Advanced Retrieval Strategies for RAG: The Complete Guide to Dense, Hybrid, and Multi-Stage Search

Introduction: Retrieval is the foundation of RAG systems—the quality of retrieved documents directly impacts generation quality. Different retrieval strategies excel in different scenarios: dense retrieval captures semantic similarity, sparse retrieval handles exact keyword matches, and hybrid approaches combine both. This guide covers advanced retrieval techniques: embedding-based dense retrieval, BM25 and sparse methods, hybrid search strategies, […]

Prompt Templates and Versioning: Building Maintainable LLM Applications

Introduction: Production LLM applications need structured prompt management—not ad-hoc string concatenation scattered across code. Prompt templates provide reusable, parameterized prompts with consistent formatting. Versioning enables A/B testing, rollbacks, and tracking which prompts produced which results. This guide covers practical prompt template patterns: template engines and variable substitution, prompt registries, version control strategies, A/B testing frameworks, […]
