Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) offers a significant cost-saving benefit for AI applications by optimizing how Large Language Models (LLMs) process information. Instead of sending extensive documents or chat histories to the LLM for every query, RAG first retrieves only the most relevant data. This focused approach reduces the number of input tokens processed by the LLM, thereby lowering both the cost and latency associated with each request. By delegating the search and filtering tasks to specialized systems before engaging the LLM, developers can ensure that the model receives a concise and pertinent set of evidence, leading to more efficient and economical AI operations.
