📝 AI security 101: Let's talk about retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG. What is RAG? RAG pulls in external data to help large language models (LLMs) generate more reliable responses. Why does RAG matter? 1️⃣ Staying current: RAG provides LLMs with up-to-date information for more accurate responses. 2️⃣ Reducing hallucinations: RAG grounds AI responses in external data, which minimizes inaccuracies and hallucinations.  3️⃣ Improving context: RAG ensures that AI can handle specific, domain-related queries with precision. How can you leverage RAG? 💡 Choose relevant knowledge sources to keep your data fresh.  🔧 Fine-tune your LLM for better performance in your domain.  📚 Regularly update your knowledge libraries to maintain relevance and accuracy.
