🚀 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.
A big limitation of LLMs is context size (e.g. Davinci's limit is 4096 tokens. Large, but not infinite).
The ability to feed "knowledge" to LLMs is restricted to this limited prompt size and model weights.

Proposed Solution

At its core, GPT Index contains a toolkit of index data structures designed to easily connect LLM's with your external data. GPT Index helps to provide the following advantages:

Remove concerns over prompt size limitations.
Abstract common usage patterns to reduce boilerplate code in your LLM app.
Provide data connectors to your common data sources (Google Docs, Slack, etc.).
Provide cost transparency + tools that reduce cost while increasing performance.

Each data structure offers distinct use cases and a variety of customizable parameters. These indices can then be queried in a general purpose manner, in order to achieve any task that you would typically achieve with an LLM:

Question-Answering
Summarization
Text Generation (Stories, TODO's, emails, etc.)
and more!

💻 Example Usage

pip install gpt-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:

from gpt_index import GPTSimpleVectorIndex, SimpleDirectoryReader
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader('data').load_data()
index = GPTSimpleVectorIndex(documents)

To save to and load from disk:

# save to disk
index.save_to_disk('index.json')
# load from disk
index = GPTSimpleVectorIndex.load_from_disk('index.json')

To query:

index.query("<question_text>?", child_branch_factor=1)

🔧 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.
