Agentic RAG: The Upgraded Version of RAG

Agentic RAG: The Upgraded Version of RAG

In recent years, the technology of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has gained significant attention in the field of artificial intelligence. However, as demands have become more complex, traditional RAG has shown limitations in handling multi-step reasoning and external tool calls. To address this, Agentic RAG has emerged as an upgraded version of RAG, showcasing more powerful … Read more

How Agentic RAG Addresses Limitations of Traditional RAG

How Agentic RAG Addresses Limitations of Traditional RAG

In this article, we will explore how Agentic RAG helps to address the limitations of traditional RAG. RAG Framework The RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) framework operates in a specific sequence: Document -> Document Fragments -> Vector Database -> Fragment Retrieval (Top K) -> Large Language Model (LLM) However, this order encounters obstacles when handling certain types … Read more

Agentic Security: The Future Beyond SOAR

Agentic Security: The Future Beyond SOAR

Since April, I have been tracking the development of security startups, particularly in the areas related to agents and agent workflows. At that time, there were only a handful of security companies researching the concept of agents and making tangible progress. In just over six months, I have seen a significant increase in newly established … Read more
