KIOXIA AiSAQ (All-in-Storage ANNS with Product Quantization) is a vector search engine technology designed to enhance the scalability of vector databases while minimizing the reliance on DRAM. It allows organizations to perform efficient vector searches in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines by leveraging SSD storage, thus addressing the growing concerns related to DRAM usage in large datasets.
How does AiSAQ improve DRAM utilization?
AiSAQ technology has demonstrated a significant reduction in DRAM utilization, achieving approximately a 396x decrease compared to traditional DRAM-based strategies. This is accomplished by offloading vector indexes to SSDs, allowing for the handling of larger datasets without the constraints of limited DRAM resources.
What role does Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) play?
RAG enhances LLMs by providing access to external information that the model may not have learned during its training. This technique allows LLMs to generate more accurate and relevant responses by retrieving context-specific data, thus avoiding the need for costly retraining while also enabling access to sensitive information without compromising the model's integrity.
