Behind the claim, none other than the initial creators of RAG.

And while this is a huge improvement over the status quo of production-grade Generative AI, one question lingers over this entire subspace: is RAG counting its last days, and are these innovations simply beating a dead horse?

What this means is that pre-training is a one-off exercise (unlike continual learning methods). In other words, LLMs have β€˜seen’ data until a certain point in time.
