This article details an architecture where retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) utilizes a cost-effective local model as the initial step in a cascade, escalating only when necessary to a hosted flagship model for final validation and refinement. The approach emphasizes optimizing inference costs while maintaining high accuracy through iterative loops that leverage multiple smaller models before engaging expensive resources.
