Collaborative, open-source projects like OPEA fuel our excitement for the future of gen AI because of the ability it has to drive acceleration of both innovation and adoption within enterprise organizations. The power of RAG is undeniable, and its integration into gen AI creates a ballast of truth that enables businesses to confidently tap into their data and use it to grow their business.

As GenAI matures, integration into existing IT is a natural and necessary step. The world needs GenAI and vectors as part of a general purpose RDBMS, and we have already demonstrated our ability to deliver this through MariaDB Server. We see huge opportunities for core MariaDB users - and users of the related MySQL Server – to build RAG solutions. It's logical to keep the source data, the AI vector data, and the output data in one and the same RDBMS. The OPEA community, as part of LF AI & Data, is an obvious entity to simplify Enterprise GenAI adoption.

The OPEA initiative is crucial for the future of AI development. Advocating for a foundation of open source and standards - from datasets to formats to APIs and models, enables organizations and enterprises to build transparently. The AI data infrastructure must also be built on these open principles. Only by having open source and open standard solutions, from models to infrastructure and down to the data are we able to create trust, ensure transparency and promote accountability.

We are pleased to collaborate with the Open Platform for Enterprise AI (OPEA), which offers essential guidance in a dense and complex market. Within OPEA, Yellowbrick serves as a data provider—recognizing data as the crucial fuel for AI. Our data warehouse incorporates advanced vector capabilities, enabling seamless integration of AI with current systems and workflows. This ensures that AI augments rather than interrupts business processes, simplifying AI adoption.

We firmly believe that vector databases are integral to the future of open generative AI, which is why we donated the Milvus vector database to the Linux Foundation back in 2020. Our support of OPEA is an extension of that commitment to creating a framework alongside Intel that fosters extensible, accessible, and scalable AI platforms for enterprise developers.

We are seeing tremendous enthusiasm among our customer base for RAG, with organizations deploying RAG applications on-premises to empower employees and customers to find the information they need faster, creating greater efficiencies in customer service and document search. The constructs behind RAG can be universally applied to a variety of use cases, making a community-driven approach that drives consistency and interoperability for RAG applications an important step forward in helping all organizations to safely embrace the many benefits that AI has to offer.
