[@frankdenweed6456]

Are you a crypto bro?

[@_lull_]

You deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. Thank you so much for creating Anything LLM.

[@kylequinn1963]

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Now, I'm not sure if this is already implemented, but if the chat bot can use EVERYTHING from all previous chats within the workspace for context and reference... My god that will change everything for me.

[@TimCarambat]

It does use the history for context and reference! History, system prompt, and context - all at the same time and we manage the context window for you on the backend

[@IrakliKavtaradzepsyche]

@@TimCarambatbut isn’t history actually constrained by active model’s context size?

[@TimCarambat]

@@IrakliKavtaradzepsyche yes, but we manage the overflow automatically so you at least don't crash from token overflow. This is common for LLMs, to truncate or manipulate the history for long running sessions

[@avepetro8380]

So this strictly for LLM's? Is this like an AI assistant?

I’d love to hear more about your product roadmap - specifically with how it relates to the RAG system you have implemented . I’ve been experimenting a lot with Flowise and the new LlamaIndex integration is fantastic - especially the various text summarisation and content refinement methods available with a LlamaIndex based RAG. Are you planning to enhance the RAG implementation in AnythingLLM?

[@JohnRiley-r7j]

Great stuff,this way you can run a good smaller conversational model like 13b or even 7b,like Laser Mistral. Main problem with this smaller LLM are massive holes in some topics,or informations about events,celebs or other stuff,this way you can make your own database about stuff you wanna chat. Amazing.

[@continuouslearner]

So if in case we need to programmatically use this, does anythingllm itself offer a ‘run locally on server’ option to get an API endpoint that we could call from a local website for example? i.e. local website -> post request -> anythingllm (local server + PDFs)-> LMstudio (local server - foundation model)

[@PswACC]

The biggest challenge I am having is getting the prompt to provide accurate information that is included in the source material. The interpretation is just wrong. I have pinned the source material and I have also played with the LLM Temperature to no avail of an accurate chat response that aligns with the source material. Also tried setting chat mode to Query but it typically doesn't produce a response. Another thing that is bothering me is how I can't delete the default thread that is under the workspace as the first thread.

Wow, great information. I have a huge amount of documents and everytime I search for something it's getting such a difficult task to fulfill

[@catwolf256]

To operate a model comparable to GPT-4 on a personal computer, you would currently need around 60GB of VRAM. This would roughly necessitate three 24GB graphics cards, each costing between $1,500 and $2,000. Therefore, equipping a PC to run a similar model would cost more than 25 years' worth of a ChatGPT subscription at $20 per month or $240 per year. Although there are smaller LLM (Large Language Models) available, such as 8B or 13B models requiring only 4-16GB of VRAM, they don't compare favorably even with the freely available GPT-3.5. Furthermore, with OpenAI planning to release GPT-5 later this year, the hardware requirements to match its capabilities on a personal computer are expected to be even more demanding.

[@TimCarambat]

Absolutely. Closed source and cloud based models will always have a performance edge. The kicker is are you comfortable with their limitations on what you can do with them, paying for additional plugins, and the exposure of your uploaded documents and chats to a third party. Or get 80-90% of the same experience with whatever the latest and greatest oss model is running on your CPU/GPU with none of that concern. Its just two different use cases, both should exist

[@catwolf256]

@@TimCarambat While using versions 2.6 to 2.9 of Llama (dolphin), I've noticed significant differences between it and ChatGPT-4. Llama performs well in certain areas, but ChatGPT generally provides more detailed responses. There are exceptions where Llama may have fewer restrictions due to being less bound by major company policies, which can be a factor when dealing with sensitive content like explosives or explicit materials. however, while ChatGPT has usage limits and avoids topics like politics and explicit content, some providers offer unrestricted access through paid services. and realistically, most users-over 95%-might try these services briefly before discontinuing their use.

Get a pcei nvme ssd. I have 500gb of “swap” that I labeled as ram3. Ran a 70b like butter with the gpu at 1% only running display. Also you can use a 15$ riser and add graphics cards. You should have like 256gb on the gpu, but you can also vramswap, but that isn’t necessary bc you shouldn’t rip anywhere near 100gb at once. Split up your processes. Instead of just cpu and ram use the cpu to send commands to anything with a chip, and attach a storage device immediately to it. The pc has 2 x 8gb ram naturally. You can even use an hdd it is just a noticeable drag of under 1 gb/s. There are many more ways to do it, once I finish the seamless container pass I will have an otb software solution for you. -- swap rate and swapiness will help if you have solid storage.

[@catwolf256]

@@Naw1dawg yes, you can modify or add addition to your pc to run LLM on your pc, but still it's not worth to do it. because, most of people who playing around LLM, they would use it only short period of time. a month or so max, what i am saying is paying over $ 5,000 build for the LLM is not worth, compare to paying $20 per month enjoying fun.

[@MrAmirhk]

Can't wait to try this. I've watched a dozen other tutorials that were too complicated for someone like me without basic coding skills. What are the pros/cons of setting this up with LMStudio vs. Ollama?

[@TimCarambat]

If you don't like to code, you will find the UI of lmstudio much more approachable, but it can be an information overload. Lmstudio has every model on huggingface. Ollama is only accessible via terminal and has limited model support but is dead simple. This video was made before we launched the desktop app. Our desktop comes with ollama pre-installed and gives you a UI to pick a model and start chatting with docs privately. That might be a better option since that is one app, no setup, no cli or extra application

[@Mursaat100]

Thanks for the video! I did it as you said and got the model working (same as you picked). It ran faster than i expected and I was impressed with the quality of the text and the general understanding of the model. However when i uploaded some documents [in total just 150 kb of downloaded HTML from a wiki] it gave very wrong answers [overwhelmingly incorrect]. What can i do to improve this?

[@TimCarambat]

two things help by far the most! 1. Changing the "Similarity Threshold" in the workspace settings to be "No Restriction". This basically allows the vector database to return all remotely similar results and no filtering is applied. This is based purely on the vector database distance of your query and the "score" filtered on, depending on documents, query, embedder, and more variables - a relevant text snippet can be marked as "irrelevant". Changing this setting usually fixes this with no performance decrease. 2. Document pinning (thumbtack icon in UI once doc is embedded). This does a full-text insertion of the document into the prompt. The context window is managed in case it overflows the model, however this can slow your response time by a good factor, however coherence will be extremely high.

[@Mursaat100]

Thank you! But i dont understand what you mean with "Thumbtack icon in UI once doc is embedded". Could you please clarify?@@TimCarambat

Those models are curated by thr lmstudio team. Imo they are based on popularity. However, if you aren't sure what model to chose, go for Llama2 or Mistral, can't go wrong with those models as they are all around capable

[@TheDroppersBeats]

@Tim, this episode is brilliant! Let me ask you one thing. Do you have any ways to force this LLM model to return the response in a specific form, e.g. JSON with specific keys?

[@rosenvladev9654]

How can I use .py files. It appears they arent supported

I run this on a Intel Mac daily. It works, albeit slowly. I have a Intel Windows with NVIDIA 3090 that allows me to offload to GPU, much faster then.

Thanks, Tim, for the good video. Unfortunately I do not get good results for uploaded content. I'm from Germany, so could it be a language problem, cause the uploaded content is german text? I'm using the same mistral model from your video and added 2 web pages to anythingLLMs workspace. But I'm not sure if the tools are using this content for building the answer. In the LM studio log I can see a very small chunk of one of the uploaded web pages. But in total, the result is wrong. To get good embeddings values I downloaded nomic-embed-text-v1.5.Q8_0.gguf and use it for the Embedding Model Settings in LM Studio which might be not necessary, cause you didn't mentioned such steps in your video. I would appreciate any further hints. Thanks a lot in advance.

[@TimCarambat]

Absolutely, while you can "clear" a chat window you can always view all chats sent as a system admin and even export them for manual analysis or fine-tuning.

[@boomerstrikeforce]

Great overview!

Love you for your explain Love from INDIA 😊

[@moreloveandjoy]

Brilliant. Thank you.

Hi tim, citations showing are not correct it just showing random files ...is there any way to sort it out

[@ezdeezytube]

Instead of dragging files, can you connect it to a local folder? Also, why does the first query work but the second always fail? (it says "Could not respond to message. an error occured while streaming response")

[@scchengaiah4904]

Really awesome stuff. Thank you for bringing such quality aspects and making it open-source. Could you please help to understand on how efficiently the RAG pipeline in AnythingLLM works ? For example: If I upload a pdf with MultiModal content or If I want my document to be embedded in a semantic way or use Multi-vector search, Can we customize such advanced RAG features ?

[@fxstation1329]

Thank you so much for the concise tutorial. Can we use ollama and LM studio as well with AnythingLLM. It only takes either of them. I have some models in ollama, and some in LM. Would love to have them both in AnythingLLM. I don't know if this is possible though. Thanks!

[@TheExceptionalState]

Many thanks for this. I have been looking for this kind of solution for 6+ months now. Is it possible to create an LLM based uniquely on say a database of say 6000 pdfs?

[@TimCarambat]

A workspace, yes. You could then chat with that workspace over a period of time and then use the answers to create a fine-tune and then you'll have an LLM as well. Either way, it works. No limit on documents or embeddings or anything like that.

[@TheExceptionalState]

@@TimCarambatMany thanks! I shall investigate "workspaces". If I understand correctly I can use a folder instead of a document and AnythingLLM will work with the content it contains. Or was that too simplistic? I see other people are asking the same type of question.

[@Peter-bi4hm]

Did not work for me on Windows11. Tried to add a local document, but save and embed always throws an error. "The specified module could not be found. -> \AppData\Local\Programs\anythingllm-desktop esources\backend ode_modules\onnxruntime-node\bin api-v3\win32\x64\onnxruntime_binding.node" Then I tried to download the Xenova all-MiniLM-L6-v2 manually but the error remains.

[@milorad9301]

Hello Tim, you can make a video connecting Ollama with AnythingLLM?

[@stephanh1083]

Why am I having a problem with docs (pdf, txt). I get "Could not respond to message. An error occurred while streaning response, network error. Without docs it works fine with LM-Studio. What am I doing wrong? I use M1 with 16 GB Ram

[@opensource1000]

maybe watch the video and start your server and connect to it

[@stephanh1083]

@@opensource1000 Server is started and works fine with chat. When I use pdf or txt I get that error message and Anything LLM crashes. Yes, I will watch Video again, maybe I missed something.

[@frosti7]

Awesome, but anything LLM won't see PDFS with OCR like ChatGPT would, is there a multi-model that can do that?

[@TimCarambat]

We need to support vision first so we can enable OCR!

[@nightmisterio]

To add PDFs in the chat and make a Pools of knowledge to select from would be great.

[@NaveenKumar-vj9sc]

Thanks for the insights. What's the best alternative for a person who doesn't want to run locally yet he wants to use opensource LLMs for interacting with documents and webscraping for research.

[@TimCarambat]

OpenRouter has a ton of hosted open-source LLMs you can use. I think a majority of them are free and you just need an API key.

[@juhamattila]

for me the app does not open (1.7.0) or the window of the app does not appear, when i quit it and try to restart it it automaticly shutsdown i tried trashing the cache files with appcleaner then it behaves like first time starting, the app is on but window does not appear tried re-intalling also tried intel version. same behaviour. i have lulu outgoing firewall sometimes it picks some attemps and i allow those but other times it does not. also tried vpn turned off. weird thing is that one time it started fine i downloaded model it got stuck unpacking the model for two hours so ended up closing the app it did not open again after that. i wonder what might be blocking it on my computer?

[@Trendish_channel]

ohh.... this Mistral model has been trained on 10.2021... it`s so old.. 😟

[@TimCarambat]

If I recall there is I a mistral open hermes model and it has more recent info

[@Trendish_channel]

@@TimCarambat Yeahh... I tried it already - it says it was trained on December 2021

[@jongdonglu]

hey tim im on debian, lm studio runs and wonderfully well too, however im having a small issue, on the sidebar the only icon that isnt a weird square is the local server icons... what icon pack or font do i need from the repo?

[@TimCarambat]

phosphor icons

[@NicolasCadilhac]

Followed the instructions. At my first question in chat with mistral-7b, I get "Only user and assistant roles are supported!"

[@TimCarambat]

Using LMStudio?

[@bennguyen1313]

I notice some of the models are 25GB+.. BLOOM, Meta's Llama 2, Guanaco 65B and 33B, dolphin-2.5-mixtral-8x7b etc Do these models require training? If not, but you wanted to train it with custom data, does the size of the model grow, or does it just change and stay the same size? Aside from LMStudio , AnythingLLM , any thoughts on other tools that attempt to make it simpler to get started, like Oobabooga , gpt4all io , Google Colab , llamafile , Pinokio ?

[@avantigaming1627]

I am trying to access pdf and documentation present on a website I have given AnythingLLM, but it seems not to be working. Is it possible to do so, or do I need to manually download them from the website and attach them in AnythingLLM?

[@matheus-mondaini]

How can I add data into the ChromaDB for AnythingLLM to read it?

[@TimCarambat]

By uploading via the UI while Chroma is your selected vector DB

[@matheus-mondaini]

@@TimCarambat i need to do this via code, is it possible?

[@TimCarambat]

@@matheus-mondaini Yes, if you have an instance running or on desktop their is an API and you can see the endpoint "update-embeddings" for a workspace. Docs are usually at localhost:3001/api/docs
