Unlocking the Potential of Large Language Models

Demonstrates Retrieval-Augmented Generation that cuts hallucinations by fetching relevant passages, using LangChain to orchestrate embeddings into a vector store and returning top five results into a prompt. Claims embeddings are costly so start small, uses Gemini Pro for generation, and shows a prototype (ebook → chunking → embeddings → query) whose poor chunking breaks the demo — a concrete lesson in how chunk size, indexing, and embedding cost determine whether RAG actually works.
