Claim: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) cuts hallucinations and is far cheaper than re‑training foundation models while letting LLMs use up‑to‑date data. Implements event-driven pipelines with LangStream connecting Kafka/Pulsar sources to vector stores like Astra DB, Pinecone or Milvus, using ANN for nearest‑neighbor embeddings and declarative YAML pipelines. Demo uses Docker plus an OpenAI key and LangChain/LlamaIndex connectors; one notable metric cited is 1 million users in 5 days for GPT‑3.5.
