Maximizing Generative AI with Customized LLMs

read time: 10 minutes


This article explores the importance of customizing Large Language Models (LLMs) for generative AI coding tools. It discusses three methods: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), In-context learning, and Fine-tuning. The article emphasizes the benefits of these methods in improving coding efficiency, information discovery, and collaboration between technical and non-technical teams.

Evaluating RAG Metrics Across Different Retrieval Methods

read time: 8 minutes
This article explores the evaluation of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) metrics across different retrieval methods. It discusses the performance of basic, Parent Document, and Ensemble retrievers in terms of context precision, faithfulness, answer relevancy, context recall, context relevancy, answer correctness, and answer similarity. The Ensemble Retriever, which combines sparse and dense retrievers, shows a balanced performance across multiple metrics, making it a robust choice for RAG applications.
