Production RAG system built with Llama 3.3 and Cloudflare Vectorize

This article details the construction of a live production Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, contrasting it with typical RAG demonstrations. It emphasizes that true retrieval quality is revealed in production, highlighting the importance of structural chunking and explicit refusal gates. The system uses open-source components, including Llama 3.3-70B for the answer model and Cloudflare Vectorize for the vector index, to provide grounded answers with citations and indicate when content is insufficient.
