Ecosystem

🚀 Overview

NOTE: This README is not updated as frequently as the documentation. Please check out the documentation above for the latest updates!

Context

  • LLMs are a phenomenonal piece of technology for knowledge generation and reasoning. They are pre-trained on large amounts of publicly available data.
  • How do we best augment LLMs with our own private data?

We need a comprehensive toolkit to help perform this data augmentation for LLMs.

Proposed Solution

That's where LlamaIndex comes in. LlamaIndex is a "data framework" to help you build LLM apps. It provides the following tools:

  • Offers data connectors to ingest your existing data sources and data formats (APIs, PDFs, docs, SQL, etc.)
  • Provides ways to structure your data (indices, graphs) so that this data can be easily used with LLMs.
  • Provides an advanced retrieval/query interface over your data: Feed in any LLM input prompt, get back retrieved context and knowledge-augmented output.
  • Allows easy integrations with your outer application framework (e.g. with LangChain, Flask, Docker, ChatGPT, anything else).

LlamaIndex provides tools for both beginner users and advanced users. Our high-level API allows beginner users to use LlamaIndex to ingest and query their data in 5 lines of code. Our lower-level APIs allow advanced users to customize and extend any module (data connectors, indices, retrievers, query engines, reranking modules), to fit their needs.

💻 Example Usage

pip install llama-index

Examples are in the examples folder. Indices are in the indices folder (see list of indices below).

To build a simple vector store index:

import os
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = 'YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY'

from llama_index import GPTVectorStoreIndex, SimpleDirectoryReader
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader('data').load_data()
index = GPTVectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)

To query:

query_engine = index.as_query_engine()
query_engine.query("<question_text>?")

By default, data is stored in-memory. To persist to disk (under ./storage):

index.storage_context.persist()

To reload from disk:

from llama_index import StorageContext, load_index_from_storage

# rebuild storage context
storage_context = StorageContext.from_defaults(persist_dir='./storage')
# load index
index = load_index_from_storage(storage_context)

🔧 Dependencies

The main third-party package requirements are tiktoken, openai, and langchain.

All requirements should be contained within the setup.py file. To run the package locally without building the wheel, simply run pip install -r requirements.txt.
