Hi! Is there an illustration about how

Hi! Is there an illustration about how SummaryIndex and other summary related things are implemented in LlamaIndex? In simple terms. Would be great to understand the intuition behind those implementations, rather than code

The indexes are pretty straight forward.

Vector index retrieves a top k

Summary index retrieves everything, no matter what
Plain Text
Summary index retrieves everything, no matter what


Is there any flowchart type of illustration how it works? Now I'm reading this section: https://docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable/examples/response_synthesizers/long_context_test/

and it is very interesting to me. Especially the evaluation part.

But I don't really understand how each of those response_mode s are implemented to make hypotheses about why some response modes work in some cases and don't work in other cases. Having some illustrations would help me to choose a response mode based on my use case.
Theres no flow chart. I mean, theres two parts to the logic, how you retrieve text (i.e. retrieval) and how you use that text to make a response (response synthesis)

So retrieval, it litterally just takes everything you've put into it, no top k, no filtering

For synthesis, it depends on the response mode/syntesizer you use
@Logan M Yeah, that seems close to what I was looking for: https://docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable/module_guides/deploying/query_engine/response_modes/?h=response+mode (contextual explanation w/out code). Thanks!
