New Release: “Grounded Generation”

Vectara is enhancing its platform by introducing "Grounded Generation," a concept aimed at improving the reliability of generative AI by ensuring it retrieves and summarizes only relevant information, thereby reducing "hallucinations" or fabrications commonly associated with AI. This innovation is part of a broader strategy to make AI interactions safer and more accurate, allowing users to ask questions and receive dependable answers based on their data. Vectara also introduces "Hybrid Search," a feature that combines neural language models with lexical configurations to improve search accuracy for exact matches, such as product SKUs and unusual names, using a customizable "lambda" value. These enhancements are designed to help users make informed decisions quickly by providing relevant information in natural language, and they are available through a free account with options for more extensive usage. Vectara's mission is to eliminate language barriers by enabling cross-language hybrid searches, offering summarized answers in users' preferred languages, and fostering a more intuitive interaction with information in the AI era.
