In the landscape of artificial intelligence and machine learning, the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) has revolutionized the development of intelligent applications and services. These models exhibit remarkable capabilities in understanding and generating human-like text, offering immense potential for various enterprise applications.

However, a significant challenge persists: LLMs can generate outputs that are plausible yet factually incorrect, a phenomenon known as hallucination.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as an important strategy to address this issue by integrating external knowledge sources into the generation process, thereby enhancing the accuracy and reliability of LLMs.
