1. Cog-RAG: Giving RAG a Brain That Thinks Before It Retrieves

   Blog • Feb 17, 2026 • Medium • Florian June

   Traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is becoming a commodity; the next frontier is 'Cog-RAG.' This post details a new architecture where an agentic 'brain' evaluates a query, identifies...

2. Agentic Retrieval: A Planning-First Architecture for Complex Knowledge Synthesis

   Paper • Feb 19, 2026 • arXiv • Florian June, Wei-Lin Chiang, Hao Peng

   Traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models employ a naive 'retrieve-then-read' pipeline, which frequently fails when addressing complex, multi-hop queries that require implicit reasoni...

3. Rewriting Protein Alphabets with Language Models: An Agent-Based Approach to Homology

   Paper • Feb 22, 2026 • bioRxiv • Folkers, A., Basile, I., Wicky, M.

   Detecting remote protein homology across billions of sequences using high-dimensional embeddings is computationally prohibitive. We introduce an agentic approach that utilizes contrastive learning ...
