What is Retrieval Augmented Generation?

Retrieval augment generation, in short RAG is a mechanism to integrate large language model to a custom data. RAG includes two methods:

  • Retriever model
  • Generator model

The process includes where a user enters his query. This query is first converted into vector format using embedding model. Based on this input embedding, we look into the existing vector store and retrieve the relevant document/content. This is the process that is involved in retriever model.

In the generator model, we generate a response. During the retriever, we extract the relevant document, this document along with the query is passed to the large language model. Using the LLM intelligence we get a better response to the user query/prompt.

Build RAG pipeline using Open Source Large Language Models

In this article, we will implement Retrieval Augmented Generation aka RAG pipeline using Open-Source Large Language models with Langchain and HuggingFace.

Open Source LLMs vs Closed Source LLMs

Large Language models are all over the place. Because of the rise of Large Language models, AI came into the limelight in the market. From development to the business world, most tasks are now automated thanks to the capability of Large Language Models. One breakthrough in this field was the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI. Large Language Models are autoregressive models trained on large amounts of data and can further perform tasks such as Text Generation, Text Autocompletion, Question and answering, Intelligent Chatbot, Code Generation, Text Summarization and more. Large Language models such as GPT are good, but they also address the issues of Data Privacy....
