Retrieval is not the future of AI – if it was, Google would have won already

retrieval is not the future of Ai

if it was, google would have won already

there is another way, that doesn't require retrieval at all

it costs more per conversation, but its better than a sh*ty graphRAG

i am shocked by how few people know this

but it seems the industry is not paying much attention to memory yet (hell z.ai doesn't have longterm memory at all)

humans don't really remember the exact experience that happened,

we remember a layer that sits on top of that

something that got built at the same day the experience happened

but is not a transcript or a summary

why would the brain do that! isn't it easier to save the actual memory?

just like LLMs, our brain will be overwhelmed if we remembered every single experience (people with photographic memory go through hell)

Ai agents can't remember everything, or retrieval will be hell too

just ask google; 30 years of trying to give you the best search results of a simple recipe & it still fails to do that on the first try

so what! do you take the first word and the last word of every sentence and reconstruct the sentence later?

No, that too doesn't work either, no matter how much Zep AI wants you to believe it
