So when an agent does "cat file.txt" that's RAG to you?

It is to me. And I agree that the term is losing value because it's becoming ubiquitous but it's the differentiation from the first versions of ChatGPT etc., which were purely user input -> LLM -> output driven.

The answer would be yes. It's about using stored knowledge to increase the accuracy of the answer and evidence surfacing.

It doesn't have to be a vector database.

Kapa is one of the few companies doing RAG right.

Your definition is diluted to the point of being worthless.

In the context of the title of the hn submission, I read “RAG Context” as “the retrieved content injected into the context window” .... "read" read /rε d/ not /riːd/

No, that might be "RAG Context" though.
