Stardog, a leading enterprise data management and knowledge graph company, has been at the forefront of the data revolution since its inception in 2006. Recognizing the importance of data in shaping businesses in the 21st century, founder and CEO Kendall Clark set out to digitize and make data instantly accessible. With $40 million in funding and clients such as NASA and the Department of Defense, Stardog has established itself as a trusted provider in the industry.
As the demand for generative AI continues to grow, Stardog has unveiled its latest innovation called “Karaoke.” Developed in partnership with Nvidia and Supermicro, Karaoke is an on-premises server that hosts Stardog’s Voicebox Large Language Model (LLM) platform. This platform allows users without technical training to type natural language queries and receive answers using their own company’s structured data.
Karaoke is specifically designed for businesses that are regulated and cannot move their data to the cloud. By bringing the cloud to them and providing self-serve data access, Karaoke bridges the gap between regulated industries and the benefits of AI. It offers multiple sizes and configurations to accommodate different needs, ranging from a small server to an enterprise-grade model with 2304 CPU cores.
The Voicebox LLM layer within Karaoke acts as a translator, converting user queries into programming language that data scientists would use. This layer retrieves information from Stardog’s Knowledge Graph, ensuring accurate and reliable results. To maintain accuracy, Stardog employs a Safety RAG design pattern that guarantees a hallucination-free experience. By never showing users information solely from the large language model, Stardog eliminates the risk of providing inaccurate data.
Instead of relying solely on the LLM to summarize or retrieve data, Voicebox returns programmatic versions of user queries that access the company’s database. If the LLM layer doesn’t understand a query or lacks the necessary data, it simply informs the user that it doesn’t know how to answer the question. To enhance transparency, Voicebox provides a digital trail of where the information was retrieved, complete with citations and links.
In terms of pricing and availability, Stardog plans to offer the Voicebox LLM layer at $39 per user per month. The Karaoke box pricing varies based on the number of users and hardware required. It is typically leased to customers on a 3-to-5-year timeframe. This pricing model makes Karaoke an attractive solution for regulated industries that want to harness the power of generative AI while adhering to compliance mandates.
Stardog’s Karaoke sets a new standard for the secure and compliant deployment of AI technologies in the enterprise realm. As the demand for AI tools continues to rise across industries, Stardog is well-positioned to lead the way in providing safe and effective on-premises GenAI applications.
