Your RAG Pipeline Is a Rube Goldberg Machine — Here's the Fix LangChain. Chunker. Embedder. Vector DB. Re-ranker. LLM. Six tools. Six failure points. And it's why your AI hallucinates. Here's the breakdown: 1. Every hop loses information — it's a game of telephone 2. The chunker breaks sentences. The embedder doesn't know the re-ranker. The vector DB ignores your filters 3. By the time the LLM sees the context, it's garbage in, garbage out 4. Real fix: one retriever pipeline → Filter → Sort → Reduce → Enrich → one API call Stop duct-taping six tools together. The pipeline is the product. mixpeek.com #RAG #LangChain #VectorDatabase #AI #LLM #MachineLearning #AIEngineering #RetrievalAugmentedGeneration
