Tips for Getting the Generation Part Right in Retrieval Augmented Generation

Results from experiments to evaluate and compare GPT-4, Claude 2.1, and Claude 3.0 Opus

New evaluations of RAG systems are published seemingly every day, and many of them focus on the retrieval stage of the framework. However, the generation aspect — how a model synthesizes and articulates this retrieved information — may hold equal if not greater significance in practice. Many use cases in production are not simply returning a fact from the …
