What's changing
On May 3, 2024, Alibaba Cloud Model Studio released a major upgrade. After this upgrade, you can no longer create applications using legacy official pre-built application templates, such as the process orchestration application and RAG-enhanced application templates. To create new applications, refer to the Application Types guide. New Model Studio applications can directly call a knowledge base, workflow, or plugin.
Affected templates
The following legacy official pre-built application templates are affected:
-
Retrieval & Plugin Invocation Enhancement
-
Enterprise Knowledge Retrieval Enhancement
-
Enterprise Knowledge Retrieval Enhancement-Max
-
RAG-enhanced Application Template
-
Process Orchestration Application
You can view your existing applications in My Applications.
Change details
1. Creation from legacy official pre-built templates disabled
Effective date: May 3, 2024
Details:
Starting May 3, 2024, you can no longer create applications using the legacy official pre-built application templates. Please refer to the Application Types guide to create new Model Studio applications, which can directly call a knowledge base, workflow, or plugin. This change does not affect your existing applications. You can continue to view, edit, test, and call them from My Applications. Alibaba Cloud will notify you in advance if these applications are scheduled for future retirement or decommissioning.
2. Migrating data from legacy RAG applications
Effective date: May 3, 2024
Details:
As of May 3, 2024, Enterprise Knowledge Base-V1 is no longer maintained. Your previously uploaded RAG data remains accessible under Enterprise Knowledge Base-V1 in the menu. Applications built on Enterprise Knowledge Base-V1 are not affected at this time. You can continue to view, edit, test, and call them from My Applications. Alibaba Cloud will notify you in advance if Enterprise Knowledge Base-V1 is scheduled for future retirement or decommissioning.
-
New Model Studio applications only support the new knowledge base. For an example, see Quickly build a RAG application with low code. The new applications do not support Enterprise Knowledge Base-V1.
-
For instructions on migrating your data from Enterprise Knowledge Base-V1 to the new knowledge base, see the Enterprise knowledge base migration plan section below.
-
Users who activated Model Studio after 00:00 on May 3, 2024, use the new knowledge base by default.
Enterprise knowledge base migration plan
Enterprise Knowledge Base-V1 is no longer maintained. We recommend that you migrate your private knowledge to the new knowledge base as soon as possible. Alibaba Cloud does not provide an official migration tool or service for this process. The new knowledge base offers richer functionality and supports more document formats.

Documents |
We recommend creating an unstructured knowledge base to manage your documents. You can import documents by uploading them locally or importing them from Object Storage Service (OSS). If you upload files locally, you must manually update the knowledge base later. If you import from OSS, you can automate updates by integrating Object Storage Service (OSS), Function Compute (FC), and the Model Studio knowledge base API. You can upload files locally through the console or using the API. Importing from OSS is currently supported only through the console. For more information, see Knowledge Base: Step 1. Import data. |

FAQ |
We recommend creating a structured knowledge base to manage your FAQ data. You can build a structured knowledge base by uploading a local document or by connecting to ApsaraDB RDS. If you upload a local document, you must manually update the knowledge base later. If you connect to ApsaraDB RDS, updates from your data tables are automatically synchronized with the knowledge base. You can currently use both methods only in the console. For more information, see Knowledge Base: Step 1. Import data. |
