We are thrilled to announce the Beta release of OCI Generative AI Agents service in the ORD (us-chicago-1) region. The Beta release includes the first agent of this service, a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) agent. 

The RAG agent enables customers to converse with their data through a natural language chatbot interface. Behind the scenes, the agent relies on the large language models (LLMs) hosted in the Generative AI service, including the text generation models from Cohere and Meta, and the Cohere rerank + embeddings models.

Generative AI Agents (Beta) is fully managed so you don't need to provision models in the Generative AI service and is optimized to work with data stored in OCI Search with OpenSearch clusters. 

To access the service in Beta, sign up through the Beta program and provide us details on your use case. For information about the service, see the Generative AI Agents documentation.
