What is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)?

RAG supercharges LLMs by fetching relevant docs from a vector DB before generating answers — killing hallucinations with fresh facts.

How do I implement RAG with LangChain?

Load docs, chunk, embed with HuggingFace, store in Chroma/FAISS, query-retrieve-generate. Start with their quickstarts — 50 lines to magic.

Does RAG fix all LLM problems?

Nah, but it crushes knowledge gaps. Pair with fine-tuning for reasoning; still evolving.
