TL;DR
An advanced retrieval framework where large language models dynamically execute external queries during the text generation process rather than in a single pre-generation step.
Retrieval-Interleaved Generation enables a model to recognize when its internal knowledge is insufficient and generate structured queries mid-sentence. Instead of pre-fetching static context chunks as in traditional retrieval-augmented generation, RIG actively calls external APIs or knowledge bases to insert precise, real-time facts directly into its output sequence. This interleaving strategy reduces factual drift and hallucination risks, especially for numerical and statistical data.
