RAGe: A Retrieval-Augmented Generation Evaluation Framework

arXiv:2605.27445v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying Large Language Model (LLM) applications, particularly those relying on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), remains challenging due to high computational demands, outdated knowledge bases, and the need to manually select optimal pipeline components. In this work, we propose a modular framework for benchmarking and guiding the efficient development of RAG applications by focusing on resource telemetry and component recommendation, suggesting the best components for a domain-specific dataset. Our approach leverages core techniques in L

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid deployment and scaling challenges of LLM applications, particularly RAG, necessitate more efficient and effective development and evaluation frameworks.

Why it’s important

This framework offers a structured approach to optimize RAG deployments, addressing computational demands and knowledge base issues, which will accelerate the broader adoption of LLM-based applications.

What changes

The development and evaluation of RAG applications become more systematic and resource-efficient, leading to more reliable and performant LLM deployments.
