Vector Search - 5 points

Starting from 2024.1 release InterSystems IRIS contains a new technology vector search that allows to build vectors over InterSystems IRIS data and perform search of already indexed vectors. Use it in your solution and collect 5 bonus points. Here is the demo project that leverages it.

IntegratedML usage - 3 points

Use IntegratedML SQL extension of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS Cloud SQL and collect 3 extra bonus points. Here is an IntegratedML demo template.

Embedded Python - 3 points

Use Embedded Python in your application and collect 3 extra points. You'll need at least InterSystems IRIS 2021.2 for it. Embedded Python template and examples.

LLM AI or LangChain usage: Chat GPT, Gemini, Mistral,  and others - 3 points

Collect 3 bonus expert points for building a solution that uses LangChain libs or Large Language Models (LLM) such as ChatGPT, Bard and other AI engines like PaLM, LLaMA and more. AutoGPT usage counts too.

A few examples already could be found in Open Exchange: iris-openai, chatGPT telegram bot.

Here is an article with langchain usage example.

Questionnaire - 2 points

Docker container usage - 2 points

The application gets a 'Docker container' bonus if it uses InterSystems IRIS  running in a docker container. Here is the simplest template to start from.

ZPM Package deployment - 2 points

You can collect the bonus if you build and publish the ZPM(InterSystems Package Manager) package for your Full-Stack application so it could be deployed with:

zpm "install your-multi-model-solution"

command on IRIS with ZPM client installed. 

ZPM client. Documentation.

Online Demo of your project - 2 points
Collect 2 more bonus points if you provision your project to the cloud as an online demo. You can do it on your own or you can use this template - here is an Example. Here is the video on how to use it.

Implement Community Opportunity Idea - 4 points

Implement any idea from the InterSystems Community Ideas portal which has the "Community Opportunity" status. This will give you 4 additional bonus points.

Find a bug in Vector Search, IntegratedML or Embedded Python - 2 points
We want the broader adoption of InterSystems Vector Search, IntegratedML and Embedded Python, so we encourage you to report the bugs you will face during the development of your Python application with IRIS in order to fix it. Please submit the bugs you find for Vector Search, IntegratedML, and Embedded Python and how to reproduce it. You can collect 2 bonus points for the first reproducible bug and 1 point for the second bug for every technology. E.g. if you find 2 bugs in vector search and one bug in Embedded Python, you can collect 2+1+2 = 5 points.
