Break Your Own RAG Pipeline Before Users Do

The article discusses a small adversarial test set designed to detect retrieval failures in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines that typical evaluation sets might miss. It emphasizes the importance of proactively testing your own RAG system to uncover hidden weaknesses before users encounter them. By using this targeted test set, developers can improve the reliability and robustness of their RAG models.

Why RAG Complexity Should Be Earned

The article outlines a framework for constructing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines that progressively add complexity as needed to address observed failure modes. It begins with basic lexical and hybrid search techniques, then incorporates reranking and agentic information‑seeking strategies to improve performance. The approach emphasizes that more sophisticated components should only be introduced when simpler methods prove insufficient.

Building Enterprise Agent Systems that People can Trust, Verify and Improve

The article outlines five principles that guide the successful deployment of enterprise agent systems, illustrated with a real-world example from a $100M+ company. It explains how these principles help ensure that such systems can be trusted, verified, and improved over time. The post serves as a practical guide for building reliable agent-based solutions in production environments.
