Chat Models​

Azure OpenAI​

Microsoft Azure, often referred to as Azure is a cloud computing platform run by Microsoft, which offers access, management, and development of applications and services through global data centers. It provides a range of capabilities, including software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Microsoft Azure supports many programming languages, tools, and frameworks, including Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems.

Azure OpenAI is an Azure service with powerful language models from OpenAI including the GPT-3, Codex and Embeddings model series for content generation, summarization, semantic search, and natural language to code translation.

Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud that are accessible via the industry standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, Network File System (NFS) protocol, and Azure Files REST API. Azure Files are based on the Azure Blob Storage.

Azure Blob Storage is designed for:

  • Serving images or documents directly to a browser.
  • Storing files for distributed access.
  • Streaming video and audio.
  • Writing to log files.
  • Storing data for backup and restore, disaster recovery, and archiving.

Vector Stores​

Azure Cosmos DB​

AI agents can rely on Azure Cosmos DB as a unified memory system solution, enjoying speed, scale, and simplicity. This service successfully enabled OpenAI's ChatGPT service to scale dynamically with high reliability and low maintenance. Powered by an atom-record-sequence engine, it is the world's first globally distributed NoSQL, relational, and vector database service that offers a serverless mode.

Below are two available Azure Cosmos DB APIs that can provide vector store functionalities.

Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB (vCore)​

Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB vCore makes it easy to create a database with full native MongoDB support. You can apply your MongoDB experience and continue to use your favorite MongoDB drivers, SDKs, and tools by pointing your application to the API for MongoDB vCore account's connection string. Use vector search in Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB vCore to seamlessly integrate your AI-based applications with your data that's stored in Azure Cosmos DB.

Installation and Setup​

See detail configuration instructions.

We need to install pymongo python package.

pip install pymongo
Deploy Azure Cosmos DB on Microsoft Azure​

Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB vCore provides developers with a fully managed MongoDB-compatible database service for building modern applications with a familiar architecture.

With Cosmos DB for MongoDB vCore, developers can enjoy the benefits of native Azure integrations, low total cost of ownership (TCO), and the familiar vCore architecture when migrating existing applications or building new ones.

See a usage example.

from langchain_community.vectorstores import AzureCosmosDBVectorSearch

Azure Cosmos DB NoSQL​

Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL now offers vector indexing and search in preview. This feature is designed to handle high-dimensional vectors, enabling efficient and accurate vector search at any scale. You can now store vectors directly in the documents alongside your data. This means that each document in your database can contain not only traditional schema-free data, but also high-dimensional vectors as other properties of the documents. This colocation of data and vectors allows for efficient indexing and searching, as the vectors are stored in the same logical unit as the data they represent. This simplifies data management, AI application architectures, and the efficiency of vector-based operations.

Installation and Setup​

See detail configuration instructions.

We need to install azure-cosmos python package.

pip install azure-cosmos
Deploy Azure Cosmos DB on Microsoft Azure​

Azure Cosmos DB offers a solution for modern apps and intelligent workloads by being very responsive with dynamic and elastic autoscale. It is available in every Azure region and can automatically replicate data closer to users. It has SLA guaranteed low-latency and high availability.

Azure AI Search​

Azure AI Search (formerly known as Azure Search or Azure Cognitive Search ) is a cloud search service that gives developers infrastructure, APIs, and tools for building a rich search experience over private, heterogeneous content in web, mobile, and enterprise applications.

Search is foundational to any app that surfaces text to users, where common scenarios include catalog or document search, online retail apps, or data exploration over proprietary content. When you create a search service, you'll work with the following capabilities:

  • A search engine for full text search over a search index containing user-owned content
  • Rich indexing, with lexical analysis and optional AI enrichment for content extraction and transformation
  • Rich query syntax for text search, fuzzy search, autocomplete, geo-search and more
  • Programmability through REST APIs and client libraries in Azure SDKs
  • Azure integration at the data layer, machine learning layer, and AI (AI Services)

See set up instructions.
