khoj VS private-gpt

There are already several RAG chat open source solutions available. Two that immediately come to mind are:

Danswer

Khoj

https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj

I'm a fan of Khoj. Been using it for months. https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj

This is the easiest I found, on here too.

Thanks for the feedback. Does your machine have a GPU? 32GB CPU RAM should be enough but GPU speeds up response time.

We have fixes for the seg fault[1] and improvement to the query speed[2] that should be released by end of day today[3].

Update khoj to version 0.10.1 with pip install --upgrade khoj-assistant to see if that improves your experience.

The number of documents/pages/entries doesn't scale memory utilization as quickly and doesn't affect the search, chat response time as much

[1]: The seg fault would occur when folks sent multiple chat queries at the same time. A lock and some UX improvements fixed that

[2]: The query time improvements are done by increasing batch size, to trade-off increased memory utilization for more speed

[3]: The relevant pull request for reference: https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/pull/393

We recently integrated Llama 2 into Khoj. I wanted to share a short real-world evaluation of using Llama 2 for the chat with docs use-cases and hear which models have worked best for you all. The standard benchmarks (ARC, HellaSwag, MMLU etc.) are not tuned for evaluating this

Self-host your Notion assistant using the instructions here. You'll need Python >= 3.8 to get started.

Here's an early example: https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj

PrivateGPT is a nice tool for this. It's not exactly what you're asking for, but it gets part of the way there.

Further details available at: https://docs.privategpt.dev/api-reference/api-reference/ingestion

Run https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT

Then

make ingest /path/to/folder/with/files

Then chat to the LLM.

Done.

PrivateGPT repository in case anyone's interested: https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT . It doesn't seem to be linked from their official website.

I’m preparing a small internal tool for my work to search documents and provide answers (with references), I’m thinking of using GPT4All [0], Danswer [1] and/or privateGPT [2].

The RAG technique is very close to what I have in mind, but I don’t want the LLM to “hallucinate” and generate answers on its own by synthesizing the source documents. As stated by many others, we’re living in interesting times.

I've been playing around with https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT and https://github.com/simonw/llm and wanted to create a simple Python package that made it easier to run ChatGPT-like LLMs on your own machine, use them with non-public data, and integrate them into practical applications.

This resulted in Python package I call OnPrem.LLM.

In the documentation, there are examples for how to use it for information extraction, text generation, retrieval-augmented generation (i.e., chatting with documents on your computer), and text-to-code generation: https://amaiya.github.io/onprem/

Enjoy!
