DataStax Launches RAGStack, Simplifying RAG for Generative AI
DataStax has introduced RAGStack, a ready-made solution for implementing retrieval augmented generation (RAG) applications with LangChain. RAG combines retrieval-based and generative AI methods for real-time, contextually relevant responses.
RAGStack simplifies the implementation process, providing a preselected set of open-source software, including LangServe, LangChain Templates, LangSmith, Apache Cassandra, and Astra DB vector database.
This eliminates the need for bespoke solutions, offering developers a comprehensive generative AI stack. RAGStack aims to enhance performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness in implementing RAG for generative AI applications.
