How to feed LLMs with data from the web

All major generative AI models have been trained using data scraped from the web. Applications of large language models (LLMs) often extract web data to provide up-to-date context using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Unfortunately, reliably collecting online data at scale is challenging due to issues like blocking, dynamic content rendering, and the sheer volume of data. In this talk, Jan will explain how you can establish an efficient web data extraction pipeline, clean the HTML to circumvent the “garbage in, garbage out” problem, and demonstrate how to use this in an LLM application.
