Jerry Liu created LlamaIndex (formerly GPT Index) as the specialized framework for connecting LLMs with external data sources. While LangChain handles general-purpose LLM orchestration, LlamaIndex excels specifically at RAG systems and knowledge retrieval.
With 100+ data connectors and advanced retrieval strategies, it powers enterprise knowledge bases at major companies. LlamaCloud provides hosted indexing infrastructure. Liu built LlamaIndex to solve the specific problem of making LLMs useful on proprietary enterprise data.
