A file-level tree that lets an LLM reason over a document corpus
PageIndex has introduced a new File System designed for massive-scale document search, allowing reasoning over millions of documents. This system aims to improve upon traditional vector-based retrieval methods that often struggle with context and relevance. The PageIndex File System is now available for enterprise users, with a cloud edition expected soon.
- ▪PageIndex has crossed 26k GitHub stars and serves over 23k cloud users in production.
- ▪The new PageIndex File System allows a single index to reason over millions of documents without the limitations of traditional vector-based methods.
- ▪Classic vector-based retrieval often fails due to limited representation power and the inability to maintain context.
