The integration of Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) into DuckDB suggests a significant enhancement in database functionalities. The post reflects on the potential to use LLM APIs as application-defined functions to improve query efficiency, despite initial concerns about query speed and costs. A user suggests starting with aggregate functions, such as LLM_Summary() and LLM_Classify(), which could streamline complex operations into simpler SQL queries. This method allows users to leverage the advanced capabilities of LLMs directly within DuckDB without deep programming overhead, thus improving usability and functionality for data analysis.
