Harmonia: End-to-End RAG Serving Optimization
Researchers have developed Harmonia, a new framework designed to optimize the serving of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. This system addresses the complexities of RAG by enabling flexible workflow composition, intelligent deployment across diverse components, and a runtime controller for load balancing and auto-scaling. In evaluations across four RAG applications, Harmonia demonstrated significant improvements, achieving over double the throughput and substantially reducing service level objective violations compared to commercial alternatives.
