Wild WordAI Experience
RAG
“Retrieval-augmented generation — the model looks up documents at answer time instead of relying only on what it memorized in training.”

Context
RAG systems combine a retriever (which finds relevant documents from a knowledge base) with a generator (the LLM that produces the answer). This reduces hallucinations and allows grounding responses in current or proprietary information without retraining the model.
