Building production-grade LLM applications requires understanding that LLMs are stateless and do not inherently remember past interactions; developers must manage conversation history themselves. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is an external architecture, not a core LLM capability, involving retrieving relevant documents and injecting them into the model's context. Furthermore, LLMs should be treated as orchestrators rather than calculators, with complex computations and financial tasks delegated to deterministic backend functions via techniques like function calling for accuracy and auditability.
