It’s something of a historical accident

We started with LLMs when everyone in search was building question answering systems. Those architectures look like the vector DB + chunking we associate with RAG.

Agents ability to call tools, using any retrieval backend, call that into question.

We really shouldn’t start RAG with the assumption we need that. I’ll be speaking about the subject in a few weeks
