Hey there HN! We’re Antonio, Luca, and Yuhang, and we’re excited to introduce Fast GraphRAG, an open-source RAG approach that leverages knowledge graphs and the 25 years old PageRank for better information retrieval and reasoning. Building a good RAG pipeline these days takes a lot of manual optimizations. Most engineers intuitively start from naive RAG: throw everything in a vector database and hope that semantic search is powerful enough. This can work for use cases where accuracy isn’t too important and hallucinations are tolerable, but it doesn’t work for more difficult queries that…

Hey HN, I’m Zach from Superpowered AI (YC S22). We’ve been working in the RAG space for a little over a year now, and we’ve recently decided to open-source all of our core retrieval tech. spRAG is a retrieval system that’s designed to handle complex real-world queries over dense text, like legal documents and financial reports. As far as we know, it produces the most accurate and reliable results of any RAG system for these kinds of tasks. For example, on FinanceBench, which is an especially challenging open-book financial question answering benchmark, spRAG gets 83% of questions correct,…

I built this tool because I wanted a way to just take a bunch of URLs or domains, and query their content in RAG applications. It takes away the pain of crawling, extracting content, chunking, vectorizing, and updating periodically. I'm curious to see if it can be useful to others. I meant to launch this six months ago but life got in the way...

Hello HN, I don't post on here much, but wanted to get some eyes on a new project I'm just launching. I think we definitely need one more AI code agent.. I'm a long-term C++ dev, and over 30+ years I've created some successful audio dev tools (JUCE, the Tracktion DAW, the Cmajor DSP language). All of these came from me getting annoyed with something I had to use, and deciding to have a go at my own take on whatever it was. So Juggler is my attempt at an AI code agent, after spending too many hours loving what the models could do, but hating the CLI experience, and having some opinions of…

Hey HN, I built this because I was tired of setting up the same RAG pipeline for every side project. The Problem: Most RAG tutorials give you an answer but don't show where it came from. Hallucinations are a dealbreaker for real apps. * The Solution:* I built a pipeline using Pinecone metadata to map vector chunks back to the original PDF page/text. The UI highlights the source snippet when the AI answers. Stack: Next.js 14 (App Router) Pinecone (Serverless) LangChain (Streaming) Supabase (Auth) Demo: https://www.fastrag.live Happy to answer questions about the chunking…

- Discovering the most effective RAG pipeline for your specific data and use case can be daunting. It requires experimenting with various RAG modules and configurations, which are both time-consuming and complex. - AutoRAG addresses this challenge by automatically evaluating different combinations of RAG modules and their parameters. You don't need to write implementation code yourself; everything is set up through a single YAML file. - Our aim is to save you the hassle of continuously adapting to new RAG modules and configurations. Instead, you can focus on developing robust data for your…

Hey hacker news, We’re the cofounders at Psychic.dev (http://psychic.dev) where we help companies connect LLMs to private data. With the launch of Llama 2, we think it’s finally viable to self-host an internal application that’s on-par with ChatGPT, so we did exactly that and made it an open source project. We also included a vector DB and API server so you can upload files and connect Llama 2 to your own data. The RAG in RAGstack stands for Retrieval Augmented Generation, a technique where the capabilities of a large language model (LLM) are augmented by retrieving information…

Dirac▲128It all started 4 months ago during my last startup. Even with barely any traction, I was getting about 20 emails a day. Some from cold randoms, some internal, some from prospects. And I just wasted so much time in my inbox. The current solutions? Superhuman and HEY. Sure they're pretty but the ai is just an after thought. And the tool that was supposed to help me just makes me, my own assistant. So I went and built Dirac. We're launching in 8 hours, https://www.producthunt.com/products/dirac-3?launch=dirac-4

Hi HN, While building RAG agents, I noticed a lot of token budget was wasted on formatting overhead (HTML tags, JSON structure, whitespace). Existing solutions felt too heavy (often requiring torch/transformers), so I wrote this lightweight, zero-dependency library to solve it. It includes strategies for context packing, PII redaction, and tool output compression. Benchmarks show it can save ~15% of tokens with negligible latency overhead (<0.5ms). Happy to answer any questions!

Got tired of wiring up vector stores, embedding models, and chunking logic every time I needed RAG. So I built piragi. from piragi import Ragi kb = Ragi(\["./docs", "./code/\*\*/\*.py", "https://api.example.com/docs"\]) answer = kb.ask("How do I deploy this?") That's the entire setup. No API keys required - runs on Ollama + sentence-transformers locally. What it does: - All formats - PDF, Word, Excel, Markdown, code, URLs, images, audio - Auto-updates - watches sources, refreshes in background, zero query latency - Citations - every answer includes sources…
