Online Event: Building RAG Systems

Ask an organizer about our Slack group if you'd like to attend. We share a Zoom link in Slack just before the meeting starts. Thanks!

***

Book Club (for those interested, feel free to listen in):

Framework Design Guidelines: Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable .NET Libraries by Krzysztof Cwalina, Jeremy Barton, and Brad Abrams - Chapter 6.

We'll wrap up the meeting around 7:20 pm and the focus will switch over to a book club discussion for the last 30 minutes or so.

Meeting Overview:

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique that integrates external sources with Large Lange Models (LLMs) to provide better results. Being able to pull in relevant sources provides more context for models to draw from when generating responses. Victor Calderon will show us how to build a RAG system and give an overview of what things to consider when building your own.
