RAG Architecture
Merging Real-Time DeFi Data with Advanced Language Processing
What is RAG?
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a hybrid AI approach combining large language models with external knowledge retrieval. Its purpose is to provide accurate, up-to-date, and context-aware responses in DeFi scenarios, allowing Bailoo to:
Offer current information on rapidly changing DeFi protocols and market conditions
Deliver personalized responses based on user-specific contexts and on-chain data
Minimize inaccuracies common in pure language models
How RAG Works in Bailoo
Query Processing
User inputs are analyzed for intent and key information
The query is embedded using the same model as the document database
Embedded query is used to search the vector database
Knowledge Retrieval
Relevant data is fetched from our constantly updated DeFi database
Top-K most relevant documents are retrieved based on vector similarity
Retrieved documents are ranked and filtered for relevance
Context Integration
Retrieved information is seamlessly blended with the AI's base knowledge
A dynamic prompt is created, incorporating the original query, retrieved context, and specific instructions for the LLM
Response Generation
The AI crafts a tailored, informed answer to the user's query
The LLM generates a response using the constructed prompt
Output is post-processed to ensure format consistency and remove sensitive information
Key Components
Vector Database (Supabase)
Stores and indexes DeFi-specific information for quick retrieval
Content includes protocol documentation, token metrics, user guides, and market analyses
Enables real-time updates to keep information current
Embedding Model
Converts queries and stored information into comparable vector representations
Utilizes OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002 model for consistent, high-quality embeddings
Enables semantic similarity searches beyond simple keyword matching
Retrieval Mechanism
Performs fast, approximate nearest neighbor search to find relevant documents
Uses cosine similarity to rank and select the most pertinent information
Implements a dynamic retrieval threshold to balance relevance and response time
Large Language Model (OpenAI GPT-4)
Generates human-like responses based on retrieved context and user input
Adapts its output style based on user expertise level and query complexity
Benefits for DeFi Users
Real-time Accuracy: Always provides the latest protocol information and market data
Personalized Guidance: Tailors explanations to the user's level of expertise
Cross-Protocol Insights: Offers comparative analysis across different DeFi platforms
Continuous Learning and Improvement
Automated Updates: Regular scraping and indexing of new DeFi developments
Feedback Loop: User interactions help refine and expand the knowledge base
Expert Curation: Manual oversight ensures high-quality, reliable information
This RAG implementation enables Bailoo to provide accurate, contextually relevant responses to user queries, combining the vast knowledge of a language model with the precision and timeliness of a curated, up-to-date DeFi knowledge base.
