whats wrong with RAG and why did suddenly everyone throw it away
- politelemon 1y agoWhat makes you say that? RAG is a staple for many search implementations.
- Leynos 1y agoMCP can be used as a form of context augmentation (i.e., RAG). It allows models to specify how that context augmentation is generated through tool use. It's a formalized way of allowing developers to implement tools (using JSON-RPC) in such a way that the model is provided with a menu of tools that it can call on in each generation. The output is then included in the next generation.
- factorialboy 1y agoApples and oranges when it comes to comparing RAG with MCPs. MCP is an open protocol, and everyone half-competent has an MCP for their product/service. RAG is a bespoke effort per implementation to vectorize data for model consumption.
