What you'll learn
Retrieval will be the major upgrade to agents in 2026
Harnesses, smarter models, and reasoning all upgraded agentic capabilities. 2026 that upgrade will be search.
The power of late interaction, not just 'vector search'
Is 'vector search' done? Why models like late interaction / ColBERT seem poised to reinvent how agents think + search
What is "BrowseComp Plus" benchmark?
How retrieval - not agentic reasoning - becomes the primary factor in deep research
Why this topic matters
We know "just adding reasoning" to a dumb retriever will make search smarter. But 2026 points to trends beyond that. Smarter retrievers suited for agentic queries seem poised to take agents to another level.
If 2025 was the year of the harness, will 2026 be the year of retrieval focused on agents?
Come hang out, bring your questions, and we'll discuss search is headed
