RAG SOTA: I Tested 7 Pipelines and Built SEQUOIA (Open Source)
After 20+ hours of compute time on local hardware, I benchmarked 7 RAG configurations against real-world tasks. The results surprised me — and changed how I think about retrieval architecture.
Why This Matters
RAG is everywhere in 2026. Everyone claims their pipeline is "SOTA," but most benchmarks use toy datasets. I wanted to see what actually works when you have:
