🤗 Hi there,

🚀 We have a lot of big Weaviate product news in this issue:

  • Weaviate v1.19

  • Weaviate Cloud Services update

  • Google PaLM modules

Let’s get right into it…

If you haven’t tried the Weaviate Cloud Service (WCS) yet, now might be the time! We just rolled out a major upgrade to WCS, including new features like:

  • Self-service provisioning

  • New query console

  • API Key Management

  • Cluster administration & monitoring

We are happy to announce the release of Weaviate 1.19, which brings a set of great features, performance improvements, and fixes:

  • Group by arbitrary property

  • Faster text filtering & tokenization

  • Generative Cohere Module

  • Consistency tuning for replication

  • gRPC API support

You can learn more about each of these points in more detail.

Announcing two brand new Weaviate modules will help you to unlock the full potential of Google's latest PaLM large language model (LLM) 🚀

📝 Text2vec-palm: This module enables the effortless creation of vector embeddings and the execution of semantic (nearText) queries, giving you unparalleled control over your data.

🔎 Generative-palm: With this module, you can unleash the power of generative search to uncover hidden insights and patterns in your data.
