Vectara has launched a RAG-as-a-Service platform designed to address the common production challenges of retrieval-augmented generation systems. The platform offers a fully managed pipeline, from document ingestion to response generation, utilizing proprietary models like Boomerang for embeddings and Mockingbird for generation. A key feature is its integrated governance, including hallucination detection and factual consistency checks, aiming for over 90% answer accuracy even with large document sets. Separately, a method for automatically evaluating RAG system quality has been developed, moving beyond manual verification by using an evaluation dataset to score responses across dimensions like keyword matching and document relevance.
