Stop treating retrieval as a feature; it is now core infrastructure
◆ 75RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack1mo ago
As you move from simple chatbots to autonomous agents, your bottleneck shifts from model reasoning to context precision. You must decide whether to invest in specialized retrieval engineering now or risk agents making expensive, autonomous errors based on stale or irrelevant data.
Takeaways
- Context quality is the primary lever for agent reliability and decision-making.
- Basic RAG is no longer sufficient for complex, multi-step agentic workflows.
- Retrieval engineering should be a priority hire for teams building autonomous systems.
