• Affected documents:
  • ATRIA application

1.3 - Atria Model Gateway changelog

Atria Model Gateway changelog

Changed

2024-12-01 - Included calls to OpenAI and consumed tokens in logs

• In past releases, ATRIA only generated operational logs, which were volatile and deleted after 7 days. From the current release onwards, the purpose is improving the logging and, consequently, the monitoring process for the different stages of the RAG chain.
• As a first step, Kiss release includes the combination of different requests within the RAG chain under a unique application. For that, the RAG will use the same application that has received from atria-model-gateway to execute the calls to OpenAI. With this unification, all the tokens consumed in every write call to OpenAI can be logged and registered.

2024-12-19 - Completed document for ATRIA configuration

• The guidelines for ATRIA configuration have been completed with different scenarios and processes for the modification of atria-model-gateway.

Atria RAG generate DB changelog

Changed

2024-12-19 - Improved atria-rag-generate-db operation

• atria-rag-generate-db keeps a record of the current state of documents and related configuration for data sources, so it only feeds documents that have been modified or added since the last update. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to launch it per project, it can be launched for all projects at once.
• Affected documents:
  • atria-rag-generate-db

1.5 - Atria RAG Server changelog

Atria RAG Server changelog

Changed

2024-12-19 - Deleted application_name from configuration

• In atria-rag-server configuration, the application_name field has been removed, as it is no longer necessary to define exclusive applications for the RAG. The RAG will use the same application it receives, to call atria-model-gateway.

• Affected documents:

  • atria-rag-server default configuration: LLMs fields

2024-12-19 - Completed document for ATRIA configuration

• The guidelines for ATRIA configuration have been completed with different scenarios and processes for the modification of atria-rag-server.
