Adaptive RAG improves upon traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation by dynamically deciding when and how to retrieve information based on query complexity. Unlike standard RAG that blindly retrieves documents for every query, adaptive RAG analyzes questions first, skips retrieval for simple prompts, and uses multiple search strategies for complex queries. The approach includes query classification, strategy selection, and iterative retrieval, offering benefits like improved accuracy, better efficiency, and reduced hallucinations. Common applications include customer support systems, conversational AI, and knowledge management platforms.
