Deprecated Terms

As LlamaIndex continues to evolve, many class names and APIs have been adjusted, improved, and deprecated.

The following is a list of previously popular terms that have been deprecated, with links to their replacements.

GPTSimpleVectorIndex

This has been renamed to VectorStoreIndex, as well as unifying all vector indexes to a single unified interface. You can integrate with various vector databases by modifying the underlying vector_store.

LLMPredictor

The LLMPredictor object is no longer intended to be used by users. Instead, you can setup an LLM directly and pass it into the ServiceContext. The LLM class itself has similar attributes and methods as the LLMPredictor.

PromptHelper and max_input_size/

The max_input_size parameter for the prompt helper has since been replaced with context_window.

The PromptHelper in general has been deprecated in favour of specifying parameters directly in the service_context and node_parser.
