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 July 31, 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 Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview.
Category Cover Image Prompt: A moody 1980s neo-noir movie poster still of a gloved hand sliding a thick tabbed manila case file across the glowing amber dashboard of a 1973 matte primer gray Chevelle Malibu idling under sodium streetlights, index cards and a folded map fanning out, wet Los Angeles asphalt reflecting hot magenta neon through the windshield, shot on 35mm anamorphic with soft halation and deep crushed blacks, title RAG scrawled in hot magenta-pink handwritten brush script in the upper third.
This Week in RAG News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
Only one link speaks directly to RAG. The vLLM project announced Day 0 support for Thinking Machines' open-weights Inkling-Small, a 276B-parameter model with 12B active, a 1M-token context window, and text, image and audio input. It is pitched for agentic systems, coding assistants and RAG.
The Cohere items cover other ground: Transcribe speech recognition arriving in Superwhisper, and North Automations for building workflows in plain language.
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.
