RAG is dead, long live agentic retrieval

While I can see how these agentic systems could improve accuracy and scalability (I've dabbled into the space before), I also cannot help but to wonder if LLM providers will soon roll these features into their native offerings. There's no way Grok/OpenAI...etc won't be doing everything in their power to one-up each other, and this is one of the areas. Smart RAG might become a way to augment providers that don't have the power to compete with the biggest players.
