Agentic commerce runs on truth and context

Product truth: If the catalog is inconsistent, an agent’s selections will look arbitrary (“the fallacious shirt,” “the fallacious size,” “the fallacious material”), and trust collapses quickly. Payee truth: Agentic...

Agentic RAG Failure Modes: Retrieval Thrash, Tool Storms, and Context Bloat (and How you can Spot Them Early)

fails in predictable ways. Retrieval returns bad chunks; the model hallucinates. You fix your chunking and move on. The debugging surface is small since the architecture is straightforward: retrieve once, generate once, done. Agentic...

Understanding Context and Contextual Retrieval in RAG

In my latest post, I how hybrid search will be utilised to significantly improve the effectiveness of a RAG pipeline. RAG, in its basic version, using just semantic search on embeddings, will be...

Context Engineering as Your Competitive Edge

, I’ve kept returning to the identical query: if cutting-edge foundation models are widely accessible, where could durable competitive advantage with AI actually come from? Today, I would really like to zoom in on context engineering — the discipline...

Going Beyond the Context Window: Recursive Language Models in Motion

, context really is every thing. The standard of an LLM’s output is tightly linked to the standard and amount of knowledge you provide. In practice, many real-world use cases include massive contexts: code...

How LLMs Handle Infinite Context With Finite Memory

1. Introduction two years, we witnessed a race for sequence length in AI language models. We regularly evolved from 4k context length to 32k, then 128k, to the huge 1-million token window first promised...

Beyond Prompting: The Power of Context Engineering

an LLM can see before it generates a solution. This includes the prompt itself, instructions, examples, retrieved documents, tool outputs, and even the prior conversation history. Context has a huge effect on answer quality....
