While RLHF remains foundational, RLVR has emerged as a powerful approach for training models on tasks with clear success criteria and using verifiable, objective functions as reward signals—particularly useful in domains like math, code correctness, and instruction-following. Instead of relying solely on subjective human feedback, RLVR leverages deterministic signals to guide optimization, making it more scalable and potentially more reliable across many domains. However, he notes that RLVR is still rapidly evolving, especially regarding how it handles tool use and multi-step reasoning. We also discussed the Tulu model series, a family of instruction-tuned open models developed at AI2. Tulu is designed to be a reproducible, state-of-the-art post-training recipe for the open community. Unlike frontier labs like OpenAI or Anthropic, which rely on vast and often proprietary datasets, Tulu aims to distill and democratize best practices for instruction and preference tuning. We are impressed with how small eval suites, careful task selection, and transparent methodology can rival even the best proprietary models on specific benchmarks. One of the most fascinating threads is the challenge of incorporating tool use into RL frameworks. Lambert highlights that while you can prompt a model to use tools like search or code execution, getting the model to reliably learn when and how to use them through RL is much harder. This is compounded by the difficulty of designing reward functions that avoid overoptimization—where models learn to “game” the reward signal rather than solve the underlying task. This is particularly problematic in code generation, where models might reward hack unit tests by inserting pass statements instead of correct logic. As models become more agentic and are expected to plan, retrieve, and act across multiple tools, reward design becomes a critical bottleneck. Other topics covered: - The evolution from RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) to RLVR (Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards) - The goals and technical architecture of the Tulu models, including the motivation to open-source post-training recipes - Challenges of tool use in RL: verifiability, reward design, and scaling across domains - Evaluation frameworks and the role of platforms like Chatbot Arena and emerging “arena”-style benchmarks - The strategic tension between hybrid reasoning models and unified reasoning models at the frontier - Planning, abstraction, and calibration in reasoning agents and why these concepts matter - The future of open-source AI models, including DeepSeek, OLMo, and the potential for an “American DeepSeek” - The importance of model personality, character tuning, and the model spec paradigm - Overoptimization in RL settings and how it manifests in different domains (control tasks, code, math) - Industry trends in inference-time scaling and model parallelism Finally, the episode closes with a vision for the future of open-source AI. Nathan has now written up his ambition to build an “American DeepSeek”—a fully open, end-to-end reasoning-capable model with transparent training data, tools, and infrastructure. He emphasizes that open-source AI is not just about weights; it's about releasing recipes, evaluations, and methods that lower the barrier for everyone to build and understand cutting-edge systems.

In this powerful new installment of our monthly series, Mitch Weathers, creator of Organized Binder and author of Executive Functions for Every Classroom, returns to the mic for an energizing conversation that's all about optimizing the way students think, learn, and succeed. We kick things off with an exciting announcement about our new project, The VIBE Edu Podcast, before diving into practical strategies for enhancing retrieval practices, managing cognitive load, and boosting working memory. Mitch also shares insights on meaningful student feedback and how intentional evaluation can drive deeper understanding. If you're ready to transform classroom routines into high-impact learning experiences, this episode is your blueprint. Tune in and walk away with tools to help students not just survive, but thrive. About Mitch Weathers: Mitch Weathers became an exceptional educator because he once struggled as a student. Throughout his academic journey, Mitch rarely felt comfortable in the classroom. It took him seven years to graduate from college—a reflection not of ability, but of disconnection. He often experienced education as something happening around him, not something he was actively part of. That sense of isolation fueled his desire to create a different kind of learning experience. When Mitch became a teacher, he brought with him a deep empathy for students who felt unseen or overwhelmed. He quickly realized that before we can effectively teach content, we must first build the foundation for learning. That foundation is structure, consistency, and support. To meet this need, Mitch created Organized Binder—a simple, research-backed system that empowers teachers to explicitly teach executive functioning skills without sacrificing instructional time. By establishing predictable learning routines, teachers foster safer, more inclusive classrooms where students gain confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging. Mitch's mission is to equip educators with the tools to help every student succeed—not just academically, but personally.   Follow Mitch Weathers: Website: www.organizedbinder.com  Twitter: https://twitter.com/organizedbinder  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/organizedbinder/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/organizedbinder  Linkedin:

Most LLM-powered features do not break at the model. They break at the context. So how do you retrieve the right information to get useful results, even under vague or messy user queries? In this episode, we hear from Eric Ma, who leads data science research in the Data Science and AI group at Moderna. He shares what it takes to move beyond toy demos and ship LLM features that actually help people do their jobs. We cover: • How to align retrieval with user intent and why cosine similarity is not the answer • How a dumb YAML-based system outperformed so-called smart retrieval pipelines • Why vague queries like “what is this all about” expose real weaknesses in most systems • When vibe checks are enough and when formal evaluation is worth the effort • How retrieval workflows can evolve alongside your product and user needs If you are building LLM-powered systems and care about how they work, not just whether they work, this one is for you.

In this episode of Software Engineering Radio, Abhinav Kimothi sits down with host Priyanka Raghavan to explore retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), drawing insights from Abhinav's book, A Simple Guide to Retrieval-Augmented Generation. The conversation begins with an introduction to key concepts, including large language models (LLMs), context windows, RAG, hallucinations, and real-world use cases. They then delve into the essential components and design considerations for building a RAG-enabled system, covering topics such as retrievers, prompt augmentation, indexing pipelines, retrieval strategies, and the generation process. The discussion also touches on critical aspects like data chunking and the distinctions between open-source and pre-trained models. The episode concludes with a forward-looking perspective on the future of RAG and its evolving role in the industry. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.

AI models have a defined memory ceiling, which is reshaping the ongoing debates surrounding copyright and data privacy. Recent research from Meta, Google DeepMind, Cornell, and NVIDIA reveals that large language models have a fixed memorization capacity of approximately 8.6 bits per parameter. This finding clarifies the distinction between memorized data and generalized knowledge, indicating that larger datasets do not necessarily lead to increased memorization of specific data points. This understanding is crucial as it informs the operational mechanisms of AI models and addresses concerns related to copyright infringement.Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, has introduced the term "artificial jagged intelligence" to describe the current phase of AI development, highlighting the non-linear progress and the challenges faced by researchers despite significant advancements. Pichai's perspective reflects the mixed performance of AI models, which can exhibit extraordinary capabilities alongside notable errors. This sentiment is echoed by deep learning researcher Andrej Karpathy, emphasizing the unpredictability of AI performance and the need for a more nuanced understanding of its capabilities.The rise of AI retrieval bots is transforming how users access information online, with a significant increase in traffic from these bots. Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are deploying these bots to summarize content in real-time, moving away from traditional search methods that provide links to multiple sources. This shift poses challenges for content publishers, as the growth of retrieval bots indicates a changing economic landscape where content is increasingly consumed by AI first, with human users following. Publishers may need to rethink their engagement strategies to adapt to this new reality.In the broader context of technology and cybersecurity, WhatsApp's intervention in a legal case concerning encryption and privacy rights highlights the growing role of platforms in surveillance debates. Additionally, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency faces leadership challenges amid a talent exodus, raising concerns about its operational effectiveness. As the IT services industry evolves, the integration of AI into various sectors, including hiring and cybersecurity, underscores the importance of execution, interoperability, and trust in automation. The future of technology will depend on how well businesses can navigate these changes and support their clients in making informed decisions.  Four things to know today  00:00 AI's Jagged Reality: Study Reveals Limits to Model Memory as Bots Redefine the Web Economy05:35 Cybersecurity Crossroads: WhatsApp Joins Apple in Legal Fight as U.S. Agency Leadership Crumbles08:29 AI Matures Into Infrastructure Layer as IT Vendors Shift Focus to Outcomes and Execution11:51 Legal Tech, GenAI, and Fast Food Bots All Show One Thing: Hype Doesn't Equal Success  This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

The theme of the current administration is to do more with less. Today, we hear from experts on how they have assisted in implementing Zero Trust by leveraging all resources possible.  We know implementing Zero Trust is a continuous process; David Bottom from the SEC provides guidelines on what to review constantly. He suggests focusing on decreasing privileges, patching systems, and learning how to extract meaningful signals from the flood of data entering the federal government. None of this can be done without cooperation across the agency. As an example of working with others, David Bottom references the SEC's EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval). Jennifer Franks, GAO, recommends that listeners take advantage of federal guidelines to spend as little as possible while meeting compliance goals. For example, CISA, OMB, and NIST all offer guidance in implementation. She has an excellent eight-word summary of Zero Trust: right users, proper access, at the right time. Many agencies are understaffed. As a result, one way to meet goals is to leverage the right tools. Brian "Stretch" Meyers believes the most "bang for the buck" will be achieved by using tools to establish visibility. From there, one can identify key items to reach compliance. Zero Trust is an initiative that is here to stay. Listen to the podcast to get ideas on how to optimize the staff and resources at hand.

Today, we're joined by Sebastian Gehrmann, head of responsible AI in the Office of the CTO at Bloomberg, to discuss AI safety in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and generative AI in high-stakes domains like financial services. We explore how RAG, contrary to some expectations, can inadvertently degrade model safety. We cover examples of unsafe outputs that can emerge from these systems, different approaches to evaluating these safety risks, and the potential reasons behind this counterintuitive behavior. Shifting to the application of generative AI in financial services, Sebastian outlines a domain-specific safety taxonomy designed for the industry's unique needs. We also explore the critical role of governance and regulatory frameworks in addressing these concerns, the role of prompt engineering in bolstering safety, Bloomberg's multi-layered mitigation strategies, and vital areas for further work in improving AI safety within specialized domains.

Retrieval Costs

AFCEA'S TechNet Cyber conference held in Baltimore, Maryland was the perfect opportunity to sit down with Greg Carl, Principal Technologist from Pure Storage. Pure Storage is used by 175 federal agencies.  Time to sit down from a subject matter expert and explain their value proposition. Today's federal government is attempting to accomplish digital modernization through a move to the cloud and, at the same time, reduce staff.  To multiply the risk associated with this endeavor, we see an increase in cyber attacks on data at rest, in transit, and while in use.  Greg Carl drills down on how Pure Storage can help federal leaders in several areas, he begins with Retrieval Augmented Generation, RAG. People have jumped into AI without knowing how to structure a large language model, the popular LLM.  RAG focuses on text generation and tries to make sure the data collected is accurate, relevant, and contextually aware. Pure Storage asks, if RAG protects the results of a query, what protects the “Retrieval” part of RAG.  We know LLMs are being attacked every day.  Malicious code could be placed in a LLM, and the RAG system might not know. A decade ago, backups were child's play.  A server down the hall, a backup appliance.  Today, one needs an agile cloud solution to perform continuous backups in a hybrid world.  One way to gain resilience is to use immutable backups where the attacked system can be restored and not lose valuable time. Speed and security handling important data activities can reduce costs for federal leaders by improving accuracy of LLMs and speed the time to recover after an attack.

Retrieval practice is the act of trying to recall something you learned from memory by doing things like taking a test or using flashcards instead of just looking at, rereading, or reviewing the information. When we study with retrieval, we learn and remember things much better than we do by other review methods. So how do we add more to our classrooms? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Pooja Agarwal, editor of the book Smart Teaching Stronger Learning, and two of the book's authors, Dr. Janell Blunt and Dr. Michelle Rivers, to learn nine simple, easy, and fun retrieval strategies that can be added to any lesson.

As is tradition, Mike and Matt have so much more fun talking and watching the filler arcs than the actual canon storylines. Mike gushes about the kung fu dugong, Matt compares Breed to Foxy and also points out that LRLL still rules, and the bois give their usual banter about anything and everything that comes to their minds. Matt does inappropriate things during the Buggywatch and Mike may or may not get taken over by Donflamingo AGAIN.

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) AI:In this episode, host Evan Reid sits down with data strategy expert Heather Harris, PhD and developer Mohammed Afnan Waseem for an in-depth conversation on the opportunities and challenges of deploying Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) AI systems. The discussion begins with an exploration of data strategy, focusing on the importance of understanding proprietary data, questions around data ownership, and how RAG systems retrieve and apply information in real time. The panel then breaks down system design fundamentals, highlighting key components such as embeddings and vectorization, while also addressing infrastructure considerations using cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. They dive into the risks associated with using proprietary data in AI, including concerns over intellectual property, data security, and potential legal implications. The conversation also touches on policy considerations, including the development of AI governance frameworks.

Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s… Christopher S. Penn – 00:02 Talk about RAG—Retrieval augmented generation. Christopher S. Penn – 00:06 What is it? Christopher S. Penn – 00:07 Why do we care about it? Christopher S. Penn – 00:09 So Katie, I know you’re going in kind of blind on this. What do you know about retrieval augmented generation? Katie Robbert – 00:17 I knew we were going to be talking about this, but I purposely didn’t do any research because I wanted to see how much I thought I understood already just based on. So if I take apart just even the words Retrieval augmented generation, I think retrieval means it has… Katie Robbert – 00:41 To go find something augmented, meaning it’s… Katie Robbert – 00:44 Going to add on to something existing and then generation means it’s going to do something. So it’s going to find data added on to the whatever is existing, whatever that is, and then create something. So that’s my basic. But obviously, that doesn’t mean anything. So we have to put it in… Katie Robbert – 01:05 The context of generative AI. Katie Robbert – 01:07 So what am I missing? Christopher S. Penn – 01:09 Believe it or not, you’re not missing a whole lot. That’s actually a good encapsulation. Happy Monday. Retrieval augmented generation is a system for bringing in contextual knowledge to a prompt so that generative AI can do a better job. Probably one of the most well-known and easiest-to-use systems like this is Google’s free NotebookLM where you just put in a bunch of documents. It does all the work—the technical stuff of tokenization and embeddings and all that stuff. And then you can chat with your documents and say, ‘Well, what’s in this?’ In our examples, we’ve used the letters from the corner office books that we’ve written every year, and those are all of your cold opens from the newsletter. Christopher S. Penn – 01:58 And so you can go to a notebook and say, ‘What has Katie written about the five Ps?’ And it will list an exhaustive list. Christopher S. Penn – 02:07 Behind the scenes, there’s a bunch of… Christopher S. Penn – 02:10 Technical things that are going on. There is a database of some kind. There is a querying system that your generative AI tool knows to ask the database, and then you can constrain the system. So you can say, ‘I only want you to use this database,’ or you can use this database plus your other knowledge that you’ve already been trained on. Christopher S. Penn – 02:34 What’s important to know is that retrieval augmented generation, at least out-of-the-box, goes when you write that first prompt. Essentially what it does is it copies and pastes the relevant information for the database back into the prompt and then sends that onto the system. Christopher S. Penn – 02:48 So it all in a vanilla retrieval augmented generation system… Christopher S. Penn – 02:53 It only queries the database once. Katie Robbert – 02:56 So it sounds a lot like prior to generative AI being a thing, back when Chris, you and I were struggling through the coal mines of big enterprise companies. It sounds a lot like when my company was like, ‘Hey, we… Katie Robbert – 03:15 ‘Just got SharePoint and we’re going to… Katie Robbert – 03:17 ‘Build an intranet that’s going to be a data repository for everything, basically like an internal wiki.’ And it makes me cringe. Katie Robbert – 03:26 Every time I hear someone say the… Katie Robbert – 03:27 Word wiki meaning, like a Wikipedia, which is almost like what I—I can’t think of the word. Oh my God, it’s been so long. Katie Robbert – 03:43 All of those books that… Katie Robbert – 03:45 You look up things in encyclopedia. Katie Robbert – 03:47 Thank you. Katie Robbert – 03:48 Oh, my goodness. But it becomes like that internal encyclopedia of knowledge about your company or whatever. The thing is that topic, like there’s fandom, Wikipedias, and that kind of thing. In a very basic way, it kind of… Katie Robbert – 04:04 Sounds like that where you say, ‘Here’s all the information about one specific thing.’ Katie Robbert – 04:10 Now you can query it. Christopher S. Penn – 04:14 In many ways. It kind of is what separates it from older legacy databases and systems. Is that because you’re prompting in natural language, you don’t have to know how to write a SQL query. Christopher S. Penn – 04:27 You can just say, ‘We’re going to talk about this.’ And ideally, a RAG system is configured with relevant data from your data store. So if you have a SharePoint, for example, and you have Microsoft Copilot and… Christopher S. Penn – 04:42 You have Microsoft Knowledge Graph and you… Christopher S. Penn – 04:43 Have—you swiped the credit card so many times for Microsoft that you basically have a Microsoft-only credit card—then Copilot should be aware of all the documents in your Office 365 environment and in your SharePoint and stuff. And then be able to say, ‘Okay, Katie’s asking about accounting receipts from 2023.’ And it’s vectorized and converted all the knowledge into the specific language, the specific format that generative AI requires. And then when you write the prompt… Christopher S. Penn – 05:21 ‘Show me the accounting receipts that Chris… Christopher S. Penn – 05:23 ‘Filed from 2023, because I’m looking for inappropriate purchases like he charged $280 to McDonald’s.’ It would be able to go and… Christopher S. Penn – 05:33 Find the associated content within your internal… Christopher S. Penn – 05:36 Knowledge base and return and say, ‘Chris did in fact spend $80 at McDonald’s and we’re not sure why.’ Katie Robbert – 05:43 Nobody knows. Christopher S. Penn – 05:44 Nobody knows. Katie Robbert – 05:45 Well, okay, so retrieval augmented generation basically sounds like a system, a database that says, ‘This is the information I’m allowed to query.’ So someone’s going to ask me a… Katie Robbert – 06:01 Question and I’m going to bring it… Katie Robbert – 06:02 Back. At a very basic level, how is that different from a search engine where you ask a question, it brings back information, or a generative AI… Katie Robbert – 06:14 System now, such as a ChatGPT or… Katie Robbert – 06:16 A Google Gemini, where you say, ‘What are the best practices for SEO in 2025?’ How is this—how is retrieval augmented generation different than how we think about working with generative AI today? Christopher S. Penn – 06:33 Fundamentally, a RAG system is different because… Christopher S. Penn – 06:36 You are providing the data store and… Christopher S. Penn – 06:38 You may be constraining the AI to… Christopher S. Penn – 06:40 Say, ‘You may only use this information,’ or ‘You may—you should use this information first.’ Christopher S. Penn – 06:47 So let’s say, for example, to your… Christopher S. Penn – 06:48 Point, I want to write a blog post about project management and how to be an effective project manager. And I had a system like Pinecone or Weaviate or Milvus connected to the AI system of our choice, and in that was all the blog posts and newsletters you’ve ever written in the system configuration itself. I might say for any prompts that we pass this thing, ‘You can only use Katie’s newsletters.’ Or I might say, ‘You should use Katie’s newsletters first.’ So if I say, ‘Write a blog post about project management,’ it would refer… Christopher S. Penn – 07:25 To your knowledge first and draw from that first. And then if it couldn’t complete the… Christopher S. Penn – 07:29 Task, you would then go to its own knowledge or outside to other sources. So it’s a way of prioritizing certain kinds of information. Where you say, ‘This is the way I want it to be done.’ If you think about the Repel framework or the RACE framework that we use for prompting that context, or that priming… Christopher S. Penn – 07:47 Part is the RAG system. So instead of us saying, ‘What do… Christopher S. Penn – 07:50 ‘Know about this topic? What are the best practices? What are the common mistakes?’ Instead, you’re saying, ‘Here’s a whole big pile of data. Pick and choose from it the stuff that you think is most relevant, and then use that for the rest of the conversation.’ Katie Robbert – 08:04 And if you’re interested in learning more about the Repel framework, you can get… Katie Robbert – 08:08 That at TrustInsights.ai/repel. Now, okay, as I’m trying to wrap my head around this, how is retrieval augmented generation different from creating a custom… Katie Robbert – 08:22 Model with a knowledge base? Katie Robbert – 08:24 Or is it the same thing? Christopher S. Penn – 08:26 That’s the same thing, but at a much larger scale. When you create something like a GPT where you upload documents, there’s a limit. Christopher S. Penn – 08:34 It’s 10 megabytes per file, and I… Christopher S. Penn – 08:36 Think it’s 10 or either 10 or 20 files. So there’s a limit to how much data you can cram into that. If, for example, you wanted to make a system that would accurately respond about US Tax code is a massive database of laws. Christopher S. Penn – 08:51 It is. If I remember, there was once this visualization. Somebody put—printed out the US Tax code and put it on a huge table. The table collapsed because it was so heavy, and it was hundreds of thousands of pages. You can’t put that in knowledge—in knowledge files. There’s just too much of it. But what you can do is you could download it, put it into this one of these retrieval augmented generation databases. Christopher S. Penn – 09:15 And then say, ‘When I ask you… Christopher S. Penn – 09:17 ‘Tax questions, you may only use this database.’ Christopher S. Penn – 09:20 And so out of the hundreds of millions of pages of tax code, if I say, ‘How do I declare an exemption on Form 8829?’ It will go into that specific knowledge base and fish out the relevant portion. So think of it like NotebookLM with an unlimited amount of data you can upload. Katie Robbert – 09:41 So it sounds like a couple of things. One, it sounds like in order to use retrieval augmented generation correctly, you have… Katie Robbert – 09:49 To have some kind of expertise around what it is you’re going to query. Otherwise, you’re basically at a general Internet… Katie Robbert – 09:57 Search saying, ‘How do I get exemptions from tax, Form 8829?’ It’s just going to look for everything because you’re looking for everything because you don’t know specifically. Otherwise, you would have said, ‘Bring me to the U.S. Tax database…’ Katie Robbert – 10:17 ‘That specifically talks about Form 8820.’ You would have known that already. Katie Robbert – 10:23 So it sounds like, number one, you can’t get around again with—we talked about every week—there has to be some kind of subject matter expertise in order to make these things work. Katie Robbert – 10:36 And then number two, you have to have some way to give the system a knowledge block or access to the… Katie Robbert – 10:44 Information in order for it to be true. Retrieval augmented generation. Katie Robbert – 10:49 I keep saying it in the hopes that the words will stick. It’s almost like when you meet someone. Katie Robbert – 10:53 And you keep saying their name over and over again in the hopes that you’ll remember it. I’m hoping that I’m going to remember the phrase retrieval… Katie Robbert – 11:01 Just call it RAG, but I need to know what it stands for. Christopher S. Penn – 11:04 Yes. Katie Robbert – 11:05 Okay, so those are the two things that it sounds like need to be true. So if I’m your everyday marketer, which I am, I’m not overly technical. I understand technical theories and I understand technical practices. But if I’m not necessarily a power user of generative AI like you are, Chris, what are some—why do I need to understand what retrieval augmented generation is? How would I use this thing? Christopher S. Penn – 11:32 For the general marketer, there is not… Christopher S. Penn – 11:35 As many use cases for RAG as… Christopher S. Penn – 11:37 There is for others. So let me give you a really good example of where it is a prime use case. You are a healthcare system. You have patient data. You cannot load that to NotebookLM, but you absolutely could create a RAG system internally and then allow—within your own secured network—doctors to query all of the medical records to say, ‘Have we seen a case like this before? Hey, this person came in with these symptoms.’ Christopher S. Penn – 12:03 ‘What else have we seen?’ Christopher S. Penn – 12:04 ‘Are there similar outcomes that we can… Christopher S. Penn – 12:07 ‘We can go back and use as… Christopher S. Penn – 12:08 Sort of your own internal knowledge base with data that has to be protected. For the average marketing, I’m writing a social media post. You’re not going to use RAG because there’s no point in doing that. If you had confidential information or proprietary information that you did not feel comfortable loading into a NotebookLM, then a RAG system would make sense. So if you were to say maybe you have a new piece of software that your company is going to be rolling out and the developers actually did their job and wrote documentation and you didn’t want Google to be aware of it—wow, I know we’re in science fiction land here—you might load that to a RAG system, say, ‘Now let me help me… Christopher S. Penn – 12:48 ‘Write social posts about the features of… Christopher S. Penn – 12:50 ‘This new product and I don’t want anyone else to know about it.’ So super secret that even no matter what our contracts and service level agreements say, I just can’t put this in. Or I’m an agency and I’m working with client data and our contract says we may not use third parties. Regardless of the reason, no matter how safe you think it is, your contract says you cannot use third party. So you would build a RAG system internally for that client data and then query it because your contract says you can’t use NotebookLM. Katie Robbert – 13:22 Is it a RAG system if I… Katie Robbert – 13:26 Create a custom model with my brand… Katie Robbert – 13:28 Guidelines and my tone and use that model to outline content even though I’m searching the rest of the Internet for my top five best practices for SEO, but written as Katie Robbert from Trust Insights? Is it… Christopher S. Penn – 13:49 In a way, but it doesn’t use the… Christopher S. Penn – 13:51 Full functionality of a RAG system. Christopher S. Penn – 13:53 It doesn’t have the vector database underlying and stuff like that. From an outcome perspective, it’s the same thing. You get the outcome you want, which is prefer my stuff first. I mean, that’s really fundamentally what Retrieval Augmented Generation is about. It’s us saying, ‘Hey, AI model, you don’t understand this topic well.’ Like, if you were writing content about SEO and you notice that AI is spitting out SEO tips from 2012, you’re like, ‘Okay, clearly you don’t know SEO as well as we do.’ You might use a RAG system to say, ‘This is what we know to be true about SEO in 2025.’ Christopher S. Penn – 14:34 ‘You may only use this information because… Christopher S. Penn – 14:36 ‘I don’t trust that you’re going to do it right.’ Katie Robbert – 14:41 It’s interesting because what you’re describing sounds—and this is again, I’m just trying to wrap my brain around it. Katie Robbert – 14:48 It sounds a lot like giving a knowledge block to a custom model. Christopher S. Penn – 14:53 And it very much is. Katie Robbert – 14:54 Okay. Because I’m like, ‘Am I missing something?’ And I feel like when we start to use proper terminology like retrieval augmented generation, that’s where the majority of… Katie Robbert – 15:05 Us get nervous of like, ‘Oh, no, it’s something new that I have to try to understand.’ Katie Robbert – 15:09 But really, it’s what we’ve been doing all along. We’re just now understanding the proper terminology. Katie Robbert – 15:16 For something and that it does have… Katie Robbert – 15:18 More advanced features and capabilities. But for your average marketer, or maybe even your advanced marketer, you’re not going… Katie Robbert – 15:28 To need to use a retrieval augmented generation system to its full capacity, because… Katie Robbert – 15:34 That’s just not the nature of the work that you’re doing. And that’s what I’m trying to understand is it sounds like for marketers, for B2B marketers, B2C marketers, even operations, even project managers, sales teams, the everyday, you probably don’t need a RAG system. Katie Robbert – 15:59 I am thinking now, as I’m saying… Katie Robbert – 16:00 It out loud, if you have a sales playbook, that might be something that would be good proprietary to your company. Here’s how we do awareness. Katie Robbert – 16:12 Here’s how we do consideration, here’s how… Katie Robbert – 16:14 We close deals, here’s the… Katie Robbert – 16:16 Special pricing for certain people whose name end in Y and, on Tuesdays they get a purple discount. Katie Robbert – 16:23 And whatever the thing is, that is. Katie Robbert – 16:26 The information that you would want to load into, like a NotebookLM system. Katie Robbert – 16:30 Keep it off of public channels, and use that as your retrieval augmented generation system as you’re training new salespeople, as people are on the… Katie Robbert – 16:41 Fly closing, ‘Oh, wow, I have 20 deals in front of me and I… Katie Robbert – 16:43 ‘Can’t remember what six discount… Katie Robbert – 16:46 ‘Codes we’re offering on Thursdays. Let me go ahead and query the system as I’m talking and get the information.’ Katie Robbert – 16:51 Is that more of a realistic use case? Christopher S. Penn – 16:55 To a degree, yes. Christopher S. Penn – 16:57 Think about it. The knowledge block is perfect because we provide those knowledge blocks. We write up, ‘Here’s what Trust Insights is, here’s who it does.’ Think of a RAG system as a system that can generate a relevant knowledge block dynamically on the fly. Christopher S. Penn – 17:10 So for folks who don’t know, every Monday and Friday, Trust Insights, we have an internal checkpoint call. We check—go through all of our clients and stuff like that. And we record those; we have the transcripts of those. That’s a lot. That’s basically an hour-plus of audio every week. It’s 6,000 words. And on those calls, we discuss everything from our dogs to sales things. I would never want to try to include all 500 transcripts of the company into an AI prompt. Christopher S. Penn – 17:40 It would just blow up. Christopher S. Penn – 17:41 Even the biggest model today, even Meta Llama’s… Christopher S. Penn – 17:44 New 10 million token context window, it would just explode. I would create a database, a RAG system that would create all the relevant embeddings and things and put that there. And then when I say, ‘What neat… Christopher S. Penn – 17:57 ‘Marketing ideas have we come up with… Christopher S. Penn – 17:58 ‘In the last couple of years?’ It would go into the database and… Christopher S. Penn – 18:02 Fish out only the pieces that are relevant to marketing ideas. Christopher S. Penn – 18:05 Because a RAG system is controlled by… Christopher S. Penn – 18:08 The quality of the prompt you use. Christopher S. Penn – 18:10 It would then fish out from all 500 transcripts marketing ideas, and it would… Christopher S. Penn – 18:16 Essentially build the knowledge block on the… Christopher S. Penn – 18:18 Fly, jam it into the prompt at… Christopher S. Penn – 18:20 The end, and then that goes into… Christopher S. Penn – 18:22 Your AI system model of choice. And if it’s Chat GPT or Gemini or whatever, it will then spit out, ‘Hey, based on five years’ worth of Trust Insights sales and weekly calls, here are the ideas that you came up with.’ So that’s a really good example of where that RAG system would come into play. If you have, for example… Christopher S. Penn – 18:43 A quarterly strategic retreat of all your… Christopher S. Penn – 18:46 Executives and you have days and days of audio and you’re like, at the end of your… Christopher S. Penn – 18:52 Three-year plan, ‘How do we do… Christopher S. Penn – 18:53 ‘With our three-year master strategy?’ You would load all that into a RAG system, say, ‘What are the main strategic ideas we came up with over the last three years?’ And it’d be able to spit that out. And then you could have a conversation with just that knowledge block that it generated by itself. Katie Robbert – 19:09 You can’t bring up these… Katie Robbert – 19:11 Ideas on these podcast recordings and then… Katie Robbert – 19:13 Not actually build them for me. That, because these are really good use cases. And I’m like, ‘Okay, yeah, so where’s that thing? I need that.’ But what you’re doing is you’re giving that real-world demonstration of when a retrieval augmented generation system is actually applicable. Katie Robbert – 19:34 When is it not applicable? I think that’s equally as important. Katie Robbert – 19:37 We’ve talked a little bit about, oh, if you’re writing a blog post or that kind of thing. Katie Robbert – 19:41 You probably don’t need it. Katie Robbert – 19:42 But where—I guess maybe, let me rephrase. Katie Robbert – 19:45 Where do you see people using those… Katie Robbert – 19:47 Systems incorrectly or inefficiently? Christopher S. Penn – 19:50 They use them for things where there’s public data. So for example, almost every generative AI system now has web search built into it. So if you’re saying, ‘What are the best practices for SEO in 2025?’ You don’t need a separate database for that. Christopher S. Penn – 20:07 You don’t need the overhead, the administration, and stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 20:10 Just when a simple web query would have done, you don’t need it to assemble knowledge blocks that are relatively static. So for example, maybe you want to do a wrap-up of SEO best practices in 2025. So you go to Google deep research and OpenAI deep research and Perplexity Deep Research and you get some reports and you merge them together. You don’t need a RAG system for that. These other tools have stepped in. Christopher S. Penn – 20:32 To provide that synthesis for you, which… Christopher S. Penn – 20:34 We cover in our new generative AI use cases course, which you can find at Trust Insights AI Use cases course. I think we have a banner for that somewhere. I think it’s at the bottom in those cases. Yeah, you don’t need a RAG system for that because you’re providing the knowledge block. Christopher S. Penn – 20:51 A RAG system is necessary when you… Christopher S. Penn – 20:52 Have too much knowledge to put into a knowledge block. When you don’t have that problem, you don’t need a RAG system. And if the data is out there on the Internet, don’t reinvent the wheel. Katie Robbert – 21:08 But shiny objects and differentiators. Katie Robbert – 21:12 And competitive advantage and smart things. Christopher S. Penn – 21:16 I mean, people do talk about agentic RAG where you have AI agents repeatedly querying the database for improvements, which there are use cases for that. One of the biggest use cases for that is encoding, where you have a really big system, you load all of your code into your own internal RAG, and then you can have your coding agents reference your own code, figure out what code is in your code base, and then make changes to it that way. That’s a good use of that type of system. But for the average marketer, that is ridiculous. There’s no reason to that. That’s like taking your fighter jet to the grocery store. It’s vast overkill. When a bicycle would have done just fine. Katie Robbert – 22:00 When I hear the term agentic retrieval augmented generation system, I think of that image of the snake eating its tail because it’s just going to go around… Katie Robbert – 22:11 And around and around and around forever. Christopher S. Penn – 22:15 It’s funny you mentioned that because that’s a whole other topic. The Ouroboros—the snake eating scale—is a topic that maybe we’ll cover on a future show about how new models like Llama 4 that just came out on Saturday, how they’re being trained, they’re… Christopher S. Penn – 22:30 Being trained on their own synthetic data. So it really is. The Ouroboros is consuming its own tail. And there’s some interesting implications for that. Christopher S. Penn – 22:36 But that’s another show. Katie Robbert – 22:38 Yeah, I already have some gut reactions to that. So we can certainly make sure we get that episode recorded. That’s next week’s show. All right, so it sounds like for everyday use, you don’t necessarily need to… Katie Robbert – 22:54 Worry about having a retrieval augmented generation system in place. What you should have is knowledge blocks. Katie Robbert – 23:01 About what’s proprietary to your company, what you guys do, who you are, that kind of stuff that in… Katie Robbert – 23:08 And of itself is good enough. Katie Robbert – 23:10 To give to any generative AI system to say, ‘I want you to look at this information.’ That’s a good start. If you have proprietary data like personally identifying information, patient information, customer information—that’s where you would probably want to build… Katie Robbert – 23:27 More of a true retrieval augmented generation… Katie Robbert – 23:30 System so that you’re querying only that… Katie Robbert – 23:32 Information in a controlled environment. Christopher S. Penn – 23:35 Yep. Christopher S. Penn – 23:36 And on this week’s Livestream, we’re going… Christopher S. Penn – 23:37 To cover a couple of different systems. So we’ll look at NotebookLM and… Christopher S. Penn – 23:42 That should be familiar to everyone. Christopher S. Penn – 23:43 If it’s not, it needs to get on your radar. Soon. We’ll look at anythingLLM, which is how you can build a RAG system that is essentially no tech setup on your own laptop, assuming your laptop can run those systems. And then we can talk about setting up like a Pinecone or Weaviate or a Milvus for an organization. Because there are RAG systems you can run locally on your computer that are unique to you and those are actually a really good idea, and you can talk about that on the livestream. But then there’s the institutional version, which has much higher overhead for administration. But as we talked about in the use cases in this episode, there may be really good reasons to do that. Katie Robbert – 24:22 And if you are interested in that… Katie Robbert – 24:24 Livestream, that’ll be Thursday at 1:00 PM Eastern. Katie Robbert – 24:27 You can catch us on our YouTube channel, Trust Insights. Trust Insights AI YouTube and unsurprisingly, Chris. Katie Robbert – 24:34 I’m assuming we’re going to start with the 5P framework, because before you start building things, you probably have to have… Katie Robbert – 24:40 A good solid understanding of why you’re building it, how you’re going to build… Katie Robbert – 24:46 It, how it’s going to be used. Katie Robbert – 24:47 So if you’re a fan of the 5Ps like I am, tune in because… Katie Robbert – 24:51 We’ll be covering that first. Christopher S. Penn – 24:52 Exactly. Because there’s a very good sort of flowchart. Do you need RAG, yes or no? That before you start with the technology? Because like we said in this episode… Christopher S. Penn – 25:02 There’s a lot of places where it… Christopher S. Penn – 25:03 Just it’s overkill or it doesn’t make any sense to do it. All right, so if you’ve got some things you want to share about your experiences with RAG or you have questions about retrieval augmented generation, pop on by our free Slack group.
