I’m working through a short course on agentic RAG and in my research, I came across a detailed article that explains how and why agentic RAG is better than traditional RAG. (RAG stands for retrieval augmented generation — it’s a way to provide knowledge to LLMs so that their answers are grounded to a specific bank of facts.)

The summary table below from the company LeewayHertz is helpful.

Agentic RAG is more sophisticated than traditional methods and comes with some overheads that might be overkill for the projects I’m working on. Still, it’s worth learning a little about in my journey of 100 days of AI.

A Goldilocks Introduction to AI Agents: Opportunities, Challenges, and Everyday Impact

AI agents have quickly evolved from obscure technical experiments to mainstream buzz. In the last 18 months, new automation capabilities have captured the imagination of entrepreneurs and established organizations alike. While it’s possible that we’re in another AI bubble, the early adopters of AI agents are reporting impressive

Open Problems (& Opportunities) for AI: Summary Notes from the Conference

Last week I attended the Algorithmic Innovation & Entrepreneurship Summit on Open Problems for AI. That’s a bit of a mouthful but in essence, it was a 2-day conference covering the challenges and opportunities for AI over the next 5 years. Day 1 was focussed on algorithms and AI

The Software Engineer is Dead, Long Live the Software Engineer!

An undeniable killer use case for large language models is code generation. It’s already helping software developers write code up to twice as fast and with more delight. As LLM models improve with each release, they can write better software and handle more complex architectures at a fraction of

AI agents have been getting a lot of attention but they can be expensive to run. This is because they use a lot of tokens and make multiple calls to LLMs. Some AI developers have beat performance benchmarks by using exceptionally expensive agentic runs. However, this is unrealistic because in
