RAG vs Fine-tuning: which one is better for your AI project?
Session en anglais - Intermédiaire
RAG integrates external knowledge sources to improve performance by retrieving relevant documents during inference, making it ideal for tasks that require dynamic, up-to-date information. In contrast, Fine-tuning adapts pre-trained models to specific tasks through supervised learning, optimizing performance within static, well-defined domains. We analyze the trade-offs in terms of data requirements, deployment flexibility, cost, and use cases.
