Improving Local RAG with Adaptive Retrieval using Mistral, Ollama and Pathway

Hi r/machinelearningnews , we previously shared an [adaptive rag](https://pathway.com/developers/showcases/adaptive-rag/) technique that reduces the average LLM cost while increasing the accuracy in RAG applications with an adaptive number of context documents. 

People were interested in seeing the same technique with open source models, without relying on OpenAI.  We successfully replicated the work with a fully local setup, using `Mistral 7B` and open-source embedding models.  

In the showcase, we explain how to build local and adaptive RAG with Pathway. Provide three embedding …
