rag_type'auto' | 'llm_only' | 'rag' | 'hyde1' | 'hyde2' | 'rag+' | 'all_data'

RAG type options:

  • auto - Automatically select the best rag_type.
  • llm_only LLM Only - Answer the query without any supporting document contexts. Requires 1 LLM call.
  • rag RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) - Use supporting document contexts to answer the query. Requires 1 LLM call.
  • hyde1 LLM Only + RAG composite - HyDE RAG (Hypothetical Document Embedding). Use 'LLM Only' response to find relevant contexts from a collection for generating a response. Requires 2 LLM calls.
  • hyde2 HyDE + RAG composite - Use the 'HyDE RAG' response to find relevant contexts from a collection for generating a response. Requires 3 LLM calls.
  • rag+ Summary RAG - Like RAG, but uses more context and recursive summarization to overcome LLM context limits. Keeps all retrieved chunks, puts them in order, adds neighboring chunks, then uses the summary API to get the answer. Can require several LLM calls.
  • all_data All Data RAG - Like Summary RAG, but includes all document chunks. Uses recursive summarization to overcome LLM context limits. Can require several LLM calls.
