RAG indexes should be treated as reproducible derived datasets

The article argues that retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) indexes should be treated as derived datasets. This means they need to be reproducible, versioned, and disposable, rather than permanent storage with unknown origins. By managing RAG indexes in this manner, the reliability of retrieval processes can be significantly improved. AI
