LLM Improvement: RAG, LoRA, or Full Fine-Tuning?

Choosing the right method to improve a large language model (LLM) is crucial, as teams often default to fine-tuning without considering the actual problem. If an LLM provides outdated information, uses an incorrect tone, or misses details, the solution depends on the specific issue. Options include retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for providing fresh information, low-rank adaptation (LoRA) for teaching new patterns by adjusting a small part of the model, or full fine-tuning to alter all model weights.
