genfirst

Definition

A coined name compressing "generation-first": produce a candidate with the model first, then verify, filter, or ground it — the reverse of the retrieve-then-generate ordering used in RAG. The label describes the direction of the pipeline, not a standardized technique, so what it means concretely depends on the paper that coined it.
