Build Live AI and RAG Pipelines in Minutes with YAML Templates

Hello everyone! I am Jan, CTO and one of the creators of Pathway, the real-time data processing framework. I’m excited to share Pathway’s ready-to-use AI Pipelines, configurable with just YAML! These frameworks offer out-of-the-box solutions for AI search, RAG, and more—optimized for real-time indexing and in-memory processing. What makes it simple? YAML templates! The pipeline templates are fully customizable using YAMLs to fit your needs, from changing the data sources to the choice of the LLM model, all without touching Pathway’s Python code. Thanks to the Pathway data processing engine,…

    Hi HN data folks, I am excited to share Pathway, a Python data processing framework we built for ETL and RAG pipelines. https://github.com/pathwaycom/pathway We started Pathway to solve event processing for IoT and geospatial indexing. Think freight train operations in unmapped depots bringing key merchandise from China to Europe. This was not something we could use Flink or Elastic for. Then we added more connectors for streaming ETL (Kafka, Postgres CDC…), data indexing (yay vectors!), and LLM wrappers for RAG. Today Pathway provides a data indexing layer for live data…

  • Turn any website into a knowledge base for LLMs2024 · embedding.io · ▲305

    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...

    I've built an advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline from scratch to demystify the complex mechanics of modern LLM-powered Question Answering systems. This repository features: -- An implementation of a sub-question query engine from scratch to answer complex user questions. -- Illustrative explanations that unveil the inner workings of the system. -- An analysis of the challenges I faced while working with the system, like prompt engineering and cost estimation. -- Qualitative comparison with similar frameworks like LlamaIndex, offering a broader perspective. Key Takeaway:…

    I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome.
