Code in the Core Techniques RAG tutorial does not match repo contents

[vainolo]

All code samples for RAG in the repository tries to connect to a model located at localhost, unlike the code that is shown in the tutorial.
Also, the code does not run because of this.

👋 Thanks for contributing @vainolo! We will review the issue and get back to you soon.

Hi @vainolo
Can you share which code in the tutorial?
The connection to localhost is used when you run models with ollama, you can do RAG also with GitHub models if needed.

In example:

• RAG Sample using Semantic Kernel, ollama and llama3.2vision, https://github.com/microsoft/Generative-AI-for-beginners-dotnet/blob/main/03-CoreGenerativeAITechniques/src/RAGSimple-01SK/Program.cs
• RAG Sample using MEAI and ollama, https://github.com/microsoft/Generative-AI-for-beginners-dotnet/blob/main/03-CoreGenerativeAITechniques/src/RAGSimple-02MEAIVectorsMemory/Program.cs
• RAG Sample with a nicer console output using Semantic Kernel, Ollama and Phi-4, https://github.com/microsoft/Generative-AI-for-beginners-dotnet/blob/main/03-CoreGenerativeAITechniques/src/RAGSimple-10SKOllama/Program.cs
• RAG Sample using Semantic Kernel, ollama and deepseek-r1, https://github.com/microsoft/Generative-AI-for-beginners-dotnet/blob/main/03-CoreGenerativeAITechniques/src/RAGSimple-01SK/Program.cs https://github.com/microsoft/Generative-AI-for-beginners-dotnet/blob/main/03-CoreGenerativeAITechniques/src/RAGSimple-15Ollama-DeepSeekR1/Program.cs

Hi @elbruno .
This is the tutorial I'm talking about: https://github.com/vainolo/Generative-AI-for-beginners-dotnet/blob/main/03-CoreGenerativeAITechniques/02-retrieval-augmented-generation.md
In it we have:

But looking at the code in all the tutorials, there is no code setup where the code uses this type of configuration. This is confusing for the reader.

As you write, I can use GitHub models or another thing, but my expectation from a tutorial is for the code and the samples in the tutorial to match.

Thanks for the great work you have done here!

@PabloNunes is taking a look the code samples!

Thanks
