Energy Language Model

The Energy Language Model (ELM) software provides interfaces to apply Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and GPT-4 to energy research. For example, you might be interested in:

• Converting PDFs into a text database

• Chunking text documents and embedding into a vector database

• Performing recursive document summarization

• Building an automated data extraction workflow using decision trees

• Building a chatbot app that interfaces with reports from OSTI

Installing ELM

NOTE: If you are installing ELM to run ordinance scraping and extraction, see the ordinance-specific installation instructions.

Option #1 (basic usage):

1. pip install NLR-elm

Option #2 (developer install):

1. from home dir, git clone [e-mail]:NatLabRockies/elm.git

2. Create elm environment and install package

   1. Create a conda env: conda create -n elm

   2. Run the command: conda activate elm

   3. cd into the repo cloned in 1.

   4. Prior to running pip below, make sure the branch is correct (install from main!)

   5. Install elm and its dependencies by running: pip install . (or pip install -e . if running a dev branch or working on the source code)
