I would like to see how each recipe performs against its corresponding evals. Some sort of ranking would be useful.

Everyone keeps posting articles about how to implement RAG, but I also wonder why there isn’t some sort of skill to help people create a simple retrieval plan, starting with the retrieval methods and connecting them with evals. This could show whether they actually improve the result and make retrieval simpler for any agent, instead of making people start from zero.

It seems not many RAG compare themselves across the same benchmarks. https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/ Does an ok job. The part I don’t see being discuss is the whole RL agents writing code to perform RAG queries. It’s one thing haiku-rag does that’s interesting and would like to know what other RAG have that agentic querying with benchmarks

author here - that's an amazing idea. would be an insanely large article though - maybe will write up a series
