Definition
LlamaIndex is an orchestration framework designed to connect custom data sources to Large Language Models (LLMs), prioritizing data ingestion, indexing, and retrieval for RAG pipelines. It offers high-level abstractions for complex data structures, trading some granular low-level control for accelerated development of query engines and autonomous agents.
It is a data framework for RAG orchestration, not an LLM model like Meta's Llama 3.
"A specialized universal adapter and filing system that plugs a messy, unorganized basement of files directly into a genius researcher's brain."
