Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Retrieval-Augmented Generation — A generation architecture that retrieves external information at request time and supplies selected evidence to a language model as additional context.

RAG does not update model parameters; it supplies external context at inference time and therefore depends heavily on retrieval and context-construction quality.
