Embedding Model Selection for Production RAG
The embedding model is the foundation of your RAG system. Choose wrong and no amount of prompt engineering or re-ranking will compensate.

Vibe checks do not scale. This playbook covers deterministic evaluators, model-graded rubrics, and assertion-based testing patterns that bring LLM outputs under CI discipline.
The gap between a working demo and a reliable production system is engineering discipline around inputs, outputs, and failure handling.
Deploying a RAG system is straightforward. Knowing whether it actually works is harder.
