This post highlights the power of Elastic and OpenSearch for improving search within the context of Generative AI. The ability to integrate small BERT models directly within these platforms is a fascinating development, showcasing a potential pathway to optimized Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications.
Key Takeaways
- •Elastic and OpenSearch are valuable tools for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) within Large Language Model (LLM) applications.
- •Small BERT models (around 100MB) can be embedded directly into Elastic/OpenSearch for vector embeddings, even on CPU.
- •For smaller document sets, simpler methods like TF-IDF or BM25 can be effective alternatives to more complex embedding models.
