🏠 Local LLMs: 100% Private, 100% Free

Perfect for:

• 🏢 Enterprises with sensitive data (financial, medical, legal)
• 🔬 Researchers processing confidential papers
• 💰 Cost-conscious users who want zero API fees
• 🌍 Offline environments without internet access

Option 1: Ollama (Recommended - Easiest)

# 1. Install Ollama
brew install ollama  # or visit https://ollama.ai

# 2. Pull a model
ollama pull llama3.1        # 4.7 GB, great quality
# or
ollama pull qwen2.5:7b      # 4.7 GB, excellent for QA
# or
ollama pull llama3.1:70b    # 40 GB, best quality

# 3. Start Ollama
ollama serve

# 4. Use RAGScore (auto-detects Ollama!)
ragscore generate paper.pdf

That's it! No API keys, no configuration, 100% private.

Option 2: vLLM (For Production)

# 1. Install vLLM
pip install vllm

# 2. Start server with your model
vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 8000

# 3. Point RAGScore to it
export LLM_BASE_URL="http://localhost:8000/v1"
ragscore generate paper.pdf

Option 3: LM Studio (GUI)

1. Download LM Studio
2. Load a model (llama-3.1, qwen-2.5, etc.)
3. Start local server
4. Use with RAGScore (auto-detected!)

🧪 Python API

from ragscore import run_pipeline, generate_qa_for_chunk
from ragscore.providers import get_provider

# Simple usage
run_pipeline(paths=["paper.pdf", "report.txt"])

# Use local Ollama
provider = get_provider("ollama", model="llama3.1")
qas = generate_qa_for_chunk(
    chunk_text="Your text here...",
    difficulty="hard",
    n=5,
    provider=provider
)

# Use local vLLM
provider = get_provider(
    "openai",  # vLLM is OpenAI-compatible
    base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1",
    api_key="not-needed"
)
qas = generate_qa_for_chunk(
    chunk_text="Your text here...",
    difficulty="medium",
    n=3,
    provider=provider
)
