Features and improvements

Splunk AI Assistant for SPL version 1.0.0 includes the following features and changes:

• Splunk AI Assistant for SPL now runs on AI Service, a multi-tenant, secure cloud service hosted in Splunk Cloud Platform (SCP). This GPU-based cloud AI service makes GPUs available for generating responses to customer prompts.
  • All the AI compute is offloaded to AI Service.
  • No AI compute is running on the customer's search head.
• The assistant runs as a separate component of the Splunk Cloud Platform (SCP) which is not metered like searches against data indexed by Splunk. For the 1.0.0 release, SPL generated by the assistant requires a separate step to Open in Search.
  • Searches executed in the Search app will work like any other Splunk search, and will consume Splunk virtual compute (SVC) resources accordingly.
• This version of the Splunk AI Assistant for SPL includes guardrails that are designed to ensure the safety and appropriateness of interactions with the app. These guardrails might be triggered by certain keywords. If you don't get a response to a prompt, it could be due to these guardrails. In such cases, try rephrasing your prompt. For more information, see Guardrails in Splunk AI Assistant for SPL.
• Changes have been made to what data Splunk AI Assistant for SPL sends Splunk Inc. For details, see Share data in Splunk AI Assistant for SPL.
• The assistant supported languages are Japanese, Spanish, and French.
