Explains how to ground LLMs with retrieval using vector embeddings and concrete tooling: uses Azure AI Search and Blob Storage to index brochures, creating 3 PDFs into 12 chunks and returning matching chunks to the model; recommends chunking, overlapping, and summary embeddings to avoid the ~8k token input limit. Notes embedding sizes (e.g. text-embedding-ada-002 ≈1500 dims, OpenAI embedding-3 large ≈3000) and cost issues including a cited training cost ~$700M for large models, and shows a working demo web app.
