The Best RAG Technique Yet? Anthropic’s Contextual Retrieval Explained!
Anthropic has launched a new retrieval mechanism called contextual retrieval, which combines chunking strategies with re-ranking to significantly improve performance. In this video, I explain how this technique enhances retrieval accuracy, including practical implementation steps and benchmark results. Learn how to optimize your RAG systems by adding contextual embeddings, keyword-based BM25 indexing, and re-ranking to achieve state-of-the-art results.
