​💭 Talk Abstracts:

​RAG and Agents in 2024 (Laurie Voss - LlamaIndex)
Retrieval-augmented generation is an essential tool for building modern information-retrieval systems, but it isn't enough. In this talk, we make the case that while RAG is necessary, it's not sufficient: you need to add agentic strategies to your system. We discuss the basic components of an agentic system including routing (selecting between sources), memory (providing context between queries), planning (what should we do?), reflection (did we correctly do what we intended?) and tool use. We also discuss agentic reasoning strategies including sequential (chain of thought), DAG-based, and tree based (tree of thought). Finally we dip briefly into further extensions to agents including observability, controllability and customizability.

​Fiber.AI - Talk details coming soon!
