Your first RAG that actually works. Across four hands-on modules, you build a complete chain — ingestion, chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking, cited generation, quantified evaluation — on hosted NVIDIA endpoints (build.nvidia.com), with no GPU to buy and no cluster to manage. The course ends with an honestly graded project: recall, faithfulness, p95 latency. It's the bridge between RAG theory (AI Foundations course 06) and enterprise-scale NIM/NeMo deployment (NVIDIA course 06).
RAG quality is decided 70% upstream: how to ingest, chunk, and vectorize correctly.
