Fine-Tuning Forgets. RAG Leaks Context. Hypernetworks Build the Model Your Agent Needs on Demand.
Enterprise AI agents often stall because they lose accuracy as context grows, forcing human supervision. Traditional fixes—fine‑tuning and in‑context learning—each leave a loop: fine‑tuning forgets prior knowledge, while retrieval‑augmented generation suffers context rot. A emerging third path uses hypernetworks to generate task‑specific adapters on demand, keeping knowledge current without costly retraining. Companies like Nace.AI demonstrate this approach, promising cheaper, longer‑running agents with a 90/10 human‑review split.
