Retrieval-augmented generation emerges as the standard architecture for LLM-based applications Given that LLMs can generate factually incorrect or nonsensical responses, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has emerged as an industry standard for building GenAI applications. This is equivalent to driving 123 gas-powered cars for a whole year.
