Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG): A Deep, End-to-End Guide with LangChain
Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 are powerful, but they suffer from three fundamental limitations:
They do not know your private or latest data – an LLM cannot answer questions about your PDFs, internal documents, or databases unless that information is explicitly provided at runtime.
They hallucinate – when an LLM is unsure, it may confidently generate incorrect information.
They lack traceability – answers are not grounded in verifiable sources.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is the architectural pattern designed to solve these problems
