It's designed to handle diverse file formats while ensuring effective memory management; pick ragtune if ragtune is a Go-based benchmarking tool for RAG retrieval systems that allows users to inspect, debug, benchmark, and tune the retrieval layer. [agentset](https://agentset.ai) reports 2.1k GitHub stars, 185 forks, and 14 open issues, last pushed Jul 16, 2026. [ragtune](https://github.com/metawake/ragtune) has 13 stars, 1 forks, and 0 open issues, last pushed Mar 25, 2026.
