Part 2: RAG Architecture: How Retrieval-Augmented Generation Actually Works

Now that we understand what RAG is and why it is so popular, let’s understand how RAG actually works in real systems. So now we will talk about the complete RAG pipeline . RAG pipeline has two main components: First is called the ingestion pipeline Second is called the retrieval pipeline These are very important concepts, but they are actually very simple once you understand them. 1. Ingestion Pipeline Let’s first understand the ingestion pipeline. Ingestion pipeline basically means how we prepa
