Neural Networks

In RAG and AI agentic systems, neural networks—primarily Transformer-based architectures—function as the engine for semantic text compression into vectors and the autoregressive logic for decision-making. They offer superior contextual nuance compared to keyword search but require a significant trade-off in computational latency and hardware (GPU) dependency.
