Episode notes
Prioritize RAG And System-Level Optimizations
- Keep up with new model releases and push new techniques for retrieval and cost/latency tradeoffs.
- Focus on advanced RAG, data representations, and system-level production challenges.
Graphs Complement Vector Retrieval
- Moving beyond vector-only retrieval matters for sophisticated data organization and retrieval.
- Graphs and richer representations can improve retrieval quality for enterprise RAG.
Dropping Work To Support Major Releases
- The team copes with fast-changing releases by pausing work and pivoting to support major vendor updates.
- Jerry says engineers become versatile 'AI full-stack' and adapt to sudden changes like OpenAI dev releases.
