Ep67: Why RAG Fails LLMs – And How to Finally Fix It

AI is lying to you—here’s why. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) was supposed to fix AI hallucinations, but it’s failing. In this episode, we break down the limitations of naïve RAG, the rise of dense retrieval, and how new approaches like Agentic RAG, RePlug, and RAG Fusion are revolutionizing AI search accuracy.

🔍 Key Insights:

• Why naïve RAG fails and leads to bad retrieval
• How Contriever & Dense Retrieval improve accuracy
• RePlug’s approach to refining AI queries
• Why RAG Fusion is a game-changer for AI search
• The future of AI retrieval beyond vector databases

If you’ve ever wondered why LLMs still struggle with real knowledge retrieval, this is the episode you need!
