What is RAG?

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)

← All glossary terms
In short

Retrieve relevant documents and use them as context to generate the answer.

Explained

RAG augments LLM generation with retrieved documents. Given a query, the system fetches relevant passages from a knowledge base, then passes them to the LLM as context. This grounds answers and reduces hallucinations.
