Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it seems you're encountering an issue with using the Azure OpenAI model in LlamaIndex, specifically with the .complete method. Let's address this problem:

The issue you're experiencing might be related to how you've set up your Azure OpenAI configuration. When using Azure OpenAI with LlamaIndex, you need to ensure that you've properly configured all the necessary parameters, including the API key.

Here's how you can set up and use Azure OpenAI with LlamaIndex:

  1. First, make sure you've installed the necessary package:
Plain Text
pip install llama-index-llms-azure-openai


  1. Then, you need to set up your Azure OpenAI client. Here's an example of how to do it:
Plain Text
from llama_index.llms.azure_openai import AzureOpenAI

llm = AzureOpenAI(
    engine="your-deployment-name",
    model="gpt-35-turbo-16k",  # or your specific model
    temperature=0.0,
    azure_endpoint="<https://your-resource-name.openai.azure.com/",>
    api_key="your-api-key",
    api_version="2023-07-01-preview",
)


Make sure to replace the placeholders with your actual Azure OpenAI deployment details.

  1. If you prefer to use environment variables instead of passing the API key directly, you can set them up like this:
Plain Text
import os

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"
os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"] = "<https://your-resource-name.openai.azure.com/">
os.environ["OPENAI_API_VERSION"] = "2023-07-01-preview"


After setting up your client correctly, both the .chat and .complete methods should work without asking for an API key.

If you're still encountering issues, double-check that:
  • Your API key is correct and has the necessary permissions.
  • The endpoint URL is correct.
  • The engine name (deployment name) is correct.
  • The API version is up to date.
If the problem persists, you might want to check the LlamaIndex documentation or seek support from the Azure OpenAI service.

@kapa.ai what is the difference between the .chat and .complete methods?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can explain the difference between the .chat and .complete methods in the context of LlamaIndex and Azure OpenAI integration:

  1. .complete method:
    • This method is used for text completion tasks.
    • It takes a single string prompt as input.
    • It's typically used with traditional language models that generate text based on a given prompt.
  1. .chat method:
    • This method is designed for conversational tasks.
    • It takes a sequence of ChatMessage objects as input, which can include different roles (system, user, assistant).
    • It's used with chat-based models that can maintain context across multiple messages.
Here are some key differences and points to note:

  1. Input format:
    • .complete takes a single string prompt.
    • .chat takes a list of ChatMessage objects, allowing for more structured conversations.
  1. Use case:
    • .complete is better for single-turn interactions or text generation tasks.
    • .chat is more suitable for multi-turn conversations or when you need to provide system instructions and maintain context.
  1. Model compatibility:
    • Some models are specifically designed for chat interactions, while others are for text completion.
    • However, LlamaIndex provides compatibility layers. For example, the .complete method is still available for models of type chat-completions. In these cases, your input text is converted to a message with role="user".
  1. Output:
    • .complete typically returns a CompletionResponse object.
    • .chat returns a ChatResponse object.
Here's an example of using both methods with Azure OpenAI:

```python

Using .complete

response = llm.complete("The sky is a beautiful blue and")
print(response)

Using .chat

from llama_index.core.llms import ChatMessage
messages = [
ChatMessage(role="system", content="You are a pirate with colorful personality."),
ChatMessage(role="user", content="Hello"),
]
response = llm.chat(messages)
print(response)
`` It's worth noting that both methods also have streaming variants: stream_complete and stream_chat`, which allow for incremental generation of responses.

Remember that the exact behavior might vary slightly depending on the specific LLM implementation and version you're using.

@kapa.ai the .chat works fine and does not have an issue with the api key, but whenever i try to use .complete it keeps asking for the API key
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the information you've provided and the knowledge sources available, it seems you're experiencing an unusual issue where the .chat method works fine, but the .complete method is asking for an API key. This behavior is not typical, as both methods should use the same authentication mechanism. However, I can offer some insights and potential solutions:

  1. API Key Configuration:
    Make sure you've properly set up your API key. You can do this in two ways:
a. Environment variable:
Plain Text
   import os
   os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"
   


b. Directly in the constructor:
Plain Text
   from llama_index.llms.azure_openai import AzureOpenAI

   llm = AzureOpenAI(
       engine="your-deployment-name",
       model="your-model-name",
       api_key="your-api-key",
       azure_endpoint="<https://your-resource-name.openai.azure.com/">
   )
   


  1. Model Configuration:
    Ensure that you're using the correct model name and engine (deployment name) for both chat and completion tasks. Some models might be configured differently for chat and completion.
  1. Completion to Chat Conversion:
    As mentioned in the LlamaIndex Azure OpenAI Documentation, the .complete method is still available for models of type chat-completions. In these cases, your input text is converted to a message with role="user". This conversion might be causing issues if not handled correctly.
  1. Check for Overrides:
    Make sure you haven't accidentally overridden the .complete method or its authentication mechanism in your code.
  1. Version Compatibility:
    Ensure that you're using compatible versions of LlamaIndex and the Azure OpenAI SDK.
To troubleshoot this issue, you could try the following:
  1. Explicitly pass the API key in the .complete method call:
    Plain Text
    response = llm.complete("Your prompt here", api_key="your-api-key")
  1. Use the chat method with a single message to mimic completion:
    Plain Text
    from llama_index.core.llms import ChatMessage
    
    response = llm.chat([ChatMessage(role="user", content="Your prompt here")])
  1. Check if the issue persists with a different Azure OpenAI model or deployment.
If the problem continues after trying these solutions, it might be a bug in the LlamaIndex implementation. In that case, you should consider reporting the issue to the LlamaIndex GitHub repository with a minimal reproducible example.

Remember to never share your actual API key when seeking help or reporting issues.

@kapa.ai i am having an issue when I use the code:

Plain Text
 agent = ReActAgent.from_tools(
            await ctx.get("tools"), llm=llm_4o_2, verbose=True
        )
        response = agent.chat(ev.question)


i get in a situation where the ReActAgent starts to have too large of context window and I get an error:
WorkflowRuntimeError: Error in step 'sub_question': Error code: 400 - {'error': {'message': "This model's maximum context length is 128000 tokens. However, your messages resulted in 129626 tokens. Please reduce the length of the messages.", 'type': 'invalid_request_error', 'param': 'messages', 'code': 'context_length_exceeded'}}

what is the best way to manage this
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources and your specific question, I can offer some insights and potential solutions to manage the context window issue you're experiencing with the ReActAgent.

The error you're encountering is due to the context length exceeding the maximum limit of the model you're using (128000 tokens in this case). This can happen when the ReActAgent accumulates too much information during its reasoning process. Here are some strategies to manage this issue:

  1. Limit the context window:
    You can artificially limit the context window to prevent it from growing too large. This approach is mentioned in several examples in the LlamaIndex documentation. For instance:
Plain Text
   from llama_index.core import Settings
   Settings.context_window = 3900  # or any other suitable value
   


LlamaIndex Examples

  1. Use a retriever with limited top-k:
    When setting up your query engine or agent, you can limit the number of retrieved documents:
Plain Text
   query_engine = index.as_query_engine(similarity_top_k=2)
   


This helps to reduce the amount of context being processed.

  1. Implement a chunking strategy:
    If you're dealing with large documents, you might want to implement a chunking strategy that breaks down the content into smaller, manageable pieces. The TopicNodeParser in LlamaIndex can help with this:
Plain Text
   from llama_index.node_parser.topic import TopicNodeParser
   
   parser = TopicNodeParser(chunk_size=1000)  # Adjust chunk_size as needed
   


TopicNodeParser Documentation
  1. Use a model with a larger context window:
    If possible, consider using a model with a larger context window. However, this should be a last resort if the other strategies don't suffice.
  1. Implement a conversation memory management strategy:
    You might need to implement a strategy to summarize or prune the conversation history periodically to prevent it from growing too large.
  1. Adjust the ReActAgent configuration:
    You may need to adjust the configuration of the ReActAgent to limit the number of reasoning steps or the amount of information it accumulates during its process.
Here's a sample code snippet incorporating some of these strategies:

Plain Text
from llama_index.core import Settings
from llama_index.core.agent import ReActAgent

# Limit the context window
Settings.context_window = 100000  # Adjust as needed

# Create the agent with limited tools and adjusted configuration
agent = ReActAgent.from_tools(
    await ctx.get("tools"),
    llm=llm_4o_2,
    verbose=True,
    max_reasoning_steps=5,  # Adjust as needed
    context_window=100000  # Explicitly set context window for the agent
)

# Use the agent with potentially chunked or limited input
response = agent.chat(ev.question)


Remember to adjust these settings based on your specific use case and the nature of the data you're working with. You may need to experiment with different values to find the right balance between context size and performance.

If you continue to face issues after implementing these strategies, you might need to reconsider your overall approach or seek more specialized assistance from the LlamaIndex community or support channels.

@kapa.ai i am using a list of retreiver tools, but how do I tell if the reranker in node postprocessor is working is there an attribute to check?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To answer your question about checking if the reranker in the node postprocessor is working when using a list of retriever tools, I'll provide some insights based on the available knowledge sources.

When using a reranker as a node postprocessor in LlamaIndex, there isn't a direct attribute to check if it's working. However, you can indirectly verify its operation by examining the retrieved nodes and their scores before and after applying the reranker. Here are a few approaches you can take:

  1. Check the scores of retrieved nodes:
    Rerankers typically modify the scores of the retrieved nodes. You can compare the scores before and after applying the reranker to see if they've changed.
Plain Text
   # Assuming you have a retriever and a reranker set up
   retrieved_nodes = retriever.retrieve(query)
   
   print("Before reranking:")
   for node in retrieved_nodes:
       print(f"Node ID: {node.node.node_id}, Score: {node.score}")
   
   reranked_nodes = reranker.postprocess_nodes(retrieved_nodes, query)
   
   print("\nAfter reranking:")
   for node in reranked_nodes:
       print(f"Node ID: {node.node.node_id}, Score: {node.score}")
   


  1. Compare the order of retrieved nodes:
    Rerankers often change the order of the retrieved nodes based on their relevance. You can check if the order has changed after applying the reranker.
  1. Use verbose mode:
    Some rerankers, like the JinaRerank, have a verbose mode that can provide additional information about the reranking process. For example:
Plain Text
   from llama_index.postprocessor.jinaai_rerank import JinaRerank
   
   jina_rerank = JinaRerank(api_key=api_key, top_n=2, verbose=True)
   


When verbose mode is enabled, you might see additional output during the reranking process.
  1. Check the number of retrieved nodes:
    Some rerankers, like the one in this example from the LlamaIndex documentation, limit the number of returned nodes. You can check if the number of nodes has changed after reranking:
Plain Text
   query_engine = index.as_query_engine(
       similarity_top_k=10, node_postprocessors=[jina_rerank]
   )
   response = query_engine.query("Your query here")
   
   print(f"Number of retrieved nodes after reranking: {len(response.source_nodes)}")
   


  1. Examine the content of retrieved nodes:
    After reranking, the most relevant nodes should be at the top. You can print out the content of the top nodes to see if they seem more relevant to your query.
Plain Text
   for i, node in enumerate(response.source_nodes[:2]):  # Check top 2 nodes
       print(f"Node {i+1}:")
       print(f"Text: {node.text}")
       print(f"Score: {node.score}")
       print("\n")
   


Remember that the effectiveness of the reranker can vary depending on the specific reranker you're using, the nature of your data, and the queries you're making. You might need to experiment with different rerankers or adjust their parameters to achieve the best results for your use case.
