We’re excited to feature a new RAG technique - dynamic section retrieval 💫 - which ensures that you can retrieve entire contiguous sections instead of naive fragmented chunks from a document. This is a top pain point we’ve heard from our community on multi-document RAG challenges - naive RAG returns fragmented context without awareness of the surrounding document. Our approach allows you to start off with a “simple” chunking technique (e.g. per page), but do a post-processing workflow to attach section/sub-section metadata. You can then do GraphRAG-like retrieval (two-pass retrieval): retrieve chunks, look up the attached section metadata, and then do a second call to return all chunks that match the section ID. github.com/run-llama/llam…
