Model Is the Least Interesting Part: A Guide to Six Core AI Architectures from RAG to Multi-Agent

Shalini Goyal argues the model itself matters least — success comes from architecture: how data flows, agents act, and intelligence operates at scale. Her guide covers six core patterns: RAG (external knowledge retrieval), fine-tuning (domain adaptation), agentic workflows (multi-step planning and execution), multi-agent systems (collaborative agents), event-driven AI (instant reaction to triggers and operational signals), and streaming AI (real-time processing of continuous data). It's a solid primer on architecture choices for production AI systems.
