Introduction: Basic RAG retrieves documents and stuffs them into context. Advanced RAG transforms retrieval into a sophisticated pipeline that dramatically improves answer quality. This guide covers the techniques that separate production RAG systems from prototypes: query rewriting to improve retrieval, hybrid search combining dense and sparse methods, cross-encoder reranking for precision, contextual compression to fit […]

Introduction: Deploying LLMs to production is fundamentally different from deploying traditional ML models. The models are massive, inference is computationally expensive, and latency requirements are stringent. This guide covers the strategies that make LLM deployment practical: model optimization techniques like quantization and pruning, inference serving with batching and caching, containerization with GPU support, auto-scaling based […]

Introduction: Multimodal AI processes and generates content across multiple modalities—text, images, audio, and video. This capability enables applications that were previously impossible: describing images, generating images from text, transcribing and understanding audio, and creating unified experiences that combine all these modalities. This guide covers the practical aspects of building multimodal applications: vision-language models for image […]
