Introduction: Retrieval Augmented Fine-Tuning (RAFT) represents a powerful approach to improving LLM performance on domain-specific tasks by combining the benefits of fine-tuning with retrieval-augmented generation. Traditional RAG systems retrieve relevant documents at inference time and include them in the prompt, but the base model wasn’t trained to effectively use retrieved context. RAFT addresses this by […]

Introduction: LLMs have no inherent memory—each request starts fresh. Building effective memory systems enables conversations that span sessions, personalization based on user history, and agents that learn from past interactions. Memory architectures range from simple conversation buffers to sophisticated vector-based long-term storage with semantic retrieval. This guide covers practical memory patterns: conversation buffers, sliding windows, […]
