Interface between LLMs and your data

🗂️ LlamaIndex 🦙

LlamaIndex (GPT Index) is a project that provides a central interface to connect your LLM's with external data.

🚀 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?
• One paradigm that has emerged is in-context learning (the other is finetuning), where we insert context into the input prompt. That way, we take advantage of the LLM's reasoning capabilities to generate a response.

To perform LLM's data augmentation in a performant, efficient, and cheap manner, we need to solve two components:

• Data Ingestion
• Data Indexing

Proposed Solution

That's where the LlamaIndex comes in. LlamaIndex is a simple, flexible interface between your external data and LLMs. It provides the following tools in an easy-to-use fashion:

• Offers data connectors to your existing data sources and data formats (API's, PDF's, docs, SQL, etc.)
• Provides indices over your unstructured and structured data for use with LLM's. These indices help to abstract away common boilerplate and pain points for in-context learning:
  • Storing context in an easy-to-access format for prompt insertion.
  • Dealing with prompt limitations (e.g. 4096 tokens for Davinci) when context is too big.
  • Dealing with text splitting.
• Provides users an interface to query the index (feed in an input prompt) and obtain a knowledge-augmented output.
• Offers you a comprehensive toolset trading off cost and performance.

💻 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 GPTSimpleVectorIndex, SimpleDirectoryReader
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader('data').load_data()
index = GPTSimpleVectorIndex.from_documents(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>?")

🔧 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.
