Use this integration for FreeAbout SiliconFlow
SiliconFlow provides a Model as a Service (MaaS) platform called SiliconCloud that makes deploying AI models simple and cost-effective. The platform offers access to leading open-source models including Qwen2.5, DeepSeek-V2.5, and BGE, with some models available for free use.
The service features OpenAI-compatible APIs and built-in model acceleration, allowing developers to quickly integrate various AI capabilities including large language models, image generation, and embedding models into their applications.
Why Zilliz Cloud and SiliconFlow
SiliconFlow and Zilliz Cloud work together to simplify building production-ready AI applications. SiliconFlow handles model serving and inference, while Zilliz Cloud provides the vector database infrastructure needed for efficient similarity search and retrieval. By combining these services, developers can create sophisticated AI applications like RAG systems without managing complex infrastructure. The integration offers consistent performance, scalability, and reliability needed for production deployments.
How Zilliz Cloud and SiliconFlow Work Together
The integration works through complementary APIs - SiliconFlow handles model inference including text embedding generation, while Zilliz Cloud stores and indexes these embeddings for fast retrieval. Applications can use SiliconFlow's embedding models to convert input data into vectors, store them in Zilliz Cloud, and later retrieve similar items using vector search.
For example, in a RAG system, documents are embedded using SiliconFlow's models and stored in Zilliz Cloud. When a query comes in, it's embedded using the same model and Zilliz Cloud finds the most relevant documents through vector similarity search.
