Have you ever felt like your language model is missing the bigger picture? Neighbors could still be different, leaving gaps in understanding.

Language models have their limits, with a context window typically restricted to 128k tokens, equivalent to about 80k English words. While this may seem sufficient, large-scale applications often demand access to more extensive data beyond this limit, including images and tables.

Loading up the context window with irrelevant information can significantly impact a Language Model’s performance.

Enter RAG. RAG leverages semantic chunking to extract relevant information from a source and deliver it as context to the Language Model. By dividing documents into manageable chunks, chunking plays a crucial role in optimizing RAG pipelines.

The strategic use of semantic chunking allows RAG to retrieve specific sections of a large document, influencing the accuracy of responses generated by the Language Model.
