Lucidworks AI is an advanced suite of AI-powered data discovery and search capabilities designed to enhance user experiences across various industries by using pre-trained embedding models, custom embedding models, and generative AI (Gen-AI) models. Lucidworks AI is easy to use and integrates seamlessly with Lucidworks Platform and Fusion.
This article describes features that are only available in certain packages. See Lucidworks Feature Limited Availability for details, or reach out to your Lucidworks representative.

Implement Lucidworks AI

Lucidworks AI is available for Fusion 5.9.5 and later, and requires a valid Lucidworks platform license.
  1. Configure the Lucidworks AI gateway
  2. Set up Fusion and Lucidworks AI pipeline stages
  3. Identify which of the following models will best suit your organization’s goals:

​
Pre-trained embedding models

Lucidworks provides state-of-the-art pre-trained embedding models to support semantic vector search (SVS). You can use Lucidworks AI to choose the models that best suit your organizational needs. Lucidworks consistently evaluates and tests new models and enhancements to existing models. When an enhancement or a new model is verified to be effective on the platform, it is released.

​
Custom embedding model training

The Custom model training user interface lets you train and deploy custom models that Lucidworks provides, and it displays information about the custom models deployed on your site. You can also use the Lucidworks AI Models API to perform those tasks. Custom trained models are essential for ecommerce and other use cases with a domain-specific language. Custom model training uses:
  • Signals data that enables optimization for particular business use cases and metrics.
  • Graphics processing units (GPUs) for optimal performance.
The Lucidworks AI model training user interface provides evaluation metrics to easily compare trained models. Lucidworks provides small and efficient custom models that scale to thousands of queries per second (QPS) without decreasing the quality of embeddings.

​
Gen-AI with open and closed source models

Lucidworks provides Gen-AI use cases such as retrieval augmented generation (RAG), summarization, and keyword extraction. New use cases are added on a regular basis, and are accessible immediately through the Fusion stages integration with Lucidworks AI.
