You are a machine learning engineer at a large e-commerce company. You have been tasked with deploying a large language model to power a customer service chatbot that handles product returns and refunds. The model will answer customer queries based on a knowledge base of return policies and FAQs. The company has strict requirements: (1) responses must be factually accurate and grounded in the knowledge base, (2) the system must be cost-effective, and (3) latency should be under 2 seconds per response. You decide to use a pre-trained LLM from OCI Data Science and implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). You have two options for the retriever: a dense embedding-based retriever (e.g., using OCI AI Language embeddings) or a sparse keyword-based retriever (e.g., BM25). You also need to decide on the generation model size: a 7B parameter model or a 70B parameter model. You run a pilot test: with the dense retriever + 7B model, average latency is 1.8 seconds and accuracy is 85%. With the sparse retriever + 7B model, latency is 1.2 seconds but accuracy drops to 75%. With the 70B model (any retriever), latency exceeds 5 seconds. Which combination should you choose to meet all requirements?
