Hey HN! We're excited to announce the launch of Tonic Textual, the secure data lakehouse for LLMs. Simply stated, Tonic Textual allows you to build generative AI systems on your own unstructured data without having to spend time extracting and standardizing your data. In minutes you can build automated, scalable unstructured data pipelines that extract, centralize, standardize, and enrich data from your documents into an AI-optimized format ready for embedding, fine-tuning, and ingesting into a vector database. While in-flight, we also scan for sensitive information and protect it via…

Built a tool for transforming unstructured data into structured outputs using language models (with 100% adherence). If you're facing problems getting GPT to adhere to a schema (JSON, XML, etc.) or regex, need to bulk process some unstructured data, or generate synthetic data, check it out. We run our own tuned model (you can self-host if you want), so, we're able to have incredibly fine grained control over text generation.

After working with LLMs for long enough, I found myself wanting a lightweight utility for doing various small tasks to prepare inputs, locate information and create evaluators. This library is two things: a very simple model and utilities that inference it (eg. fuzzy deduplication). The target platform is CPU, and it’s intended to be light, fast and pip installable — a library that lowers the barrier to working with strings semantically. You don’t need to install pytorch to use it, or any deep learning runtimes. How can this be accomplished? The model is simply token embeddings that are…

We developed a new framework that enables flexible control of generated text in language models. By combining several models and/or system prompts in one mathematical formula, it lets you tweak your style and combine model outputs with ease. A handy tool for those working with LLMs, looking for more fine-grained control of stylistic output. More details in our paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.14479. Feedback and potential applications are welcome.

I've been doing some data cleaning for my fine tuning projects using LLMs, and decided to just build a package for it as a side project. Check it out here: https://github.com/databonsai/databonsai Some features: - categorization (labelling), transformation and decomposition (text into structured format) - validates llm outputs - batch mode batches up the inputs/outputs so you don't send the prompt (schema, fewshot examples) for every row of data, saving a significant amount of tokens There are some similarities to the Instructor repo, but this is simpler and made for…

Hello HN! One of the most common uses of LLMs is to go beyond what traditional RPA or IDP can do when it comes to structuring unstructured documents. However, there are a lot of challenges in getting this done right from extraction of text data from PDFs, scanned images or other formats, prompt engineering, evaluation and integration with existing systems. This very specific use case is where Unstract can help teams move really fast, leveraging LLMs. By doing the heavy-lifting in this fast-changing ecosystem it lets engineers concentrate on implementing core business workflow automations.…

Hey HN, Joe and Ethan from Tonic.ai here. We just released a new open-source python package for evaluating the performance of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Earlier this year, we started developing a RAG-powered app to enable companies to talk to their free-text data safely. During our experimentation, however, we realized that using such a new method meant that there weren’t industry-standards for evaluation metrics to measure the accuracy of RAG performance. We built Tonic Validate Metrics (tvalmetrics, for short) to easily calculate the benchmarks we needed to meet in…

We are building Tonic Ephemeral - a purpose built test database that is easy and fast to spin up (or down) based on your dev and test requirements. As engineers who worked on data at Palantir and Tableau, we've seen developers struggle to get isolated test databases when needed. We faced the same problem while we were building our core product at Tonic. Based on this, we decided to build something for ourselves and then realized some of our customers loved it too. Today, we are sharing Tonic Ephemeral with the world. Briefly, Tonic Ephemeral manages test data infrastructure. In my…

Hi HackerNews, Lately, I have seen an explosion in posts offering paid APIs/services to get unstructured data into LLMs (i.e. langchain extract, ragflow, unstructured, unstract, just to name a few) and I have been largely disappointed by them, either because they fail to implement multimodal support, fail to give good context for "really tricky" PDFs / Word docs / Powerpoints, or are just plain difficult to use. In light of all these posts I figured I'd share my solution that has been working smoothly for me and my clients. I put it up on GitHub for free so you can check it…

Hi, I was a corporate lawyer for many years working with a lot of financial services and insurance companies. In practicing law, I noticed there was a lot of repetition in the tasks I was working on even as a highly paid attorney that could be automated. I wanted to solve the problem of dealing with a lot information and data in a practical way, using AI. This motivated me to start AI Bloks/LLMWare with my husband, who had a deep background in software and is a very early adopter of AI. We have been on this journey with our open source project LLMWare for the past 4 months, producing a…
