Intro to RAG and Vector Databases for AI

WE'RE AT THE NEW LOCATION!!!

NOTE: Our classes are for any one of any level who is interested in the subject.

"They" say that RAG is DEAD! "They" also need to justify a trillion dollars in Cap Ex...

RAG or Retrieval Augmented Generation is the system used to provide your "AI" with a knowledge base so that it can answer questions specific to your organization. You can add all of your documents and files and when someone asks your AI a question the RAG system will find specific information from the files that pertains to your question and sends that data with your query to the LLM.

This process uses something called a Vector Database, which is technically more complicated than SQL, but from a practical sense isn't overly complicated to setup and run.

We'll discuss RAG, Vector Databases, Symantec Searching, Embeddings and how all of this is used to create a system that is actually useful.

This class will go over:

• RAG
• Vector Databases
• Embeddings
• Symantec Searches
• Chunking Data
• RAG on SQLite
• and more...

Note 2: We don't have any food/ drink sponsors so please eat beforehand, or... bring enough for the class!

Note 3: This will be at American Underground after normal hours. I will send out the key code to get into the building before the class so make sure to look in your email for the code before you come. I will be in the classroom by 5pm. Please feel free to come early to talk or setup your computer.
