ai Featured Vector Search & RAG: A Practical Mental Model for Semantic and Conversational Search Vector search, semantic search, and RAG are often used interchangeably. This article introduces a simple mental model to distinguish these search types, techniques, and tools to hopefully help you get a clearer idea of when to use each.
ai Vector Search: Implementing Semantic Search with OpenSearch This article walks through a minimal proof of concept for implementing semantic search with OpenSearch. The focus is on showing how embeddings, indexing, and vector search fit together in practice.
ai Vector Search & RAG: Implementing Conversational Search with OpenSearch & Open AI Conversational search builds on retrieval, not just on LLMs. This article shows how a simple RAG layer can be added on top of semantic search using OpenSearch and OpenAI, keeping retrieval and generation separated for clarity.
