Summary of L-9 Build a Q&A App with RAG, LangChain, and Open-Source LLMs | Step-by-Step Guide

In this video, Arohi provides a step-by-step guide to building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) application using LangChain and open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) from Hugging Face. The tutorial focuses on downloading and running everything locally without needing API keys, which contrasts with previous tutorials that required keys for models like Google's Gemini and OpenAI's GPT-3.5.

Key Concepts and Features:

• LangChain Framework: An open-source framework used to build LLM applications.
• Local LLMs: The video demonstrates how to download LLMs from Hugging Face and run them locally.
• Data Handling:
  • The tutorial involves loading data from multiple URLs related to the budget 2024.
  • Data is split into smaller chunks using a recursive character text splitter for efficient querying.
• Embeddings: The video explains how to convert text data into numerical representations using Hugging Face embeddings, which are also downloaded locally.
• Vector Database: Chroma is used as a vector database to store the numerical representations of the documents.
• Retriever: A retriever is set up to fetch documents that match user queries based on similarity.
• LLM Integration: The Falcon 7B model is used for text generation, with a prompt template that defines how the system and user interact.
• Testing the Application: The application is tested with user queries, and the responses are generated based on the retrieved documents.

Reviews, Guides, and Tutorials:

• Arohi references previous videos for more detailed explanations on concepts like RAG, embedding models, and the specific LLMs used.
• The code and resources used in the tutorial are available in the video description for viewers to try on their own.

Main Speakers/Sources:

• Arohi, the presenter of the tutorial, who guides viewers through the coding process and explains the underlying concepts of the application being built.
