Unlike typical retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, Talkit does not use a vector store because the entire paper fits within the model's context window. The evaluation involved creating ten questions about the "Attention" paper, using DeepEval for scoring, and integrating OpenTelemetry traces with Confident AI to monitor answer quality. Initial results showed perfect faithfulness but revealed other issues, such as the model sometimes failing to provide an answer. AI
