Vectara Integration
Vectara is a developer-first API platform for easily building conversational search experiences that feature best-in-class Retrieval, Summarization, and “Grounded Generation” that all but eliminates hallucinations.
With OpenSSM, you can simply use Vectara with just a few lines of code.
from openssm import VectaraSSM
ssm = VectaraSSM()
ssm.read_directory("path/to/directory")
response = ssm.discuss(conversation_id, "what is xyz?")
Integration Architecture
In the OpenSSM context, Vectara is treated as a backend, as shown below..
LlamaIndexSSM is simply an SSM with a passthrough (dummy) SLM that sends user queries directory to the Vectara backend.
