RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)

A guide to the best B2B podcast coverage of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) - the shows and 24 episodes that go deepest, ranked by substance, not downloads.

RAG systems are increasingly central to enterprise AI implementations, yet their practical limitations are becoming clear as organizations move beyond proof-of-concept. Episode #769 with Alex Bowcut examines whether RAG is truly dead based on lessons from deploying AI in tax law, while other episodes explore complementary approaches like fine-tuning open source models for specialized domains like network engineering and optimizing content strategy for answer engines. For operators evaluating RAG versus alternative architectures, these discussions ground the tradeoffs in real deployment experience rather than theory.
