May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for openvinotoolkit/openvino.genai: Implemented Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) support via a new Text Embedding Pipeline, enabling embedding computation for documents and queries with configurable pooling and normalization. This feature includes tests and CI updates to maintain quality and reliability in embedding workflows, accelerating the development of RAG-enabled applications. Major bug fixes included Whisper beam search decoding: corrected encoder hidden state handling, tensor indexing, and removed a hardcoded generation token limit; added tests to validate beam search correctness, improving generation reliability in practical workloads. CI/test stability enhancements for Whisper: stabilized tests by updating dependencies (optimum-intel) and aligning sample dependencies to latest versions to ensure reliable test runs; unskipped tests and updated OV GenAI samples to the latest version. These changes reduce flaky test outcomes and speed up feedback loops. Overall impact and accomplishments: Delivered end-to-end enhancements for retrieval-based workflows and robust generation with Whisper, resulting in improved product capabilities, reliability, and faster iteration cycles. The work strengthens business value by enabling scalable, accurate document retrieval and generation, and by tightening CI health for ongoing development. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Text Embedding Pipeline implementation, RAG integration, Python development, unit/integration testing, CI/CD practices, dependency management, sample/version maintenance, and end-to-end validation across the GenAI stack.
