Canopy
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) framework
Canopy is an open-source retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework developed by Pinecone to simplify the process of building applications that combine large language models with external knowledge sources. The system provides a complete pipeline for transforming raw text data into searchable embeddings, storing them in a vector database, and retrieving relevant context for language model responses. It is designed to handle many of the complex components required for a RAG workflow, including document chunking, embedding generation, prompt construction, and chat history management.
