Progress MarkLogic Server 12 boosts LLM accuracy by 33% with semantic and graph RAG approach.

Progress Software has released MarkLogic Server 12, which introduces advanced semantic search and graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities. This enables organizations to ground generative AI in their own trusted data, resulting in more accurate, secure, and context-aware results. The platform supports scalable, rapid, and cost-effective retrieval on-premises or in the cloud, with features like native vector search, Virtual Views, BM25 relevance ranking, and advanced semantic algorithms.

Title: Progress Software Announces General Availability of MarkLogic Server 12

Progress Software (Nasdaq: PRGS) has announced the general availability of MarkLogic Server 12, a significant advancement in AI-powered digital experience and infrastructure software. This latest release introduces advanced semantic search and graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities, enabling organizations to ground generative AI in their own trusted data. The platform supports scalable, rapid, and cost-effective retrieval, both on-premises and in the cloud, with features such as native vector search, Virtual Views, BM25 relevance ranking, and advanced semantic algorithms.

MarkLogic Server 12 is designed to deliver more accurate, secure, and context-aware results. Early adopters have reported an average 33% increase in Large Language Model (LLM) response accuracy and significantly faster information discovery times. For instance, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) reduced its content acquisition to product delivery timeline from 18 months to just 90 days, an 83% reduction that directly impacts time-to-market.

The platform's capabilities have proven valuable across various industries. A financial services firm improved LLM response accuracy from 70% to 95%, cutting subject matter expert (SME) research time from hours to minutes. A global pharmaceutical company accelerated policy and architecture document discovery to seconds, increasing correct answers by 73%. A leading agribusiness raised correct answer rates from 50% to 90% with an AI-driven R&D hub. A leading food technology provider achieved 99% accuracy and completeness from their LLM implementation.

Progress Software is showcasing its semantic search and graph RAG approach at Ai4, North America's largest artificial intelligence industry conference, taking place August 11–13, 2025, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Attendees can learn more during AI Strategist Philip Miller’s session, “Trusted AI: Unlock Data Value,” where he will demonstrate how organizations can unlock their data’s full potential through proven RAG methodologies.

MarkLogic Server 12 is now available. For more information, visit [Progress Software's website](https://www.progress.com/marklogic/server/latest-updates).
