if I install llamaindex, can I train it

At a glance

The community member asks if they can train LlamaIndex with their own data, or if it can only access a portion of the data, similar to how GPTs models are trained on the provided data. The comments explain that LlamaIndex is a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) library, which means that at query time, it will pull data and insert it into the language model prompt. The community members recommend reviewing the LlamaIndex documentation, particularly the introductory concepts and understanding sections, to learn more about how to customize the experience.

if I install llamaindex, can I train it with my data or it will just be able to call part of the data? For example in GPTs the model kind of trains on the data provided, specially if you chat with it.

GPTs is not "training"

It's just configuring system prompts and using RAG with your data
But yea, LlamaIndex is a RAG library -- so you insert data, and at query time, it will pull data and insert that into the LLM prompt

You can also use agents and other advanced techniques to customize the experience
I highly recommend going through part of our docs, especially this intro piece

https://docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable/getting_started/concepts.html

And then our understanding section is a good next step
