The Anatomy of Production-Grade Retrieval
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
Retrieval-Augmented Generation is often summarized as a three-step workflow: split documents, embed the chunks, and send the nearest results to a language model. That description is useful for a prototype, but it hides the engineering decisions that determine whether a retrieval system remains accurate, fast, and affordable under real traffic. Production retrieval is a staged decision and ranking system. A reliable ingestion path makes source material retrievable. Routing selects the…
