How Azure AI Search powers RAG in ChatGPT and global scale apps
Millions of people use Azure AI Search every day without knowing it. You can enable your apps with the same search that enables retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities when you build Custom GPTs or attach files in your ChatGPT prompts. Pablo Castro, Microsoft CVP and Distinguished Engineer Azure AI Search, joins Jeremy Chapman to share how with Azure AI Search, you can create custom applications that retrieve the most relevant information quickly and accurately, even from billions of records. Manage massive-scale datasets while maintaining high-quality search results with ultra-compact, binary quantized vector search indexes that use Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) and oversampling to equal the search accuracy of vector indexes up to 96 times larger. These approaches drive significant cost savings by optimizing your vector indexes without compromising quality. ► QUICK LINKS: - RAG powered by Azure AI Search - Azure AI Search role in ChatGPT - Azure AI Search use case - AT&T - Start in Azure Portal - Massive scale and vector index - Scalar & Binary Quantization - Martyoshka technique - Oversampling - How to build an app using Azure AI Search - See it in action - Enable binary quantization with oversampling - Wrap up ► Link References Get sample code on GitHub at Check out search solutions at ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?
