intermediateSpring AI — Core, ChatClient & RAG
What are chunking strategies in RAG? How does chunk size affect quality?
Fixed-size (split by token count), sentence-based (better coherence), recursive (paragraphs → sentences → words), and semantic (split on topic shifts, more expensive). Too small loses context; too large adds irrelevant noise — overlap between chunks preserves context across boundaries.
