Onetrace tool tracks RAG pipeline changes to find root causes

A new tool called onetrace aims to solve the problem of non-deterministic behavior in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. When a RAG system's answer changes unexpectedly, it's difficult to pinpoint the cause due to the complex, multi-step nature of these pipelines. Onetrace addresses this by recording detailed receipts at each step, including inputs, outputs, tools used, versions, and settings. These receipts are hash-chained to ensure integrity, allowing for mechanical comparison between runs to identify the exact step and reason for any divergence, even if the underlying LLM remains non-deterministic. AI

IMPACT Provides a deterministic record for debugging non-deterministic RAG pipelines, crucial for reliable AI application development.

    Your RAG answer changed. Which step changed it?

    <p>A question that used to be answered correctly stopped being answered.<br /> The question was about a returns policy: how long do customers have to return an item? Last week the pipeline said ninety days. This week it said "not stated in the retrieved evidence." Nobody touched …
