Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What technologies are used in this RAG lab?
This lab uses Python, LangChain, a vector database (such as ChromaDB or FAISS), and an open-source LLM. You will work in a Linux environment with terminal and VSCode access to build the entire pipeline.
How long does the LangChain RAG lab take to complete?
The lab is designed to be completed in 45 minutes. This includes document ingestion, embedding generation, vector store setup, and retrieval-augmented answer generation using an open-source model.
Do I need prior experience with LangChain to take this lab?
Familiarity with LangChain basics is expected. You should understand document loaders, text splitters, embedding models, and retrieval chains. The lab targets autonomous-level AI developers.
What does the RAG pipeline lab evaluate?
The lab evaluates your ability to build a complete Retrieval-Augmented Generation system: chunking documents, generating embeddings, storing them in a vector database, and connecting a retriever to an LLM for grounded, context-aware answers.
How is my submission scored in this lab?
Your submission.csv is evaluated using automated metrics including context relevance, answer relevance, faithfulness, and retrieval recall scores. Each metric must meet a defined threshold to pass.
Can I use any open-source LLM for this lab?
You may use any open-source LLM compatible with LangChain and the lab environment. Closed-source or proprietary models are not permitted. Choose a model that fits the available compute resources.
