and the quality of the prompt.
