OPEA 1.2 brings some major updates, welcome enhancements, and cloud accessibility to the project. The focus of the OPEA engineers has been on reducing redundancy, improving code quality, and continuing to welcome new contributors. So let’s get to it!
We now have integration with LlamaIndex and LangChain to enable OPEA as a backend extending its use further into the current GenAI ecosystem. OPEA is also now available on the AWS marketplace as part of our goal to reach developers where they are actually doing their work. Key contributions with this release include Opensearch integration via an AWS contribution, more OPEA GenAI Examples supported by AMD® and Intel® Gaudi® 3 contributed by those two companies, respectively, and Infosys making two key contributions including Azure automated deployment for OPEA applications and Elasticsearch vector database integration.
