What is the primary purpose of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) in a foundation model application?

To pre-train the model on a larger dataset

To compress the model for faster inference

To fine-tune the model on a specific domain

To retrieve relevant external information and incorporate it into the model's response

A team is implementing RAG and needs to store embeddings for millions of documents. They also need to perform low-latency similarity searches. Which AWS service is best suited for this?

Amazon OpenSearch Service with the k-NN plugin

Amazon S3 with a custom search algorithm

A company wants to build an AI assistant that can answer employee questions about internal policies and also perform actions like booking meeting rooms. They want to use an AI agent. Which design consideration is most important to ensure the agent can access the necessary information and take actions?

Integrate the agent with a RAG system for policy documents and provide it with tools to interact with the room booking system.

Use a simple chatbot that only provides predefined answers to common questions.

Fine-tune the agent's model on all internal policies so it can answer without external retrieval.

Use a single foundation model with a large context window to include all policies in the prompt.
