Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Overview

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) combines retrieval (searching a corpus) with generation (producing an answer), typically by:

  1. ingesting documents
  2. computing embeddings / indexes
  3. retrieving relevant passages
  4. generating an answer grounded in retrieved context

Why it is hyped

RAG is a practical way to reduce hallucinations and answer with organization-specific facts.

A 2025+ pattern

The NVIDIA RAG Blueprint describes a modern, production-oriented RAG stack with:

  • separate ingestion and retrieval/generation services
  • multimodal document support (e.g. PDF/Word/PowerPoint)
  • observability/telemetry
