ChatGPT for ______

For example, the "Chat your data" use case:

1. Add documents to your database. You can pass in your own embeddings, embedding function, or let Chroma embed them for you.
2. Query relevant documents with natural language.
3. Compose documents into the context window of an LLM like GTP3 for additional summarization or analysis.

Features

• Simple: Fully typed, fully tested, fully documented == happiness
• Integrations: 🦜️🔗 Langchain and 🦙 gpt-index
• Dev, Test, Prod: the same API runs in your python notebook and up to a cluster
• Feature-rich: Queries, filtering, density estimation and more
• Fast: 50-100x faster than other popular solutions
• Free: Apache 2.0 Licensed

Get up and running

pip install chromadb

import chromadb
client = chromadb.Client()
collection = client.create_collection("all-my-documents")
collection.add(
    embeddings=[[1.5, 2.9, 3.4], [9.8, 2.3, 2.9]],
    metadatas=[{"source": "notion"}, {"source": "google-docs"}],
    ids=["n/102", "gd/972"],
)
results = collection.query(
    query_texts=["How do I do ..."],
    n_results=3
)

Embeddings?

What are embeddings?

• Read the guide from OpenAI
• Literal: Embedding something turns it from image/text/audio into a list of numbers. 🖼️/📄 => [1.2, 2.1, ....]. This process makes documents "understandable" to a machine learning model.
• By analogy: An embedding represents the essence of a document. This enables documents and queries with the same essence to be "near" each other and therefore easy to find.
• Technical: An embedding is the latent-space position of a document at a layer of a deep neural network. For models trained specifically to embed data, this is the last layer.
• A small example: If you search your photos for "famous bridge in San Francisco". Through embedding the photo and it's metadata - it should return photos of the Golden Gate Bridge.
