Redis OM .NET has evolved to embrace the transformative world of vector database technology, now supporting Redis vector search and seamless integration with OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Hugging Face, and ML.NET. This talk highlights the latest advancements in Redis OM .NET, focusing on how it simplifies the complex process of vector indexing, data modeling, and querying for AI-powered applications. Vector databases are redefining data handling, enabling semantic searches across text, images, and audio encoded as vectors. Redis OM .NET simplifies this innovative approach, making it accessible even for those new to vector data. We will explore the new capabilities of Redis OM .NET, including intuitive vector search interfaces and semantic caching, which reduce the overhead of large language model (LLM) calls.

- 52. VSS Use cases Vector Similarity Search Use Cases Question & Answering
- 53. VSS Use cases Vector Similarity Search Use Cases Context retrieval for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Pairing Redis Enterprise with Large Language Models (LLM) such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, you can give the LLM access to external contextual knowledge. ➔ Enables more accurate answers and prevents model 'hallucinations'. ➔ An LLM combines text fragments in a (most often) semantically correct way.
- 54. VSS Use cases Vector Similarity Search Use Cases LLM Conversion Memory The idea is to improve the model quality and personalization through an adaptive memory. ➔ Persist all conversation history (memories) as embeddings in a vector database. ➔ A conversational agent checks for relevant memories to aid or personalize the LLM behaviour. ➔ Allows users to change topics without misunderstandings seamlessly.
- 55. VSS Use cases Vector Similarity Search Use Cases Semantic Caching Because LLM completions are expensive, it helps to reduce the overall costs of the ML-powered application. ➔ Use vector database to cache input prompts. ➔ Cache hits evaluated by semantic similarity.
