RAG ARCHITECTURE
Effective RAG strategies for LLM applications & AI agents
This paper explores the intricacies of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) strategies, emphasizing the superiority of semantic RAG for enterprise software architects aiming to build robust generative AI applications and agents. It also provides an enterprise-ready RAG architecture diagram.
Why semantic RAG is better for enterprise applications
Semantic RAG, also known as “advanced RAG”, introduces semantic understanding into the retrieval process
Precision and relevance
By understanding the semantics of the query and the content, the retrieval system can fetch more relevant information
Enhanced user experience
By ensuring that the responses are both accurate and contextually coherent, semantic RAG enhances the overall user experience
Scalability
Semantic RAG, with its use of advanced retrieval techniques, offers a scalable solution that can efficiently handle large knowledge bases
Adaptability
Semantic RAG is highly adaptable to various enterprise use cases, making it a versatile tool for generative AI applications and agents
Enterprise architects and software developers should read this guide to:
- Understand Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Discover the challenges of basic RAG strategies vs the advantages of semantic RAG
- Learn how RAG helps prevent LLM hallucinations
- Explore why semantic RAG is the best strategy for enterprise teams
- Get an enterprise-ready RAG architecture diagram
