Fixed-length chunking requires no external services, yet semantic chunking absolutely needs an Embedding API — why? The core idea of semantic chunking is to split text at semantic boundaries. Determining whether "two pieces of text belong to the same topic" requires converting text into vectors and computing similarity — that's exactly what the Embedding API does. Dimension Fixed-Length / Recur
Why Does Switching Embedding Models Make Such a Huge Difference? In the first four articles, we built the RAG pipeline, tuned parameters, and mastered chunking strategies. But there's one question we haven't dived into: After your documents are chunked, how do they become vectors? This process is called Embedding. It transforms human-readable text into machine-computable vectors. The choice of E
In April 2026, Google Labs released a spec called DESIGN.md. It's a design system specification readable by AI agents, packaged with a CLI validator: npx @google/design.md lint. With DESIGN.md in the picture, we now have three different file types for instructing AI agents. AGENTS.md has been spreading as an industry standard since 2025 (jointly developed by OpenAI, Google, Sourcegraph, Cursor, an
