Bisheng, launched under the Apache 2.0 License, is an innovative open-source platform designed to facilitate and accelerate the development of Large Language Model (LLM) applications. The platform is named after the inventor of movable type printing, symbolizing its potential to revolutionize the dissemination of knowledge through intelligent applications.
The platform is built to cater to both business users and technical experts. Business users can leverage pre-configured application templates and intuitive form-filling processes to build intelligent applications centered around LLM swiftly. This ease of use ensures that even those without deep technical expertise can develop sophisticated LLM applications.
For developers and experts familiar with LLM technologies, Bisheng offers extensive flexibility. The platform includes hundreds of development components that align with the latest trends in the LLM ecosystem. Users can utilize visual and flexible process orchestration capabilities to create diverse types of LLM applications beyond simple prompting projects.
Bisheng distinguishes itself from other open-source projects by offering enterprise-level features. These include high availability under high concurrency, continuous iteration, and optimization of application operations. The platform is designed to handle real production use cases, making it reliable for enterprise-level deployment. Bisheng also addresses the issue of uneven data quality within enterprises by providing comprehensive unstructured data governance capabilities, which have been honed over years of experience. These capabilities are accessible in the demo environment and are offered without limitations.
The applications that can be built using Bisheng are diverse. They range from analysis report generation, such as contract review and credit investigation reports, to knowledge base Q&A systems, including user manual Q&A and research report knowledge bases. The platform also supports dialogue-based applications like role-playing as an interviewer or foreign language teacher, as well as element extraction tasks from contracts and engineering reports.
Bisheng’s vision extends beyond dialogue-based interactions. The platform aims to support various application forms, including process automation and search functionalities, to meet the evolving needs of enterprise scenarios.
Bisheng offers a robust, flexible, and user-friendly platform for developing LLM applications. By providing tools for both novices and experts and ensuring reliability and scalability for enterprise use, Bisheng is poised to play a significant role in the future of intelligent application development.
