DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform Now Integrates with LlamaIndex

DigitalOcean has announced that its Gradient AI Platform now integrates with LlamaIndex, a popular framework for building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications, simplifying the process of connecting the platform's Knowledge Base and Large Language Models (LLMs) directly into LlamaIndex workflows. This integration eliminates the need for additional infrastructure and complex setups, allowing users to build RAG applications efficiently with just two new packages available on PyPI: llama-index-retrievers-digitalocean-gradientai and llama-index-llms-digitalocean-gradientai. These packages support hybrid search, metadata filtering, async operations, and streaming responses, facilitating the development of various applications such as support assistants, internal tools, and research tools. This marks the beginning of ongoing expansions of the Gradient AI Platform's integrations with popular AI frameworks, offering users a streamlined path from a Knowledge Base to a production RAG application.
