AI-powered infrastructure software provider, Progress has confirmed the early-access release of Progress MarkLogic Server 12, delivering native vector support and new relevance-based algorithms.
Customers can now more easily integrate generative AI (GenAI) in their enterprise applications with a flexible Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern and securely ground LLM models in their private data to enable fact-based query responses generated from AI models.
The new features in MarkLogic Server 12 enhance the relevance and accuracy of GenAI responses through improved search techniques. A single API allows users to define, orchestrate and re-rank search scores for faster, flexible and more secure graph RAG implementation.
Progress executive vice president and general manager for application and data platform, John Ainsworth said, “As AI becomes increasingly integrated into the enterprise, it is crucial to not only improve the precision of the results delivered but also to safeguard the enterprise’s valuable data.
“With the latest release of MarkLogic Server, our customers have access to a dependable database management system capable of generating top-quality AI responses, while also protecting their reputation and intellectual property investment.”
Progress also released a new application, MarkLogic Flux to add improved data movement and transformation capabilities to the core functionality of the MarkLogic platform. These include support for more data sources, such as relational databases and cloud storage systems like Amazon S3, as well as better performance through faster ingestion of extremely high-volume data.
The Progress MarkLogic platform, which includes MarkLogic Server, combines multi-model data management with real-time, relevance-based search and semantic capabilities to provide an adaptable, secure foundation for GenAI solutions.
