RAG vs AI Agents: Developers Debate the Difference

Developers and AI commentators are discussing the distinction between retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and AI agents, two approaches for extending large language models beyond simple question answering. RAG grounds model output in retrieved documents, while agents can plan and take multi-step actions. The conversation forms part of ongoing debate in the software community over how best to build practical applications on top of LLMs.
Why now: AI builders are actively comparing architectural approaches for making large language models more useful in real applications.
