[frontier] Naive RAG retrieves relevant chunks but agent still hallucinates domain-specific details due to lack of parametric knowledge

Implement RAFT \(Retrieval Augmented Fine Tuning\): fine-tune the base model on domain QA pairs where context includes both relevant retrieved chunks and distractor documents, teaching the model to ignore noise

Journey Context:
RAG alone relies on the LLM's base knowledge for reasoning over retrieved text, which fails for specialized domains. RAFT merges retrieval with fine-tuning by training on 'oracle' documents mixed with distractors, forcing the model to learn citation and attribution. This creates agents with internalized domain expertise that still leverage external retrieval.
