$\pi$-RAG: Oblivious Retrieval via Semantic Quantization and Transcendental Addressing for Large Language Models (opens in new tab)

This paper introduces $\pi$-RAG, a novel architecture for oblivious retrieval that decouples Large Language Models (LLMs) from sensitive data storage without sacrificing semantic understanding. Traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures expose raw vector embeddings to potential inversion attacks and nondeterministic retrieval failures. To address this, we utilize the digits of $\pi$ as a source of transcendental entropy, cr...
