In 2026, the future belongs to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) - a revolutionary paradigm that blends large language models (LLMs) with real-time, knowledge-retrieval pipelines to create intelligent, context-aware AI applications that truly understand your data.In Retrieval-Augmented Generation Mastery (2026 Edition), acclaimed AI engineer and author Finn Cordex delivers the definitive guide for developers, ML engineers, and AI practitioners who want to master the art and engineering of RAG systems - from theory to real-world deployment.Whether you're building internal knowledge assistants, enterprise search bots, or data-driven GenAI apps, this book equips you with everything you need to go from concept to production-ready intelligence.What You'll LearnCore RAG Foundations: Understand how retrieval and generation combine to overcome LLM hallucination and enhance factual accuracy.Vector Database Integration: Learn how to use FAISS, Chroma, and Pinecone to build high-performance embedding pipelines.LangChain & LlamaIndex in Action: Implement practical, end-to-end RAG systems using today's most powerful frameworks.Advanced Architectures: Explore hybrid retrieval, multi-modal RAG, and agentic extensions for next-generation AI systems.Optimization & Deployment: Learn evaluation, latency reduction, cost management, and production-grade scaling techniques.Real-World Projects: Walk through hands-on implementations of RAG-based chatbots, document retrievers, and contextual search assistants.Inside the BookStructured for professional clarity and depth, this edition includes:A comprehensive 2000-word introduction explaining RAG's evolution and significance in modern AI.Nine in-depth chapters that blend conceptual rigor with working Python implementations.Rich commentary, design insights, and code breakdowns that reflect true industry expertise.Coverage of LangChain, LlamaIndex, FAISS, Pinecone, OpenAI APIs, and Hugging Face models - all contextualized for 2026's GenAI ecosystem.Who This Book Is ForThis is not another surface-level AI tutorial. It's a masterclass for serious builders - developers, engineers, data scientists, and researchers who want to go beyond chatbots and understand how modern AI systems retrieve, reason, and respond with precision.If you're ready to build intelligent systems that learn from your data, not just memorize it, this book will show you how - step by step, code by code.Why This Edition MattersWritten for the rapidly evolving 2026 landscape, this updated edition reflects the latest breakthroughs in:LLM orchestration and agentic design patternsVector storage performance tuningMemory-aware RAG pipelinesEvaluation metrics and hallucination controlNo shortcuts. No outdated theory. Just practical, battle-tested knowledge for modern AI engineers.Master the framework that defines the next generation of AI.Master Retrieval-Augmented Generation.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/827/350/9798273504660_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "17.99", "online_price" : "17.99", "our_price" : "17.99", "club_price" : "17.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
