This section is fine, but can probably be simplified. We can assume readers know what RAG is and dont need to be educated on it.

only retrieval pattern that can be useful. In fact, standard entity-based retrieval can be very powerful for
applications where relevant user-context is necessary.

I kind of want to balance brevity and Feast semantics (it's not always obvious to non-Feast users what an offline vs online store is). I'll try to clarify.

- Reranking mechanisms
- Fine Tuning embedding, retrieval, and generative models

I'd spell out what the user should be getting. "Here's an example of using Feast to do X Y and Z. Milvus provides B, while Feast makes it easier to do A"
