Who it is forAn ML engineer evaluating whether to replace a vector RAG stack.
The problemIt is unclear when vectorless retrieval is better.
The outcomeA side-by-side answer comparison on your own documents.
What you need first
- Python
- An OpenAI API key (local mode) or a PageIndex API key (cloud mode)
Steps
- Pick 10 questions with known answers
- Run them through your vector RAG
- Run them through PageIndex
- Score correctness and citations
Prompt for your agent
Answer <10 questions> about <document> with PageIndex and with my vector RAG, then report which got more correct with verifiable citations.
Caveat. Results vary by document type and model choice.
