A developer's experiment revealed that local large language models (LLMs) struggle with accurate technical question answering without external knowledge. However, when integrated with a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, these local LLMs demonstrate significant improvement. The RAG system injects relevant documents into the LLM's context before it generates an answer, effectively turning them into powerful tools for accessing and processing information from specific knowledge bases.
