“With ColPali’s capabilities, combined with our scalable architecture and hybrid search, Vespa.ai delivers the fastest and most accurate solution for large-scale RAG and generative AI applications. Vespa is available as a service to simplify deployment further.”

ColPali enhances document retrieval by embedding entire rendered documents, including visual elements, into vector representations optimized for Large Language Models (LLMs). This reduces latency, improves accuracy, and enables more context-aware information retrieval, especially for visually rich content. By treating documents as visual entities rather than text, ColPali eliminates complex preprocessing, preserves visual context, and streamlines the RAG pipeline.

Jon Bratseth, CEO and Founder, Vespa.ai: “With ColPali’s capabilities, combined with our scalable architecture and hybrid search, Vespa.ai delivers the fastest and most accurate solution for large-scale RAG and generative AI applications. Vespa is available as a service to simplify deployment further.”

Vespa is a platform for building and running AI-driven applications for search, recommendation, personalization, and RAG. It handles large data volumes and high query rates, offering efficient data, inference, and logic management. Vespa is available as both a managed service and open source.

Vespa lets you query, organize, and make inferences in vectors, tensors, text and structured data. Scale to billions of constantly changing data items, thousands of queries per second with latencies below 100 milliseconds.
