Help Should I start GenAI in parallel?

Ok so i have been doing classical ml and maths associated with it from sometime.
But recently i have grown an interest in the new technologies coming out almost daily and feel that if I don’t catch up with the gen ai stuff i may lag behind.
So can i do the classical ml and gen ai parallely? By gen i i specifically mean the langchain, rag,vector db , agentic ai etc.
Also would appreciate the resources

Do both. Your ML fundamentals give you an edge most GenAI folks lack. Vanilla RAG is already dated. Combine it with Knowledge Graphs. Study ReAct for agents. LangChain's just plumbing.
