Architecture of the week
RAG System
Retrieval-augmented generation: ground the LLM in your private data by retrieving relevant chunks and injecting them into the prompt.
Embedding modelVector database (pgvector/Pinecone)Reranker (Cohere/sentence-transformers)LLMIngestion pipeline

The query is embedded and used to search a vector database for relevant chunks. Candidates are reranked by a cross-encoder, the top results become the LLM context, and the model generates a grounded answer with citations.

Engineering challenge
Good Retrieval, Bad Answers
RAGIntermediate

Your RAG system over internal docs has excellent retrieval scores (recall@5 = 0.91) but users complain the answers are wrong, vague or cite the wrong source. Diagnose the problem.

FDE scenario of the week
Financial Services Policy Assistant
Financial Services

A tier-1 bank wants an AI assistant over internal policies, procedures and customer-support documentation. Support agents should get instant, cited answers to policy questions. Compliance must be able to audit every query and answer. Data access must respect role-based permissions.
