Connecting real web content to RAG/Agents — a few proxy-related lessons learned the h - Cecilia - 08-19-2026
[font=宋体]Been building a RAG pipeline that needs fresh web pages in real time. Turns out the model isn’t the biggest bottleneck — the real choke point is how to reliably get clean, unblocked public content.[/font]
