IT Manager

I am an AWS Cloud Architect and technical trainer, certified with Amazon Web Services since 2014.  I'm experienced with architecture, operations, and security for distributed cloud applications.

I'd like to thank the maintainers of llama-index for making some major changes in naming conventions in the python library, thus rendering many/most/(almost all?) of the various examples floating around on the internet completely broken.

FYI: if you replace llama_index with llama_index.core in an import statement it will fix at least some of the issues.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled testing of smart chunking with RAGs.
