Semantic AI: A Language and an Embedding Model walk into a bar…

Generative AI has reshaped how we build intelligent systems, but true AI reliability goes beyond text generation. Semantic AI shifts the focus from mere language generation to in-depth understanding and structured decision-making, where language models and embedding models work together to power robust applications.
SLMs & LLMs process and generate natural language, enabling structured outputs for APIs and interactive applications. Embedding models, on the other hand, capture semantic relationships within data, enhancing query filtering, task routing, and retrieval accuracy. Together, they create AI systems that are more context-aware, scalable, and precise.
Christian explores how structured outputs from LMs and embedding-driven semantics can work together to improve an AI system's performance. Through a real-world example, he demonstrates how query validation, task routing, and API integration create robust AI-powered interactions.

One of the more pragmatic ways to get going on the current AI hype, and to get some value out of it, is by leveraging semantic search. This is, in itself, a relatively simple concept: You have a bunch of documents and want to find the correct one based on a given query. The semantic part now allows you to find the correct document based on the meaning of its contents, in contrast to simply finding words or parts of words in it like we usually do with lexical search. In our last projects, we gathered some experience with search bots, and with this article, I'd love to share our insights with you.

With the rise of powerful AI models and services, questions come up on how to integrate those into our applications and make reasonable use of them. While other languages like Python already have popular and feature-rich libraries like LangChain, we are missing these in .NET and C#. But there is a new kid on the block that might change this situation. Welcome Semantic Kernel by Microsoft!
