Context windows are becoming larger and larger, and I anticipate more research focusing on this trend. Could this signal the eventual demise of RAG? Only time will tell. I recently experimented with RAG and the limitations are often surprising (https://www.lycee.ai/blog/rag-fastapi-postgresql-pgvector). I wonder if we will see some of the same limitations for long context LLM. In context learning is probably a form of semantic / lexical cues based arithmetic.
