AI DIAl Core

Introduction​

  • Refer to DIAL Core GitHub repository to view the project source code and configuration guidelines.
  • Refer to AI DIAL Components to view the AI DIAL Core overview.

AI DIAL Core serves as the primary system component, acting as a main integration center, that employs a Unified Protocol (OpenAI compatible) for communication between internal and external clients, including LLM models, Applications, and other to access all its features in a governed and unified manner.

AI DIAL Core is headless and is the only mandatory component. It includes all the key platform features:

Unified API​

AI DIAL provides a single Unified API, based on OpenAI API, for accessing all language models, embedding models and applications. The key design principle is to create a unification layer that allows all models and applications to be interchangeable, delivering a cohesive conversational experience and future-proof development of custom GenAI applications.

Unified API Supports:​
  • Streaming
  • Token usage (even in the streaming mode)
  • Seeds: helps to achieve deterministic results for LLM responses.
  • Tools: (formerly known as functions ) are specialized utilities that streamline development by implementing standardized methods for LLMs to access external APIs.
  • Multi-modality: allows supporting non-textual communications such as image-to-text, text-to-image, file transfers and more.
  • Compatibility with OpenAI

This approach streamlines communication and fosters interoperability by eliminating the need for multiple protocols for each integration. In case of Addons, they are expected to provide own OpenAPI specification.
