Does langchain_google_genai support Grounding?

[kytkhrz]

Description:
I’m interested in using Grounding with langchain_google_genai. I couldn't find clear documentation or examples on whether this feature is currently supported.

Question:

• Is there a way to enable Grounding when using langchain_google_genai?
• If not, are there any plans to support it in future releases?

What I understand by grounding is that you want to anchor model responses to a particular domain or external knowledge source to improve accuracy and relevance.

Well, langchain doesn't directly provides this feature or parameter while using a model. But there are ways we can get our model grounded by:

• Integrating model with RAG: Using vector databases to retrieve relevant domain-specific knowledge before generating responses.

• Leveraging Third-Party APIs: Real-time data sources, such as Google's Search API, Knowledge Graph, or custom APIs, can provide live context for real time response generation.

Personally, I would go with using APIs to improve model response. For example, the Google Knowledge Graph API helps retrieve factual information, while the Gmail API allows fine-tuning models on personal email data for better personalization.
