概述
These loops can add evidence-seeking flexibility and also add latency, cost, and failure points.
深入探讨
Classic RAG typically retrieves context for a query and supplies it to a language model. Agentic RAG refers to designs where an agent decides whether to retrieve, which query or source to use, and whether to continue after seeing results. A system may decompose a question, inspect evidence, filter or critique it, and reformulate a search. Research approaches differ: Self-RAG uses reflection tokens for retrieval and critique, while Adaptive-RAG selects retrieval strategies based on question complexity. These are specific methods, not a standard architecture or a guarantee that evidence supports the final answer.

Agentic RAG 的未来
Agentic retrieval remains a design space with tradeoffs among answer quality, evidence coverage, cost, and latency. Evaluate on the target corpus and questions, track whether sources support generated claims, and compare against a simpler retrieval baseline.
现实世界的实施
Break a question about two products into separate searches, then compare retrieved evidence.
Choose between a document index and a structured database when the question requires different data.
Check whether retrieved passages support a draft before returning it.
Stop retrieval when evidence is sufficient or a step budget is reached.

常见问题
什么是代理 RAG？
Agentic RAG is a family of retrieval-augmented systems in which a model or controller can choose retrieval actions, inspect results, and sometimes search again before answering. These loops can add evidence-seeking flexibility and also add latency, cost, and failure points.
Compared with a simple single-shot retrieve-and-generate baseline, what can agentic RAG add?
Agentic methods can make retrieval an iterative decision; classic RAG has multiple formulations, so this contrast is scoped to a simple single-shot baseline.
代理 RAG 如何处理困难的多跳问题？
分解子问题并检索每个子问题的证据是 Agentic RAG 的核心优势。
在代理 RAG 中，对于代理来说，检索器最好的描述是什么？
代理将每个检索器视为一个工具，并决定在每个回合是否以及如何使用它。
可选的“分级”步骤在 Agentic RAG 中起什么作用？
对检索到的块的相关性进行分级可以降低偏离主题的上下文误导模型的风险。
与单次 RAG 相比，代理 RAG 的主要成本是多少？
Iterative retrieval can improve coverage for some questions, but it adds calls, latency, and cost and can still retrieve or reason incorrectly.
