Large Language Models (LLMs) are transformative, but static knowledge and hallucinations limit their direct enterprise use. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is the standard solution, yet moving from prototype to production is fraught with challenges in data quality, scalability, and evaluation.
This talk argues the future of intelligent retrieval lies not in better models, but in a unified, data-first platform. We'll demonstrate how the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, built on a Lakehouse architecture with integrated tools like Mosaic AI Vector Search, provides the foundation for production-grade RAG.
Looking ahead, we'll explore the evolution beyond standard RAG to advanced architectures like GraphRAG, which enable deeper reasoning within Compound AI Systems. Finally, we'll show how the end-to-end Mosaic AI Agent Framework provides the tools to build, govern, and evaluate the intelligent agents of the future, capable of reasoning across the entire enterprise.
