Definition
An open-source orchestration framework designed to streamline the construction of LLM-powered applications by providing modular abstractions for chaining together prompts, models, and data retrievers. It facilitates the development of RAG pipelines and autonomous agents by standardized interfacing with third-party tools and vector databases.
An orchestration middleware, not a standalone large language model or vector database.
"A set of interlocking LEGO bricks with pre-molded connectors that allow disparate parts—like engines (LLMs) and fuel tanks (Databases)—to snap together into a functional machine."
