Ha! It seems kapa.ai is really helpfull. The problem seems to come from the fact that Settings.context_window is initially set to 4096 (maybe because of gpt3.5). After manually setting it the issue is gone. Thanks @kapa.ai ! πŸ™‚

I'm glad to hear that you've resolved the issue! Indeed, the context_window setting is crucial when working with LLMs in LlamaIndex. As you've noticed, it's often set to 4096, which is a common setting for models like GPT-3.5. However, it's important to adjust this setting based on the specific requirements of your application and the capabilities of the LLM you're using.

Here's the code snippet from the extracts that shows how to set the context_window:

Plain Text
from llama_index import (
    KeywordTableIndex,
    SimpleDirectoryReader,
    ServiceContext,
)
from llama_index.llms import OpenAI

documents = SimpleDirectoryReader("data").load_data()

# set context window
context_window = 4096
# set number of output tokens
num_output = 256

# define LLM
llm = OpenAI(
    temperature=0,
    model="text-davinci-002",
    max_tokens=num_output,
)

service_context = ServiceContext.from_defaults(
    llm=llm,
    context_window=context_window,
    num_output=num_output,
)

In this example, context_window is set to 4096, but you can adjust this value as needed for your specific use case.

@kapa.ai , if I want to build an indexer for a ReadTheDoc website, what is the best approach? What is the best Indexer, Retriever, LLM model to use?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the extracts, here's a general approach to building an indexer for a ReadTheDocs website using LlamaIndex:

  1. Loading: You need to load your data from the ReadTheDocs website. This could involve scraping the website or using an API if one is available. LlamaIndex has hundreds of connectors to various data sources, but the specific method for loading data from a ReadTheDocs website isn't specified in the extracts.
  1. Indexing: Once you've loaded your data, you can create an Index over your data objects (e.g., Document objects) to enable querying. LlamaIndex offers several different index types. A common one mentioned in the extracts is VectorStoreIndex.
  1. Using LLMs: LLMs are used at every step of the way, from indexing and storing to querying and parsing your data. The specific LLM model to use would depend on your specific requirements. The extracts mention using OpenAI's GPT-3.5 model, but other models could potentially be used as well.
  1. Retrieving: You would then define a retriever to retrieve data based on your index. The extracts mention using the VectorIndexAutoRetriever class to create a retriever on top of a summarized metadata index.
Here's a code snippet from the extracts that shows how to load documents, create an index, and define a retriever:

Plain Text
from llama_index import (
    VectorStoreIndex,
    SimpleDirectoryReader,
    load_index_from_storage,
    StorageContext,
)

# load documents
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader(
    input_files=["paul_graham_essay.txt"]
).load_data()

# create index
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)

# define retriever
retriever = index.as_retriever(similarity_top_k=2)
Please note that this is a general approach and the specific methods and classes to use would depend on your specific requirements and the structure of the ReadTheDocs website. For more detailed information, you can refer to the LlamaIndex documentation ().

@kapa.ai, using a vector store database like chroma can yield better result than using the default store that llama index uses (local json files)?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, using a vector store database like Chroma can potentially yield better results compared to using the default store (local JSON files) in LlamaIndex. Here's why:

  1. Efficiency: Vector databases are designed to handle large-scale, high-dimensional data efficiently. They use indexing techniques that allow for faster search and retrieval of data compared to traditional databases or file-based storage.
  1. Scalability: Vector databases can handle larger datasets. If your data grows beyond what can be efficiently managed with local JSON files, a vector database like Chroma can scale to accommodate this growth.
  1. Query Flexibility: Vector databases allow for more complex and flexible queries. For example, Chroma allows for semantic queries and metadata filtering.
Here's an example of how to use Chroma as a vector store in LlamaIndex:

Plain Text
import chromadb
from llama_index import VectorStoreIndex
from llama_index.vector_stores import ChromaVectorStore
from llama_index.storage.storage_context import StorageContext

# initialize client
db = chromadb.PersistentClient(path="./chroma_db")

# get collection
chroma_collection = db.get_or_create_collection("quickstart")

# assign chroma as the vector_store to the context
vector_store = ChromaVectorStore(chroma_collection=chroma_collection)
storage_context = StorageContext.from_defaults(vector_store=vector_store)

# load your index from stored vectors
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_vector_store(
    vector_store, storage_context=storage_context
)

Source ()
However, it's important to note that the choice between a vector database and local JSON files depends on your specific use case. If your dataset is small and your queries are simple, local JSON files might be sufficient. But for larger datasets and more complex queries, a vector database like Chroma could be a better choice.

@kapa.ai , if using OpenAI TEXT_EMBED_3_LARGE , gpt4-turbo and chromadb, what is the best chunk_size for embedding considering I have a big enought context window size?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The optimal chunk_size for embeddings can depend on several factors, including the nature of your data, the specific LLM model you're using, and the capabilities of your vector database. However, the extracts provided do not specify an optimal chunk_size for the combination of OpenAI's text-embedding-3-large, gpt-4-turbo, and ChromaDB.

In general, a smaller chunk_size can lead to more granular embeddings, which might be beneficial for certain types of queries. On the other hand, a larger chunk_size can capture more context in each embedding, which might be beneficial for other types of queries.

Here's an example of how to set the chunk_size when initializing a ServiceContext in LlamaIndex:

Plain Text
from llama_index import ServiceContext
from llama_index.llms import OpenAI

# define LLM
llm = OpenAI(model="gpt-4")

# initialize service context with specific chunk size
service_context = ServiceContext.from_defaults(llm=llm, chunk_size=400)

Source ()

In this example, chunk_size is set to 400, but you can adjust this value as needed for your specific use case.

For more detailed guidance on choosing an optimal chunk_size, you might want to refer to the LlamaIndex documentation () or conduct some experiments with your specific data and use case.

@kapa.ai , can I use SentenceTransformer with OpenAI? If not what is the best Transformer to use with "TEXT_EMBED_3_LARGE"?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the extracts, it's not explicitly mentioned whether you can use SentenceTransformer with OpenAI. However, LlamaIndex does provide support for OpenAI's text-embedding-3-large model through its OpenAIEmbedding class.

Here's an example of how to use text-embedding-3-large with LlamaIndex:

Plain Text
from llama_index.embeddings import OpenAIEmbedding

# create embeddings
embed_model = OpenAIEmbedding(model="text-embedding-3-large")

embeddings = embed_model.get_text_embedding(
    "Open AI new Embeddings models is great."
)

Source ()

This code snippet shows how to create text embeddings using the text-embedding-3-large model from OpenAI.

For more detailed information on using different transformers with LlamaIndex, you can refer to the LlamaIndex documentation ().

@kapa.ai show me an example with SentenceTransformer on VectorIndexStore
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the extracts, there isn't a specific example of using SentenceTransformer with VectorStoreIndex in LlamaIndex. However, you can use any transformer model that outputs embeddings to create a VectorStoreIndex.

Here's a general example of how you might use a transformer model to create a VectorStoreIndex:

Plain Text
from llama_index import VectorStoreIndex, SimpleDirectoryReader
from llama_index.vector_stores import YourVectorStore
from llama_index.storage.storage_context import StorageContext

# Load documents
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader("./data").load_data()

# Define your transformer model (e.g., SentenceTransformer)
# and use it to create embeddings for your documents

# Create a vector store
vector_store = YourVectorStore(your_embeddings)

# Create a storage context
storage_context = StorageContext.from_defaults(vector_store=vector_store)

# Create a VectorStoreIndex from your documents
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents, storage_context=storage_context)


In this example, YourVectorStore would be a vector store that uses your SentenceTransformer model to create embeddings. You would need to replace YourVectorStore and your_embeddings with the actual code that uses SentenceTransformer to create embeddings and a vector store.

@kapa.ai , can OpenAI embeddings be fine-tuned? How>
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, OpenAI embeddings can be fine-tuned. The process involves training the embedding model over an unstructured text corpus in a label-free way.

Here's a link to a guide provided in the extracts that can help you with the fine-tuning process: Embedding Fine-tuning Guide ()

Please note that the specific steps and code for fine-tuning OpenAI embeddings are not provided in the extracts. For detailed instructions and code examples, you should refer to the guide linked above.

@kapa.ai , I am using a VectorStoreIndex for my documents but when asking for a string that I know for sure is present it can't find it. How to do a full search in the datastore?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
If you're using a VectorStoreIndex and you're unable to find a specific string that you know is present, it could be due to the nature of vector-based search. Vector-based search is based on semantic similarity, not exact string matching. This means that it might not always return a document containing the exact string you're searching for, even if such a document exists in your datastore.

However, if you want to perform a full search in the datastore, you can iterate over all the documents in the datastore and check each one for the presence of the specific string. Here's a general example of how you might do this:

Plain Text
# Assume `documents` is a list of all your documents
for doc in documents:
    if 'your_string' in doc.text:
        print(f"Found in document {doc.id}")


Please note that this is a simple and potentially inefficient way to search for a specific string in a large datastore. If you frequently need to perform exact string matching, you might want to consider using a different type of index or datastore that supports this type of query more efficiently.

For more detailed information on how to use VectorStoreIndex and other types of indexes in LlamaIndex, you can refer to the LlamaIndex documentation ().

@kapa.ai , how to load all documents in the VectorStore?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To load all documents from a VectorStoreIndex, you can use the get_all_documents method. Here's a general example:

Plain Text
# Assume `index` is your VectorStoreIndex
documents = index.get_all_documents()


This will return a list of all documents in the VectorStoreIndex.

Please note that the specific method to load all documents from a VectorStoreIndex is not provided in the extracts. For more detailed information, you should refer to the LlamaIndex documentation ().
