Use natural language to query and visualize 400M tweets

We've been working hard for the last year on building HeavyIQ, an LLM-powered plugin to the GPU-accelerated HeavyDB database, that allows users to ask natural language questions and get SQL, visualizations, and natural language answers back. The LLM itself is fine-tuned on tens of thousands of question and answer pairs, with a major focus around building the model’s proficiency at performing spatial and temporal joins. You can try it for yourself on this live demo of 400M tweets and a handful of other datasets of interest:…

In plain words

HeavyIQ is an AI-powered plugin for HeavyDB that lets users query large datasets using natural language. Users ask questions and receive SQL queries, visualizations, and written answers. The underlying language model is fine-tuned on thousands of question-answer pairs with emphasis on spatial and temporal joins. A live demo allows exploration of 400 million tweets and other sample datasets without coding.

    Web search using a ChatGPT-like model that can cite its sources2022 · beta.sayhello.so · ▲318

    We’ve trained a generative AI model to browse the web and answer questions/retrieve code snippets directly. Unlike ChatGPT, it has access to primary sources and is able to cite them when you hover over an answer (click on the text to go to the source being cited). We also show regular Bing results side-by-side with our AI answer. The model is an 11-billion parameter T5-derivative that has been fine-tuned on feedback given on hundreds of thousands of searches done (anonymously) on our platform. Giving the model web access lessens its burden to need to store a snapshot of human knowledge…

    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:…

    In-Browser Graph RAG with Kuzu-WASM and WebLLM2025 · blog.kuzudb.com · ▲158

    We show the potential of modern, embedded graph databases in the browser by demonstrating a fully in-browser chatbot that can perform Graph RAG using Kuzu (the graph database we're building) and WebLLM, a popular in-browser inference engine for LLMs. The post retrieves from the graph via a Text-to-Cypher pipeline that translates a user question into a Cypher query, and the LLM uses the retrieved results to synthesize a response. As LLMs get better, and WebGPU and Wasm64 become more widely adopted, we expect to be able to do more and more in the browser in combination with LLMs, so a lot of…
