Vectors Vs. Hallucinations: OpenSearch's GenAI Survival Kit

Shows concrete RAG pipelines that reduce hallucinations by 80%+ error reduction using OpenSearch vector storage, the k‑NN plugin and hybrid BM25+vector fusion, with examples of ingesting embeddings at scale and achieving sub-second k‑NN queries. Demonstrates chunking strategies (fixed, sentence window, parent–child), RAG over petabyte traces, eval metrics (precision, NDCG), prompt+ranker interactions, and Kubernetes deployment blueprints plus code snippets and failure autopsies for reproducible production rollouts.
