Lame Index: An Open-Source Data Framework

Lame Index is an open-source data framework that connects data sources to large language models, making it a popular tool for retrieval-augment generation. Fine-tuning the embedding model can enhance retrieval performance on specific domains. Recursive retrieval allows users to retrieve documents by summaries first and then explore different chunks within them. Implementing advanced use cases and adding drum-like capabilities to applications requires moving beyond productionizing chatbots. The Lame Index mission is to unlock language model capabilities over users' own data.
