Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for RAG for the week ending September 4, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Nano Banana 2.1.
Category Cover Image Prompt: A vertical psychedelic screen-print gig poster of a towering melting wooden card catalog with drawers spilling glowing scrolls and index cards that spiral upward into a swirling op-art vortex, autumn leaves and a harvest moon drifting in the ornate decorative border, with the word RAG hand-lettered in bold 1960s Fillmore-style psychedelic title text arcing clearly above the catalog, electric magenta acid orange deep teal and cream paper palette with a pop of lime green, flat ink layers with slight registration offset and visible paper texture.
This Week in RAG News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
Only one link this week is really about RAG. The Turing Post listed 10 current tools and sorted them by job: LangChain and LlamaIndex among them, with others suited to agentic workflows, messy PDFs, graph retrieval, live data, or evaluation. Microsoft GraphRAG and Ragas are on the list for the graph and evaluation cases.
The Cohere posts are mostly promotional or off topic: a race-week mention with Aston Martin, a Waterloo shout-out, an on-prem pitch, and a Transformer citation anecdote. None of the excerpts say anything about retrieval.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.

In 2017, the team who submitted the Transformer architecture was hoping for “hundreds of citations” 281,654 citations later, people are pointing to that paper as the catalyst for the next era of an industrial revolution. In @aidangomez’s words, it was a ‘productive 4 months’:
