Automated RAG pipeline evaluation and benchmarking with RAGAS

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines have become an integral part of how Large Language Models (LLMs) access information beyond their training cutoff. These pipelines enable LLMs to deliver current, accurate, and grounded responses.
