Why rag-titan?
- Many RAG types, one API. Two today (
simple,adaptive), with more on the way. Switch with one word:rag_type="adaptive". - Runs 100% locally with Ollama, so your documents never leave your machine.
- Grounded answers. The model answers only from your files and cites the chunks it used.
- Chunking your way. Eight chunkers: by words, characters or model tokens (tiktoken or your own tokenizer), recursive separators, and structure-aware chunkers that keep sentences, paragraphs, heading sections or pages whole.
- PDF, Word, Markdown and text files, with paragraphs, headings and pages kept for the chunkers.
- Easy to read, easy to change. Short files, plain Python, and a docstring on every class. Swap any part by inheriting one base class.
Install
pip install rag-titan
ollama pull gemma3:4b && ollama pull nomic-embed-text
For token-based chunking, add the extra: pip install "rag-titan[tokens]".
Needs Python 3.10+ and Ollama. → Full setup guide
Quick start
from rag_titan import RAGTitan
rag = RAGTitan(rag_type="simple") # or "adaptive"
rag.index(["handbook.pdf", "policy.docx"])
print(rag.ask("How many leave days do I get?"))
# You get 20 paid leave days every year [chunk_0].
Or from the terminal:
rag-titan ask --files handbook.pdf --question "How many leave days do I get?"
Supported RAG types
rag-titan 0.1 supports 2 RAG types. Pick one with rag_type:
| Status | RAG type | How it works | Best for | LLM calls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ✅ Available | Simple RAGrag_type="simple" |
Retrieve → Rerank → Generate | Fast answers to clear questions | 1 |
| ✅ Available | Adaptive RAGrag_type="adaptive" |
Route → Retrieve → Check evidence → Rewrite & retry | Mixed questions, fewer wrong answers | 2–5 |
from rag_titan import RAG_TYPES
print(RAG_TYPES) # ['simple', 'adaptive']
Coming next (not available yet): Corrective RAG · Multi-query RAG · HyDE · Hybrid RAG · Self-RAG · Parent-document RAG · Graph RAG · Agentic RAG. → Roadmap
Also included: a tool-calling agent loop. It's a separate feature, not a
rag_type.
