Self Internet hosting RAG Purposes On Edge Units with Langchain

Introduction 

Within the second a part of our collection on constructing a RAG utility on a Raspberry Pi, we’ll increase on the muse we laid within the first half, the place we created and examined the core pipeline. Within the first half, we created the core pipeline and examined it to make sure every little thing labored as anticipated. Now, we’re going to take issues a step additional by constructing a FastAPI utility to serve our RAG pipeline and making a Reflex app to present customers a easy and interactive method to entry it. This half will information you thru establishing the FastAPI back-end, designing the front-end with Reflex, and getting every little thing up and working in your Raspberry Pi. By the top, you’ll have a whole, working utility that’s prepared for real-world use.

Studying Aims

  • Arrange a FastAPI back-end to combine with the present RAG pipeline and course of queries effectively.
  • Design a user-friendly interface utilizing Reflex to work together with the FastAPI back-end and the RAG pipeline.
  • Create and check API endpoints for querying and doc ingestion, guaranteeing clean operation with FastAPI.
  • Deploy and check the whole utility on a Raspberry Pi, guaranteeing each back-end and front-end parts operate seamlessly.
  • Perceive the combination between FastAPI and Reflex for a cohesive RAG utility expertise.
  • Implement and troubleshoot FastAPI and Reflex parts to offer a completely operational RAG utility on a Raspberry Pi.

In the event you missed the earlier version, you should definitely test it out right here: Self-Internet hosting RAG Purposes on Edge Units with Langchain and Ollama – Half I.

This text was revealed as part of the Knowledge Science Blogathon.

Creating Python Atmosphere

Earlier than we begin with creating the applying we have to setup the surroundings. Create an surroundings and set up the beneath dependencies:

As soon as the required packages are put in, we have to have the required fashions current within the machine. We are going to do that utilizing Ollama. Observe the steps from Half-1 of this text to obtain each the language and embedding fashions. Lastly, create two directories for the back-end and front-end functions.

As soon as the fashions are pulled utilizing Ollama, we’re able to construct the ultimate utility.

Growing the Again-Finish with FastAPI

Within the Half-1 of this text, now we have constructed the RAG pipeline having each the Ingestion and QnA modules. We have now examined each the pipelines utilizing some paperwork and so they have been completely working. Now we have to wrap the pipeline with FastAPI to create consumable API. It will assist us combine it with any front-end utility like Streamlit, Chainlit, Gradio, Reflex, React, Angular and so on. Let’s begin by constructing a construction for the applying. Following the construction is totally elective, however make certain to examine the dependency imports in the event you observe a special construction to create the app.

Beneath is the tree construction we’ll observe:

backend
├── app.py
├── necessities.txt
└── src
    ├── config.py
    ├── doc_loader
    │   ├── base_loader.py
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   └── pdf_loader.py
    ├── ingestion.py
    ├── __init__.py
    └── qna.py

Let’s begin with the config.py. This file will comprise all of the configurable choices for the applying, just like the Ollama URL, LLM title and the embeddings mannequin title. Beneath is an instance:

LANGUAGE_MODEL_NAME = "phi3"
EMBEDDINGS_MODEL_NAME = "nomic-embed-text"
OLLAMA_URL = "http://localhost:11434"

The base_loader.py file incorporates the mum or dad doc loader class that can be inherited by kids doc loader. On this utility we’re solely working with PDF information, so a Little one PDFLoader class can be
created that can inherit the BaseLoader class.

Beneath are the contents of base_loader.py and pdf_loader.py:

# base_loader.py
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class BaseLoader(ABC):
    def __init__(self, file_path: str) -> None:
        self.file_path = file_path

    @abstractmethod
    async def load_document(self):
        cross


# pdf_loader.py
import os

from .base_loader import BaseLoader
from langchain.schema import Doc
from langchain.document_loaders.pdf import PyMuPDFLoader
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter


class PDFLoader(BaseLoader):
    def __init__(self, file_path: str) -> None:
        tremendous().__init__(file_path)

    async def load_document(self):
        self.file_name = os.path.basename(self.file_path)
        loader = PyMuPDFLoader(file_path=self.file_path)

        text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(
            separator="n",
            chunk_size=1000,
            chunk_overlap=200,
        )
        pages = await loader.aload()
        total_pages = len(pages)
        chunks = []
        for idx, web page in enumerate(pages):
            chunks.append(
                Doc(
                    page_content=web page.page_content,
                    metadata=dict(
                        {
                            "file_name": self.file_name,
                            "page_no": str(idx + 1),
                            "total_pages": str(total_pages),
                        }
                    ),
                )
            )

        final_chunks = text_splitter.split_documents(chunks)
        return final_chunks

We have now mentioned the working of pdf_loader within the Half-1 of the article.

Subsequent, let’s construct the Ingestion class. That is identical because the one we constructed within the Half-1 of this text.

Code for Ingestion Class

import os
import config as cfg

from pinecone import Pinecone
from langchain.vectorstores.deeplake import DeepLake
from langchain.embeddings.ollama import OllamaEmbeddings
from .doc_loader import PDFLoader

class Ingestion:
    """Doc Ingestion pipeline."""
    def __init__(self):
        strive:
            self.embeddings = OllamaEmbeddings(
                mannequin=cfg.EMBEDDINGS_MODEL_NAME,
                base_url=cfg.OLLAMA_URL,
                show_progress=True,
            )
            self.vector_store = DeepLake(
                dataset_path="information/text_vectorstore",
                embedding=self.embeddings,
                num_workers=4,
                verbose=False,
            )
        besides Exception as e:
            increase RuntimeError(f"Did not initialize Ingestion system. ERROR: {e}")

    async def create_and_add_embeddings(
        self,
        file: str,
    ):
        strive:
            loader = PDFLoader(
                file_path=file,
            )

            chunks = await loader.load_document()
            dimension = await self.vector_store.aadd_documents(paperwork=chunks)
            return len(dimension)
        besides (ValueError, RuntimeError, KeyError, TypeError) as e:
            increase Exception(f"ERROR: {e}")

Now that now we have setup the Ingestion class, we’ll go ahead with creating the QnA class. This too is identical because the one we created within the Half-1 of this text.

Code for QnA Class

import os
import config as cfg

from pinecone import Pinecone
from langchain.vectorstores.deeplake import DeepLake
from langchain.embeddings.ollama import OllamaEmbeddings
from langchain_community.llms.ollama import Ollama
from .doc_loader import PDFLoader

class QnA:
    """Doc Ingestion pipeline."""
    def __init__(self):
        strive:
            self.embeddings = OllamaEmbeddings(
                mannequin=cfg.EMBEDDINGS_MODEL_NAME,
                base_url=cfg.OLLAMA_URL,
                show_progress=True,
            )
            self.mannequin = Ollama(
                mannequin=cfg.LANGUAGE_MODEL_NAME,
                base_url=cfg.OLLAMA_URL,
                verbose=True,
                temperature=0.2,
            )
            self.vector_store = DeepLake(
                dataset_path="information/text_vectorstore",
                embedding=self.embeddings,
                num_workers=4,
                verbose=False,
            )
            self.retriever = self.vector_store.as_retriever(
                search_type="similarity",
                search_kwargs={
                    "okay": 10,
                },
            )
        besides Exception as e:
            increase RuntimeError(f"Did not initialize Ingestion system. ERROR: {e}")

    def create_rag_chain(self):
        strive:
            system_prompt = """<Directions>nnContext: {context}"
            """
            immediate = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
                [
                    ("system", system_prompt),
                    ("human", "{input}"),
                ]
            )
            question_answer_chain = create_stuff_documents_chain(self.mannequin, immediate)
            rag_chain = create_retrieval_chain(self.retriever, question_answer_chain)

            return rag_chain
        besides Exception as e:
            increase RuntimeError(f"Did not create retrieval chain. ERROR: {e}")

With this now we have completed creating the code functionalities of the RAG app. Now let’s wrap the app with FastAPI.

Code for the FastAPI Software

import sys
import os
import uvicorn

from src import QnA, Ingestion
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, File, UploadFile
from fastapi.responses import StreamingResponse

app = FastAPI()

ingestion = Ingestion()
chatbot = QnA()
rag_chain = chatbot.create_rag_chain()


@app.get("https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/")
def howdy():
    return {"message": "API Operating in server 8089"}


@app.put up("/question")
async def ask_query(request: Request):
    information = await request.json()
    query = information.get("query")

    async def event_generator():
        for chunk in rag_chain.choose("reply").stream({"enter": query}):
            yield chunk

    return StreamingResponse(event_generator(), media_type="textual content/plain")


@app.put up("/ingest")
async def ingest_document(file: UploadFile = File(...)):
    strive:
        os.makedirs("information", exist_ok=True)
        file_location = f"information/{file.filename}"
        with open(file_location, "wb+") as file_object:
            file_object.write(file.file.learn())

        dimension = await ingestion.create_and_add_embeddings(file=file_location)
        return {"message": f"File ingested! Doc rely: {dimension}"}
    besides Exception as e:
        return {"message": f"An error occured: {e}"}


if __name__ == "__main__":
    strive:
        uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8089)
    besides KeyboardInterrupt as e:
        print("App stopped!")

Let’s breakdown the app by every endpoints:

  • First we initialize the FastAPI app, the Ingestion and the QnA objects. We then create a RAG chain utilizing the create_rag_chain methodology of QnA class.
  • Our first endpoint is an easy GET methodology. It will assist us know whether or not the app is wholesome or not. Consider it like a ‘Whats up World’ endpoint.
  • The second is the question endpoint. This can be a POST methodology and can be used to run the chain. It takes in a request parameter, from which we extract the person’s question. Then we create a asynchronous methodology that acts as an asynchronous wrapper across the chain.stream operate name. We have to do that to permit FastAPI to deal with the LLM’s stream operate name, to get a ChatGPT-like expertise within the chat interface. We then wrap the asynchronous methodology with StreamingResponse class and return it.
  • The third endpoint is the ingestion endpoint. It is also a POST methodology that takes in your complete file as bytes as enter. We retailer this file within the native listing after which ingest it utilizing the create_and_add_embeddings methodology of Ingestion class.

Lastly, we run the app utilizing uvicorn bundle, utilizing host and port. To check the app, merely run the applying utilizing the next command:

python app.py
Code for the FastAPI Application

Use a API testing IDE like Postman, Insomnia or Bruno for testing the applying. You too can use Thunder Consumer extension to do the identical.

Designing the Entrance-Finish with Reflex

We have now efficiently created a FastAPI app for the backend of our RAG utility. It’s time to construct our front-end. You may selected any front-end library for this, however for this specific article we’ll construct the front-end utilizing Reflex. Reflex is a python-only front-end library, created to construct net functions, purely utilizing python. It proves us with templates for frequent functions like calculator, picture era and chatbot. We are going to use the chatbot utility template as a begin for our person interface. Our remaining app could have the next construction, so let’s have it right here for reference.

Frontend Listing

We could have a frontend listing for this:

frontend
├── property
│   └── favicon.ico
├── docs
│   └── demo.gif
├── chat
│   ├── parts
│   │   ├── chat.py
│   │   ├── file_upload.py
│   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   ├── loading_icon.py
│   │   ├── modal.py
│   │   └── navbar.py
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── chat.py
│   └── state.py
├── necessities.txt
├── rxconfig.py
└── uploaded_files

Steps for Closing App

Observe the steps to arrange the grounding for the ultimate app.

Step1: Clone the chat template repository within the frontend listing

git clone https://github.com/reflex-dev/reflex-chat.git .

Step2: Run the next command to initialize the listing as a reflex app

reflex init
Run the following command to initialize the directory as a reflex app

It will setup the reflex app and can be able to run and develop. 

Step3: Take a look at the app, use the next command from contained in the frontend listing

reflex run
Test the app, use the following command from inside the frontend directory

Let’s begin modifying the parts. First let’s modify the chat.py file.

Beneath is the code for a similar:

import reflex as rx
from reflex_demo.parts import loading_icon
from reflex_demo.state import QA, State

message_style = dict(
    show="inline-block",
    padding="0 10px",

)


def message(qa: QA) -> rx.Element:

    return rx.field(
        rx.field(
            rx.markdown(
                qa.query,

    )


def chat() -> rx.Element:

    return rx.vstack(
        rx.field(rx.foreach(State.chats[State.current_chat], message), width="100%"),

                        rx.button(
                            rx.cond(
                                State.processing,
                                loading_icon(top="1em"),
                                rx.textual content("Ship", font_family="Ubuntu"),

                    is_disabled=State.processing,
                ),
                on_submit=State.process_question,
                reset_on_submit=True,
            ),
            rx.textual content(
                "ReflexGPT might return factually incorrect or deceptive responses. Use discretion.",
                text_align="middle",
                font_size=".75em",
                coloration=rx.coloration("mauve", 10),
                font_family="Ubuntu",
            ),
            rx.brand(margin_top="-1em", margin_bottom="-1em"),
            align_items="middle",
        ),
        place="sticky",
        backside="0",
        left="0",
        padding_y="16px",
        backdrop_filter="auto",
        backdrop_blur="lg",
        border_top=f"1px stable {rx.coloration('mauve', 3)}",
        background_color=rx.coloration("mauve", 2),
        align_items="stretch",
        width="100%",
    )

The adjustments are minimal from the one current natively within the template.

Subsequent, we’ll edit the chat.py app. That is the principle chat element.

Code for Most important Chat Element

Beneath is the code for it:

import reflex as rx
from reflex_demo.parts import chat, navbar, upload_form
from reflex_demo.state import State


@rx.web page(route="/chat", title="RAG Chatbot")
def chat_interface() -> rx.Element:
    return rx.chakra.vstack(
        navbar(),
        chat.chat(),
        chat.action_bar(),
        background_color=rx.coloration("mauve", 1),
        coloration=rx.coloration("mauve", 12),
        min_height="100vh",
        align_items="stretch",
        spacing="0",
    )


@rx.web page(route="https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/", title="RAG Chatbot")
def index() -> rx.Element:
    return rx.chakra.vstack(
        navbar(),
        upload_form(),
        background_color=rx.coloration("mauve", 1),
        coloration=rx.coloration("mauve", 12),
        min_height="100vh",
        align_items="stretch",
        spacing="0",
    )


# Add state and web page to the app.
app = rx.App(
    theme=rx.theme(
        look="darkish",
        accent_color="jade",
    ),
    stylesheets=["https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Ubuntu&display=swap"],
    model={
        "font_family": "Ubuntu",
    },
)
app.add_page(index)
app.add_page(chat_interface)

That is the code for the chat interface. We have now solely added the Font household to the app config, the remainder of the code is similar.

Subsequent let’s edit the state.py file. That is the place the frontend will make name to the API endpoints for response.

Modifying state.py File

import requests
import reflex as rx


class QA(rx.Base):
    query: str
    reply: str


DEFAULT_CHATS = {
    "Intros": [],
