Modular RAG
A modular architectural paradigm for RAG systems that decomposes the retrieval-augmented generation pipeline into independent, interchangeable, and orchestratable functional modules supporting flexible composition. It represents the mainstream RAG architecture in current industry practice.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Modular RAG splits the entire pipeline into independent, replaceable, and orchestrable modules, and is the mainstream architectural paradigm currently adopted by the industry.
The core idea of Modular RAG comes from a review paper of the same name published in 2023, which abstracts the RAG system into three major modules: indexing, retrieval, and generation.
The retriever in Modular RAG can flexibly switch between dense vector retrieval, sparse keyword retrieval (BM25), or hybrid retrieval without reconstructing the entire pipeline.
