VerifiedA model's knowledge is frozen in the parameter weights at training time and cannot perceive the current time or access real-time data; this is known as the knowledge cutoff problem.74% similarUnverifiedGeneral large language models cannot carry enterprise-specific ontological prior knowledge, and RAG systems can retrieve information but struggle to convert it into executable actions.74% similarUnverifiedWhen a model fails to correctly invoke retrieval tools or determines that a question does not require a search, it falls back to answering from training data, thereby exposing the knowledge cutoff issue.72% similarUnverifiedCurrent large language model training data has a knowledge cutoff date and cannot recognize new vocabulary or internet memes that emerge after that date; RAG can supplement the latest information by retrieving external knowledge.72% similarVerifiedRetrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) cannot completely eliminate hallucinations, as the model may still misinterpret retrieved documents or fill in gaps on its own when retrieval results are insufficient.71% similar
