Enterprise AI retrieval gap pushes firms toward hybrid and governed layers

Retrieval is the primary context source for 38% of respondents, and provider-native tools lead every purpose-built

PixelRAG skips text parsing for visual RAG, but chunking remains unsolved

PixelRAG, a research-stage system from UC Berkeley, Princeton, EPFL, and Databricks researchers, reports that visual retrieval can beat text-based RAG by up to 18.1% on six benchmarks while cutting AI agent prompt tokens by roughly 10x in a specific search-backend configuration. The system replaces HTML-to-
