Chunking Documents for RAG

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Intermediate 3 min read Published
In this lesson

You can’t embed a 200-page PDF as one vector: its meaning gets averaged into mush, and it wouldn’t fit in a prompt anyway. So documents are cut into chunks. How you cut them decides what the retriever can find. Bad chunking is the number-one reason RAG bots give poor answers.
