rag-multi-modal
This template performs RAG on documents with images.
It is configured to ingest a pdf file that contains images:
- It uses uses Unstructured for pdf parsing.
- It uses Chroma for stroage.
The file is supplied in docs/ and set in chain.py:
fpath = "../docs/"
fname = "cj.pdf"
By defaut it runs on a .pdf of this blog post
Environment Setup
Set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable to access the OpenAI models.
Unstructured requires some system-level package installations:
You will also need these in your system:
poppler(installation instructions)tesseract(installation instructions)
On Mac, you can install the necessary packages with the following:
brew install tesseract poppler
Usage
To use this package, you should first have the LangChain CLI installed:
pip install -U langchain-cli
To create a new LangChain project and install this as the only package, you can do:
langchain app new my-app --package rag-multi-modal
If you want to add this to an existing project, you can just run:
langchain app add rag-multi-modal
And add the following code to your server.py file:
from rag_semi_structured import chain as rag_semi_structured_chain
add_routes(app, rag_semi_structured_chain, path="/rag-multi-modal")
(Optional) Let's now configure LangSmith. LangSmith will help us trace, monitor and debug LangChain applications. LangSmith is currently in private beta, you can sign up here. If you don't have access, you can skip this section
export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
export LANGCHAIN_PROJECT=<your-project> # if not specified, defaults to "default"
If you are inside this directory, then you can spin up a LangServe instance directly by:
langchain serve
This will start the FastAPI app with a server is running locally at http://localhost:8000
We can see all templates at http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs We can access the playground at http://127.0.0.1:8000/rag-multi-modal/playground
We can access the template from code with:
from langserve.client import RemoteRunnable
runnable = RemoteRunnable("http://localhost:8000/rag-multi-modal")
