LlamaIndex

An open-source framework focused on making it easier to connect large language models with your own private or custom data sources.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

LlamaIndex (formerly GPT Index) is an open-source data framework that provides tools for ingesting, structuring, and querying private or domain-specific data with large language models (LLMs), enabling retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications.

BACKGROUND

A large language model (LLM) is a neural network trained on a vast amount of text for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation. LLMs can typically generate, summarize, translate and analyze text in many contexts, and are a foundational technology behind modern chatbots. Biased or inaccurate training data can make an LLM's output less reliable.
