RAG doesn’t just mean word vectors but can include keyword search. Claude using grep is a form of RAG.

In practice this is not how the term is used.

It bugs me, because the acronym should encompass any form of retrieval - but in practice, people use RAG to specifically refer to embedding-vector-lookups, hence it making sense to say that it's "dying" now that other forms of retrieval are better.
