In this 20-minute technical session, we’ll skip the basics and dive into the InterSystems IRIS-specific innovations behind our Vector Search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities. Instead of a general introduction to RAG, we’ll explore deeper technical elements—including our implementation of HNSW indexing, the EMBEDDING datatype, and advanced techniques like deferred indexing and smart chunking strategies. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how these innovations tackle common LLM challenges and deliver robust, under-the-hood performance — offering a unique, below-the-SQL-surface perspective on what powers InterSystems IRIS.

🗣 Presenter: @Boya Song, Senior Systems Developer at InterSystems
