Open-source libraries facilitated RAG pipeline creation but lacked comprehensive training and evaluation capabilities. Proposed frameworks for RAG-based large language models (LLMs) omitted crucial training components. Novel approaches, such as treating LLM prompting as a programming language, emerged but introduced complexity. Evaluation methodologies using synthetic data and LLM critics were developed to assess RAG performance. Studies… →
