New benchmark assesses multimodal RAG systems

Researchers have developed FATHOMS-RAG, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the end-to-end performance of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. This framework assesses a RAG pipeline's ability to ingest, retrieve, and reason across various data modalities including text, tables, and images. The study found that closed-source RAG pipelines generally outperform open-source ones, particularly when dealing with complex multimodal and cross-document information. AI

    FATHOMS-RAG: A Framework for the Assessment of Thinking and Observation in Multimodal Systems that use Retrieval Augmented Generation

    arXiv:2510.08945v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has emerged as a promising paradigm for improving factual accuracy in large language models (LLMs). We introduce a benchmark designed to evaluate RAG pipelines as a whole, evaluating a pipeli…
