RAG guide
RAG compression evaluation
Adding compression to a RAG pipeline changes the context the LLM sees. Proper evaluation ensures that quality is maintained while costs are reduced.
Evaluation framework
- Answer accuracy — Does the LLM still answer correctly with compressed context?
- Faithfulness — Does the answer hallucinate or contradict the compressed context?
- Relevance — Is the compressed context sufficient for the answer?
- Compression efficiency — What percentage of tokens was removed?
Frequently asked questions
What evaluation dataset should I use?
Use 100-500 real queries from your production logs with human-verified ground truth answers.
How much quality regression is acceptable?
Zero regression is ideal. If you see regression, reduce the compression budget.
