A Transformative Shift with Retrieval Augmented Generation as a Service (RAGaaS)
A Transformative Shift with Retrieval Augmented Generation as a Service (RAGaaS)
The integration of retrieval augmented generation in cloud services is transforming how organizations implement GenAI. By 2028, Gartner®, predicts that "80% of business generative AI applications implemented by RAG approach will use organizations' existing data management platforms (including LDW/lakehouse) as the knowledge source, increasing from less than 20% today."
