Elastic announced Playground, a low-code interface that enables developers to build RAG applications using Elasticsearch in minutes. Playground's intuitive interface allows users to A/B test different large language models (LLMs) and refine evaluation mechanisms to ground answers with the proprietary data indexed into Elasticsearch indices. Playground can leverage transformer models directly in Elasticsearch and is augmented by the Elasticsearch Open inference API, which integrates models from a growing list of inference providers, including Cohere and Azure AI Studio.

Playground currently supports chat completion models from OpenAI and Azure OpenAI Service.
