This article explains Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), a method to reduce the risk of hallucinations in Large Language Models (LLMs) by limiting the context in which they generate answers. RAG is demonstrated using txtai, an open-source embeddings database for semantic search, LLM orchestration, and language model workflows.
DSPy provides composable and declarative modules for instructing LMs in a familiar Pythonic syntax. It upgrades "prompting techniques" like chain-of-thought and self-reflection from hand-adapted string manipulation tricks into truly modular generalized operations that learn to adapt to your task.
