Safeguarding Data Integrity: On-Prem RAG Deployment with LLMware and Milvus

Darren Oberst, CEO of AI Blocks, discussed deploying Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) on-premises for large financial and legal services companies during a recent Unstructured Data Meetup session. He highlighted the challenges faced by enterprises in adopting RAG, including data privacy and security concerns, elevated costs, and neglecting retrieval strategies. To address these issues, Darren advocates for deploying RAG on private cloud solutions, offering better data security, lower cost, and enhanced generation with retrieval capabilities. The session also covered the Dragon models designed specifically for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) in the Huggingface Transformers library and LLMware, a library designed for enterprise-level LLM-based applications.
