Real-Time Analytics News For The Week Ending June 29
DTInsights, Monday, July 1st, 2024
In this week's real-time analytics news: DataStax announced major updates to its Generative AI development platform.
DataStax announced major updates to its Generative AI development platform that help make retrieval augmented generation (RAG) powered application development faster. The announcements include:
In April, DataStax acquired Langflow, now, DataStax released Langflow 1.0, which includes a version of Langflow that's hosted in the DataStax Cloud platform.
DataStax Vectorize simplifies vector generation by letting developers choose an embedding service, configure it with Astra DB, and start building right away. Most embedding is currently handled 'client-side'- meaning that Developers need to learn many different APIs. With DataStax Vectorize, vector embedding now happens on the server.
DataStax has partnered with the top embedding providers to offer robust choice, with simplified implementation that only requires users to configure a single API to create embeddings. As a result, developers only need to learn one API to now access the eight most popular embedding providers and compare results between them. Partner embedding providers include Azure OpenAI, Hugging Face, Jina AI, Mistral AI, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Upstage AI, and Voyage AI.
DataStax also announced additions of several key features, integrations, and partnerships, all available now in the RAGStack 1.0 release. The production-ready, out of the box solution streamlines RAG implementation at enterprise scale, with an efficient set of tools, techniques, and governance.
