Developers can easily build AI Assistants and Agents with your data. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) mitigates hallucinations, bias, & copyright infringement. AI is now ready for business.
Vectara’s best-in-class retrieval, superior cross-language operation, chat history, and multi-turn generation enable AI Assistants to go many layers deep with high accuracy and minimal hallucinations.
Vectara’s best in class retrieval, enhanced configurability of generation, and API extensibility and scaffolding help turn answers into actions directly in your application with minimal effort.
Vectara is a platform for building AI Assistants and Agents with extraordinary results. As an end-to-end Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) service, Vectara delivers the shortest path to a correct answer/action while mitigating hallucinations and providing high-precision results. Vectara provides secure access controls and comprehensive explainability, allowing companies to avoid risk and provide iron-clad data protection.
Retrieval Augmented Generation as a Service
Breakthrough relevance
Powered by LLMs and Generative AI
Mockingbird is Vectara’s proprietary custom-trained generative large language model (LLM) designed specifically to excel at retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). When provided with facts and asked a question, Mockingbird will limit itself to answering the question using only the information provided to it, mitigating hallucinations, bias, and PII issues. In our benchmarks and human trials, Mockingbird performed at par with OpenAI’s GPT-4.
Boomerang is Vectara’s proprietary, internally developed embedding and retrieval model. This model is responsible for interpreting a natural-language query (NLP) and retrieving the right information from our vector database. Alone, this enables a fully functioning semantic search system. In a RAG system, this information is provided to an LLM so it can refer to it when it generates a response. Boomerang thrives at cross-language queries in which the question being asked is in a different language than the data stored in the vector database. It performs on par or better than industry models.
Hallucinations are a big problem in generative AI. They occur when an LLM produces an answer based on made-up facts. HHEM is a special proprietary model that we trained to be able to evaluate whether the summary or answer produced by an LLM is consistent with the facts provided to it (instead of simply relying on the data it was trained with). Our platform uses HHEM to produce a Factual Consistency Score for our developers, so they can measure the factual consistency of the responses generated by our platform and perform quality control in their end-user applications. We open-sourced part of HHEM, and it is extremely popular (50K downloads last month). It also powers our hallucination leaderboard of various popular LLMs, which has gained a lot of attention.
The Slingshot model reorganizes search results to ensure relevance and avoid redundancy, delivering accurate outcomes across queries. It can be combined with inputs based on your priorities, such as recency or keyword frequency, to ensure the most relevant information rises to the top.
Vectara automatically extracts text from PDF and Office to JSON, HTML, XML, CommonMark, and many more.
Encode at scale with cutting edge zero-shot models using deep neural networks optimized for language understanding.
Segment data into any number of indexes storing vector encodings optimized for low latency and high recall.
Recall candidate results from millions of documents using cutting-edge, zero-shot neural network models.
Recall candidate results from millions of documents using cutting-edge, zero-shot neural network models.
Optionally generate a natural language summary of the top results for Q&A or conversational AI experiences.
Developers can easily build AI Assistants and Agents with your data. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) mitigates hallucinations, bias, & copyright infringement. AI is now ready for business.
Get startedHave conversations with your data. Ask a question, and Vectara gives you summarized answers based entirely on your inputs with zero hallucinations.
Employ an end-to-end configured platform with easy ingest and API operation. Harness multiple LLMs for language detection, retrieval, and reranking.
Our retrieval-augmented generation system produces the least hallucinations. Vectara’s retrieval grounds responses, minimizing hallucinations, with citations and a consistency score (FCS).
We offer SOC-2 Type 2 compliance and rigorous access controls to keep your users and data safe. At Vectara, we do not train our models on customer data. Your data is yours.
Analyze and refine the thought processes of your Agents and Assistants with our observability tools. Vectara gives you full control and transparency.
Most AI hallucinates, trains on your data, and gives you a black box that leaves you spending your time searching for answers.
Data privacy guaranteed
Knowledge-based accuracy
Consistent facts
Executives know they need to start integrating GenAI into their products, and developers and product managers are ready, but trust and security concerns cause trepidation. At Vectara, we've built our platform with this top of mind from day one.
Data encrypted at every stage using military-grade encryption algorithm
Robust role-based access control available. Access granted via API keys or OAuth 2.0
SOC 2-compliant & independently certified
All user data isolated for maximum security. Data can be further segregated into individual corpora for logical separation within an account.
Customers can employ their own encryption keys to hide account data even from Vectara's engineering team.
HIPAA
Vectara is RAG-as-a-service, encapsulating the various components required for a scalable and high-performance RAG pipeline (document processing, an embedding model, a retrieval engine, a reranker, and an LLM) behind an easy-to-use developer API.
Developers use Vectara to build RAG and semantic search applications by using the API to index their documents and respond to user queries with the full power of RAG, while Vectara works behind the scenes to execute the RAG ingest and query flows in a secure and scalable way while maintaining low latency and low TCO.
Vectara offers a 30-day free trial complete with nearly all of the enterprise features of the platform.
