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.

Michael GilfixChief Product and Engineering Officer, KX

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.

Kaj ArnöCEO, MariaDB Foundation

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.

AB PeriasamyCEO and co-Founder, MinIO
