Summary

An integration between LlamaIndex and Metaphor has been launched to enhance the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by enabling dynamic search and retrieval over the internet, rather than relying solely on static knowledge sources. LlamaIndex provides data agents that can perform complex tasks using a variety of tools, while Metaphor offers a semantic search API that connects LLMs to internet data, allowing them to perform highly nuanced searches. This integration aims to improve the performance of LLMs in real-world applications by combining the reasoning capabilities of LlamaIndex's data agents with Metaphor's neural search engine, enabling more comprehensive and accurate information retrieval. The integration is demonstrated through a notebook that showcases various use cases, such as automating workflow tasks and retrieving specific information, illustrating the potential of this combined approach to overcome existing limitations in LLMs and retrieval-augmented generation systems.
