SciPhi-AI/R2R is a framework for rapid development and deployment of production-ready RAG pipelines. The framework enables the deployment, customization, extension, autoscaling, and optimization of RAG pipeline systems, making it easier for the OSS community to use them. It includes several code examples and client applications that demonstrate application deployment and interaction. The core abstractions come in the form of ingestion, embedding, RAG, and eval pipelines.
