Analysis
This article provides a fantastic, practical guide to choosing between Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Fine-tuning for your Large Language Model (LLM) projects. It emphasizes a design-centric approach, focusing on update frequency and explainability, to maximize the effectiveness of your AI systems. The clear breakdown of costs and operational burdens provides invaluable insights for developers.
Key Takeaways
- •Prioritize RAG for frequently changing knowledge and Fine-tuning for stable response styles.
- •Consider annual update frequency to determine the operational load of RAG vs. Fine-tuning.
- •Hybrid approaches, combining RAG, small-scale Fine-tuning, and external tools, often provide the best solutions.
