Host A Welcome back to Exploring Next! Today we're looking at Building a Multimodal RAG That Responds with Text, Images, and Tables from Sources | Towards Data Science.

Host B Yeah, this one caught our eye because Large Language Models Building a Multimodal RAG That Responds with Text, Images, and Tables from Sources Why do few chatbots return figures from source documents in their responses?

Host A So the big idea is Partha Sarkar Nov 3, 2025 11 min read Share Photo by Steve Johnson on Unsplash Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has been one of the earliest and most successful applications of Generative AI.

Host B What stood out to me is Yet, few chatbots return images, tables, and figures from source documents alongside textual answers.
