Implements three distinct RAG strategies (NaiveRAG, ChainOfRAG, DeepSearch) that can be selected via configuration or automatically routed based on query complexity. NaiveRAG performs single-pass retrieval-generation for simple queries; ChainOfRAG decomposes complex queries into sub-questions with iterative multi-hop reasoning and early stopping; DeepSearch executes parallel searches with LLM-based reranking and reflection loops for comprehensive research tasks. The agent selection is configuration-driven through the agent provider setting, enabling runtime strategy swapping without code changes.
Unique: Implements three distinct RAG agent classes (NaiveRAG, ChainOfRAG, DeepSearch) with pluggable selection via configuration, enabling strategy swapping without code changes. DeepSearch agent specifically combines parallel search with LLM-based reranking and reflection loops — a pattern optimized for reasoning models like DeepSeek-R1 and Grok-3.
vs alternatives: Offers more granular control over reasoning strategies than monolithic RAG systems; DeepSearch agent is specifically architected for reasoning models, whereas most RAG frameworks treat all LLMs equivalently
