ChatGPT Retrieval Plugin, Jobs, Ranking Models, and more...

🤗 Hello, Weaviate friends – It's good to see you again! 

🚚 We have loads of news to share, so let’s get right into it.

The ChatGPT Retrieval Plugin

🚀 Last week, we announced ChatGPT's Retrieval Plugin powered by Weaviate's Vector Database. You can now conduct generative searches using your own data and overcome ChatGPT's lack of long-term memory! 

🔌 ChatGPT can use App plugins to perform actions in the real world and also use the strengths of this App network.

🌐 🔎 The retrieval plugin has the potential to be the most widely used plugin as it will allow users to conduct generative search using ChatGPT over their own data.
