RAG solves a common problem with large language models: they can hallucinate, miss long or proprietary context, or be stuck with outdated training data.

Instead of relying only on the model's parameters, RAG connects the model to external documents so it retrieves relevant evidence and then generates answers grounded in that content.

How it works
1) Index your content as embeddings and store them in a vector database.
2) At query time retrieve the most relevant passages.
3) Provide those passages to the LLM as context and generate a grounded response.

Why it matters
- More accurate and up to date answers
- Fewer hallucinations and clearer citations
- Customizes output to your domain without expensive fine tuning - Scales across knowledge bases and internal docs

Why doesn't ChatGPT know everything? While it can seem incredibly smart, ChatGPT's knowledge is limited by the data it was trained on and that means it doesn't automatically know current events, your files, or the latest company docs. Instead of live access, AI models learn patterns from huge amounts of past text and code. When faced with missing info, AI may confidently guess, leading to 'hallucinations.' Up next: How Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) can help give AI the right information just when you need it.

Why do some prompts get better results than others?

Usually, it's because the prompt provides a clearer goal, more context, useful constraints, and examples.

The better the model understands what you want, the better it can help.

There’s always another AI tool making headlines.
But the real advantage is ACTUALLY understanding how to build them yourself.

If you haven't caught it yet, Will Sentance has released a full workshop showing how tools like Claude Code work under the hood, along with a GitHub challenge repo so you can build it yourself from complete scratch!

How does AI know whether "bank" means a riverbank or a financial institution?

The answer is Attention.

Attention helps AI determine which words matter most in a sentence, while Transformers compare many word relationships at once to build context and meaning.

AI doesn’t actually read words the way humans do!

Before a model can understand language, it converts text into tokens and embeddings. Embeddings are a numerical representations that help AI recognize meaning, similarity, and context.

Next week: Transformers and Attention.

Neural networks power tools like ChatGPT, image generators, and much of modern AI. But what are they actually doing?

Neural networks learn through layers, improve through feedback, and have become the foundation of today's AI revolution.

Next week: tokens and embeddings.
