RAG: Retrieval-Augmented Generation

LLMs are trained on a static snapshot of the world. Ask GPT-4 about your internal docs, last quarter's sales, or a bug filed yesterday — it cannot know. And when it doesn't know, it hallucinates.

• CUTOFFTraining data has a fixed date — the model knows nothing after it
• PRIVATEThe model has never seen your internal documents, codebase, or database
• HALLUCINATIONRather than say "I don't know", LLMs confidently fabricate plausible answers
• FINE-TUNING?Fine-tuning updates behavior, not knowledge — and costs thousands of dollars to re-run
