Artificial Intelligence's widespread adoption is transforming the world, with Large Language Models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's GPT capturing public attention due to their advanced natural language processing capabilities. Despite their strengths, LLMs face challenges like providing inaccurate or outdated information, often without citing sources, due to their generative nature. The Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) framework addresses these issues by integrating LLMs with external, up-to-date datasets, allowing for more accurate and relevant responses. By combining information retrieval with text generation, RAG enables LLMs to access and incorporate real-time information, overcoming the limitations of retraining and enhancing the accuracy of their outputs. This framework is particularly effective across various applications, including chatbots, educational tools, legal research, medical diagnosis, and language translation, by providing context-aware and accurate responses. RAG models are shown to reduce hallucinations and increase accuracy, highlighting the importance of well-designed frameworks in advancing AI technologies.
