Usage policies

Updated
January 10, 2024

We’ve updated our usage policies to be more readable and added service-specific guidance.

We aim for our tools to be used safely and responsibly, while maximizing your control over how you
use them. By using our services, you agree to adhere to our policies.

We have established universal policies applicable to all our services, as well as specific policies for
builders who use ChatGPT or our API to create applications for themselves or others. Violating our
policies could result in action against your account, up to suspension or termination. We also work to
make our models safer and more useful, by training them to refuse harmful instructions and reduce
their tendency to produce harmful content.

We believe that learning from real-world use is a critical component of creating and releasing
increasingly safe AI systems. We cannot predict all beneficial or abusive uses of our technology, so
we proactively monitor for new abuse trends. Our policies will evolve based on what we learn over
time.

Universal Policies
To maximize innovation and creativity, we believe you should have the flexibility to use our services
as you see fit, so long as you comply with the law and don’t harm yourself or others. When using any
OpenAI service, like ChatGPT, labs.openai.com, and the OpenAI API, these rules apply:
1. Comply with applicable laws – for example, don’t compromise the privacy of others, engage in
regulated activity without complying with applicable regulations, or promote or engage in any
illegal activity, including the exploitation or harm of children and the development or distribution
of illegal substances, goods, or services.
2. Don’t use our service to harm yourself or others – for example, don’t use our services to promote
suicide or self-harm, develop or use weapons, injure others or destroy property, or engage in
unauthorized activities that violate the security of any service or system.
3. Don’t repurpose or distribute output from our services to harm others – for example, don’t share
output from our services to defraud, scam, spam, mislead, bully, harass, defame, discriminate
based on protected attributes, sexualize children, or promote violence, hatred or the suffering of
others.
4. Respect our safeguards - don’t circumvent safeguards or safety mitigations in our services unless
supported by OpenAI (e.g., domain experts in our Red Teaming Network) or related to research
conducted in accordance with our Sharing & Publication Policy.

We report apparent child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children.

Building with the OpenAI API Platform


The OpenAI Platform allows you to build entirely custom applications. As the developer of your
application, you are responsible for designing and implementing how your users interact with our
technology. To make this easier, we’ve shared our Safety best practices, and offer tools like our
Moderation Endpoint and customizable system messages.

We recognize that our API introduces new capabilities with scalable impact, so we have service-
specific policies that apply to all use of our APIs in addition to our Universal Policies:

1. Don’t compromise the privacy of others, including:


a. Collecting, processing, disclosing, inferring or generating personal data without complying
with applicable legal requirements
b. Using biometric systems for identification or assessment, including facial recognition
Facilitating spyware, communications surveillance, or unauthorized monitoring of individuals
2. Don’t perform or facilitate the following activities that may significantly impair the safety,
wellbeing, or rights of others, including:
a. Providing tailored legal, medical/health, or financial advice without review by a qualified
professional and disclosure of the use of AI assistance and its potential limitations
b. Making high-stakes automated decisions in domains that affect an individual’s safety, rights
or well-being (e.g., law enforcement, migration, management of critical infrastructure, safety
components of products, essential services, credit, employment, housing, education, social
scoring, or insurance)
c. Facilitating real money gambling or payday lending
d. Engaging in political campaigning or lobbying, including generating campaign materials
personalized to or targeted at specific demographics
e. Deterring people from participation in democratic processes, including misrepresenting
voting processes or qualifications and discouraging voting
3. Don’t misuse our platform to cause harm by intentionally deceiving or misleading others,
including:
a. Generating or promoting disinformation, misinformation, or false online engagement (e.g.,
comments, reviews)
b. Impersonating another individual or organization without consent or legal right
c. Engaging in or promoting academic dishonesty
d. Failing to ensure that automated systems (e.g., chatbots) disclose to people that they are
interacting with AI, unless it's obvious from the context
4. Don’t build tools that may be inappropriate for minors, including:
a. Sexually explicit or suggestive content. This does not include content created for scientific or
educational purposes.

Building with ChatGPT


Shared GPTs allow you to use ChatGPT to build experiences for others. Because your GPT’s users
are also OpenAI users, when building with ChatGPT, we have the following service-specific policies in
addition to our Universal Policies:

1. Don’t compromise the privacy of others, including:


a. Collecting, processing, disclosing, inferring or generating personal data without complying
with applicable legal requirements
b. Soliciting or collecting the following sensitive identifiers, security information, or their
equivalents: payment card information (e.g. credit card numbers or bank account
information), government identifiers (e.g. SSNs), API keys, or passwords
c. Using biometric identification systems for identification or assessment, including facial
recognition
d. Facilitating spyware, communications surveillance, or unauthorized monitoring of individuals
2. Don’t perform or facilitate the following activities that may significantly affect the safety, wellbeing,
or rights of others, including:
a. Taking unauthorized actions on behalf of users
b. Providing tailored legal, medical/health, or financial advice
c. Making automated decisions in domains that affect an individual’s rights or well-being (e.g.,
law enforcement, migration, management of critical infrastructure, safety components of
products, essential services, credit, employment, housing, education, social scoring, or
insurance)
d. Facilitating real money gambling or payday lending
e. Engaging in political campaigning or lobbying, including generating campaign materials
personalized to or targeted at specific demographics
f. Deterring people from participation in democratic processes, including misrepresenting
voting processes or qualifications and discouraging voting
3. Don’t misinform, misrepresent, or mislead others, including:
a. Generating or promoting disinformation, misinformation, or false online engagement (e.g.,
comments, reviews)
b. Impersonating another individual or organization without consent or legal right
c. Engaging in or promoting academic dishonesty
d. Using content from third parties without the necessary permissions
e. Misrepresenting or misleading others about the purpose of your GPT
4. Don’t build tools that may be inappropriate for minors, including:
a. Sexually explicit or suggestive content. This does not include content created for scientific or
educational purposes.
5. Don’t build tools that target users under 13 years of age.

We use a combination of automated systems, human review, and user reports to find and assess
GPTs that potentially violate our policies. Violations can lead to actions against the content or your
account, such as warnings, sharing restrictions, or ineligibility for inclusion in GPT Store or
monetization.

GPT Store
We want to make sure that GPTs in the GPT Store are appropriate for all users. For example, GPTs
that contain profanity in their names or that depict or promote graphic violence are not allowed in
our Store. We also don’t allow GPTs dedicated to fostering romantic companionship or performing
regulated activities.

These policies may be enforced automatically at submission time or applied retroactively upon
further review.

guidance.

Vector similarity search using Neon Postgres


Daniel
Open in Github
Sep 27, 2023

This notebook guides you through using Neon Serverless Postgres as a vector database for
OpenAI embeddings. It demonstrates how to:

1. Use embeddings created by OpenAI API.

2. Store embeddings in a Neon Serverless Postgres database.

3. Convert a raw text query to an embedding with OpenAI API.

4. Use Neon with the pgvector extension to perform vector similarity search.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:

1. A Neon Postgres database. You can create an account and set up a project with a ready-to-
use neondb database in a few simple steps. For instructions, see Sign up and Create your
first project.

2. A connection string for your Neon database. You can copy it from the Connection Details
widget on the Neon Dashboard. See Connect from any application.

3. The pgvector extension. Install the extension in Neon by running CREATE EXTENSION
vector; . For instructions, see Enable the pgvector extension.

4. Your OpenAI API key.

5. Python and pip .

Install required modules


This notebook requires the openai , psycopg2 , pandas , wget , and python-dotenv packages.
You can install them with pip :

! pip install openai psycopg2 pandas wget python-dotenv

Prepare your OpenAI API key

An OpenAI API key is required to generate vectors for documents and queries.

If you do not have an OpenAI API key, obtain one from


https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Add the OpenAI API key as an operating system environment variable or provide it for the
session when prompted. If you define an environment variable, name the variable
OPENAI_API_KEY .

For information about configuring your OpenAI API key as an environment variable, refer to
Best Practices for API Key Safety.

Test your OpenAPI key

# Test to ensure that your OpenAI API key is defined as an environment variable or provide it when pr
# If you run this notebook locally, you may have to reload the terminal and the notebook to make the

import os
from getpass import getpass

# Check if OPENAI_API_KEY is set as an environment variable


if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:
print("Your OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
# If not, prompt for it
api_key = getpass("Enter your OPENAI_API_KEY: ")
if api_key:
print("Your OPENAI_API_KEY is now available for this session")
# Optionally, you can set it as an environment variable for the current session
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = api_key
else:
print("You did not enter your OPENAI_API_KEY")

Your OPENAI_API_KEY is ready


Connect to your Neon database

Provide your Neon database connection string below or define it in an .env file using a
DATABASE_URL variable. For information about obtaining a Neon connection string, see Connect

from any application.

import os
import psycopg2
from dotenv import load_dotenv

# Load environment variables from .env file


load_dotenv()

# The connection string can be provided directly here.


# Replace the next line with Your Neon connection string.

This guide uses pre-computed Wikipedia article embeddings available in the OpenAI Cookbook
examples directory so that you do not have to compute embeddings with your own OpenAI

credits.

Import the pre-computed embeddings zip file:

import wget

embeddings_url = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde

# The file is ~700 MB. Importing it will take several minutes.


wget.download(embeddings_url)

'vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.zip'

Extract the downloaded zip file:

import zipfile
import os
import re
import tempfile

current_directory = os.getcwd()
zip_file_path = os.path.join(current_directory, "vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.zip")
output_directory = os.path.join(current_directory, "../../data")

with zipfile.ZipFile(zip_file_path, "r") as zip_ref:


zip_ref.extractall(output_directory)

# Check to see if the csv file was extracted


file_name = "vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv"
data_directory = os.path.join(current_directory, "../../data")
file_path = os.path.join(data_directory, file_name)

if os.path.exists(file_path):
print(f"The csv file {file_name} exists in the data directory.")
else:
print(f"The csv file {file_name} does not exist in the data directory.")

The file vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv exists in the data directory.


Create a table and add indexes for your vector embeddings

The vector table created in your database is called articles. Each object has title and content
vectors.

An index is defined on both the title and content vector columns.

create_table_sql = '''
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS public.articles (
id INTEGER NOT NULL,
url TEXT,
title TEXT,
content TEXT,
title_vector vector(1536),
content_vector vector(1536),
vector_id INTEGER
);

ALTER TABLE public.articles ADD PRIMARY KEY (id);


'''

# SQL statement for creating indexes


create_indexes_sql = '''
CREATE INDEX ON public.articles USING ivfflat (content_vector) WITH (lists = 1000);

CREATE INDEX ON public.articles USING ivfflat (title_vector) WITH (lists = 1000);


'''

# Execute the SQL statements


cursor.execute(create_table_sql)
cursor.execute(create_indexes_sql)

# Commit the changes


connection.commit()

Load the data

Load the pre-computed vector data into your articles table from the .csv file. There are
25000 records, so expect the operation to take several minutes.

import io

# Path to your local CSV file


csv_file_path = '../../data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv'

# Define a generator function to process the csv file


def process_file(file_path):
with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:
for line in file:
yield line

# Create a StringIO object to store the modified lines


modified_lines = io.StringIO(''.join(list(process_file(csv_file_path))))

# Create the COPY command for copy_expert


copy_command = '''
COPY public.articles (id, url, title, content, title_vector, content_vector, vector_id)
FROM STDIN WITH (FORMAT CSV, HEADER true, DELIMITER ',');
'''

# Execute the COPY command using copy_expert


cursor.copy_expert(copy_command, modified_lines)

# Commit the changes


connection.commit()

Check the number of records to ensure the data has been been loaded. There should be 25000
records.

# Check the size of the data


count_sql = """select count(*) from public.articles;"""
cursor.execute(count_sql)
result = cursor.fetchone()
print(f"Count:{result[0]}")

Count:25000

Search your data

After the data is stored in your Neon database, you can query the data for nearest neighbors.

Start by defining the query_neon function, which is executed when you run the vector similarity
search. The function creates an embedding based on the user's query, prepares the SQL query,
and runs the SQL query with the embedding. The pre-computed embeddings that you loaded
into your database were created with text-embedding-3-small OpenAI model, so you must use
the same model to create an embedding for the similarity search.

A vector_name parameter is provided that allows you to search based on "title" or "content".

def query_neon(query, collection_name, vector_name="title_vector", top_k=20):


# Create an embedding vector from the user query
embedded_query = openai.Embedding.create(
input=query,
model="text-embedding-3-small",
)["data"][0]["embedding"]

# Convert the embedded_query to PostgreSQL compatible format


embedded_query_pg = "[" + ",".join(map(str, embedded_query)) + "]"

# Create the SQL query


query_sql = f"""
SELECT id, url, title, l2_distance({vector_name},'{embedded_query_pg}'::VECTOR(1536)) AS similari
FROM {collection_name}
ORDER BY {vector_name} <-> '{embedded_query_pg}'::VECTOR(1536)
LIMIT {top_k};
"""
# Execute the query
cursor.execute(query_sql)
results = cursor.fetchall()

return results

Run a similarity search based on title_vector embeddings:

# Query based on `title_vector` embeddings


import openai

query_results = query_neon("Greek mythology", "Articles")

How to implement LLM guardrails


Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Dec 18, 2023

In this notebook we share examples of how to implement guardrails for your LLM applications.
A guardrail is a generic term for detective controls that aim to steer your application. Greater
steerability is a common requirement given the inherent randomness of LLMs, and so creating
effective guardrails has become one of the most common areas of performance optimization
when pushing an LLM from prototype to production.

Guardrails are incredibly diverse and can be deployed to virtually any context you can imagine
something going wrong with LLMs. This notebook aims to give simple examples that can be
extended to meet your unique use case, as well as outlining the trade-offs to consider when
deciding whether to implement a guardrail, and how to do it.

This notebook will focus on:

1. Input guardrails that flag inappropriate content before it gets to your LLM

2. Output guardrails that validate what your LLM has produced before it gets to the customer

Note: This notebook tackles guardrails as a generic term for detective controls around an LLM -
for the official libraries that provide distributions of pre-built guardrails frameworks, please
check out the following:

NeMo Guardrails

Guardrails AI

import openai

GPT_MODEL = 'gpt-3.5-turbo'
1. Input guardrails

Input guardrails aim to prevent inappropriate content getting to the LLM in the first place -
some common use cases are:

Topical guardrails: Identify when a user asks an off-topic question and give them advice on
what topics the LLM can help them with.

Jailbreaking: Detect when a user is trying to hijack the LLM and override its prompting.

Prompt injection: Pick up instances of prompt injection where users try to hide malicious
code that will be executed in any downstream functions the LLM executes.

In all of these they act as a preventative control, running either before or in parallel with the
LLM, and triggering your application to behave differently if one of these criteria are met.

Designing a guardrail

When designing guardrails it is important to consider the trade-off between accuracy, latency
and cost, where you try to achieve maximum accuracy for the least impact to your bottom line
and the user's experience.

We'll begin with a simple topical guardrail which aims to detect off-topic questions and prevent
the LLM from answering if triggered. This guardrail consists of a simple prompt and uses gpt-
3.5-turbo , maximising latency/cost over accuracy, but if we wanted to optimize further we

could consider:

Accuracy: You could consider using a fine-tuned model or few-shot examples to increase
the accuracy. RAG can also be effective if you have a corpus of information that can help
determine whether a piece of content is allowed or not.

Latency/Cost: You could try fine-tuning smaller models, such as babbage-002 or open-
source offerings like Llama, which can perform quite well when given enough training
examples. When using open-source offerings you can also tune the machines you are using
for inference to maximize either cost or latency reduction.

This simple guardrail aims to ensure the LLM only answers to a predefined set of topics, and
responds to out-of-bounds queries with a canned message.
Embrace async

A common design to minimize latency is to send your guardrails asynchronously along with
your main LLM call. If your guardrails get triggered you send back their response, otherwise
send back the LLM response.

We'll use this approach, creating an execute_chat_with_guardrails function that will run our
LLM's get_chat_response and the topical_guardrail guardrail in parallel, and return the LLM
response only if the guardrail returns allowed .

Limitations

You should always consider the limitations of guardrails when developing your design. A few of
the key ones to be aware of are:

When using LLMs as a guardrail, be aware that they have the same vulnerabilities as your
base LLM call itself. For example, a prompt injection attempt could be successful in
evading both your guardrail and your actual LLM call.

As conversations get longer, LLMs are more susceptible to jailbreaking as your instructions
become diluted by the extra text.

Guardrails can harm the user experience if you make them overly restrictive to compensate
for the issues noted above. This manifests as over-refusals, where your guardrails reject
innocuous user requests because there are similarities with prompt injection or jailbreaking
attempts.

Mitigations
If you can combine guardrails with rules-based or more traditional machine learning models for
detection this can mitigate some of these risks. We've also seen customers have guardrails that
only ever consider the latest message, to alleviate the risks of the model being confused by a
long conversation.

We would also recommend doing a gradual roll-out with active monitoring of conversations so
you can pick up instances of prompt injection or jailbreaking, and either add more guardrails to
cover these new types of behaviour, or include them as training examples to your existing
guardrails.

I can only talk about cats and dogs, the best animals that ever lived.

Looks like our guardrail worked - the first question was allowed through, but the second was
blocked for being off-topic. Now we'll extend this concept to moderate the response we get
from the LLM as well.

2. Output guardrails
Output guardrails govern what the LLM comes back with. These can take many forms, with
some of the most common being:

Hallucination/fact-checking guardrails: Using a corpus of ground truth information or a


training set of hallucinated responses to block hallucinated responses.

Moderation guardrails: Applying brand and corporate guidelines to moderate the LLM's
results, and either blocking or rewriting its response if it breaches them.

Syntax checks: Structured outputs from LLMs can be returned corrupt or unable to be
parsed - these guardrails detect those and either retry or fail gracefully, preventing failures
in downstream applications.

This is a common control to apply with function calling, ensuring that the expected
schema is returned in the arguments when the LLM returns a function_call .

Moderation guardrail
Here we implement a moderation guardrail that uses a version of the G-Eval evaluation
method to score the presence of unwanted content in the LLM's response. This method is
demonstrated in more detail in of our other notebooks.

To accomplish this we will make an extensible framework for moderating content that takes in a
domain and applies criteria to a piece of content using a set of steps :

1. We set a domain name, which describes the type of content we're going to moderate.

2. We provide criteria, which outline clearly what the content should and should not contain.

3. Step-by-step instructions are provided for the LLM to grade the content.

4. The LLM returns a discrete score from 1-5.

Setting guardrail thresholds

Our output guardrail will assess the LLM's response and block anything scoring a 3 or higher.
Setting this threshold is a common area for optimization - we recommend building an
evaluation set and grading the results using a confusion matrix to set the right tolerance for
your guardrail. The trade-off here is generally:
More false positives leads to a fractured user experience, where customers get annoyed
and the assistant seems less helpful.

More false negatives can cause lasting harm to your business, as people get the assistant to
answer inappropriate questions, or prompt inject/jailbreak it.

For example, for jailbreaking you may want to have a very low threshold, as the risk to your
business if your LLM is hijacked and used to produce dangerous content that ends up on social
media is very high. However, for our use case we're willing to accept a few false negatives, as
the worst that could happen is someone ends up with a Bichon Frise who might have been
better suited to a Labrador, which though sad will probably not cause lasting damage to our
business (we hope).

Conclusion

Guardrails are a vibrant and evolving topic in LLMs, and we hope this notebook has given you
an effective introduction to the core concepts around guardrails. To recap:

Guardrails are detective controls that aim to prevent harmful content getting to your
applications and your users, and add steerability to your LLM in production.

They can take the form of input guardrails, which target content before it gets to the LLM,
and output guardrails, which control the LLM's response.

Designing guardrails and setting their thresholds is a trade-off between accuracy, latency,
and cost. Your decision should be based on clear evaluations of the performance of your
guardrails, and an understanding of what the cost of a false negative and false positive are
for your business.

By embracing asynchronous design principles, you can scale guardrails horizontally to


minimize the impact to the user as your guardrails increase in number and scope.

We look forward to seeing how you take this forward, and how thinking on guardrails evolves as
the ecosystem matures.

Dataset Preparation

We download a dataset from LegalBench, a project to curate tasks for evaluating legal
reasoning, specifically the Contract NLI Explicit Identification task.

This comprises of a total of 117 examples, from which we will create our own train and test
datasets

from datasets import load_dataset

# Download the data, merge into a single dataset and shuffle


dataset = load_dataset("nguha/legalbench", "contract_nli_explicit_identification")

data = []
for d in dataset["train"]:
data.append(d)

for d in dataset["test"]:
data.append(d)

random.shuffle(data)

for idx, d in enumerate(data):


d["new_index"] = idx

Let's look at a few samples.

len(data), data[0:2]

Format our Data for Chat Completion Models

We modify the base_prompt from the LegalBench task to make it a zero-shot prompt, as we are
training the model instead of using few-shot prompting

base_prompt_zero_shot = "Identify if the clause provides that all Confidential Information shall be e

We now split it into training/validation dataset, lets train on 30 samples and test on the
remainder

n_train = 30
n_test = len(data) - n_train

train_messages = []

for d in data:
prompts = []
prompts.append({"role": "system", "content": base_prompt_zero_shot})

Save the data to Weigths & Biases

Save the data in a train and test file first

train_file_path = 'encoded_train_data.jsonl'
with open(train_file_path, 'w') as file:
for item in train_messages:
line = json.dumps(item)

with open(test_file_path, 'w') as file:
for item in test_messages:
line = json.dumps(item)
file.write(line + '\n')

Next, we validate that our training data is in the correct format using a script from the OpenAI
fine-tuning documentation

# Next, we specify the data path and open the JSONL file

def openai_validate_data(dataset_path):
data_path = dataset_path

# Load dataset
with open(data_path) as f:
dataset = [json.loads(line) for line in f]

# We can inspect the data quickly by checking the number of examples and the first item
# Initial dataset stats
print("Num examples:", len(dataset))
print("First example:")
for message in dataset[0]["messages"]:
print(message)

# Now that we have a sense of the data, we need to go through all the different examples and check

# Format error checks


format_errors = defaultdict(int)

for ex in dataset:
if not isinstance(ex, dict):
format_errors["data_type"] += 1
continue

messages = ex.get("messages", None)


if not messages:

few minutes depending on the size of your dataset.

We can run a few different fine-tunes with different parameters or even with different datasets.
Log OpenAI fine-tune jobs to Weights & Biases

We can log our fine-tunes with a simple command.

!openai wandb sync --help

usage: openai wandb sync [-h] [-i ID] [-n N_FINE_TUNES] [--project PROJECT]
[--entity ENTITY] [--force] [--legacy]

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i ID, --id ID The id of the fine-tune job (optional)
-n N_FINE_TUNES, --n_fine_tunes N_FINE_TUNES
Number of most recent fine-tunes to log when an id is
not provided. By default, every fine-tune is synced.
--project PROJECT Name of the Weights & Biases project where you're
sending runs. By default, it is "OpenAI-Fine-Tune".
--entity ENTITY Weights & Biases username or team name where you're
sending runs. By default, your default entity is used,
which is usually your username.
--force Forces logging and overwrite existing wandb run of the
same fine-tune.
--legacy Log results from legacy OpenAI /v1/fine-tunes api

Calling openai wandb sync will log all un-synced fine-tuned jobs to W&B

Below we are just logging 1 job, passing:

our OpenAI key as an environment variable

the id of the fine-tune job we'd like to log

the W&B project of where to log it to

See the OpenAI section in the Weights & Biases documentation for full details of the
integration

Finding your next book


In this notebook we will be going over generating embeddings of book descriptions with
OpenAI and using those embeddings within Zilliz to find relevant books. The dataset in this
example is sourced from HuggingFace datasets, and contains a little over 1 million title-
description pairs.

Lets begin by first downloading the required libraries for this notebook:

openai is used for communicating with the OpenAI embedding service

pymilvus is used for communicating with the Zilliz instance

datasets is used for downloading the dataset

tqdm is used for the progress bars

! pip install openai pymilvus datasets tqdm

To get Zilliz up and running take a look here. With your account and database set up, proceed
to set the following values:

URI: The URI your database is running on

USER: Your database username

PASSWORD: Your database password

COLLECTION_NAME: What to name the collection within Zilliz

DIMENSION: The dimension of the embeddings

OPENAI_ENGINE: Which embedding model to use

openai.api_key: Your OpenAI account key

INDEX_PARAM: The index settings to use for the collection

QUERY_PARAM: The search parameters to use

BATCH_SIZE: How many texts to embed and insert at once

Dataset

With Zilliz up and running we can begin grabbing our data. Hugging Face Datasets is a hub
that holds many different user datasets, and for this example we are using Skelebor's book
dataset. This dataset contains title-description pairs for over 1 million books. We are going to
embed each description and store it within Zilliz along with its title.
import datasets

# Download the dataset and only use the `train` portion (file is around 800Mb)
dataset = datasets.load_dataset('Skelebor/book_titles_and_descriptions_en_clean', split='train')

Insert the Data

Now that we have our data on our machine we can begin embedding it and inserting it into
Zilliz. The embedding function takes in text and returns the embeddings in a list format.

# Simple function that converts the texts to embeddings


def embed(texts):
embeddings = openai.Embedding.create(
input=texts,
engine=OPENAI_ENGINE
)
return [x['embedding'] for x in embeddings['data']]

This next step does the actual inserting. Due to having so many datapoints, if you want to
immediately test it out you can stop the inserting cell block early and move along. Doing this
will probably decrease the accuracy of the results due to less datapoints, but it should still be
good enough.

from tqdm import tqdm

data = [
[], # title
[], # description
]

# Embed and insert in batches


for i in tqdm(range(0, len(dataset))):
data[0].append(dataset[i]['title'])
data[1].append(dataset[i]['description'])
if len(data[0]) % BATCH_SIZE == 0:
data.append(embed(data[1]))
collection.insert(data)
data = [[],[]]

# Embed and insert the remainder


if len(data[0]) != 0:
data.append(embed(data[1]))

Query the Database

With our data safely inserted in Zilliz, we can now perform a query. The query takes in a string
or a list of strings and searches them. The results print out your provided description and the
results that include the result score, the result title, and the result book description.

Finding your next book

In this notebook we will be going over generating embeddings of book descriptions with
OpenAI and using those embeddings within Milvus to find relevant books. The dataset in this
example is sourced from HuggingFace datasets, and contains a little over 1 million title-
description pairs.

Lets begin by first downloading the required libraries for this notebook:

openai is used for communicating with the OpenAI embedding service

pymilvus is used for communicating with the Milvus server

datasets is used for downloading the dataset

tqdm is used for the progress bars

! pip install openai pymilvus datasets tqdm

Regression using the embeddings


Boris Power, Ted Sanders, Logan Kilpatrick
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

Regression means predicting a number, rather than one of the categories. We will predict the
score based on the embedding of the review's text. We split the dataset into a training and a
testing set for all of the following tasks, so we can realistically evaluate performance on unseen
data. The dataset is created in the Get_embeddings_from_dataset Notebook.

We're predicting the score of the review, which is a number between 1 and 5 (1-star being
negative and 5-star positive).

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from ast import literal_eval

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor


from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error, mean_absolute_error

datafile_path = "data/fine_food_reviews_with_embeddings_1k.csv"

df = pd.read_csv(datafile_path)
df["embedding"] = df.embedding.apply(literal_eval).apply(np.array)

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(list(df.embedding.values), df.Score, test_size=0

rfr = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=100)
rfr.fit(X_train, y_train)
preds = rfr.predict(X_test)

mse = mean_squared_error(y_test, preds)


mae = mean_absolute_error(y_test, preds)

print(f"text-embedding-3-small performance on 1k Amazon reviews: mse={mse:.2f}, mae={mae:.2f}")

text-embedding-3-small performance on 1k Amazon reviews: mse=0.65, mae=0.52


bmse = mean_squared_error(y_test, np.repeat(y_test.mean(), len(y_test)))
bmae = mean_absolute_error(y_test, np.repeat(y_test.mean(), len(y_test)))
print(
f"Dummy mean prediction performance on Amazon reviews: mse={bmse:.2f}, mae={bmae:.2f}"
)

Dummy mean prediction performance on Amazon reviews: mse=1.73, mae=1.03

We can see that the embeddings are able to predict the scores with an average error of 0.53 per
score prediction. This is roughly equivalent to predicting half of reviews perfectly, and half off by
one star.

You could also train a classifier to predict the label, or use the embeddings within an existing ML
model to encode free text features.

How to use functions with a knowledge base


Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Jun 13, 2023

This notebook builds on the concepts in the argument generation notebook, by creating an
agent with access to a knowledge base and two functions that it can call based on the user
requirement.

We'll create an agent that uses data from arXiv to answer questions about academic subjects. It
has two functions at its disposal:

get_articles: A function that gets arXiv articles on a subject and summarizes them for the
user with links.

read_article_and_summarize: This function takes one of the previously searched articles,


reads it in its entirety and summarizes the core argument, evidence and conclusions.

This will get you comfortable with a multi-function workflow that can choose from multiple
services, and where some of the data from the first function is persisted to be used by the
second.

Walkthrough

This cookbook takes you through the following workflow:

Search utilities: Creating the two functions that access arXiv for answers.

Configure Agent: Building up the Agent behaviour that will assess the need for a function
and, if one is required, call that function and present results back to the agent.

arXiv conversation: Put all of this together in live conversation.

Using logprobs
James Hills, Shyamal Anadkat
Open in Github
Dec 19, 2023

This notebook demonstrates the use of the logprobs parameter in the Chat Completions API.
When logprobs is enabled, the API returns the log probabilities of each output token, along
with a limited number of the most likely tokens at each token position and their log
probabilities. The relevant request parameters are:

logprobs : Whether to return log probabilities of the output tokens or not. If true, returns

the log probabilities of each output token returned in the content of message. This option
is currently not available on the gpt-4-vision-preview model.

top_logprobs : An integer between 0 and 5 specifying the number of most likely tokens to

return at each token position, each with an associated log probability. logprobs must be
set to true if this parameter is used.

Log probabilities of output tokens indicate the likelihood of each token occurring in the
sequence given the context. To simplify, a logprob is log(p) , where p = probability of a token
occurring at a specific position based on the previous tokens in the context. Some key points
about logprobs :

Higher log probabilities suggest a higher likelihood of the token in that context. This allows
users to gauge the model's confidence in its output or explore alternative responses the
model considered.

Logprob can be any negative number or 0.0 . 0.0 corresponds to 100% probability.

Logprobs allow us to compute the joint probability of a sequence as the sum of the
logprobs of the individual tokens. This is useful for scoring and ranking model outputs.
Another common approach is to take the average per-token logprob of a sentence to
choose the best generation.
We can examine the logprobs assigned to different candidate tokens to understand what
options the model considered plausible or implausible.

While there are a wide array of use cases for logprobs , this notebook will focus on its use for:

1. Classification tasks

Large Language Models excel at many classification tasks, but accurately measuring the
model's confidence in its outputs can be challenging. logprobs provide a probability
associated with each class prediction, enabling users to set their own classification or
confidence thresholds.

2. Retrieval (Q&A) evaluation

logprobs can assist with self-evaluation in retrieval applications. In the Q&A example, the
model outputs a contrived has_sufficient_context_for_answer boolean, which can serve
as a confidence score of whether the answer is contained in the retrieved content.
Evaluations of this type can reduce retrieval-based hallucinations and enhance accuracy.

3. Autocomplete

logprobs could help us decide how to suggest words as a user is typing.

4. Token highlighting and outputting bytes\n",

Users can easily create a token highlighter using the built in tokenization that comes with
enabling logprobs . Additionally, the bytes parameter includes the ASCII encoding of each
output character, which is particularly useful for reproducing emojis and special characters."

1. Using logprobs to assess confidence for classification tasks

Let's say we want to create a system to classify news articles into a set of pre-defined categories.
Without logprobs , we can use Chat Completions to do this, but it is much more difficult to
assess the certainty with which the model made its classifications.

Now, with logprobs enabled, we can see exactly how confident the model is in its predictions,
which is crucial for creating an accurate and trustworthy classifier. For example, if the log
probability for the chosen category is high, this suggests the model is quite confident in its
classification. If it's low, this suggests the model is less confident. This can be particularly useful
in cases where the model's classification is not what you expected, or when the model's output
needs to be reviewed or validated by a human.

We'll begin with a prompt that presents the model with four categories: Technology, Politics,
Sports, and Arts. The model is then tasked with classifying articles into these categories based
solely on their headlines.
CLASSIFICATION_PROMPT = """You will be given a headline of a news article.
Classify the article into one of the following categories: Technology, Politics, Sports, and Art.
Return only the name of the category, and nothing else.
MAKE SURE your output is one of the four categories stated.
Article headline: {headline}"""

Let's look at three sample headlines, and first begin with a standard Chat Completions output,
without logprobs

headlines = [
"Tech Giant Unveils Latest Smartphone Model with Advanced Photo-Editing Features.",
"Local Mayor Launches Initiative to Enhance Urban Public Transport.",
"Tennis Champion Showcases Hidden Talents in Symphony Orchestra Debut",
]

for headline in headlines:


print(f"\nHeadline: {headline}")
API_RESPONSE = get_completion(
[{"role": "user", "content": CLASSIFICATION_PROMPT.format(headline=headline)}],
model="gpt-4",
)
print(f"Category: {API_RESPONSE.choices[0].message.content}\n")

Headline: Tech Giant Unveils Latest Smartphone Model with Advanced Photo-Editing Features.
Category: Technology

Headline: Local Mayor Launches Initiative to Enhance Urban Public Transport.


Category: Politics

Headline: Tennis Champion Showcases Hidden Talents in Symphony Orchestra Debut


Category: Art

Here we can see the selected category for each headline. However, we have no visibility into the
confidence of the model in its predictions. Let's rerun the same prompt but with logprobs
enabled, and top_logprobs set to 2 (this will show us the 2 most likely output tokens for each
token). Additionally we can also output the linear probability of each output token, in order to
convert the log probability to the more easily interprable scale of 0-100%.
for headline in headlines:
print(f"\nHeadline: {headline}")
API_RESPONSE = get_completion(
[{"role": "user", "content": CLASSIFICATION_PROMPT.format(headline=headline)}],
model="gpt-4",
logprobs=True,
top_logprobs=2,
)
top_two_logprobs = API_RESPONSE.choices[0].logprobs.content[0].top_logprobs
html_content = ""
for i, logprob in enumerate(top_two_logprobs, start=1):
html_content += (
f"<span style='color: cyan'>Output token {i}:</span> {logprob.token}, "
f"<span style='color: darkorange'>logprobs:</span> {logprob.logprob}, "
f"<span style='color: magenta'>linear probability:</span> {np.round(np.exp(logprob.logpro
)
display(HTML(html_content))
print("\n")

Headline: Tech Giant Unveils Latest Smartphone Model with Advanced Photo-Editing Features.

Output token 1: Technology, logprobs: -2.4584822e-06, linear probability: 100.0%


Output token 2: Techn, logprobs: -13.781253, linear probability: 0.0%

Headline: Local Mayor Launches Initiative to Enhance Urban Public Transport.

Output token 1: Politics, logprobs: -2.4584822e-06, linear probability: 100.0%


Output token 2: Technology, logprobs: -13.937503, linear probability: 0.0%

Headline: Tennis Champion Showcases Hidden Talents in Symphony Orchestra Debut

As expected from the first two headlines, gpt-4 is nearly 100% confident in its classifications, as
the content is clearly technology and politics focused respectively. However, the third headline
combines both sports and art-related themes, so we see the model is less confident in its
selection.
This shows how important using logprobs can be, as if we are using LLMs for classification
tasks we can set confidence theshholds, or output several potential output tokens if the log
probability of the selected output is not sufficiently high. For instance, if we are creating a
recommendation engine to tag articles, we can automatically classify headlines crossing a
certain threshold, and send the less certain headlines for manual review.

2. Retrieval confidence scoring to reduce hallucinations

To reduce hallucinations, and the performance of our RAG-based Q&A system, we can use
logprobs to evaluate how confident the model is in its retrieval.

Let's say we have built a retrieval system using RAG for Q&A, but are struggling with
hallucinated answers to our questions. Note: we will use a hardcoded article for this example,
but see other entries in the cookbook for tutorials on using RAG for Q&A.

# Article retrieved
ada_lovelace_article = """Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (née Byron; 10 December 1815 – 27 No

"""

# Questions that can be easily answered given the article


easy_questions = [
"What nationality was Ada Lovelace?",
"What was an important finding from Lovelace's seventh note?",
]

# Questions that are not fully covered in the article


medium_questions = [
"Did Lovelace collaborate with Charles Dickens",
"What concepts did Lovelace build with Charles Babbage",
]

Now, what we can do is ask the model to respond to the question, but then also evaluate its
response. Specifically, we will ask the model to output a boolean
has_sufficient_context_for_answer . We can then evaluate the logprobs to see just how
confident the model is that its answer was contained in the provided context
PROMPT = """You retrieved this article: {article}. The question is: {question}.
Before even answering the question, consider whether you have sufficient information in the article t

html_output = ""
html_output += "Questions clearly answered in article"

for question in easy_questions:


API_RESPONSE = get_completion(
[
{
"role": "user",

article=ada_lovelace_article, question=question
),
}
],
model="gpt-4",
logprobs=True,
)
html_output += f'<p style="color:green">Question: {question}</p>'
for logprob in API_RESPONSE.choices[0].logprobs.content:
html_output += f'<p style="color:cyan">has_sufficient_context_for_answer: {logprob.token}, <s

html_output += "Questions only partially covered in the article"

for question in medium_questions:


API_RESPONSE = get_completion(
[

),
}
],

top_logprobs=3,
)
html_output += f'<p style="color:green">Question: {question}</p>'
for logprob in API_RESPONSE.choices[0].logprobs.content:
html_output += f'<p style="color:cyan">has_sufficient_context_for_answer: {logprob.token}, <s

display(HTML(html_output))

Questions clearly answered in article


Question: What nationality was Ada Lovelace?

has_sufficient_context_for_answer: True, logprobs: -3.1281633e-07, linear probability:


100.0%
Question: What was an important finding from Lovelace's seventh note?

has_sufficient_context_for_answer: True, logprobs: -7.89631e-07, linear probability: 100.0%

Questions only partially covered in the article

Question: Did Lovelace collaborate with Charles Dickens

has_sufficient_context_for_answer: True, logprobs: -0.06993677, linear probability: 93.25%

Question: What concepts did Lovelace build with Charles Babbage

has_sufficient_context_for_answer: False, logprobs: -0.61807257, linear probability: 53.9%

For the first two questions, our model asserts with (near) 100% confidence that the article has
sufficient context to answer the posed questions. On the other hand, for the more tricky
questions which are less clearly answered in the article, the model is less confident that it has
sufficient context. This is a great guardrail to help ensure our retrieved content is sufficient. This
self-evaluation can help reduce hallucinations, as you can restrict answers or re-prompt the user
when your sufficient_context_for_answer log probability is below a certain threshold.
Methods like this have been shown to significantly reduce RAG for Q&A hallucinations and
errors (Example)

3. Autocomplete

Another use case for logprobs are autocomplete systems. Without creating the entire
autocomplete system end-to-end, let's demonstrate how logprobs could help us decide how
to suggest words as a user is typing.

First, let's come up with a sample sentence: "My least favorite TV show is Breaking Bad."
Let's say we want it to dynamically recommend the next word or token as we are typing the
sentence, but only if the model is quite sure of what the next word will be. To demonstrate this,
let's break up the sentence into sequential components.

sentence_list = [
"My",
"My least",
"My least favorite",
"My least favorite TV",
"My least favorite TV show",
"My least favorite TV show is",
"My least favorite TV show is Breaking Bad",
]

Now, we can ask gpt-3.5-turbo to act as an autocomplete engine with whatever context the
model is given. We can enable logprobs and can see how confident the model is in its
prediction.

high_prob_completions = {}
low_prob_completions = {}
html_output = ""

for sentence in sentence_list:


PROMPT = """Complete this sentence. You are acting as auto-complete. Simply complete the sentence
API_RESPONSE = get_completion(
[{"role": "user", "content": PROMPT.format(sentence=sentence)}],
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
logprobs=True,
top_logprobs=3,
)
html_output += f'<p>Sentence: {sentence}</p>'
first_token = True
for token in API_RESPONSE.choices[0].logprobs.content[0].top_logprobs:
html_output += f'<p style="color:cyan">Predicted next token: {token.token}, <span style="colo
if first_token:
if np.exp(token.logprob) > 0.95:
high_prob_completions[sentence] = token.token
if np.exp(token.logprob) < 0.60:
low_prob_completions[sentence] = token.token
first_token = False
html_output += "<br>"

display(HTML(html_output))

Sentence: My

Predicted next token: favorite, logprobs: -0.18245785, linear probability: 83.32%

Predicted next token: dog, logprobs: -2.397172, linear probability: 9.1%

Predicted next token: ap, logprobs: -3.8732424, linear probability: 2.08%

Sentence: My least

Predicted next token: favorite, logprobs: -0.0146376295, linear probability: 98.55%

Predicted next token: My, logprobs: -4.2417912, linear probability: 1.44%

Predicted next token: favorite, logprobs: -9.748788, linear probability: 0.01%

Sentence: My least favorite


Predicted next token: food, logprobs: -0.9481721, linear probability: 38.74%

Predicted next token: My, logprobs: -1.3447137, linear probability: 26.06%

Predicted next token: color, logprobs: -1.3887696, linear probability: 24.94%

Let's look at the high confidence autocompletions:

high_prob_completions

{'My least': 'favorite', 'My least favorite TV': 'show'}

These look reasonable! We can feel confident in those suggestions. It's pretty likely you want to
write 'show' after writing 'My least favorite TV'! Now let's look at the autocompletion
suggestions the model was less confident about:

low_prob_completions

{'My least favorite': 'food', 'My least favorite TV show is': '"My'}

These are logical as well. It's pretty unclear what the user is going to say with just the prefix 'my
least favorite', and it's really anyone's guess what the author's favorite TV show is. So, using
gpt-3.5-turbo , we can create the root of a dynamic autocompletion engine with logprobs !

4. Highlighter and bytes parameter

Let's quickly touch on creating a simple token highlighter with logprobs , and using the bytes
parameter. First, we can create a function that counts and highlights each token. While this
doesn't use the log probabilities, it uses the built in tokenization that comes with enabling
logprobs .
PROMPT = """What's the longest word in the English language?"""

API_RESPONSE = get_completion(
[{"role": "user", "content": PROMPT}], model="gpt-4", logprobs=True, top_logprobs=5
)

def highlight_text(api_response):
colors = [
"#FF00FF", # Magenta
"#008000", # Green
"#FF8C00", # Dark Orange
"#FF0000", # Red
"#0000FF", # Blue
]
tokens = api_response.choices[0].logprobs.content

color_idx = 0 # Initialize color index


html_output = "" # Initialize HTML output
for t in tokens:
token_str = bytes(t.bytes).decode("utf-8") # Decode bytes to string

# Add colored token to HTML output


html_output += f"<span style='color: {colors[color_idx]}'>{token_str}</span>"

# Move to the next color


color_idx = (color_idx + 1) % len(colors)
display(HTML(html_output)) # Display HTML output
print(f"Total number of tokens: {len(tokens)}")

highlight_text(API_RESPONSE)

The longest word in the English language, according to the Guinness World Records, is
'pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis'. It is a type of lung disease caused by
inhaling ash and sand dust.

Total number of tokens: 51

Next, let's reconstruct a sentence using the bytes parameter. With logprobs enabled, we are
given both each token and the ASCII (decimal utf-8) values of the token string. These ASCII
values can be helpful when handling tokens of or containing emojis or special characters.

PROMPT = """Output the blue heart emoji and its name."""


API_RESPONSE = get_completion(
[{"role": "user", "content": PROMPT}], model="gpt-4", logprobs=True
)
aggregated_bytes = []
joint_logprob = 0.0

# Iterate over tokens, aggregate bytes and calculate joint logprob


for token in API_RESPONSE.choices[0].logprobs.content:
print("Token:", token.token)
print("Log prob:", token.logprob)
print("Linear prob:", np.round(exp(token.logprob) * 100, 2), "%")
print("Bytes:", token.bytes, "\n")
aggregated_bytes += token.bytes
joint_logprob += token.logprob

# Decode the aggregated bytes to text


aggregated_text = bytes(aggregated_bytes).decode("utf-8")

# Assert that the decoded text is the same as the message content
assert API_RESPONSE.choices[0].message.content == aggregated_text

# Print the results


print("Bytes array:", aggregated_bytes)
print(f"Decoded bytes: {aggregated_text}")
print("Joint prob:", np.round(exp(joint_logprob) * 100, 2), "%")

Token: \xf0\x9f\x92

Here, we see that while the first token was \xf0\x9f\x92' , we can get its ASCII value and
append it to a bytes array. Then, we can easily decode this array into a full sentence, and
validate with our assert statement that the decoded bytes is the same as our completion
message!

Additionally, we can get the joint probability of the entire completion, which is the
exponentiated product of each token's log probability. This gives us how likely this given
completion is given the prompt. Since, our prompt is quite directive (asking for a certain emoji
and its name), the joint probability of this output is high! If we ask for a random output
however, we'll see a much lower joint probability. This can also be a good tactic for developers
during prompt engineering.

5. Conclusion

Nice! We were able to use the logprobs parameter to build a more robust classifier, evaluate
our retrieval for Q&A system, and encode and decode each 'byte' of our tokens! logprobs
adds useful information and signal to our completions output, and we are excited to see how
developers incorporate it to improve applications.

6. Possible extensions

There are many other use cases for logprobs that are not covered in this cookbook. We can
use logprobs for:

Evaluations (e.g.: calculate perplexity of outputs, which is the evaluation metric of


uncertainty or surprise of the model at its outcomes)

Moderation

Keyword selection

Improve prompts and interpretability of outputs

Token healing

Creating slides with the Assistants API and


DALL-E3
James Hills
Open in Github
Dec 7, 2023

This notebook illustrates the use of the new Assistants API (GPT-4), and DALL·E-3 in crafting
informative and visually appealing slides. Creating slides is a pivotal aspect of many jobs, but
can be laborious and time-consuming. Additionally, extracting insights from data and
articulating them effectively on slides can be challenging. This cookbook recipe will
demonstrate how you can utilize the new Assistants API to faciliate the end to end slide creation
process for you without you having to touch Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides, saving you
valuable time and effort!

0. Setup

from IPython.display import display, Image


from openai import OpenAI

'thread_id': thread.id,

}
if file_ids:
params['file_ids']=file_ids

thread_id=thread.id,
assistant_id=assistant_id,
)

def get_response(thread):
return client.beta.threads.messages.list(thread_id=thread.id)

1. Creating the content

In this recipe, we will be creating a brief fictional presentation for the quarterly financial review
of our company, NotReal Corporation. We want to highlight some key trends we are seeing that
are affecting the profitability of our company. Let's say we have the some financial data at our
disposal. Let's load in the data, and take a look...

financial_data_path = 'data/NotRealCorp_financial_data.json'
financial_data = pd.read_json(financial_data_path)
financial_data.head(5)

Year Quarter Distribution channel Revenue ($M) Costs ($M) Customer count Time

0 2021 Q1 Online Sales 1.50 1.301953 150 2021 Q1

1 2021 Q1 Direct Sales 1.50 1.380809 151 2021 Q1

2 2021 Q1 Retail Partners 1.50 1.348246 152 2021 Q1

3 2021 Q2 Online Sales 1.52 1.308608 152 2021 Q2

4 2021 Q2 Direct Sales 1.52 1.413305 153 2021 Q2

As you can see, this data has quarterly revenue, costs and customer data across different
distribution channels. Let's create an Assistant that can act as a personal analyst and make a
nice visualization for our PowerPoint!

First, we need to upload our file so our Assistant can access it.
file = client.files.create(
file=open('data/NotRealCorp_financial_data.json',"rb"),
purpose='assistants',
)

Now, we're ready to create our Assistant. We can instruct our assistant to act as a data scientist,
and take any queries we give it and run the necessary code to output the proper data
visualization. The instructions parameter here is akin to system instructions in the
ChatCompletions endpoint, and can help guide the assistant. We can also turn on the tool of
Code Interpreter, so our Assistant will be able to code. Finally, we can specifiy any files we want
to use, which in this case is just the financial_data file we created above.

assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
instructions="You are a data scientist assistant. When given data and a query, write the proper cod
model="gpt-4-1106-preview",
tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}],
file_ids=[file.id]
)

Let's create a thread now, and as our first request ask the Assistant to calculate quarterly profits,
and then plot the profits by distribution channel over time. The assistant will automatically
calculate the profit for each quarter, and also create a new column combining quarter and year,
without us having to ask for that directly. We can also specify the colors of each line.

thread = client.beta.threads.create(
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Calculate profit (revenue minus cost) by quarter and year, and visualize as a line
"file_ids": [file.id]
}
]
)

No we can execute the run of our thread

run = client.beta.threads.runs.create(
thread_id=thread.id,
assistant_id=assistant.id,
)

We can now start a loop that will check if the image has been created. Note: This may take a few
minutes

messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(thread_id=thread.id)

import time

while True:
messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(thread_id=thread.id)
try:
#See if image has been created
messages.data[0].content[0].image_file
#Sleep to make sure run has completed
time.sleep(5)
print('Plot created!')
break
except:
time.sleep(10)
print('Assistant still working...')

Assistant still working...

Let's see the messages the Assistant added.

messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(thread_id=thread.id)
[message.content[0] for message in messages.data]
[MessageContentImageFile(image_file=ImageFile(file_id='file-0rKABLygI02MgwwhpgWdRFY1'), type='i

MessageContentText(text=Text(annotations=[], value="Before we can calculate profits and visual
MessageContentText(text=Text(annotations=[], value='Calculate profit (revenue minus cost) by q

We can see that the last message (latest message is shown first) from the assistant contains the
image file we are looking for. An interesting note here is that the Assistant was able to attempt
several times to parse the JSON data, as the first parsing was unsuccessful, demonstrating the
assistant's adaptability.

# Quick helper function to convert our output file to a png


def convert_file_to_png(file_id, write_path):
data = client.files.content(file_id)
data_bytes = data.read()
with open(write_path, "wb") as file:
file.write(data_bytes)

plot_file_id = messages.data[0].content[0].image_file.file_id
image_path = "../images/NotRealCorp_chart.png"
convert_file_to_png(plot_file_id,image_path)

#Upload
plot_file = client.files.create(
file=open(image_path, "rb"),
purpose='assistants'
)

Let's load in the plot!


Nice! So, with just one sentence, we were able to have our assistant use code interpreter to
calculate the profitability, and graph the three lineplots of the various distribution channels.
Now we have a nice visual for our slide, but we want some insights to go along with it.

2. Generating insights

To get insights from our image, we simply need to add a new message to our thread. Our
Assistant will know to use the message history to give us some concise takeaways from the
visual provided.

submit_message(assistant.id,thread,"Give me two medium length sentences (~20-30 words per sentence) o


most important insights from the plot you just created.\
These will be used for a slide deck, and they should be about the\
'so what' behind the data."
)

Run(id='run_NWoygMcBfHUr58fCE4Cn6rxN', assistant_id='asst_3T362kLlTyAq0FUnkvjjQczO', cancelled_

Now, once the run has completed, we can see the latest message
# Hard coded wait for a response, as the assistant may iterate on the bullets.
time.sleep(10)
response = get_response(thread)
bullet_points = response.data[0].content[0].text.value
print(bullet_points)

The plot reveals a consistent upward trend in profits for all distribution channels, indicating

Cool! So our assistant was able to identify the noteworthy growth in Online Sales profit, and
infer that this shows the importance of a large digital presence. Now let's get a compelling title
for the slide.

submit_message(assistant.id,thread,"Given the plot and bullet points you created,\


come up with a very brief title for a slide. It should reflect just the main insights you came up wi
)

Run(id='run_q6E85J31jCw3QkHpjJKl969P', assistant_id='asst_3T362kLlTyAq0FUnkvjjQczO', cancelled_

And the title is:

#Wait as assistant may take a few steps


time.sleep(10)
response = get_response(thread)
title = response.data[0].content[0].text.value
print(title)

"Ascending Profits & Digital Dominance"

3. DALL·E-3 title image

Nice, now we have a title, a plot and two bullet points. We're almost ready to put this all on a
slide, but as a final step, let's have DALL·E-3 come up with an image to use as the title slide of
the presentation. Note: DALL·E-3 is not yet available within the assistants API but is coming
soon! We'll feed in a brief description of our company (NotRealCorp) and have DALL·E-3 do the
rest!

company_summary = "NotReal Corp is a prominent hardware company that manufactures and sells processor

response = client.images.generate(
model='dall-e-3',
prompt=f"given this company summary {company_summary}, create an inspirational \
photo showing the growth and path forward. This will be used at a quarterly\
financial planning meeting",
size="1024x1024",
quality="hd",
n=1
)
image_url = response.data[0].url

Cool, now we can add this image to our thread. First, we can save the image locally, then upload
it to the assistants API using the File upload endpoint. Let's also take a look at our image

dalle_img_path = '../images/dalle_image.png'
img = requests.get(image_url)

#Save locally
with open(dalle_img_path,'wb') as file:
file.write(img.content)

#Upload
dalle_file = client.files.create(
file=open(dalle_img_path, "rb"),
purpose='assistants'
)
4. Creating the slides

We now have all the content we need to create the slides. While we could simply add a message
asking for slides, but let's instead give the assistant a slide template, using the python-pptx
library, to use. This will ensure we get a deck in the style we want. See the Extensions section
at the end of the notebook for notes on creating the template.

Let's look at the screenshots of the .pptx we just created using JUST the assistants API and
DALL·E-3. We don't have a seed parameter yet in the Assistants API, so the DALL·E-3 image and
wordings will be slightly different from what you see when you run this notebook, due to the
non-determinism of LLMs, but the outputs should be directionally the same.

The title slide:


And the data slide:
5. Conclusion

Woo! While these slides could use some formatting tweaks, we have made some great content
using the Assistants API, GPT-4 and DALL·E-3. We were able to take a .csv file with financial
data, and use our assisant to calculate profit by quarter across distribution channels, plot the
results, identify insights and key takeaways from the visualization, and create a summarative
title. And, given just a description of our company, NotRealCorp, we used DALL·E-3 to make an
awesome title image. While we are still a ways away from entirely automating this process
without a human in the loop, hopefully this notebook can make the slide creation process a bit
easier for you. More importantly, this notebook can ideally give you a glimpse into the potential
of the assistants API! We're excited to see what you build.

6. Extensions
When DALL·E-3 is incorporated in the Assistants API, we will have the ability to request the
generated title image within the thread.

GPT-4-Vision is not yet supported in the Assistants API, but could have been used to gather
insights from the line plot image.

GPT-4-Vision was used to generate the python-pptx template included in this recipe, so a
potential extension project could be demonstrating best practices around converting
images to slide templates.

Clustering for Transaction Classification


Colin Jarvis, Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Oct 19, 2022

This notebook covers use cases where your data is unlabelled but has features that can be used
to cluster them into meaningful categories. The challenge with clustering is making the features
that make those clusters stand out human-readable, and that is where we'll look to use GPT-3
to generate meaningful cluster descriptions for us. We can then use these to apply labels to a
previously unlabelled dataset.

To feed the model we use embeddings created using the approach displayed in the notebook
Multiclass classification for transactions Notebook, applied to the full 359 transactions in the
dataset to give us a bigger pool for learning

Conclusion

We now have five new clusters that we can use to describe our data. Looking at the visualisation
some of our clusters have some overlap and we'll need some tuning to get to the right place,
but already we can see that GPT-3 has made some effective inferences. In particular, it picked
up that items including legal deposits were related to literature archival, which is true but the
model was given no clues on. Very cool, and with some tuning we can create a base set of
clusters that we can then use with a multiclass classifier to generalise to other transactional
datasets we might use.

How to call functions with chat models


Colin Jarvis, Joe Palermo
Open in Github
Open Jun 12, 2023

This notebook covers how to use the Chat Completions API in combination with external
functions to extend the capabilities of GPT models.

tools is an optional parameter in the Chat Completion API which can be used to provide

function specifications. The purpose of this is to enable models to generate function arguments
which adhere to the provided specifications. Note that the API will not actually execute any
function calls. It is up to developers to execute function calls using model outputs.

Within the tools parameter, if the functions parameter is provided then by default the
model will decide when it is appropriate to use one of the functions. The API can be forced to
use a specific function by setting the tool_choice parameter to {"name": "<insert-function-
name>"} . The API can also be forced to not use any function by setting the tool_choice
parameter to "none" . If a function is used, the output will contain "finish_reason":
"function_call" in the response, as well as a tool_choice object that has the name of the
function and the generated function arguments.

Overview
This notebook contains the following 2 sections:

How to generate function arguments: Specify a set of functions and use the API to
generate function arguments.

How to call functions with model generated arguments: Close the loop by actually
executing functions with model generated arguments.

Utilities

First let's define a few utilities for making calls to the Chat Completions API and for maintaining
and keeping track of the conversation state.

@retry(wait=wait_random_exponential(multiplier=1, max=40), stop=stop_after_attempt(3))


def chat_completion_request(messages, tools=None, tool_choice=None, model=GPT_MODEL):
try:
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model=model,

tools=tools,
tool_choice=tool_choice,
)
return response
except Exception as e:

print(f"Exception: {e}")
return e

def pretty_print_conversation(messages):
role_to_color = {

"user": "green",
"assistant": "blue",
"function": "magenta",
}

for message in messages:


if message["role"] == "system":
print(colored(f"system: {message['content']}\n", role_to_color[message["role"]]))
elif message["role"] == "user":
print(colored(f"user: {message['content']}\n", role_to_color[message["role"]]))
elif message["role"] == "assistant" and message.get("function_call"):
print(colored(f"assistant: {message['function_call']}\n", role_to_color[message["role"]])
elif message["role"] == "assistant" and not message.get("function_call"):
print(colored(f"assistant: {message['content']}\n", role_to_color[message["role"]]))
elif message["role"] == "function":
print(colored(f"function ({message['name']}): {message['content']}\n", role_to_color[mess

Basic concepts

Let's create some function specifications to interface with a hypothetical weather API. We'll pass
these function specification to the Chat Completions API in order to generate function
arguments that adhere to the specification.

tools = [
{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "get_current_weather",
"description": "Get the current weather",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"location": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA",
},
"format": {
"type": "string",
"enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"],
"description": "The temperature unit to use. Infer this from the users locati
},
},
"required": ["location", "format"],
},
}
},
{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "get_n_day_weather_forecast",
"description": "Get an N-day weather forecast",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"location": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA",
},
"format": {
"type": "string",
"enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"],
"description": "The temperature unit to use. Infer this from the users locati
},
"num_days": {
"type": "integer",
"description": "The number of days to forecast",
}
},
"required": ["location", "format", "num_days"]
},
}
},
]

If we prompt the model about the current weather, it will respond with some clarifying
questions.

messages = []
messages.append({"role": "system", "content": "Don't make assumptions about what values to plug into
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like today"})
chat_response = chat_completion_request(
messages, tools=tools
)
assistant_message = chat_response.choices[0].message
messages.append(assistant_message)
assistant_message
ChatCompletionMessage(content='Sure, I can help you with that. Could you please provide me with

Once we provide the missing information, it will generate the appropriate function arguments
for us.

messages.append({"role": "user", "content": "I'm in Glasgow, Scotland."})


chat_response = chat_completion_request(
messages, tools=tools
)
assistant_message = chat_response.choices[0].message
messages.append(assistant_message)
assistant_message

ChatCompletionMessage(content=None, role='assistant', function_call=None, tool_calls=[ChatCompl

By prompting it differently, we can get it to target the other function we've told it about.

messages = []
messages.append({"role": "system", "content": "Don't make assumptions about what values to plug into
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": "what is the weather going to be like in Glasgow, Scotlan
chat_response = chat_completion_request(
messages, tools=tools
)
assistant_message = chat_response.choices[0].message
messages.append(assistant_message)
assistant_message

ChatCompletionMessage(content='Sure! Please provide the number of days you would like to know t

Once again, the model is asking us for clarification because it doesn't have enough information
yet. In this case it already knows the location for the forecast, but it needs to know how many
days are required in the forecast.

messages.append({"role": "user", "content": "5 days"})


chat_response = chat_completion_request(
messages, tools=tools
)
chat_response.choices[0]

Choice(finish_reason='tool_calls', index=0, logprobs=None, message=ChatCompletionMessage(conten

Forcing the use of specific functions or no function

We can force the model to use a specific function, for example get_n_day_weather_forecast by
using the function_call argument. By doing so, we force the model to make assumptions about
how to use it.

# in this cell we force the model to use get_n_day_weather_forecast


messages = []
messages.append({"role": "system", "content": "Don't make assumptions about what values to plug into
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": "Give me a weather report for Toronto, Canada."})
chat_response = chat_completion_request(
messages, tools=tools, tool_choice={"type": "function", "function": {"name": "get_n_day_weather_f
)
chat_response.choices[0].message

ChatCompletionMessage(content=None, role='assistant', function_call=None, tool_calls=[ChatCompl

# if we don't force the model to use get_n_day_weather_forecast it may not


messages = []
messages.append({"role": "system", "content": "Don't make assumptions about what values to plug into
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": "Give me a weather report for Toronto, Canada."})
chat_response = chat_completion_request(
messages, tools=tools
)
chat_response.choices[0].message

ChatCompletionMessage(content=None, role='assistant', function_call=None, tool_calls=[ChatCompl

We can also force the model to not use a function at all. By doing so we prevent it from
producing a proper function call.
messages = []
messages.append({"role": "system", "content": "Don't make assumptions about what values to plug into
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": "Give me the current weather (use Celcius) for Toronto, C
chat_response = chat_completion_request(
messages, tools=tools, tool_choice="none"
)
chat_response.choices[0].message

ChatCompletionMessage(content='{\n "location": "Toronto, Canada",\n "format": "celsius"\n}',

Parallel Function Calling

Newer models like gpt-4-1106-preview or gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 can call multiple functions in one
turn.

messages = []
messages.append({"role": "system", "content": "Don't make assumptions about what values to plug into
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": "what is the weather going to be like in San Francisco an
chat_response = chat_completion_request(
messages, tools=tools, model='gpt-3.5-turbo-1106'
)

assistant_message = chat_response.choices[0].message.tool_calls
assistant_message

[ChatCompletionMessageToolCall(id='call_q8k4geh0uGPRtIfOXYPB0yM8', function=Function(arguments=
ChatCompletionMessageToolCall(id='call_Hdl7Py7aLswCBPptrD4y5BD3', function=Function(arguments=

How to call functions with model generated arguments

In our next example, we'll demonstrate how to execute functions whose inputs are model-
generated, and use this to implement an agent that can answer questions for us about a
database. For simplicity we'll use the Chinook sample database.

Note: SQL generation can be high-risk in a production environment since models are not
perfectly reliable at generating correct SQL.

Specifying a function to execute SQL queries


First let's define some helpful utility functions to extract data from a SQLite database.

import sqlite3

conn = sqlite3.connect("data/Chinook.db")
print("Opened database successfully")

Opened database successfully

def get_table_names(conn):
"""Return a list of table names."""
table_names = []
tables = conn.execute("SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table';")
for table in tables.fetchall():
table_names.append(table[0])
return table_names

def get_column_names(conn, table_name):


"""Return a list of column names."""
column_names = []
columns = conn.execute(f"PRAGMA table_info('{table_name}');").fetchall()
for col in columns:
column_names.append(col[1])
return column_names

def get_database_info(conn):
"""Return a list of dicts containing the table name and columns for each table in the database.""
table_dicts = []
for table_name in get_table_names(conn):
columns_names = get_column_names(conn, table_name)
table_dicts.append({"table_name": table_name, "column_names": columns_names})
return table_dicts

Now can use these utility functions to extract a representation of the database schema.

database_schema_dict = get_database_info(conn)
database_schema_string = "\n".join(
[
f"Table: {table['table_name']}\nColumns: {', '.join(table['column_names'])}"
for table in database_schema_dict
]
)
As before, we'll define a function specification for the function we'd like the API to generate
arguments for. Notice that we are inserting the database schema into the function specification.
This will be important for the model to know about.

tools = [
{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "ask_database",
"description": "Use this function to answer user questions about music. Input should be a
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": f"""
SQL query extracting info to answer the user's question.
SQL should be written using this database schema:
{database_schema_string}
The query should be returned in plain text, not in JSON.
""",
}
},
"required": ["query"],
},
}
}
]

Executing SQL queries

Now let's implement the function that will actually excute queries against the database.

def ask_database(conn, query):


"""Function to query SQLite database with a provided SQL query."""
try:
results = str(conn.execute(query).fetchall())
except Exception as e:
results = f"query failed with error: {e}"
return results

def execute_function_call(message):
if message.tool_calls[0].function.name == "ask_database":
query = json.loads(message.tool_calls[0].function.arguments)["query"]
results = ask_database(conn, query)
else:
results = f"Error: function {message.tool_calls[0].function.name} does not exist"
return results
messages = []
messages.append({"role": "system", "content": "Answer user questions by generating SQL queries agains
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": "Hi, who are the top 5 artists by number of tracks?"})
chat_response = chat_completion_request(messages, tools)
assistant_message = chat_response.choices[0].message
assistant_message.content = str(assistant_message.tool_calls[0].function)
messages.append({"role": assistant_message.role, "content": assistant_message.content})
if assistant_message.tool_calls:
results = execute_function_call(assistant_message)
messages.append({"role": "function", "tool_call_id": assistant_message.tool_calls[0].id, "name":
pretty_print_conversation(messages)

system: Answer user questions by generating SQL queries against the Chinook Music Database

user: Hi, who are the top 5 artists by number of tracks?

assistant: Function(arguments='{\n "query": "SELECT artist.Name, COUNT(track.TrackId) AS

function (ask_database): [('Iron Maiden', 213), ('U2', 135), ('Led Zeppelin', 114), ('Meta


messages.append({"role": "user", "content": "What is the name of the album with the most tracks?"})
chat_response = chat_completion_request(messages, tools)
assistant_message = chat_response.choices[0].message
assistant_message.content = str(assistant_message.tool_calls[0].function)
messages.append({"role": assistant_message.role, "content": assistant_message.content})
if assistant_message.tool_calls:
results = execute_function_call(assistant_message)
messages.append({"role": "function", "tool_call_id": assistant_message.tool_calls[0].id, "name":
pretty_print_conversation(messages)

system: Answer user questions by generating SQL queries against the Chinook Music Database

user: Hi, who are the top 5 artists by number of tracks?

assistant: Function(arguments='{\n "query": "SELECT artist.Name, COUNT(track.TrackId) AS

function (ask_database): [('Iron Maiden', 213), ('U2', 135), ('Led Zeppelin', 114), ('Meta

Question answering using embeddings-based


search
Ted Sanders, Mike Heaton
Open in Github
Jun 9, 2022

GPT excels at answering questions, but only on topics it remembers from its training data.

What should you do if you want GPT to answer questions about unfamiliar topics? E.g.,

Recent events after Sep 2021

Your non-public documents

Information from past conversations

etc.

This notebook demonstrates a two-step Search-Ask method for enabling GPT to answer
questions using a library of reference text.

1. Search: search your library of text for relevant text sections

2. Ask: insert the retrieved text sections into a message to GPT and ask it the question

Why search is better than fine-tuning

GPT can learn knowledge in two ways:

Via model weights (i.e., fine-tune the model on a training set)

Via model inputs (i.e., insert the knowledge into an input message)

Although fine-tuning can feel like the more natural option—training on data is how GPT learned
all of its other knowledge, after all—we generally do not recommend it as a way to teach the
model knowledge. Fine-tuning is better suited to teaching specialized tasks or styles, and is less
reliable for factual recall.

As an analogy, model weights are like long-term memory. When you fine-tune a model, it's like
studying for an exam a week away. When the exam arrives, the model may forget details, or
misremember facts it never read.

In contrast, message inputs are like short-term memory. When you insert knowledge into a
message, it's like taking an exam with open notes. With notes in hand, the model is more likely
to arrive at correct answers.

One downside of text search relative to fine-tuning is that each model is limited by a maximum
amount of text it can read at once:

Model Maximum text length

gpt-3.5-turbo 4,096 tokens (~5 pages)

gpt-4 8,192 tokens (~10 pages)

gpt-4-32k 32,768 tokens (~40 pages)

(New model is available with longer contexts, gpt-4-1106-preview have 128K context window)

Continuing the analogy, you can think of the model like a student who can only look at a few
pages of notes at a time, despite potentially having shelves of textbooks to draw upon.

Therefore, to build a system capable of drawing upon large quantities of text to answer
questions, we recommend using a Search-Ask approach.

Search

Text can be searched in many ways. E.g.,

Lexical-based search

Graph-based search

Embedding-based search
This example notebook uses embedding-based search. Embeddings are simple to implement
and work especially well with questions, as questions often don't lexically overlap with their
answers.

Consider embeddings-only search as a starting point for your own system. Better search
systems might combine multiple search methods, along with features like popularity, recency,
user history, redundancy with prior search results, click rate data, etc. Q&A retrieval
performance may also be improved with techniques like HyDE, in which questions are first
transformed into hypothetical answers before being embedded. Similarly, GPT can also
potentially improve search results by automatically transforming questions into sets of
keywords or search terms.

Full procedure

Specifically, this notebook demonstrates the following procedure:

1. Prepare search data (once per document)

1. Collect: We'll download a few hundred Wikipedia articles about the 2022 Olympics

2. Chunk: Documents are split into short, mostly self-contained sections to be embedded

3. Embed: Each section is embedded with the OpenAI API

4. Store: Embeddings are saved (for large datasets, use a vector database)

2. Search (once per query)

1. Given a user question, generate an embedding for the query from the OpenAI API

2. Using the embeddings, rank the text sections by relevance to the query

3. Ask (once per query)

1. Insert the question and the most relevant sections into a message to GPT

2. Return GPT's answer

Costs
Because GPT is more expensive than embeddings search, a system with a decent volume of
queries will have its costs dominated by step 3.
For gpt-3.5-turbo using ~1,000 tokens per query, it costs ~$0.002 per query, or ~500
queries per dollar (as of Apr 2023)

For gpt-4 , again assuming ~1,000 tokens per query, it costs ~$0.03 per query, or ~30
queries per dollar (as of Apr 2023)

Of course, exact costs will depend on the system specifics and usage patterns.

Preamble

We'll begin by:

Importing the necessary libraries

Selecting models for embeddings search and question answering

# imports
import ast # for converting embeddings saved as strings back to arrays
from openai import OpenAI # for calling the OpenAI API
import pandas as pd # for storing text and embeddings data
import tiktoken # for counting tokens
import os # for getting API token from env variable OPENAI_API_KEY
from scipy import spatial # for calculating vector similarities for search

# models
EMBEDDING_MODEL = "text-embedding-ada-002"
GPT_MODEL = "gpt-3.5-turbo"

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

Troubleshooting: Installing libraries

If you need to install any of the libraries above, run pip install {library_name} in your
terminal.

For example, to install the openai library, run:

pip install openai

(You can also do this in a notebook cell with !pip install openai or %pip install openai .)
After installing, restart the notebook kernel so the libraries can be loaded.

Troubleshooting: Setting your API key

The OpenAI library will try to read your API key from the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.
If you haven't already, you can set this environment variable by following these instructions.

Motivating example: GPT cannot answer questions about current events

Because the training data for gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4 mostly ends in September 2021, the
models cannot answer questions about more recent events, such as the 2022 Winter Olympics.

For example, let's try asking 'Which athletes won the gold medal in curling in 2022?':

# an example question about the 2022 Olympics


query = 'Which athletes won the gold medal in curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics?'

response = client.chat.completions.create(
messages=[
{'role': 'system', 'content': 'You answer questions about the 2022 Winter Olympics.'},
{'role': 'user', 'content': query},
],
model=GPT_MODEL,
temperature=0,
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

As an AI language model, I don't have real-time data. However, I can provide you with general i

In this case, the model has no knowledge of 2022 and is unable to answer the question.

You can give GPT knowledge about a topic by inserting it into an input
message
To help give the model knowledge of curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics, we can copy and
paste the top half of a relevant Wikipedia article into our message:

# text copied and pasted from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curling_at_the_2022_Winter_Olympics


# I didn't bother to format or clean the text, but GPT will still understand it
# the entire article is too long for gpt-3.5-turbo, so I only included the top few sections

Thanks to the Wikipedia article included in the input message, GPT answers correctly.

In this particular case, GPT was intelligent enough to realize that the original question was
underspecified, as there were three curling gold medal events, not just one.

Of course, this example partly relied on human intelligence. We knew the question was about
curling, so we inserted a Wikipedia article on curling.

The rest of this notebook shows how to automate this knowledge insertion with embeddings-
based search.

1. Prepare search data

To save you the time & expense, we've prepared a pre-embedded dataset of a few hundred
Wikipedia articles about the 2022 Winter Olympics.

To see how we constructed this dataset, or to modify it yourself, see Embedding Wikipedia
articles for search.

# download pre-chunked text and pre-computed embeddings


# this file is ~200 MB, so may take a minute depending on your connection speed
embeddings_path = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/winter_olympics_2022.csv"
df = pd.read_csv(embeddings_path)

# convert embeddings from CSV str type back to list type


df['embedding'] = df['embedding'].apply(ast.literal_eval)

# the dataframe has two columns: "text" and "embedding"


df

2. Search

Now we'll define a search function that:

Takes a user query and a dataframe with text & embedding columns

Embeds the user query with the OpenAI API

Uses distance between query embedding and text embeddings to rank the texts

Returns two lists:


The top N texts, ranked by relevance

Their corresponding relevance scores

# search function
def strings_ranked_by_relatedness(
query: str,
df: pd.DataFrame,
relatedness_fn=lambda x, y: 1 - spatial.distance.cosine(x, y),
top_n: int = 100
) -> tuple[list[str], list[float]]:
"""Returns a list of strings and relatednesses, sorted from most related to least."""
query_embedding_response = client.embeddings.create(
model=EMBEDDING_MODEL,
input=query,
)
query_embedding = query_embedding_response.data[0].embedding
strings_and_relatednesses = [
(row["text"], relatedness_fn(query_embedding, row["embedding"]))
for i, row in df.iterrows()
]
strings_and_relatednesses.sort(key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
strings, relatednesses = zip(*strings_and_relatednesses)
return strings[:top_n], relatednesses[:top_n]

# examples
strings, relatednesses = strings_ranked_by_relatedness("curling gold medal", df, top_n=5)
for string, relatedness in zip(strings, relatednesses):
print(f"{relatedness=:.3f}")
display(string)

relatedness=0.879

'Curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics\n\n==Medal summary==\n\n===Medal table===\n\n{{Medals tabl

relatedness=0.872

relatedness=0.869
'Curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics\n\n==Results summary==\n\n===Mixed doubles tournament===\n

relatedness 0 868

3. Ask

With the search function above, we can now automatically retrieve relevant knowledge and
insert it into messages to GPT.

Below, we define a function ask that:

Takes a user query

Searches for text relevant to the query

Stuffs that text into a message for GPT

Sends the message to GPT

Returns GPT's answer

def num_tokens(text: str, model: str = GPT_MODEL) -> int:


"""Return the number of tokens in a string."""
encoding = tiktoken.encoding_for_model(model)
return len(encoding.encode(text))

def query_message(
query: str,
df: pd.DataFrame,
model: str,
token_budget: int
) -> str:
"""Return a message for GPT, with relevant source texts pulled from a dataframe."""
strings, relatednesses = strings_ranked_by_relatedness(query, df)
introduction = 'Use the below articles on the 2022 Winter Olympics to answer the subsequent quest
question = f"\n\nQuestion: {query}"
message = introduction
for string in strings:
next_article = f'\n\nWikipedia article section:\n"""\n{string}\n"""'
if (
num_tokens(message + next_article + question, model=model)
> token_budget
):
break
else:
message += next_article
return message + question
def ask(
query: str,
df: pd.DataFrame = df,
model: str = GPT_MODEL,
token_budget: int = 4096 - 500,
print_message: bool = False,
) -> str:
"""Answers a query using GPT and a dataframe of relevant texts and embeddings."""
message = query_message(query, df, model=model, token_budget=token_budget)
if print_message:
print(message)
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You answer questions about the 2022 Winter Olympics."},
{"role": "user", "content": message},
]
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model=model,
messages=messages,
temperature=0
)
response_message = response.choices[0].message.content
return response_message

Example questions

Finally, let's ask our system our original question about gold medal curlers:

ask('Which athletes won the gold medal in curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics?')

"In the men's curling tournament, the gold medal was won by the team from Sweden, consisting of

Despite gpt-3.5-turbo having no knowledge of the 2022 Winter Olympics, our search system
was able to retrieve reference text for the model to read, allowing it to correctly list the gold
medal winners in the Men's and Women's tournaments.

However, it still wasn't quite perfect—the model failed to list the gold medal winners from the
Mixed doubles event.

Troubleshooting wrong answers


To see whether a mistake is from a lack of relevant source text (i.e., failure of the search step) or
a lack of reasoning reliability (i.e., failure of the ask step), you can look at the text GPT was given
by setting print_message=True .

In this particular case, looking at the text below, it looks like the #1 article given to the model
did contain medalists for all three events, but the later results emphasized the Men's and
Women's tournaments, which may have distracted the model from giving a more complete
answer.

# set print_message=True to see the source text GPT was working off of
ask('Which athletes won the gold medal in curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics?', print_message=True)

Use the below articles on the 2022 Winter Olympics to answer the subsequent question. If the an

Wikipedia article section:

Knowing that this mistake was due to imperfect reasoning in the ask step, rather than imperfect
retrieval in the search step, let's focus on improving the ask step.

The easiest way to improve results is to use a more capable model, such as GPT-4 . Let's try it.
ask('Which athletes won the gold medal in curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics?', model="gpt-4")

"The athletes who won the gold medal in curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics are:\n\nMen's tourn

GPT-4 succeeds perfectly, correctly identifying all 12 gold medal winners in curling.

More examples

Below are a few more examples of the system in action. Feel free to try your own questions, and
see how it does. In general, search-based systems do best on questions that have a simple
lookup, and worst on questions that require multiple partial sources to be combined and
reasoned about.

Retrieval Augmentation for GPT-4 using
Pinecone

Fixing LLMs that Hallucinate

In this notebook we will learn how to query relevant contexts to our queries from Pinecone, and
pass these to a GPT-4 model to generate an answer backed by real data sources.

GPT-4 is a big step up from previous OpenAI completion models. It also exclusively uses the
ChatCompletion endpoint, so we must use it in a slightly different way to usual. However, the

power of the model makes the change worthwhile, particularly when augmented with an
external knowledge base like the Pinecone vector database.

Required installs for this notebook are:

!pip install -qU bs4 tiktoken openai langchain pinecone-client[grpc]

Preparing the Data

In this example, we will download the LangChain docs from langchain.readthedocs.io/. We get
all .html files located on the site like so:

!wget -r -A.html -P rtdocs https://python.langchain.com/en/latest/

<Response [200]>

This downloads all HTML into the rtdocs directory. Now we can use LangChain itself to
process these docs. We do this using the ReadTheDocsLoader like so:

from langchain.document_loaders import ReadTheDocsLoader

loader = ReadTheDocsLoader('rtdocs')
docs = loader.load()
len(docs)

.rst .pdf Welcome to LangChain Contents Getting Started Modules Use Cases Reference Docs LangCh

This leaves us with hundreds of processed doc pages. Let's take a look at the format each one
contains:

docs[0]

We access the plaintext page content like so:


print(docs[0].page_content)

print(docs[5].page_content)

We can also find the source of each document:

docs[5].metadata['source'].replace('rtdocs/', 'https://')

We can use these to create our data list:

data = []

for doc in docs:


data.append({
'url': doc.metadata['source'].replace('rtdocs/', 'https://'),
'text': doc.page_content
})

data[3]

{'url': 'https://langchain.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/memory/types/entity_summary_memory.
'text': '.ipynb .pdf Entity Memory Contents Using in a chain Inspecting the memory store Entit

Cookbook About API Docs Contribute

It's pretty ugly but it's good enough for now. Let's see how we can process all of these. We will
chunk everything into ~400 token chunks, we can do this easily with langchain and tiktoken :

import tiktoken

tokenizer = tiktoken.get_encoding('p50k_base')

# create the length function


def tiktoken_len(text):
tokens = tokenizer.encode(
text,
disallowed_special=()
)
return len(tokens)
from langchain.text_splitter import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter

text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter(
chunk_size=400,
chunk_overlap=20,
length_function=tiktoken_len,
separators=["\n\n", "\n", " ", ""]
)

Process the data into more chunks using this approach.

from uuid import uuid4


from tqdm.auto import tqdm

chunks = []

for idx, record in enumerate(tqdm(data)):


texts = text_splitter.split_text(record['text'])
chunks.extend([{
'id': str(uuid4()),
'text': texts[i],
'chunk': i,
'url': record['url']
} for i in range(len(texts))])

0%| | 0/231 [00:00<?, ?it/s]

Our chunks are ready so now we move onto embedding and indexing everything.

Initialize Embedding Model

We use text-embedding-3-small as the embedding model. We can embed text like so:

import openai

# initialize openai API key


openai.api_key = "sk-..."

embed_model = "text-embedding-3-small"

res = openai.Embedding.create(
input=[
"Sample document text goes here",
"there will be several phrases in each batch"
], engine=embed_model
)

In the response res we will find a JSON-like object containing our new embeddings within the
'data' field.

res.keys()

dict_keys(['object', 'data', 'model', 'usage'])

Inside 'data' we will find two records, one for each of the two sentences we just embedded.
Each vector embedding contains 1536 dimensions (the output dimensionality of the text-
embedding-3-small model.

len(res['data'])

len(res['data'][0]['embedding']), len(res['data'][1]['embedding'])

(1536, 1536)

We will apply this same embedding logic to the langchain docs dataset we've just scraped. But
before doing so we must create a place to store the embeddings.

Initializing the Index

Now we need a place to store these embeddings and enable a efficient vector search through
them all. To do that we use Pinecone, we can get a free API key and enter it below where we
will initialize our connection to Pinecone and create a new index.
import pinecone

index_name = 'gpt-4-langchain-docs'

# initialize connection to pinecone


pinecone.init(
api_key="PINECONE_API_KEY", # app.pinecone.io (console)
environment="PINECONE_ENVIRONMENT" # next to API key in console
)

# check if index already exists (it shouldn't if this is first time)


if index_name not in pinecone.list_indexes():
# if does not exist, create index
pinecone.create_index(
index_name,
dimension=len(res['data'][0]['embedding']),
metric='dotproduct'
)
# connect to index
index = pinecone.GRPCIndex(index_name)
# view index stats
index.describe_index_stats()

{'dimension': 1536,
'index_fullness': 0.0,
'namespaces': {},
'total_vector_count': 0}

We can see the index is currently empty with a total_vector_count of 0 . We can begin
populating it with OpenAI text-embedding-3-small built embeddings like so:

from tqdm.auto import tqdm


import datetime
from time import sleep

batch_size = 100 # how many embeddings we create and insert at once

for i in tqdm(range(0, len(chunks), batch_size)):


# find end of batch
i_end = min(len(chunks), i+batch_size)
meta_batch = chunks[i:i_end]
# get ids
ids_batch = [x['id'] for x in meta_batch]
# get texts to encode
texts = [x['text'] for x in meta_batch]
# create embeddings (try-except added to avoid RateLimitError)
try:
res = openai.Embedding.create(input=texts, engine=embed_model)
except:
done = False
while not done:
sleep(5)
try:
res = openai.Embedding.create(input=texts, engine=embed_model)
done = True
except:
pass
embeds = [record['embedding'] for record in res['data']]
# cleanup metadata
meta_batch = [{
'text': x['text'],
'chunk': x['chunk'],
'url': x['url']
} for x in meta_batch]
to_upsert = list(zip(ids_batch, embeds, meta_batch))
# upsert to Pinecone
index.upsert(vectors=to_upsert)

0%| | 0/12 [00:00<?, ?it/s]

Now we've added all of our langchain docs to the index. With that we can move on to retrieval
and then answer generation using GPT-4.

Retrieval

To search through our documents we first need to create a query vector xq . Using xq we will
retrieve the most relevant chunks from the LangChain docs, like so:

query = "how do I use the LLMChain in LangChain?"

res = openai.Embedding.create(
input=[query],

With retrieval complete, we move on to feeding these into GPT-4 to produce answers.

Retrieval Augmented Generation

GPT-4 is currently accessed via the ChatCompletions endpoint of OpenAI. To add the
information we retrieved into the model, we need to pass it into our user prompts alongside our
original query. We can do that like so:

# get list of retrieved text


contexts = [item['metadata']['text'] for item in res['matches']]

augmented_query = "\n\n---\n\n".join(contexts)+"\n\n-----\n\n"+query

print(augmented_query)

Now we ask the question:

# system message to 'prime' the model


primer = f"""You are Q&A bot. A highly intelligent system that answers
user questions based on the information provided by the user above
each question. If the information can not be found in the information
provided by the user you truthfully say "I don't know".
"""

res = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model="gpt-4",
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": primer},
{"role": "user", "content": augmented_query}
]
)

To display this response nicely, we will display it in markdown.

from IPython.display import Markdown

display(Markdown(res['choices'][0]['message']['content']))

<IPython.core.display.Markdown object>

Let's compare this to a non-augmented query...

res = openai.ChatCompletion.create(

Function-calling with an OpenAPI specification
Shyamal Anadkat, Simón Fishman
Open in Github
Oct 14, 2023

Much of the internet is powered by RESTful APIs. Giving GPT the ability to call them opens up a
world of possibilities. This notebook demonstrates how GPTs can be used to intelligently call
APIs. It leverages OpenAPI specifications and chained function calls.

The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) is a universally accepted standard for describing the details of
RESTful APIs in a format that machines can read and interpret. It enables both humans and
computers to understand the capabilities of a service, and it can be leveraged to show GPT how
to call APIs.

This notebook is divided into two main sections:

1. How to convert a sample OpenAPI specification into a list of function definitions for the
chat completions API.

2. How to use the chat completions API to intelligently invoke these functions based on user
instructions.

We recommend familiariazing yourself with function-calling before proceding.

How to convert an OpenAPI specification into function


definitions

The example OpenAPI spec we use here was created using gpt-4 . We will transform this
sample spec into a set of function definitions that can be supplied to the chat completion API.
The model, based on the provided user instructions, generates a JSON object containing the
necessary arguments to call these functions.

Before we proceed, let's inspect this generated spec. OpenAPI specs include details about the
API's endpoints, the operations they support, the parameters they accept, the requests they can
handle, and the responses they return. The spec is defined in JSON format.

The endpoints in the spec include operations for:

Listing all events

Creating a new event

Retrieving an event by ID

Deleting an event by ID

Updating an event name by ID

Each operation in the spec has an operationId , which we will use as the function name when
we parse the spec into function specifications. The spec also includes schemas that define the
data types and structures of the parameters for each
Aboutoperation.
Cookbook API Docs Contribute
You can see the schema here:

with open('./data/example_events_openapi.json', 'r') as f:


openapi_spec = jsonref.loads(f.read()) # it's important to load with jsonref, as explained below

display(openapi_spec)

required : True,
'schema': {'type': 'string'}}],
'responses': {'204': {'description': 'The event was deleted'}}},
'patch': {'summary': "Update an event's details by ID",
'operationId': 'updateEventDetails',
'parameters': [{'name': 'id',
'in': 'path',
'required': True,
'schema': {'type': 'string'}}],
'requestBody': {'required': True,
'content': {'application/json': {'schema': {'type': 'object',
'properties': {'name': {'type': 'string'},
'date': {'type': 'string', 'format': 'date-time'},
'location': {'type': 'string'}},
'required': ['name', 'date', 'location']}}}},
'responses': {'200': {'description': "The event's details were updated",
'content': {'application/json': {'schema': {'type': 'object',
'properties': {'id': {'type': 'string'},
'name': {'type': 'string'},
'date': {'type': 'string', 'format': 'date-time'},
'location': {'type': 'string'}},
'required': ['name', 'date', 'location']}}}}}}}},
'components': {'schemas': {'Event': {'type': 'object',
'properties': {'id': {'type': 'string'},
'name': {'type': 'string'},
'date': {'type': 'string', 'format': 'date-time'},
'location': {'type': 'string'}},
'required': ['name', 'date', 'location']}}}}

Now that we have a good understanding of the OpenAPI spec, we can proceed to parse it into
function specifications.

We can write a simple openapi_to_functions function to generate a list of definitions, where


each function is represented as a dictionary containing the following keys:

name : This corresponds to the operation identifier of the API endpoint as defined in the

OpenAPI specification.

description : This is a brief description or summary of the function, providing an overview

of what the function does.


parameters : This is a schema that defines the expected input parameters for the function.

It provides information about the type of each parameter, whether it is required or


optional, and other related details.

For each of the endpoints defined in the schema, we need to do the following:

1. Resolve JSON references: In an OpenAPI specification, it's common to use JSON references
(also known as $ref) to avoid duplication. These references point to definitions that are
used in multiple places. For example, if multiple API endpoints return the same object
structure, that structure can be defined once and then referenced wherever it's needed. We
need to resolve and replace these references with the content they point to.

2. Extract a name for the functions: We will simply use the operationId as the function name.
Alternatively, we could use the endpoint path and operation as the function name.

3. Extract a description and parameters: We will iterate through the description , summary ,
requestBody and parameters fields to populate the function's description and

parameters.

Here's the implementation:

def openapi_to_functions(openapi_spec):
functions = []

for path, methods in openapi_spec["paths"].items():


for method, spec_with_ref in methods.items():
# 1. Resolve JSON references.
spec = jsonref.replace_refs(spec_with_ref)

# 2. Extract a name for the functions.


function_name = spec.get("operationId")

# 3. Extract a description and parameters.


desc = spec.get("description") or spec.get("summary", "")

schema = {"type": "object", "properties": {}}

req_body = (
spec.get("requestBody", {})
.get("content", {})
.get("application/json", {})
.get("schema")
)
if req_body:
schema["properties"]["requestBody"] = req_body

params = spec.get("parameters", [])


if params:
param_properties = {
param["name"]: param["schema"]
for param in params
if "schema" in param
}
schema["properties"]["parameters"] = {
"type": "object",
"properties": param_properties,
}

functions.append(
{"type": "function", "function": {"name": function_name, "description": desc, "parame
)

return functions

functions = openapi_to_functions(openapi_spec)

for function in functions:


pp(function)
print()

{'type': 'function',
'function': {'name': 'listEvents',
'description': 'List all events',
'parameters': {'type': 'object', 'properties': {}}}}

{'type': 'function',
'function': {'name': 'createEvent',
'description': 'Create a new event',
'parameters': {'type': 'object',
'properties': {'requestBody': {'type': 'object',
'properties': {'id': {'type': 'stri
'name': {'type': 'st
'date': {'type': 'st

'location': {'type':
'required': ['name',
'date',
'location']}}}}}

{'type': 'function',
'function': {'name': 'getEventById',
'description': 'Retrieve an event by ID',

'properties': {'parameters': {'type': 'object',
'properties': {'id': {'type': 'strin

{'type': 'function',
'function': {'name': 'deleteEvent',
'description': 'Delete an event by ID'

How to call these functions with GPT


Now that we have these function definitions, we can leverage GPT to call them intelligently
based on user inputs.

It's important to note that the chat completions API does not execute the function; instead, it
generates the JSON that you can use to call the function in your own code.

For more information on function-calling, refer to our dedicated function-calling guide.

Conclusion

We have demonstrated how to convert OpenAPI specs into function specifications that can be
given to GPT for it to intelligently call them, and shown how these can be chained together to
perform complex operations.
Possible extensions of this system could include handling more complex user instructions that
require conditional logic or looping, integrating with real APIs to perform actual operations, and
improving error handling and validation to ensure the instructions are feasible and the function
calls are successful.

Fine-Tuned Q&A - Create Q&A


Ted Sanders, Boris Power
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

Note: To answer questions based on text documents, we recommend the procedure in Question
Answering using Embeddings. Some of the code below may rely on deprecated API endpoints.

2. Creating a synthetic Q&A dataset


We use davinci-instruct-beta-v3 , a model specialized in following instructions, to create
questions based on the given context. Then we also use davinci-instruct-beta-v3 to answer
those questions, given the same context.

This is expensive, and will also take a long time, as we call the davinci engine for each section.
You can simply download the final dataset instead.

We're using the dataset created using the previous notebook

2.1 Read in the data, and create a context

Create a context by concatenating the title, the heading and the content of that section

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('olympics-data/olympics_sections.csv')
df['context'] = df.title + "\n" + df.heading + "\n\n" + df.content
df.head()

2.2 Create questions based on the context

Use davinci-instruct to generate a number of plausible questions relating to the Wikipedia


section contents.

Note: We have used temperature=0, but it may be beneficial to experiment with a higher
temperature to get a higher diversity of questions.

WARNING: This step will last a long time, and consume a lot of tokens, as it calls davinci-instruct
for every section to generate a number of questions.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

def get_questions(context):
try:
response = client.chat.completions.create(model="davinci-instruct-beta-v3",
prompt=f"Write questions based on the text below\n\nText: {context}\n\nQuestions:\n1.",
temperature=0,
max_tokens=257,
top_p=1,
frequency_penalty=0,
presence_penalty=0,
stop=["\n\n"])
return response.choices[0].text
except:
return ""
df['questions']= df.context.apply(get_questions)
df['questions'] = "1." + df.questions
print(df[['questions']].values[0][0])

1. What is the 2020 Summer Olympics?


2. When did the 2020 Summer Olympics take place?
3. Who won the most medals at the 2020 Summer Olympics?
4. Who won the most gold medals at the 2020 Summer Olympics?
5. Who won the most medals at the 2020 Summer Olympics?

The prompt is designed to generate a number of questions. Example questions above were
generated based on the summary section of the 2020 Summer Olympics page.

We can observe that the questions 3 and 5 above repeat. Sometimes the generated questions
could be ambiguous without the context. We will show that even despite these limitations we
can create a successful model.

print(df.content.values[0])

Tokyo was selected as the host city during the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on
New events were introduced in existing sports for 2020, including 3x3 basketball, freestyle BMX

2.3 Create answers based on the context

Use davinci-instruct to answer the questions given the relevant Wikipedia section contents

Note: We have used temperature=0, but it may be beneficial to experiment with a higher
temperature to get a higher diversity of questions.

WARNING: This step will last a long time, and consume a lot of tokens, as it calls davinci-
instruct for every section to answer all the questions.

def get_answers(row):
try:
response = client.chat.completions.create(
engine="davinci-instruct-beta-v3",
prompt=f"Write answer based on the text below\n\nText: {row.context}\n\nQuestions:\n{row
temperature=0,
max_tokens=257,
top_p=1,
frequency_penalty=0,
presence_penalty=0
)
return response.choices[0].text
except Exception as e:
print (e)
return ""

df['answers']= df.apply(get_answers, axis=1)


df['answers'] = "1." + df.answers
df = df.dropna().reset_index().drop('index',axis=1)
print(df[['answers']].values[0][0])

1. The 2020 Summer Olympics is an international multi-sport event held from 23 July to 8 August
2. The 2020 Summer Olympics took place from 23 July to 8 August 2021.
3. The United States topped the medal count by both total golds (39) and total medals (113), wi
4. The United States topped the medal count by both total golds (39) and total medals (113), wi
5. The United States topped the medal count by both total golds (39) and total medals (113), wi

These are the answers to the questions above based on the context around the host city
selection.

We can see that answers 3-5 contain the correct answer, but instead of answering the question
directly, the answer is a verbatim extraction. Despite these occasional lower quality answers, we
will show that the model can learn the task reasonably well, given a high number of examples.

2.4 Save the Olympics Q&A dataset based on Wikipedia


sections

We save the file for use in the next notebook

df.to_csv('olympics-data/olympics_qa.csv', index=False)

2.5 Search file (DEPRECATED)

We create a search file (API reference), which can be used to retrieve the relevant context when
a question is asked.
DEPRECATED: The /search endpoint is deprecated in favour of using embeddings. Embeddings
are cheaper, faster and can support a better search experience. See Question Answering Guide
for a search implementation using the embeddings

df = df[df.tokens<2000]
df[['context', 'tokens']].rename(columns={'context':'text','tokens':'metadata'}).to_json('olympics-da

search_file = client.files.create(
file=open("olympics-data/olympics_search.jsonl"),
purpose='search'
)
olympics_search_fileid = search_file['id']

2.6 Answer questions based on the context provided

We will use a simple implementation of the answers endpoint. This works by simply using the
/search endpoint, which searches over an indexed file to obtain the relevant sections which can
be included in the context, following by a question and answering prompt given a specified
model.

from answers_with_ft import create_context, answer_question


print(create_context("Where did women's 4 x 100 metres relay event take place during the 2020 Summer

National Olympic Committees (NOCs) could qualify one relay team in one of three following ways:
The top 8 NOCs at the 2019 World Athletics Championships qualified a relay team.
The top 8 NOCs at the 2021 World Athletics Relays qualified a relay team.
Where an NOC placed in the top 8 at both the 2019 World Championships and the 2021 World Relays
The qualifying period was originally from 1 May 2019 to 29 June 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pande

answer_question(olympics_search_fileid, "davinci-instruct-beta-v3",
"Where did women's 4 x 100 metres relay event take place during the 2020 Summer Olympics?

' Japan National Stadium'

After we fine-tune the model for Q&A we'll be able to use it instead of davinci-instruct-beta-
v3 , to obtain better answers when the question can't be answered based on the context. We
see a downside of davinci-instruct-beta-v3 , which always attempts to answer the question,
regardless of the relevant context being present or not. (Note the second question is asking
about a future event, set in 2024.)

answer_question(olympics_search_fileid, "davinci-instruct-beta-v3",
"Where did women's 4 x 100 metres relay event take place during the 2048 Summer Olympics?

' Japan National Stadium'

We can see that davinci has a tendency to answer the question, even if the question can't be
answered given the context provided. Note the question asked regarding 2048 Summer
Olympics, which didn't happen yet, and the retrieved content has only returned results for 2020.

out_expanded['tokens'] = out_expanded.ada.apply(lambda x: x[1] if x != [] else -2)

within_2k = (out_expanded.tokens < 2000).mean()


print(f"{within_2k*100:.1f}% of relevant paragraphs are retrieved within the first 2k tokens")

74.3% of relevant paragraphs are retrieved within the first 2k tokens


The relevant context can be obtained 74% of the time on this dataset

outside_200 = (out_expanded['rank'] == -1).mean()


print(f"{outside_200*100:.1f}% of relevant paragraphs are not retrieved within the first 200 results"

7.4% of relevant paragraphs are not retrieved within the first 200 results

7.4% of the time, this is due to the keyword search part of the search algorithm not retrieving
the relevant context within the first 200 results. 18.3% of the time this is due to the semantic
search not placing the relevant context within the first 2000 tokens.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# plot a histogram, and add axis descriptions and title


out_expanded[(out_expanded['rank'] >=0)&(out_expanded['rank'] <30)]['rank'].hist(bins=29)
plt.xlabel('rank')

out_expanded[(out_expanded.tokens>=0)&(out_expanded.tokens < 2000)]['tokens'].hist(bins=29)


plt.xlabel('tokens')
plt.ylabel('count')
plt.title('Histogram of the number of minimum tokens needed')
plt.show()
We can observe that the context is most likely to be returned as one of the first results, and
most likely to be returned within the first 200-500 tokens.

How to build an agent with the Node.js SDK


Per Harald Borgen
Open in Github
Oct 4, 2023

OpenAI functions enable your app to take action based on user inputs. This means that it can,
e.g., search the web, send emails, or book tickets on behalf of your users, making it more
powerful than a regular chatbot.

In this tutorial, you will build an app that uses OpenAI functions along with the latest version of
the Node.js SDK. The app runs in the browser, so you only need a code editor and, e.g., VS Code
Live Server to follow along locally. Alternatively, write your code directly in the browser via this
code playground at Scrimba.

What you will build

Our app is a simple agent that helps you find activities in your area. It has access to two
functions, getLocation() and getCurrentWeather() , which means it can figure out where
you’re located and what the weather is at the moment.

At this point, it's important to understand that OpenAI doesn't execute any code for you. It just
tells your app which functions it should use in a given scenario, and then leaves it up to your
app to invoke them.

Once our agent knows your location and the weather, it'll use GPT’s internal knowledge to
suggest suitable local activities for you.

Importing the SDK and authenticating with OpenAI


We start by importing the OpenAI SDK at the top of our JavaScript file and authenticate with
our API key, which we have stored as an environment variable.

import OpenAI from "openai";

const openai = new OpenAI({


apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
dangerouslyAllowBrowser: true,
});

Since we're running our code in a browser environment at Scrimba, we also need to set
dangerouslyAllowBrowser: true to confirm we understand the risks involved with client-side

API requests. Please note that you should move these requests over to a Node server in a
production app.

Creating our two functions

Next, we'll create the two functions. The first one - getLocation - uses the IP API to get the
location of the user.

async function getLocation() {


const response = await fetch("https://ipapi.co/json/");
const locationData = await response.json();
return locationData;
}

The IP API returns a bunch of data about your location, including your latitude and longitude,
which we’ll use as arguments in the second function getCurrentWeather . It uses the Open
Meteo API to get the current weather data, like this:

async function getCurrentWeather(latitude, longitude) {


const url = `https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=${latitude}&longitude=${longitude}&h
const response = await fetch(url);
const weatherData = await response.json();
return weatherData;
}
Describing our functions for OpenAI

For OpenAI to understand the purpose of these functions, we need to describe them using a
specific schema. We'll create an array called tools that contains one object per function. Each
object will have two keys: type , function , and the function key has three subkeys: name ,
description , and parameters .

const tools = [
{
type: "function",
function: {
name: "getCurrentWeather",
description: "Get the current weather in a given location",
parameters: {
type: "object",
properties: {
latitude: {
type: "string",
},
longitude: {
type: "string",
},
},
required: ["longitude", "latitude"],
},
}
},
{
type: "function",
function: {
name: "getLocation",
description: "Get the user's location based on their IP address",
parameters: {
type: "object",
properties: {},
},
}
},
];

Setting up the messages array


We also need to define a messages array. This will keep track of all of the messages back and
forth between our app and OpenAI.

The first object in the array should always have the role property set to "system" , which tells
OpenAI that this is how we want it to behave.

const messages = [
{
role: "system",
content:
"You are a helpful assistant. Only use the functions you have been provided with.",
},
];

Creating the agent function

We are now ready to build the logic of our app, which lives in the agent function. It is
asynchronous and takes one argument: the userInput .

We start by pushing the userInput to the messages array. This time, we set the role to
"user" , so that OpenAI knows that this is the input from the user.

async function agent(userInput) {


messages.push({
role: "user",
content: userInput,
});
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
model: "gpt-4",
messages: messages,
tools: tools,
});
console.log(response);
}

Next, we'll send a request to the Chat completions endpoint via the
chat.completions.create() method in the Node SDK. This method takes a configuration

object as an argument. In it, we'll specify three properties:


model - Decides which AI model we want to use (in our case, GPT-4).

messages - The entire history of messages between the user and the AI up until this point.

tools - A list of tools the model may call. Currently, only functions are supported as a

tool., we'll we use the tools array we created earlier.

Running our app with a simple input

Let's try to run the agent with an input that requires a function call to give a suitable reply.

agent("Where am I located right now?");

When we run the code above, we see the response from OpenAI logged out to the console like
this:

{
id: "chatcmpl-84ojoEJtyGnR6jRHK2Dl4zTtwsa7O",
object: "chat.completion",
created: 1696159040,
model: "gpt-4-0613",
choices: [{
index: 0,
message: {
role: "assistant",
content: null,
tool_calls: [
id: "call_CBwbo9qoXUn1kTR5pPuv6vR1",
type: "function",
function: {
name: "getLocation",
arguments: "{}"
}
]
},
logprobs: null,
finish_reason: "tool_calls" // OpenAI wants us to call a function
}],
usage: {
prompt_tokens: 134,
completion_tokens: 6,
total_tokens: 140
}
system_fingerprint: null
}

This response tells us that we should call one of our functions, as it contains the following key:
finish_reason: "tool_calls" .

The name of the function can be found in the


response.choices[0].message.tool_calls[0].function.name key, which is set to

"getLocation" .

Turning the OpenAI response into a function call

Now that we have the name of the function as a string, we'll need to translate that into a
function call. To help us with that, we'll gather both of our functions in an object called
availableTools :

const availableTools = {
getCurrentWeather,
getLocation,
};

This is handy because we'll be able to access the getLocation function via bracket notation
and the string we got back from OpenAI, like this: availableTools["getLocation"] .

const { finish_reason, message } = response.choices[0];

if (finish_reason === "tool_calls" && message.tool_calls) {


const functionName = message.tool_calls[0].function.name;
const functionToCall = availableTools[functionName];
const functionArgs = JSON.parse(message.tool_calls[0].function.arguments);
const functionArgsArr = Object.values(functionArgs);
const functionResponse = await functionToCall.apply(null, functionArgsArr);
console.log(functionResponse);
}
We're also grabbing ahold of any arguments OpenAI wants us to pass into the function:
message.tool_calls[0].function.arguments . However, we won't need any arguments for this

first function call.

If we run the code again with the same input ( "Where am I located right now?" ), we'll see that
functionResponse is an object filled with location about where the user is located right now. In

my case, that is Oslo, Norway.

{ip: "193.212.60.170", network: "193.212.60.0/23", version: "IPv4", city: "Oslo", region: "Oslo Cou

We'll add this data to a new item in the messages array, where we also specify the name of the
function we called.

messages.push({
role: "function",
name: functionName,
content: `The result of the last function was this: ${JSON.stringify(
functionResponse
)}
`,
});

Notice that the role is set to "function" . This tells OpenAI that the content parameter
contains the result of the function call and not the input from the user.

At this point, we need to send a new request to OpenAI with this updated messages array.
However, we don’t want to hard code a new function call, as our agent might need to go back
and forth between itself and GPT several times until it has found the final answer for the user.

This can be solved in several different ways, e.g. recursion, a while-loop, or a for-loop. We'll use
a good old for-loop for the sake of simplicity.

Creating the loop


At the top of the agent function, we'll create a loop that lets us run the entire procedure up to
five times.

If we get back finish_reason: "tool_calls" from GPT, we'll just push the result of the
function call to the messages array and jump to the next iteration of the loop, triggering a new
request.

If we get finish_reason: "stop" back, then GPT has found a suitable answer, so we'll return
the function and cancel the loop.

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {


const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
model: "gpt-4",
messages: messages,
tools: tools,
});
const { finish_reason, message } = response.choices[0];

if (finish_reason === "tool_calls" && message.tool_calls) {


const functionName = message.tool_calls[0].function.name;
const functionToCall = availableTools[functionName];
const functionArgs = JSON.parse(message.tool_calls[0].function.arguments);
const functionArgsArr = Object.values(functionArgs);
const functionResponse = await functionToCall.apply(null, functionArgsArr);

messages.push({
role: "function",
name: functionName,
content: `
The result of the last function was this: ${JSON.stringify(
functionResponse
)}
`,
});
} else if (finish_reason === "stop") {
messages.push(message);
return message.content;
}
}
return "The maximum number of iterations has been met without a suitable answer. Please try again w
If we don't see a finish_reason: "stop" within our five iterations, we'll return a message
saying we couldn’t find a suitable answer.

Running the final app

At this point, we are ready to try our app! I'll ask the agent to suggest some activities based on
my location and the current weather.

const response = await agent(


"Please suggest some activities based on my location and the current weather."
);
console.log(response);

Here's what we see in the console (formatted to make it easier to read):

Based on your current location in Oslo, Norway and the weather (15°C and snowy),
here are some activity suggestions:

1. A visit to the Oslo Winter Park for skiing or snowboarding.


2. Enjoy a cosy day at a local café or restaurant.
3. Visit one of Oslo's many museums. The Fram Museum or Viking Ship Museum offer interesting insigh
4. Take a stroll in the snowy streets and enjoy the beautiful winter landscape.
5. Enjoy a nice book by the fireplace in a local library.
6. Take a fjord sightseeing cruise to enjoy the snowy landscapes.

Always remember to bundle up and stay warm. Enjoy your day!

If we peak under the hood, and log out response.choices[0].message in each iteration of the
loop, we'll see that GPT has instructed us to use both our functions before coming up with an
answer.

First, it tells us to call the getLocation function. Then it tells us to call the getCurrentWeather
function with "longitude": "10.859", "latitude": "59.955" passed in as the arguments. This
is data it got back from the first function call we did.

{"role":"assistant","content":null,"tool_calls":[{"id":"call_Cn1KH8mtHQ2AMbyNwNJTweEP","type":"func
{"role":"assistant","content":null,"tool_calls":[{"id":"call_uc1oozJfGTvYEfIzzcsfXfOl","type":"func

You've now built an AI agent using OpenAI functions and the Node.js SDK! If you're looking for
an extra challenge, consider enhancing this app. For example, you could add a function that
fetches up-to-date information on events and activities in the user's location.

Happy coding!

Using Weaviate with Generative OpenAI


module for Generative Search
Sebastian Witalec
Open in Github
May 21, 2023

This notebook is prepared for a scenario where:

Your data is already in Weaviate

You want to use Weaviate with the Generative OpenAI module (generative-openai).

Prerequisites

This cookbook only coveres Generative Search examples, however, it doesn't cover the
configuration and data imports.

In order to make the most of this cookbook, please complete the Getting Started cookbook
first, where you will learn the essentials of working with Weaviate and import the demo data.

Checklist:

completed Getting Started cookbook,

crated a Weaviate instance,

imported data into your Weaviate instance,

you have an OpenAI API key

===========================================================

Prepare your OpenAI API key


The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of your data at import, and for running queries.

If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY .

# Export OpenAI API Key


!export OPENAI_API_KEY="your key"

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for
import os

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = 'your-key-goes-here'

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


print ("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print ("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

Connect to your Weaviate instance

In this section, we will:

1. test env variable OPENAI_API_KEY – make sure you completed the step in #Prepare-your-
OpenAI-API-key

2. connect to your Weaviate with your OpenAI API Key

3. and test the client connection

The client

After this step, the client object will be used to perform all Weaviate-related operations.

import weaviate
from datasets import load_dataset
import os

# Connect to your Weaviate instance


client = weaviate.Client(
url="https://your-wcs-instance-name.weaviate.network/",
# url="http://localhost:8080/",
auth_client_secret=weaviate.auth.AuthApiKey(api_key="<YOUR-WEAVIATE-API-KEY>"), # comment out thi
additional_headers={
"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
}
)

# Check if your instance is live and ready


# This should return `True`
client.is_ready()

Generative Search

Weaviate offers a Generative Search OpenAI module, which generates responses based on the
data stored in your Weaviate instance.

The way you construct a generative search query is very similar to a standard semantic search
query in Weaviate.

For example:

search in "Articles",

return "title", "content", "url"

look for objects related to "football clubs"

limit results to 5 objects

result = (
client.query
.get("Articles", ["title", "content", "url"])
.with_near_text("concepts": "football clubs")
.with_limit(5)
# generative query will go here
.do()
)

Now, you can add with_generate() function to apply generative transformation.


with_generate takes either:
single_prompt - to generate a response for each returned object,

grouped_task – to generate a single response from all returned objects.

def generative_search_per_item(query, collection_name):


prompt = "Summarize in a short tweet the following content: {content}"

result = (
client.query
.get(collection_name, ["title", "content", "url"])
.with_near_text({ "concepts": [query], "distance": 0.7 })
.with_limit(5)
.with_generate(single_prompt=prompt)
.do()
)

# Check for errors


if ("errors" in result):
print ("\033[91mYou probably have run out of OpenAI API calls for the current minute – the li
raise Exception(result["errors"][0]['message'])

return result["data"]["Get"][collection_name]

query_result = generative_search_per_item("football clubs", "Article")

for i, article in enumerate(query_result):


print(f"{i+1}. { article['title']}")
print(article['_additional']['generate']['singleResult']) # print generated response
print("-----------------------")

def generative_search_group(query, collection_name):


generateTask = "Explain what these have in common"

result = (
client.query
.get(collection_name, ["title", "content", "url"])
.with_near_text({ "concepts": [query], "distance": 0.7 })
.with_generate(grouped_task=generateTask)
.with_limit(5)
.do()
)

# Check for errors


if ("errors" in result):
print ("\033[91mYou probably have run out of OpenAI API calls for the current minute – the li
raise Exception(result["errors"][0]['message'])

return result["data"]["Get"][collection_name]
query_result = generative_search_group("football clubs", "Article")

print (query_result[0]['_additional']['generate']['groupedResult'])

Thanks for following along, you're now equipped to set up your own vector databases and use
embeddings to do all kinds of cool things - enjoy! For more complex use cases please continue

Evaluate RAG with LlamaIndex


Ravi Theja
Open in Github
Nov 5, 2023

In this notebook we will look into building an RAG pipeline and evaluating it with LlamaIndex. It
has following 3 sections.

1. Understanding Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

2. Building RAG with LlamaIndex.

3. Evaluating RAG with LlamaIndex.

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)

LLMs are trained on vast datasets, but these will not include your specific data. Retrieval-
Augmented Generation (RAG) addresses this by dynamically incorporating your data during the
generation process. This is done not by altering the training data of LLMs, but by allowing the
model to access and utilize your data in real-time to provide more tailored and contextually
relevant responses.

In RAG, your data is loaded and and prepared for queries or “indexed”. User queries act on the
index, which filters your data down to the most relevant context. This context and your query
then go to the LLM along with a prompt, and the LLM provides a response.

Even if what you’re building is a chatbot or an agent, you’ll want to know RAG techniques for
getting data into your application.
Stages within RAG

There are five key stages within RAG, which in turn will be a part of any larger application you
build. These are:

Loading: this refers to getting your data from where it lives – whether it’s text files, PDFs,
another website, a database, or an API – into your pipeline. LlamaHub provides hundreds of
connectors to choose from.

Indexing: this means creating a data structure that allows for querying the data. For LLMs this
nearly always means creating vector embeddings, numerical representations of the meaning of
your data, as well as numerous other metadata strategies to make it easy to accurately find
contextually relevant data.

Storing: Once your data is indexed, you will want to store your index, along with any other
metadata, to avoid the need to re-index it.

Querying: for any given indexing strategy there are many ways you can utilize LLMs and
LlamaIndex data structures to query, including sub-queries, multi-step queries and hybrid
strategies.
Evaluation: a critical step in any pipeline is checking how effective it is relative to other
strategies, or when you make changes. Evaluation provides objective measures of how accurate,
faithful and fast your responses to queries are.

Build RAG system.

Now that we have understood the significance of RAG system, let's build a simple RAG pipeline.

!pip install llama-index

# The nest_asyncio module enables the nesting of asynchronous functions within an already running asy
# This is necessary because Jupyter notebooks inherently operate in an asynchronous loop.
# By applying nest_asyncio, we can run additional async functions within this existing loop without c
import nest_asyncio

nest_asyncio.apply()

from llama_index.evaluation import generate_question_context_pairs


from llama_index import VectorStoreIndex, SimpleDirectoryReader, ServiceContext
from llama_index.node_parser import SimpleNodeParser
from llama_index.evaluation import generate_question_context_pairs
from llama_index.evaluation import RetrieverEvaluator
from llama_index.llms import OpenAI

import os
import pandas as pd

Set Your OpenAI API Key

os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'YOUR OPENAI API KEY'

Let's use Paul Graham Essay text for building RAG pipeline.

Download Data

Load Data and Build Index.

documents = SimpleDirectoryReader("./data/paul_graham/").load_data()

# Define an LLM
llm = OpenAI(model="gpt-4")

# Build index with a chunk_size of 512


node_parser = SimpleNodeParser.from_defaults(chunk_size=512)
nodes = node_parser.get_nodes_from_documents(documents)
vector_index = VectorStoreIndex(nodes)

Build a QueryEngine and start querying.

query_engine = vector_index.as_query_engine()

response_vector = query_engine.query("What did the author do growing up?")

Check response.

response_vector.response

'The author wrote short stories and worked on programming, specifically on an IBM 1401 computer

By default it retrieves two similar nodes/ chunks. You can modify that in
vector_index.as_query_engine(similarity_top_k=k) .

Let's check the text in each of these retrieved nodes.

# First retrieved node


response_vector.source_nodes[0].get_text()
'What I Worked On\n\nFebruary 2021\n\nBefore college the two main things I worked on, outside o

# Second retrieved node


response_vector.source_nodes[1].get_text()

"It felt like I was doing life right. I remember that because I was slightly dismayed at how no

We have built a RAG pipeline and now need to evaluate its performance. We can assess our RAG
system/query engine using LlamaIndex's core evaluation modules. Let's examine how to
leverage these tools to quantify the quality of our retrieval-augmented generation system.

Evaluation

Evaluation should serve as the primary metric for assessing your RAG application. It determines
whether the pipeline will produce accurate responses based on the data sources and a range of
queries.

While it's beneficial to examine individual queries and responses at the start, this approach may
become impractical as the volume of edge cases and failures increases. Instead, it may be more
effective to establish a suite of summary metrics or automated evaluations. These tools can
provide insights into overall system performance and indicate specific areas that may require
closer scrutiny.

In a RAG system, evaluation focuses on two critical aspects:

Retrieval Evaluation: This assesses the accuracy and relevance of the information retrieved
by the system.

Response Evaluation: This measures the quality and appropriateness of the responses
generated by the system based on the retrieved information.

Question-Context Pair Generation:


For the evaluation of a RAG system, it's essential to have queries that can fetch the correct
context and subsequently generate an appropriate response. LlamaIndex offers a
generate_question_context_pairs module specifically for crafting questions and context pairs

which can be used in the assessment of the RAG system of both Retrieval and Response
Evaluation. For more details on Question Generation, please refer to the documentation.

qa_dataset = generate_question_context_pairs(
nodes,
llm=llm,
num_questions_per_chunk=2
)

100%|██████████| 58/58 [06:26<00:00, 6.67s/it]

Retrieval Evaluation:

We are now prepared to conduct our retrieval evaluations. We will execute our
RetrieverEvaluator using the evaluation dataset we have generated.

We first create the Retriever and then define two functions: get_eval_results , which
operates our retriever on the dataset, and display_results , which presents the outcomes of
the evaluation.

Let's create the retriever.

retriever = vector_index.as_retriever(similarity_top_k=2)

Define RetrieverEvaluator . We use Hit Rate and MRR metrics to evaluate our Retriever.

Hit Rate:

Hit rate calculates the fraction of queries where the correct answer is found within the top-k
retrieved documents. In simpler terms, it’s about how often our system gets it right within the
top few guesses.

Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR):


For each query, MRR evaluates the system’s accuracy by looking at the rank of the highest-
placed relevant document. Specifically, it’s the average of the reciprocals of these ranks across
all the queries. So, if the first relevant document is the top result, the reciprocal rank is 1; if it’s
second, the reciprocal rank is 1/2, and so on.

Let's check these metrics to check the performance of out retriever.

retriever_evaluator = RetrieverEvaluator.from_metric_names(
["mrr", "hit_rate"], retriever=retriever
)

# Evaluate
eval_results = await retriever_evaluator.aevaluate_dataset(qa_dataset)

Let's define a function to display the Retrieval evaluation results in table format.

def display_results(name, eval_results):


"""Display results from evaluate."""

metric_dicts = []
for eval_result in eval_results:
metric_dict = eval_result.metric_vals_dict
metric_dicts.append(metric_dict)

full_df = pd.DataFrame(metric_dicts)

hit_rate = full_df["hit_rate"].mean()
mrr = full_df["mrr"].mean()

metric_df = pd.DataFrame(
{"Retriever Name": [name], "Hit Rate": [hit_rate], "MRR": [mrr]}
)

return metric_df

display_results("OpenAI Embedding Retriever", eval_results)


Retriever Name Hit Rate MRR

0 OpenAI Embedding Retriever 0.758621 0.62069

Observation:

The Retriever with OpenAI Embedding demonstrates a performance with a hit rate of 0.7586 ,
while the MRR, at 0.6206 , suggests there's room for improvement in ensuring the most
relevant results appear at the top. The observation that MRR is less than the hit rate indicates
that the top-ranking results aren't always the most relevant. Enhancing MRR could involve the
use of rerankers, which refine the order of retrieved documents. For a deeper understanding of
how rerankers can optimize retrieval metrics, refer to the detailed discussion in our blog post.

Response Evaluation:

1. FaithfulnessEvaluator: Measures if the response from a query engine matches any source
nodes which is useful for measuring if the response is hallucinated.

2. Relevancy Evaluator: Measures if the response + source nodes match the query.

# Get the list of queries from the above created dataset

queries = list(qa_dataset.queries.values())

Faithfulness Evaluator

Let's start with FaithfulnessEvaluator.

We will use gpt-3.5-turbo for generating response for a given query and gpt-4 for
evaluation.

Let's create service_context seperately for gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4 .

# gpt-3.5-turbo
gpt35 = OpenAI(temperature=0, model="gpt-3.5-turbo")
service_context_gpt35 = ServiceContext.from_defaults(llm=gpt35)
# gpt-4
gpt4 = OpenAI(temperature=0, model="gpt-4")
service_context_gpt4 = ServiceContext.from_defaults(llm=gpt4)

Create a QueryEngine with gpt-3.5-turbo service_context to generate response for the query.

vector_index = VectorStoreIndex(nodes, service_context = service_context_gpt35)


query_engine = vector_index.as_query_engine()

Create a FaithfulnessEvaluator.

from llama_index.evaluation import FaithfulnessEvaluator


faithfulness_gpt4 = FaithfulnessEvaluator(service_context=service_context_gpt4)

Let's evaluate on one question.

eval_query = queries[10]

eval_query

"Based on the author's experience and observations, why did he consider the AI practices during

Generate response first and use faithfull evaluator.

response_vector = query_engine.query(eval_query)

# Compute faithfulness evaluation

eval_result = faithfulness_gpt4.evaluate_response(response=response_vector)

# You can check passing parameter in eval_result if it passed the evaluation.


eval_result.passing
True

Relevancy Evaluator

RelevancyEvaluator is useful to measure if the response and source nodes (retrieved context)
match the query. Useful to see if response actually answers the query.

Instantiate RelevancyEvaluator for relevancy evaluation with gpt-4

from llama_index.evaluation import RelevancyEvaluator

relevancy_gpt4 = RelevancyEvaluator(service_context=service_context_gpt4)

Let's do relevancy evaluation for one of the query.

# Pick a query
query = queries[10]

query

"Based on the author's experience and observations, why did he consider the AI practices during

# Generate response.
# response_vector has response and source nodes (retrieved context)
response_vector = query_engine.query(query)

# Relevancy evaluation
eval_result = relevancy_gpt4.evaluate_response(
query=query, response=response_vector
)

# You can check passing parameter in eval_result if it passed the evaluation.


eval_result.passing

True
# You can get the feedback for the evaluation.
eval_result.feedback

'YES'

Batch Evaluator:

Now that we have done FaithFulness and Relevancy Evaluation independently. LlamaIndex has
BatchEvalRunner to compute multiple evaluations in batch wise manner.

from llama_index.evaluation import BatchEvalRunner

# Let's pick top 10 queries to do evaluation


batch_eval_queries = queries[:10]

# Initiate BatchEvalRunner to compute FaithFulness and Relevancy Evaluation.


runner = BatchEvalRunner(
{"faithfulness": faithfulness_gpt4, "relevancy": relevancy_gpt4},
workers=8,
)

# Compute evaluation
eval_results = await runner.aevaluate_queries(
query_engine, queries=batch_eval_queries
)

# Let's get faithfulness score

faithfulness_score = sum(result.passing for result in eval_results['faithfulness']) / len(eval_result

faithfulness_score

1.0

# Let's get relevancy score

relevancy_score = sum(result.passing for result in eval_results['relevancy']) / len(eval_results['rel

relevancy_score
1.0

Observation:

Faithfulness score of 1.0 signifies that the generated answers contain no hallucinations and are
entirely based on retrieved context.

Relevancy score of 1.0 suggests that the answers generated are consistently aligned with the
retrieved context and the queries.

Conclusion

In this notebook, we have explored how to build and evaluate a RAG pipeline using LlamaIndex,
with a specific focus on evaluating the retrieval system and generated responses within the
pipeline.

LlamaIndex offers a variety of other evaluation modules as well, which you can explore further

Using Weaviate with OpenAI vectorize module


for Embeddings Search
Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Feb 12, 2023

This notebook is prepared for a scenario where:

Your data is not vectorized

You want to run Vector Search on your data

You want to use Weaviate with the OpenAI module (text2vec-openai), to generate vector
embeddings for you.

This notebook takes you through a simple flow to set up a Weaviate instance, connect to it (with
OpenAI API key), configure data schema, import data (which will automatically generate vector
embeddings for your data), and run semantic search.

This is a common requirement for customers who want to store and search our embeddings
with their own data in a secure environment to support production use cases such as chatbots,
topic modelling and more.

What is Weaviate

Weaviate is an open-source vector search engine that stores data objects together with their
vectors. This allows for combining vector search with structured filtering.

Weaviate uses KNN algorithms to create an vector-optimized index, which allows your queries
to run extremely fast. Learn more here.

Weaviate let you use your favorite ML-models, and scale seamlessly into billions of data objects.
Deployment options

Whatever your scenario or production setup, Weaviate has an option for you. You can deploy
Weaviate in the following setups:

Self-hosted – you can deploy Weaviate with docker locally, or any server you want.

SaaS – you can use Weaviate Cloud Service (WCS) to host your Weaviate instances.

Hybrid-SaaS – you can deploy Weaviate in your own private Cloud Service.

Programming languages

Weaviate offers four client libraries, which allow you to communicate from your apps:

Python

JavaScript

Java

Go

Additionally, Weaviate has a REST layer. Basically you can call Weaviate from any language that
supports REST requests.

Demo Flow

The demo flow is:

Prerequisites Setup: Create a Weaviate instance and install the required libraries

Connect: Connect to your Weaviate instance

Schema Configuration: Configure the schema of your data

Note: Here we can define which OpenAI Embedding Model to use

Note: Here we can configure which properties to index

Import data: Load a demo dataset and import it into Weaviate

Note: The import process will automatically index your data - based on the
configuration in the schema
Note: You don't need to explicitly vectorize your data, Weaviate will communicate with
OpenAI to do it for you

Run Queries: Query

Note: You don't need to explicitly vectorize your queries, Weaviate will communicate
with OpenAI to do it for you

Once you've run through this notebook you should have a basic understanding of how to setup
and use vector databases, and can move on to more complex use cases making use of our
embeddings.

OpenAI Module in Weaviate

All Weaviate instances come equipped with the text2vec-openai module.

This module is responsible for handling vectorization during import (or any CRUD operations)
and when you run a query.

No need to manually vectorize data

This is great news for you. With text2vec-openai you don't need to manually vectorize your
data, as Weaviate will call OpenAI for you whenever necessary.

All you need to do is:

1. provide your OpenAI API Key – when you connected to the Weaviate Client

2. define which OpenAI vectorizer to use in your Schema

Prerequisites

Before we start this project, we need setup the following:

create a Weaviate instance

install libraries

weaviate-client
datasets

apache-beam

get your OpenAI API key

===========================================================

Create a Weaviate instance

To create a Weaviate instance we have 2 options:

1. (Recommended path) Weaviate Cloud Service – to host your Weaviate instance in the
cloud. The free sandbox should be more than enough for this cookbook.

2. Install and run Weaviate locally with Docker.

Option 1 – WCS Installation Steps

Use Weaviate Cloud Service (WCS) to create a free Weaviate cluster.

1. create a free account and/or login to WCS

2. create a Weaviate Cluster with the following settings:

Sandbox: Sandbox Free

Weaviate Version: Use default (latest)

OIDC Authentication: Disabled

3. your instance should be ready in a minute or two

4. make a note of the Cluster Id . The link will take you to the full path of your cluster (you
will need it later to connect to it). It should be something like: https://your-project-
name.weaviate.network

Option 2 – local Weaviate instance with Docker

Install and run Weaviate locally with Docker.

1. Download the ./docker-compose.yml file

2. Then open your terminal, navigate to where your docker-compose.yml file is located, and
start docker with: docker-compose up -d
3. Once this is ready, your instance should be available at http://localhost:8080

Note. To shut down your docker instance you can call: docker-compose down

Learn more

To learn more, about using Weaviate with Docker see the installation documentation.

===========================================================

Install required libraries

Before running this project make sure to have the following libraries:

Weaviate Python client


The Weaviate Python client allows you to communicate with your Weaviate instance from your
Python project.

datasets & apache-beam


To load sample data, you need the datasets library and its dependency apache-beam .

# Install the Weaviate client for Python


!pip install weaviate-client>=3.11.0

# Install datasets and apache-beam to load the sample datasets


!pip install datasets apache-beam

===========================================================

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of your data at import, and for running queries.
If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY .

# Export OpenAI API Key


!export OPENAI_API_KEY="your key"

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for
import os

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = 'your-key-goes-here'

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


print ("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print ("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

Connect to your Weaviate instance

In this section, we will:

1. test env variable OPENAI_API_KEY – make sure you completed the step in #Prepare-your-
OpenAI-API-key

2. connect to your Weaviate with your OpenAI API Key

3. and test the client connection

The client
After this step, the client object will be used to perform all Weaviate-related operations.

import weaviate
from datasets import load_dataset
import os

# Connect to your Weaviate instance


client = weaviate.Client(
url="https://your-wcs-instance-name.weaviate.network/",
# url="http://localhost:8080/",
auth_client_secret=weaviate.auth.AuthApiKey(api_key="<YOUR-WEAVIATE-API-KEY>"), # comment out thi
additional_headers={
"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
}
)

# Check if your instance is live and ready


# This should return `True`
client.is_ready()

Schema
In this section, we will:

1. configure the data schema for your data

2. select OpenAI module

“This is the second and final step, which requires OpenAI specific configuration. After this
step, the rest of instructions wlll only touch on Weaviate, as the OpenAI tasks will be
handled automatically.”

What is a schema

In Weaviate you create schemas to capture each of the entities you will be searching.

A schema is how you tell Weaviate:

what embedding model should be used to vectorize the data

what your data is made of (property names and types)

which properties should be vectorized and indexed

In this cookbook we will use a dataset for Articles , which contains:

title

content

url
We want to vectorize title and content , but not the url .

To vectorize and query the data, we will use text-embedding-3-small .

# Clear up the schema, so that we can recreate it


client.schema.delete_all()
client.schema.get()

# Define the Schema object to use `text-embedding-3-small` on `title` and `content`, but skip it for
article_schema = {
"class": "Article",
"description": "A collection of articles",
"vectorizer": "text2vec-openai",
"moduleConfig": {
"text2vec-openai": {
"model": "ada",
"modelVersion": "002",
"type": "text"
}
},
"properties": [{
"name": "title",
"description": "Title of the article",
"dataType": ["string"]
},
{
"name": "content",
"description": "Contents of the article",
"dataType": ["text"]
},
{
"name": "url",
"description": "URL to the article",
"dataType": ["string"],
"moduleConfig": { "text2vec-openai": { "skip": True } }
}]
}

# add the Article schema


client.schema.create_class(article_schema)

# get the schema to make sure it worked


client.schema.get()

Import data

In this section we will:

1. load the Simple Wikipedia dataset

2. configure Weaviate Batch import (to make the import more efficient)
3. import the data into Weaviate

“Note: Like mentioned before. We don't need to manually vectorize the data. The text2vec-
openai module will take care of that.”

### STEP 1 - load the dataset

from datasets import load_dataset


from typing import List, Iterator

# We'll use the datasets library to pull the Simple Wikipedia dataset for embedding
dataset = list(load_dataset("wikipedia", "20220301.simple")["train"])

# For testing, limited to 2.5k articles for demo purposes


dataset = dataset[:2_500]

# Limited to 25k articles for larger demo purposes


# dataset = dataset[:25_000]

# for free OpenAI acounts, you can use 50 objects


# dataset = dataset[:50]

### Step 2 - configure Weaviate Batch, with


# - starting batch size of 100
# - dynamically increase/decrease based on performance
# - add timeout retries if something goes wrong

client.batch.configure(
batch_size=10,
dynamic=True,
timeout_retries=3,
# callback=None,
)

### Step 3 - import data

print("Importing Articles")

counter=0

with client.batch as batch:


for article in dataset:
if (counter %10 == 0):
print(f"Import {counter} / {len(dataset)} ")

properties = {
"title": article["title"],
"content": article["text"],
"url": article["url"]
}
batch.add_data_object(properties, "Article")
counter = counter+1

print("Importing Articles complete")

# Test that all data has loaded – get object count


result = (
client.query.aggregate("Article")
.with_fields("meta { count }")
.do()
)
print("Object count: ", result["data"]["Aggregate"]["Article"], "\n")

# Test one article has worked by checking one object


test_article = (
client.query
.get("Article", ["title", "url", "content"])
.with_limit(1)
.do()
)["data"]["Get"]["Article"][0]

print(test_article['title'])
print(test_article['url'])
print(test_article['content'])

Search Data

As above, we'll fire some queries at our new Index and get back results based on the closeness
to our existing vectors

def query_weaviate(query, collection_name):

nearText = {
"concepts": [query],
"distance": 0.7,
}

properties = [
"title", "content", "url",
"_additional {certainty distance}"
]

result = (
client.query
.get(collection_name, properties)
.with_near_text(nearText)
.with_limit(10)
.do()
)
# Check for errors
if ("errors" in result):
print ("\033[91mYou probably have run out of OpenAI API calls for the current minute – the li
raise Exception(result["errors"][0]['message'])

return result["data"]["Get"][collection_name]

query_result = query_weaviate("modern art in Europe", "Article")

for i, article in enumerate(query_result):


print(f"{i+1}. { article['title']} (Score: {round(article['_additional']['certainty'],3) })")

query_result = query_weaviate("Famous battles in Scottish history", "Article")

for i, article in enumerate(query_result):


print(f"{i+1}. { article['title']} (Score: {round(article['_additional']['certainty'],3) })")

Thanks for following along, you're now equipped to set up your own vector databases and use
embeddings to do all kinds of cool things - enjoy! For more complex use cases please continue
to work through other cookbook examples in this repo.

RAG with a Graph database


katia-openai
Open in Github
Dec 7, 2023

This notebook shows how to use LLMs in combination with Neo4j, a graph database, to
perform Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

Why use RAG?


If you want to use LLMs to generate answers based on your own content or knowledge base,
instead of providing large context when prompting the model, you can fetch the relevant
information in a database and use this information to generate a response.

This allows you to:

Reduce hallucinations

Provide relevant, up to date information to your users

Leverage your own content/knowledge base

Why use a graph database?

If you have data where relationships between data points are important and you might want to
leverage that, then it might be worth considering graph databases instead of traditional
relational databases.

Graph databases are good to address the following:

Navigating deep hierarchies

Finding hidden connections between items

Discovering relationships between items


Use cases

Graph databases are particularly relevant for recommendation systems, network relationships or
analysing correlation between data points.

Example use cases for RAG with graph databases include:

Recommendation chatbot

AI-augmented CRM

Tool to analyse customer behavior with natural language

Depending on your use case, you can assess whether using a graph database makes sense.

In this notebook, we will build a product recommendation chatbot, with a graph database that
contains Amazon products data.

Setup

We will start by installing and importing the relevant libraries.

Make sure you have your OpenAI account set up and you have your OpenAI API key handy.

# Optional: run to install the libraries locally if you haven't already


!pip3 install langchain
!pip3 install openai
!pip3 install neo4j

import os
import json
import pandas as pd

# Optional: run to load environment variables from a .env file.


# This is not required if you have exported your env variables in another way or if you set it manual
!pip3 install python-dotenv
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

# Set the OpenAI API key env variable manually


# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "<your_api_key>"
# print(os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"])

Dataset

We will use a dataset that was created from a relational database and converted to a json
format, creating relationships between entities with the completions API.

We will then load this data into the graph db to be able to query it.

Loading dataset

# Loading a json dataset from a file


file_path = 'data/amazon_product_kg.json'

with open(file_path, 'r') as file:


jsonData = json.load(file)

df = pd.read_json(file_path)
df.head()

graph.query(query)

Querying the database

Creating vector indexes


In order to efficiently search our database for terms closely related to user queries, we need to
use embeddings. To do this, we will create vector indexes on each type of property.

We will be using the OpenAIEmbeddings Langchain utility. It's important to note that Langchain
adds a pre-processing step, so the embeddings will slightly differ from those generated directly
with the OpenAI embeddings API.

from langchain.vectorstores.neo4j_vector import Neo4jVector


from langchain.embeddings.openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
embeddings_model = "text-embedding-3-small"

vector_index = Neo4jVector.from_existing_graph(
OpenAIEmbeddings(model=embeddings_model),
url=url,
username=username,
password=password,
index_name='products',
node_label="Product",
text_node_properties=['name', 'title'],
embedding_node_property='embedding',
)

def embed_entities(entity_type):
vector_index = Neo4jVector.from_existing_graph(
OpenAIEmbeddings(model=embeddings_model),
url=url,
username=username,
password=password,
index_name=entity_type,
node_label=entity_type,
text_node_properties=['value'],
embedding_node_property='embedding',
)

entities_list = df['entity_type'].unique()

for t in entities_list:
embed_entities(t)

Querying the database directly

Using GraphCypherQAChain , we can generate queries against the database using Natural
Language.
from langchain.chains import GraphCypherQAChain
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI

chain = GraphCypherQAChain.from_llm(
ChatOpenAI(temperature=0), graph=graph, verbose=True,
)

chain.run("""
Help me find curtains
""")

> Entering new GraphCypherQAChain chain...


Generated Cypher:
MATCH (p:Product)-[:HAS_CATEGORY]->(c:Category)
WHERE c.name = 'Curtains'
RETURN p
Full Context:
[]

> Finished chain.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have any information to help you find curtains."

Extracting entities from the prompt

However, there is little added value here compared to just writing the Cypher queries ourselves,
and it is prone to error.

Indeed, asking an LLM to generate a Cypher query directly might result in the wrong
parameters being used, whether it's the entity type or the relationship type, as is the case
above.

We will instead use LLMs to decide what to search for, and then generate the corresponding
Cypher queries using templates.

For this purpose, we will instruct our model to find relevant entities in the user prompt that can
be used to query our database.
entity_types = {
"product": "Item detailed type, for example 'high waist pants', 'outdoor plant pot', 'chef kitche
"category": "Item category, for example 'home decoration', 'women clothing', 'office supply'",
"characteristic": "if present, item characteristics, for example 'waterproof', 'adhesive', 'easy
"measurement": "if present, dimensions of the item",
"brand": "if present, brand of the item",
"color": "if present, color of the item",
"age_group": "target age group for the product, one of 'babies', 'children', 'teenagers', 'adults
}

relation_types = {
"hasCategory": "item is of this category",
"hasCharacteristic": "item has this characteristic",
"hasMeasurement": "item is of this measurement",
"hasBrand": "item is of this brand",
"hasColor": "item is of this color",
"isFor": "item is for this age_group"
}

entity_relationship_match = {
"category": "hasCategory",
"characteristic": "hasCharacteristic",
"measurement": "hasMeasurement",
"brand": "hasBrand",
"color": "hasColor",
"age_group": "isFor"
}

system_prompt = f'''
You are a helpful agent designed to fetch information from a graph database.

The graph database links products to the following entity types:


{json.dumps(entity_types)}

Each link has one of the following relationships:


{json.dumps(relation_types)}

Depending on the user prompt, determine if it possible to answer with the graph database.

The graph database can match products with multiple relationships to several entities.

Example user input:


"Which blue clothing items are suitable for adults?"

There are three relationships to analyse:


1. The mention of the blue color means we will search for a color similar to "blue"
2. The mention of the clothing items means we will search for a category similar to "clothing"
3. The mention of adults means we will search for an age_group similar to "adults"

Return a json object following the following rules:


For each relationship to analyse, add a key value pair with the key being an exact match for one

For the example provided, the expected output would be:


{{
"color": "blue",
"category": "clothing",
"age_group": "adults"
}}

If there are no relevant entities in the user prompt, return an empty json object.

print(system_prompt)

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

"I'm looking for a bench with dimensions 100x50 for my living room"
]

for q in example_queries:
print(f"Q: '{q}'\n{define_query(q)}\n")

Q: 'Which pink items are suitable for children?'

"characteristic": "waterproof"
}
Q: 'I'm looking for a bench with dimensions 100x50 for my living room'
{
"measurement": "100x50",
"category": "home decoration"
}

Generating queries
Now that we know what to look for, we can generate the corresponding Cypher queries to
query our database.

However, the entities extracted might not be an exact match with the data we have, so we will
use the GDS cosine similarity function to return products that have relationships with entities
similar to what the user is asking.

Finding similar items

We can then leverage the graph db to find similar products based on common characteristics.

This is where the use of a graph db really comes into play.


For example, we can look for products that are the same category and have another
characteristic in common, or find products that have relationships to the same entities.

This criteria is arbitrary and completely depends on what is the most relevant in relation to your
use case.

# Adjust the relationships_threshold to return products that have more or less relationships in commo
def query_similar_items(product_id, relationships_threshold = 3):

similar_items = []

# Fetching items in the same category with at least 1 other entity in common
query_category = '''
MATCH (p:Product {id: $product_id})-[:hasCategory]->(c:category)
MATCH (p)-->(entity)
WHERE NOT entity:category
MATCH (n:Product)-[:hasCategory]->(c)
MATCH (n)-->(commonEntity)
WHERE commonEntity = entity AND p.id <> n.id
RETURN DISTINCT n;
'''

result_category = graph.query(query_category, params={"product_id": int(product_id)})


#print(f"{len(result_category)} similar items of the same category were found.")

# Fetching items with at least n (= relationships_threshold) entities in common


query_common_entities = '''
MATCH (p:Product {id: $product_id})-->(entity),
(n:Product)-->(entity)
WHERE p.id <> n.id
WITH n, COUNT(DISTINCT entity) AS commonEntities
WHERE commonEntities >= $threshold
RETURN n;

result_common_entities = graph.query(query_common_entities, params={"product_id": int(product_id)
#print(f"{len(result_common_entities)} items with at least {relationships_threshold} things in co

for i in result_category:

return similar_items
product_ids = ['1519827', '2763742']

Final result

Now that we have all the pieces working, we will stitch everything together.

We can also add a fallback option to do a product name/title similarity search if we can't find
relevant entities in the user prompt.

We will explore 2 options, one with a Langchain agent for a conversational experience, and one
that is more deterministic based on code only.
Depending on your use case, you might choose one or the other option and tailor it to your
needs.

Building a Langchain agent


We will create a Langchain agent to handle conversations and probing the user for more

Building a code-only experience


As our experiments show, using an agent for this type of task might not be the best option.

Indeed, the agent seems to retrieve results from the tools, but comes up with made-up
responses.

For this specific use case, if the conversational aspect is less relevant, we can actually create a
function that will call our previously-defined tasks and provide an answer.

import logging

def answer(prompt, similar_items_limit=10):


print(f'Prompt: "{prompt}"\n')
params = define_query(prompt)
print(params)
result = query_db(params)
print(f"Found {len(result)} matches with Query function.\n")
if len(result) == 0:
result = similarity_search(prompt)
print(f"Found {len(result)} matches with Similarity search function.\n")
if len(result) == 0:

Conclusion

User experience
When the primary objective is to extract specific information from our database, Large
Language Models (LLMs) can significantly enhance our querying capabilities.
However, it's crucial to base much of this process on robust code logic to ensure a foolproof
user experience.

For crafting a genuinely conversational chatbot, further exploration in prompt engineering is


necessary, possibly incorporating few-shot examples. This approach helps mitigate the risk of
generating inaccurate or misleading information and ensures more precise responses.

Ultimately, the design choice depends on the desired user experience. For instance, if the aim is
to create a visual recommendation system, the importance of a conversational interface is less
relevant.

Working with a knowledge graph


Retrieving content from a knowledge graph adds complexity but can be useful if you want to
leverage connections between items.

The querying part of this notebook would work on a relational database as well, the knowledge
graph comes in handy when we want to couple the results with similar items that the graph is
surfacing.

Considering the added complexity, make sure using a knowledge graph is the best option for
your use case. If it is the case, feel free to refine what this cookbook presents to match your
needs and perform even better!

Using Weaviate for Embeddings Search


Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Jun 27, 2023

This notebook takes you through a simple flow to download some data, embed it, and then
index and search it using a selection of vector databases. This is a common requirement for
customers who want to store and search our embeddings with their own data in a secure
environment to support production use cases such as chatbots, topic modelling and more.

What is a Vector Database


A vector database is a database made to store, manage and search embedding vectors. The use
of embeddings to encode unstructured data (text, audio, video and more) as vectors for
consumption by machine-learning models has exploded in recent years, due to the increasing
effectiveness of AI in solving use cases involving natural language, image recognition and other
unstructured forms of data. Vector databases have emerged as an effective solution for
enterprises to deliver and scale these use cases.

Why use a Vector Database

Vector databases enable enterprises to take many of the embeddings use cases we've shared in
this repo (question and answering, chatbot and recommendation services, for example), and
make use of them in a secure, scalable environment. Many of our customers make embeddings
solve their problems at small scale but performance and security hold them back from going
into production - we see vector databases as a key component in solving that, and in this guide
we'll walk through the basics of embedding text data, storing it in a vector database and using it
for semantic search.

Demo Flow
The demo flow is:
Setup: Import packages and set any required variables

Load data: Load a dataset and embed it using OpenAI embeddings

Weaviate

Setup: Here we'll set up the Python client for Weaviate. For more details go here

Index Data: We'll create an index with title search vectors in it

Search Data: We'll run a few searches to confirm it works

Once you've run through this notebook you should have a basic understanding of how to setup
and use vector databases, and can move on to more complex use cases making use of our
embeddings.

Setup

Import the required libraries and set the embedding model that we'd like to use.

# We'll need to install the Weaviate client


!pip install weaviate-client

#Install wget to pull zip file


!pip install wget

import openai

from typing import List, Iterator


import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import os
import wget
from ast import literal_eval

# Weaviate's client library for Python


import weaviate

# I've set this to our new embeddings model, this can be changed to the embedding model of your choic
EMBEDDING_MODEL = "text-embedding-3-small"

# Ignore unclosed SSL socket warnings - optional in case you get these errors
import warnings

warnings.filterwarnings(action="ignore", message="unclosed", category=ResourceWarning)


warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=DeprecationWarning)
Load data

In this section we'll load embedded data that we've prepared previous to this session.

embeddings_url = 'https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde

Weaviate

Another vector database option we'll explore is Weaviate, which offers both a managed, SaaS
option, as well as a self-hosted open source option. As we've already looked at a cloud vector
database, we'll try the self-hosted option here.

For this we will:

Set up a local deployment of Weaviate

Create indices in Weaviate

Store our data there

Fire some similarity search queries

Try a real use case

Bring your own vectors approach


In this cookbook, we provide the data with already generated vectors. This is a good approach
for scenarios, where your data is already vectorized.

Automated vectorization with OpenAI module

For scenarios, where your data is not vectorized yet, you can delegate the vectorization task
with OpenAI to Weaviate. Weaviate offers a built-in module text2vec-openai, which takes care
of the vectorization for you at:

import

for any CRUD operations

for semantic search

Check out the Getting Started with Weaviate and OpenAI module cookbook to learn step by
step how to import and vectorize data in one step.

Setup

To run Weaviate locally, you'll need Docker. Following the instructions contained in the
Weaviate documentation here, we created an example docker-compose.yml file in this repo
saved at ./weaviate/docker-compose.yml.

After starting Docker, you can start Weaviate locally by navigating to the
examples/vector_databases/weaviate/ directory and running docker-compose up -d .

SaaS

Alternatively you can use Weaviate Cloud Service (WCS) to create a free Weaviate cluster.

1. create a free account and/or login to WCS

2. create a Weaviate Cluster with the following settings:

Sandbox: Sandbox Free

Weaviate Version: Use default (latest)

OIDC Authentication: Disabled

3. your instance should be ready in a minute or two


4. make a note of the Cluster Id . The link will take you to the full path of your cluster (you
will need it later to connect to it). It should be something like: https://your-project-name-
suffix.weaviate.network

# Option #1 - Self-hosted - Weaviate Open Source


client = weaviate.Client(
url="http://localhost:8080",
additional_headers={
"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
}
)

# Option #2 - SaaS - (Weaviate Cloud Service)


client = weaviate.Client(
url="https://your-wcs-instance-name.weaviate.network",
additional_headers={
"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
}
)

client.is_ready()

Index data
In Weaviate you create schemas to capture each of the entities you will be searching.

In this case we'll create a schema called Article with the title vector from above included for us
to search by.

The next few steps closely follow the documentation Weaviate provides here.

# Clear up the schema, so that we can recreate it


client.schema.delete_all()
client.schema.get()

# Define the Schema object to use `text-embedding-3-small` on `title` and `content`, but skip it for
article_schema = {
"class": "Article",
"description": "A collection of articles",
"vectorizer": "text2vec-openai",

},
{
"name": "content",

"dataType": ["text"],
"moduleConfig": { "text2vec-openai": { "skip": True } }
}]
}

# add the Article schema


client.schema.create_class(article_schema)

# get the schema to make sure it worked


client.schema.get()

'desiredCount': 1,
'actualCount': 1,
'desiredVirtualCount': 128,

'key': '_id',
'strategy': 'hash'

### Step 1 - configure Weaviate Batch, which optimizes CRUD operations in bulk
# - starting batch size of 100
# - dynamically increase/decrease based on performance
# - add timeout retries if something goes wrong

client.batch.configure(
batch_size=100,

Let Weaviate handle vector embeddings

Weaviate has a built-in module for OpenAI, which takes care of the steps required to generate
a vector embedding for your queries and any CRUD operations.

This allows you to run a vector query with the with_near_text filter, which uses your
OPEN_API_KEY .

def near_text_weaviate(query, collection_name):

nearText = {
"concepts": [query],
"distance": 0.7,

Using Weaviate with OpenAI vectorize module


for Hybrid Search
Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Feb 12, 2023

This notebook is prepared for a scenario where:

Your data is not vectorized

You want to run Hybrid Search (learn more) on your data

You want to use Weaviate with the OpenAI module (text2vec-openai), to generate vector
embeddings for you.

This notebook takes you through a simple flow to set up a Weaviate instance, connect to it (with
OpenAI API key), configure data schema, import data (which will automatically generate vector
embeddings for your data), and run hybrid search (mixing of vector and BM25 search).

This is a common requirement for customers who want to store and search our embeddings
with their own data in a secure environment to support production use cases such as chatbots,
topic modelling and more.

What is Weaviate

Weaviate is an open-source vector search engine that stores data objects together with their
vectors. This allows for combining vector search with structured filtering.

Weaviate uses KNN algorithms to create an vector-optimized index, which allows your queries
to run extremely fast. Learn more here.

Weaviate let you use your favorite ML-models, and scale seamlessly into billions of data objects.
Deployment options

Whatever your scenario or production setup, Weaviate has an option for you. You can deploy
Weaviate in the following setups:

Self-hosted – you can deploy Weaviate with docker locally, or any server you want.

SaaS – you can use Weaviate Cloud Service (WCS) to host your Weaviate instances.

Hybrid-SaaS – you can deploy Weaviate in your own private Cloud Service

Programming languages

Weaviate offers four client libraries, which allow you to communicate from your apps:

Python

JavaScript

Java

Go

Additionally, Weaviate has a REST layer. Basically you can call Weaviate from any language that
supports REST requests.

Demo Flow

The demo flow is:

Prerequisites Setup: Create a Weaviate instance and install required libraries

Connect: Connect to your Weaviate instance

Schema Configuration: Configure the schema of your data

Note: Here we can define which OpenAI Embedding Model to use

Note: Here we can configure which properties to index

Import data: Load a demo dataset and import it into Weaviate

Note: The import process will automatically index your data - based on the
configuration in the schema
Note: You don't need to explicitly vectorize your data, Weaviate will communicate with
OpenAI to do it for you

Run Queries: Query

Note: You don't need to explicitly vectorize your queries, Weaviate will communicate
with OpenAI to do it for you

Once you've run through this notebook you should have a basic understanding of how to setup
and use vector databases, and can move on to more complex use cases making use of our
embeddings.

OpenAI Module in Weaviate

All Weaviate instances come equipped with the text2vec-openai module.

This module is responsible for handling vectorization during import (or any CRUD operations)
and when you run a query.

No need to manually vectorize data

This is great news for you. With text2vec-openai you don't need to manually vectorize your
data, as Weaviate will call OpenAI for you whenever necessary.

All you need to do is:

1. provide your OpenAI API Key – when you connected to the Weaviate Client

2. define which OpenAI vectorizer to use in your Schema

Prerequisites

Before we start this project, we need setup the following:

create a Weaviate instance

install libraries

weaviate-client
datasets

apache-beam

get your OpenAI API key

===========================================================

Create a Weaviate instance

To create a Weaviate instance we have 2 options:

1. (Recommended path) Weaviate Cloud Service – to host your Weaviate instance in the
cloud. The free sandbox should be more than enough for this cookbook.

2. Install and run Weaviate locally with Docker.

Option 1 – WCS Installation Steps

Use Weaviate Cloud Service (WCS) to create a free Weaviate cluster.

1. create a free account and/or login to WCS

2. create a Weaviate Cluster with the following settings:

Sandbox: Sandbox Free

Weaviate Version: Use default (latest)

OIDC Authentication: Disabled

3. your instance should be ready in a minute or two

4. make a note of the Cluster Id . The link will take you to the full path of your cluster (you
will need it later to connect to it). It should be something like: https://your-project-
name.weaviate.network

Option 2 – local Weaviate instance with Docker

Install and run Weaviate locally with Docker.

1. Download the ./docker-compose.yml file

2. Then open your terminal, navigate to where your docker-compose.yml file is located, and
start docker with: docker-compose up -d
3. Once this is ready, your instance should be available at http://localhost:8080

Note. To shut down your docker instance you can call: docker-compose down

Learn more

To learn more, about using Weaviate with Docker see the installation documentation.

===========================================================

Install required libraries

Before running this project make sure to have the following libraries:

Weaviate Python client


The Weaviate Python client allows you to communicate with your Weaviate instance from your
Python project.

datasets & apache-beam


To load sample data, you need the datasets library and its' dependency apache-beam .

# Install the Weaviate client for Python


!pip install weaviate-client>3.11.0

# Install datasets and apache-beam to load the sample datasets


!pip install datasets apache-beam

===========================================================

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of your data at import, and for running queries.
If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY .

# Export OpenAI API Key


!export OPENAI_API_KEY="your key"

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for
import os

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'your-key-goes-here'

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


print ("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print ("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

Connect to your Weaviate instance

In this section, we will:

1. test env variable OPENAI_API_KEY – make sure you completed the step in #Prepare-your-
OpenAI-API-key

2. connect to your Weaviate your OpenAI API Key

3. and test the client connection

The client
After this step, the client object will be used to perform all Weaviate-related operations.

import weaviate
from datasets import load_dataset
import os

# Connect to your Weaviate instance


client = weaviate.Client(
url="https://your-wcs-instance-name.weaviate.network/",
# url="http://localhost:8080/",
auth_client_secret=weaviate.auth.AuthApiKey(api_key="<YOUR-WEAVIATE-API-KEY>"), # comment out thi
additional_headers={
"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
}
)

# Check if your instance is live and ready


# This should return `True`
client.is_ready()

Schema
In this section, we will:

1. configure the data schema for your data

2. select OpenAI module

“This is the second and final step, which requires OpenAI specific configuration. After this
step, the rest of instructions wlll only touch on Weaviate, as the OpenAI tasks will be
handled automatically.”

What is a schema

In Weaviate you create schemas to capture each of the entities you will be searching.

A schema is how you tell Weaviate:

what embedding model should be used to vectorize the data

what your data is made of (property names and types)

which properties should be vectorized and indexed

In this cookbook we will use a dataset for Articles , which contains:

title

content

url
We want to vectorize title and content , but not the url .

To vectorize and query the data, we will use text-embedding-3-small .

# Clear up the schema, so that we can recreate it


client.schema.delete_all()
client.schema.get()

# Define the Schema object to use `text-embedding-3-small` on `title` and `content`, but skip it for
article_schema = {
"class": "Article",
"description": "A collection of articles",
"vectorizer": "text2vec-openai",
"moduleConfig": {
"text2vec-openai": {
"model": "ada",
"modelVersion": "002",
"type": "text"
}
},
"properties": [{
"name": "title",
"description": "Title of the article",
"dataType": ["string"]
},
{
"name": "content",
"description": "Contents of the article",
"dataType": ["text"]
},
{
"name": "url",
"description": "URL to the article",
"dataType": ["string"],
"moduleConfig": { "text2vec-openai": { "skip": True } }
}]
}

# add the Article schema


client.schema.create_class(article_schema)

# get the schema to make sure it worked


client.schema.get()

Import data

In this section we will:

1. load the Simple Wikipedia dataset

2. configure Weaviate Batch import (to make the import more efficient)
3. import the data into Weaviate

“Note: Like mentioned before. We don't need to manually vectorize the data. The text2vec-
openai module will take care of that.”

### STEP 1 - load the dataset

from datasets import load_dataset


from typing import List, Iterator

# We'll use the datasets library to pull the Simple Wikipedia dataset for embedding
dataset = list(load_dataset("wikipedia", "20220301.simple")["train"])

# For testing, limited to 2.5k articles for demo purposes


dataset = dataset[:2_500]

# Limited to 25k articles for larger demo purposes


# dataset = dataset[:25_000]

# for free OpenAI acounts, you can use 50 objects


# dataset = dataset[:50]

### Step 2 - configure Weaviate Batch, with


# - starting batch size of 100
# - dynamically increase/decrease based on performance
# - add timeout retries if something goes wrong

client.batch.configure(
batch_size=10,
dynamic=True,
timeout_retries=3,
# callback=None,
)

### Step 3 - import data

print("Importing Articles")

counter=0

with client.batch as batch:


for article in dataset:
if (counter %10 == 0):
print(f"Import {counter} / {len(dataset)} ")

properties = {
"title": article["title"],
"content": article["text"],
"url": article["url"]
}
batch.add_data_object(properties, "Article")
counter = counter+1

print("Importing Articles complete")

# Test that all data has loaded – get object count


result = (
client.query.aggregate("Article")
.with_fields("meta { count }")
.do()
)
print("Object count: ", result["data"]["Aggregate"]["Article"], "\n")

# Test one article has worked by checking one object


test_article = (
client.query
.get("Article", ["title", "url", "content"])
.with_limit(1)
.do()
)["data"]["Get"]["Article"][0]

print(test_article['title'])
print(test_article['url'])
print(test_article['content'])

Search Data

As above, we'll fire some queries at our new Index and get back results based on the closeness
to our existing vectors

Learn more about the alpha setting here

def hybrid_query_weaviate(query, collection_name, alpha_val):

nearText = {
"concepts": [query],
"distance": 0.7,
}

properties = [
"title", "content", "url",
"_additional { score }"
]

result = (
client.query
.get(collection_name, properties)
.with_hybrid(nearText, alpha=alpha_val)
.with_limit(10)
.do()
)

# Check for errors


if ("errors" in result):
print ("\033[91mYou probably have run out of OpenAI API calls for the current minute – the li
raise Exception(result["errors"][0]['message'])

return result["data"]["Get"][collection_name]

query_result = hybrid_query_weaviate("modern art in Europe", "Article", 0.5)

for i, article in enumerate(query_result):


print(f"{i+1}. { article['title']} (Score: {article['_additional']['score']})")

query_result = hybrid_query_weaviate("Famous battles in Scottish history", "Article", 0.5)

for i, article in enumerate(query_result):


print(f"{i+1}. { article['title']} (Score: {article['_additional']['score']})")

Thanks for following along, you're now equipped to set up your own vector databases and use
embeddings to do all kinds of cool things - enjoy! For more complex use cases please continue

cloud. The free sandbox should be more than enough for this cookbook.

2. Install and run Weaviate locally with Docker.

Option 1 – WCS Installation Steps

Use Weaviate Cloud Service (WCS) to create a free Weaviate cluster.

1. create a free account and/or login to WCS

2. create a Weaviate Cluster with the following settings:

Sandbox: Sandbox Free

Weaviate Version: Use default (latest)

OIDC Authentication: Disabled

3. your instance should be ready in a minute or two

4. make a note of the Cluster Id . The link will take you to the full path of your cluster (you
will need it later to connect to it). It should be something like: https://your-project-
name.weaviate.network

Option 2 – local Weaviate instance with Docker

Install and run Weaviate locally with Docker.

1. Download the ./docker-compose.yml file


2. Then open your terminal, navigate to where your docker-compose.yml file is located, and
start docker with: docker-compose up -d

3. Once this is ready, your instance should be available at http://localhost:8080

Note. To shut down your docker instance you can call: docker-compose down

To learn more, about using Weaviate with Docker see the installation documentation.

===========================================================

Install required libraries

Before running this project make sure to have the following libraries:

Weaviate Python client

The Weaviate Python client allows you to communicate with your Weaviate instance from your
Python project.

datasets & apache-beam

To load sample data, you need the datasets library and its' dependency apache-beam .

# Install the Weaviate client for Python


!pip install weaviate-client>3.11.0

# Install datasets and apache-beam to load the sample datasets


!pip install datasets apache-beam

===========================================================

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of your data at import, and for queries.
If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY .

# Export OpenAI API Key


!export OPENAI_API_KEY="your key"

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for
import os

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'your-key-goes-here'

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


print ("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print ("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

Connect to your Weaviate instance

In this section, we will:

1. test env variable OPENAI_API_KEY – make sure you completed the step in #Prepare-your-
OpenAI-API-key

2. connect to your Weaviate your OpenAI API Key

3. and test the client connection

The client
After this step, the client object will be used to perform all Weaviate-related operations.

import weaviate
from datasets import load_dataset
import os

# Connect to your Weaviate instance


client = weaviate.Client(
url="https://your-wcs-instance-name.weaviate.network/",
# url="http://localhost:8080/",
auth_client_secret=weaviate.auth.AuthApiKey(api_key="<YOUR-WEAVIATE-API-KEY>"), # comment out thi
additional_headers={
"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
}
)

# Check if your instance is live and ready


# This should return `True`
client.is_ready()

Schema
In this section, we will:

1. configure the data schema for your data

2. select OpenAI module

“This is the second and final step, which requires OpenAI specific configuration. After this
step, the rest of instructions wlll only touch on Weaviate, as the OpenAI tasks will be
handled automatically.”

What is a schema

In Weaviate you create schemas to capture each of the entities you will be searching.

A schema is how you tell Weaviate:

what embedding model should be used to vectorize the data

what your data is made of (property names and types)

which properties should be vectorized and indexed

In this cookbook we will use a dataset for Articles , which contains:

title

content

url
We want to vectorize title and content , but not the url .

To vectorize and query the data, we will use text-embedding-3-small . For Q&A we will use
gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct .

# Clear up the schema, so that we can recreate it


client.schema.delete_all()
client.schema.get()

# Define the Schema object to use `text-embedding-3-small` on `title` and `content`, but skip it for
article_schema = {
"class": "Article",
"description": "A collection of articles",
"vectorizer": "text2vec-openai",
"moduleConfig": {
"text2vec-openai": {
"model": "ada",
"modelVersion": "002",
"type": "text"
},
"qna-openai": {
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct",
"maxTokens": 16,
"temperature": 0.0,
"topP": 1,
"frequencyPenalty": 0.0,
"presencePenalty": 0.0
}
},
"properties": [{
"name": "title",
"description": "Title of the article",
"dataType": ["string"]
},
{
"name": "content",
"description": "Contents of the article",
"dataType": ["text"]
},
{
"name": "url",
"description": "URL to the article",
"dataType": ["string"],
"moduleConfig": { "text2vec-openai": { "skip": True } }
}]
}

# add the Article schema


client.schema.create_class(article_schema)

# get the schema to make sure it worked


client.schema.get()
Import data

In this section we will:

1. load the Simple Wikipedia dataset

2. configure Weaviate Batch import (to make the import more efficient)

3. import the data into Weaviate

“Note: Like mentioned before. We don't need to manually vectorize the data. The text2vec-
openai module will take care of that.”

### STEP 1 - load the dataset

from datasets import load_dataset


from typing import List, Iterator

# We'll use the datasets library to pull the Simple Wikipedia dataset for embedding
dataset = list(load_dataset("wikipedia", "20220301.simple")["train"])

# For testing, limited to 2.5k articles for demo purposes


dataset = dataset[:2_500]

# Limited to 25k articles for larger demo purposes


# dataset = dataset[:25_000]

# for free OpenAI acounts, you can use 50 objects


# dataset = dataset[:50]

### Step 2 - configure Weaviate Batch, with


# - starting batch size of 100
# - dynamically increase/decrease based on performance
# - add timeout retries if something goes wrong

client.batch.configure(
batch_size=10,
dynamic=True,
timeout_retries=3,
# callback=None,
)

### Step 3 - import data

print("Importing Articles")

counter=0
with client.batch as batch:
for article in dataset:
if (counter %10 == 0):
print(f"Import {counter} / {len(dataset)} ")

properties = {
"title": article["title"],
"content": article["text"],
"url": article["url"]
}

batch.add_data_object(properties, "Article")
counter = counter+1

print("Importing Articles complete")

# Test that all data has loaded – get object count


result = (
client.query.aggregate("Article")
.with_fields("meta { count }")
.do()
)
print("Object count: ", result["data"]["Aggregate"]["Article"], "\n")

# Test one article has worked by checking one object


test_article = (
client.query
.get("Article", ["title", "url", "content"])
.with_limit(1)
.do()
)["data"]["Get"]["Article"][0]

print(test_article['title'])
print(test_article['url'])
print(test_article['content'])

Question Answering on the Data

As above, we'll fire some queries at our new Index and get back results based on the closeness
to our existing vectors

def qna(query, collection_name):

properties = [
"title", "content", "url",
"_additional { answer { hasAnswer property result startPosition endPosition } distance }"
]

ask = {
"question": query,
"properties": ["content"]
}

result = (
client.query
.get(collection_name, properties)
.with_ask(ask)
.with_limit(1)
.do()
)

# Check for errors


if ("errors" in result):
print ("\033[91mYou probably have run out of OpenAI API calls for the current minute – the li
raise Exception(result["errors"][0]['message'])

return result["data"]["Get"][collection_name]

query_result = qna("Did Alanis Morissette win a Grammy?", "Article")

for i, article in enumerate(query_result):


print(f"{i+1}. { article['_additional']['answer']['result']} (Distance: {round(article['_addition

query_result = qna("What is the capital of China?", "Article")

for i, article in enumerate(query_result):


if article['_additional']['answer']['hasAnswer'] == False:
print('No answer found')
else:
print(f"{i+1}. { article['_additional']['answer']['result']} (Distance: {round(article['_additi

Thanks for following along, you're now equipped to set up your own vector databases and use
embeddings to do all kinds of cool things - enjoy! For more complex use cases please continue

Filtered Search with Zilliz and OpenAI


Filip Haltmayer
Open in Github
Mar 27, 2023

Finding your next movie

In this notebook we will be going over generating embeddings of movie descriptions with
OpenAI and using those embeddings within Zilliz to find relevant movies. To narrow our search
results and try something new, we are going to be using filtering to do metadata searches. The
dataset in this example is sourced from HuggingFace datasets, and contains a little over 8
thousand movie entries.

Lets begin by first downloading the required libraries for this notebook:

openai is used for communicating with the OpenAI embedding service

pymilvus is used for communicating with the Zilliz server

datasets is used for downloading the dataset

tqdm is used for the progress bars

! pip install openai pymilvus datasets tqdm

To get Zilliz up and running take a look here. With your account and database set up, proceed
to set the following values:

URI: The URI your database is running on

USER: Your database username

PASSWORD: Your database password

COLLECTION_NAME: What to name the collection within Zilliz


DIMENSION: The dimension of the embeddings

OPENAI_ENGINE: Which embedding model to use

openai.api_key: Your OpenAI account key

INDEX_PARAM: The index settings to use for the collection

QUERY_PARAM: The search parameters to use

BATCH_SIZE: How many texts to embed and insert at once

import openai

URI = 'your_uri'
TOKEN = 'your_token' # TOKEN == user:password or api_key
COLLECTION_NAME = 'book_search'
DIMENSION = 1536
OPENAI_ENGINE = 'text-embedding-3-small'
openai.api_key = 'sk-your_key'

INDEX_PARAM = {
'metric_type':'L2',
'index_type':"AUTOINDEX",
'params':{}
}

QUERY_PARAM = {
"metric_type": "L2",
"params": {},
}

BATCH_SIZE = 1000

from pymilvus import connections, utility, FieldSchema, Collection, CollectionSchema, DataType

# Connect to Zilliz Database


connections.connect(uri=URI, token=TOKEN)

# Remove collection if it already exists


if utility.has_collection(COLLECTION_NAME):
utility.drop_collection(COLLECTION_NAME)

# Create collection which includes the id, title, and embedding.


fields = [
FieldSchema(name='id', dtype=DataType.INT64, is_primary=True, auto_id=True),
FieldSchema(name='title', dtype=DataType.VARCHAR, max_length=64000),
FieldSchema(name='type', dtype=DataType.VARCHAR, max_length=64000),
FieldSchema(name='release_year', dtype=DataType.INT64),
FieldSchema(name='rating', dtype=DataType.VARCHAR, max_length=64000),
FieldSchema(name='description', dtype=DataType.VARCHAR, max_length=64000),
FieldSchema(name='embedding', dtype=DataType.FLOAT_VECTOR, dim=DIMENSION)
]
schema = CollectionSchema(fields=fields)
collection = Collection(name=COLLECTION_NAME, schema=schema)

# Create the index on the collection and load it.


collection.create_index(field_name="embedding", index_params=INDEX_PARAM)
collection.load()

Dataset

With Zilliz up and running we can begin grabbing our data. Hugging Face Datasets is a hub
that holds many different user datasets, and for this example we are using HuggingLearners's
netflix-shows dataset. This dataset contains movies and their metadata pairs for over 8
thousand movies. We are going to embed each description and store it within Zilliz along with
its title, type, release_year and rating.

import datasets

# Download the dataset


dataset = datasets.load_dataset('hugginglearners/netflix-shows', split='train')

/Users/filiphaltmayer/miniconda3/envs/haystack/lib/python3.9/site-packages/tqdm/auto.py:22: Tqd
from .autonotebook import tqdm as notebook_tqdm
Found cached dataset csv (/Users/filiphaltmayer/.cache/huggingface/datasets/hugginglearners___c

Insert the Data

Now that we have our data on our machine we can begin embedding it and inserting it into
Zilliz. The embedding function takes in text and returns the embeddings in a list format.

# Simple function that converts the texts to embeddings


def embed(texts):
embeddings = openai.Embedding.create(
input=texts,
engine=OPENAI_ENGINE
)
return [x['embedding'] for x in embeddings['data']]
This next step does the actual inserting. We iterate through all the entries and create batches
that we insert once we hit our set batch size. After the loop is over we insert the last remaning
batch if it exists.

from tqdm import tqdm

data = [
[], # title
[], # type
[], # release_year
[], # rating
[], # description
]

# Embed and insert in batches


for i in tqdm(range(0, len(dataset))):
data[0].append(dataset[i]['title'] or '')
data[1].append(dataset[i]['type'] or '')
data[2].append(dataset[i]['release_year'] or -1)
data[3].append(dataset[i]['rating'] or '')
data[4].append(dataset[i]['description'] or '')
if len(data[0]) % BATCH_SIZE == 0:
data.append(embed(data[4]))
collection.insert(data)
data = [[],[],[],[],[]]

# Embed and insert the remainder


if len(data[0]) != 0:
data.append(embed(data[4]))
collection.insert(data)
data = [[],[],[],[],[]]

100%|██████████| 8807/8807 [00:54<00:00, 162.59it/s]

Query the Database

With our data safely inserted into Zilliz, we can now perform a query. The query takes in a tuple
of the movie description you are searching for and the filter to use. More info about the filter
can be found here. The search first prints out your description and filter expression. After that
for each result we print the score, title, type, release year, rating and description of the result
movies.

import textwrap

def query(query, top_k = 5):


text, expr = query
res = collection.search(embed(text), anns_field='embedding', expr = expr, param=QUERY_PARAM, limi
for i, hit in enumerate(res):
print('Description:', text, 'Expression:', expr)
print('Results:')
for ii, hits in enumerate(hit):
print('\t' + 'Rank:', ii + 1, 'Score:', hits.score, 'Title:', hits.entity.get('title'))
print('\t\t' + 'Type:', hits.entity.get('type'), 'Release Year:', hits.entity.get('releas
print(textwrap.fill(hits.entity.get('description'), 88))
print()

my_query = ('movie about a fluffly animal', 'release_year < 2019 and rating like \"PG%\"')

query(my_query)

Recommendation using embeddings and


nearest neighbor search
Ted Sanders, Boris Power, Logan Kilpatrick
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

Recommendations are widespread across the web.

'Bought that item? Try these similar items.'

'Enjoy that book? Try these similar titles.'

'Not the help page you were looking for? Try these similar pages.'

This notebook demonstrates how to use embeddings to find similar items to recommend. In
particular, we use AG's corpus of news articles as our dataset.

Our model will answer the question: given an article, what other articles are most similar to it?

import pandas as pd
import pickle

from utils.embeddings_utils import (


get_embedding,
distances_from_embeddings,
tsne_components_from_embeddings,
chart_from_components,
indices_of_nearest_neighbors_from_distances,
)

EMBEDDING_MODEL = "text-embedding-3-small"

2. Load data

Next, let's load the AG news data and see what it looks like.

# load data (full dataset available at http://groups.di.unipi.it/~gulli/AG_corpus_of_news_articles.ht


dataset_path = "data/AG_news_samples.csv"
df = pd.read_csv(dataset_path)

3. Build cache to save embeddings

Before getting embeddings for these articles, let's set up a cache to save the embeddings we
generate. In general, it's a good idea to save your embeddings so you can re-use them later. If
you don't save them, you'll pay again each time you compute them again.

The cache is a dictionary that maps tuples of (text, model) to an embedding, which is a list of
floats. The cache is saved as a Python pickle file.

# establish a cache of embeddings to avoid recomputing


# cache is a dict of tuples (text, model) -> embedding, saved as a pickle file

# set path to embedding cache


embedding_cache_path = "data/recommendations_embeddings_cache.pkl"

# load the cache if it exists, and save a copy to disk


try:
embedding_cache = pd.read_pickle(embedding_cache_path)
except FileNotFoundError:
embedding_cache = {}
with open(embedding_cache_path, "wb") as embedding_cache_file:
pickle.dump(embedding_cache, embedding_cache_file)

# define a function to retrieve embeddings from the cache if present, and otherwise request via the A
def embedding_from_string(
string: str,
model: str = EMBEDDING_MODEL,
embedding_cache=embedding_cache
) -> list:
"""Return embedding of given string, using a cache to avoid recomputing."""
if (string, model) not in embedding_cache.keys():
embedding_cache[(string, model)] = get_embedding(string, model)
with open(embedding_cache_path, "wb") as embedding_cache_file:
pickle.dump(embedding_cache, embedding_cache_file)
return embedding_cache[(string, model)]

Let's check that it works by getting an embedding.

# as an example, take the first description from the dataset


example_string = df["description"].values[0]
print(f"\nExample string: {example_string}")
# print the first 10 dimensions of the embedding
example_embedding = embedding_from_string(example_string)
print(f"\nExample embedding: {example_embedding[:10]}...")

Example string: BRITAIN: BLAIR WARNS OF CLIMATE THREAT Prime Minister Tony Blair urged the inte

Example embedding: [0.0545826330780983, -0.00428084097802639, 0.04785159230232239, 0.0158791411

4. Recommend similar articles based on embeddings


To find similar articles, let's follow a three-step plan:

1. Get the similarity embeddings of all the article descriptions

2. Calculate the distance between a source title and all other articles

3. Print out the other articles closest to the source title

def print_recommendations_from_strings(
strings: list[str],
index_of_source_string: int,
k_nearest_neighbors: int = 1,
model=EMBEDDING_MODEL,
) -> list[int]:
"""Print out the k nearest neighbors of a given string."""
# get embeddings for all strings
embeddings = [embedding_from_string(string, model=model) for string in strings]

# get the embedding of the source string


query_embedding = embeddings[index_of_source_string]

# get distances between the source embedding and other embeddings (function from utils.embeddings
distances = distances_from_embeddings(query_embedding, embeddings, distance_metric="cosine")

# get indices of nearest neighbors (function from utils.utils.embeddings_utils.py)


indices_of_nearest_neighbors = indices_of_nearest_neighbors_from_distances(distances)

# print out source string


query_string = strings[index_of_source_string]
print(f"Source string: {query_string}")
# print out its k nearest neighbors
k_counter = 0
for i in indices_of_nearest_neighbors:
# skip any strings that are identical matches to the starting string
if query_string == strings[i]:
continue
# stop after printing out k articles
if k_counter >= k_nearest_neighbors:
break
k_counter += 1
# print out the similar strings and their distances
print(
f"""
--- Recommendation #{k_counter} (nearest neighbor {k_counter} of {k_nearest_neighbors}) ---
String: {strings[i]}
Distance: {distances[i]:0.3f}"""
)

return indices_of_nearest_neighbors

5. Example recommendations

Let's look for articles similar to first one, which was about Tony Blair.

article_descriptions = df["description"].tolist()

tony_blair_articles = print_recommendations_from_strings(
strings=article_descriptions, # let's base similarity off of the article description
index_of_source_string=0, # articles similar to the first one about Tony Blair
k_nearest_neighbors=5, # 5 most similar articles
)

Source string: BRITAIN: BLAIR WARNS OF CLIMATE THREAT Prime Minister Tony Blair urged the inter

--- Recommendation #1 (nearest neighbor 1 of 5) ---


String: The anguish of hostage Kenneth Bigley in Iraq hangs over Prime Minister Tony Bl
Distance: 0.514

--- Recommendation #2 (nearest neighbor 2 of 5) ---


String: THE re-election of British Prime Minister Tony Blair would be seen as an endors
Distance: 0.516

--- Recommendation #3 (nearest neighbor 3 of 5) ---


String: Israel is prepared to back a Middle East conference convened by Tony Blair earl
Distance: 0.546

--- Recommendation #4 (nearest neighbor 4 of 5) ---

Distance: 0.568

--- Recommendation #5 (nearest neighbor 5 of 5) ---


String: AFP - A battle group of British troops rolled out of southern Iraq on a US-requ
Distance: 0.579

Pretty good! 4 of the 5 recommendations explicitly mention Tony Blair and the fifth is an article
from London about climate change, topics that might be often associated with Tony Blair.
Let's see how our recommender does on the second example article about NVIDIA's new
chipset with more security.

chipset_security_articles = print_recommendations_from_strings(
strings=article_descriptions, # let's base similarity off of the article description
index_of_source_string=1, # let's look at articles similar to the second one about a more secure
k_nearest_neighbors=5, # let's look at the 5 most similar articles
)

Source string: PC World - Upcoming chip set will include built-in security features for your PC

--- Recommendation #1 (nearest neighbor 1 of 5) ---


String: PC World - Updated antivirus software for businesses adds intrusion prevention
Distance: 0.422

--- Recommendation #2 (nearest neighbor 2 of 5) ---


String: PC World - Symantec, McAfee hope raising virus-definition fees will move users
Distance: 0.518

--- Recommendation #3 (nearest neighbor 3 of 5) ---


String: originally offered on notebook PCs -- to its Opteron 32- and 64-bit x86 process
Distance: 0.522

--- Recommendation #4 (nearest neighbor 4 of 5) ---


String: PC World - Send your video throughout your house--wirelessly--with new gateways
Distance: 0.532

--- Recommendation #5 (nearest neighbor 5 of 5) ---


String: Chips that help a computer's main microprocessors perform specific types of mat
Distance: 0.532

From the printed distances, you can see that the #1 recommendation is much closer than all the
others (0.11 vs 0.14+). And the #1 recommendation looks very similar to the starting article - it's
another article from PC World about increasing computer security. Pretty good!

Appendix: Using embeddings in more sophisticated


recommenders

A more sophisticated way to build a recommender system is to train a machine learning model
that takes in tens or hundreds of signals, such as item popularity or user click data. Even in this
system, embeddings can be a very useful signal into the recommender, especially for items that
are being 'cold started' with no user data yet (e.g., a brand new product added to the catalog
without any clicks yet).
Appendix: Using embeddings to visualize similar articles

To get a sense of what our nearest neighbor recommender is doing, let's visualize the article
embeddings. Although we can't plot the 2048 dimensions of each embedding vector, we can
use techniques like t-SNE or PCA to compress the embeddings down into 2 or 3 dimensions,
which we can chart.

Before visualizing the nearest neighbors, let's visualize all of the article descriptions using t-SNE.
Note that t-SNE is not deterministic, meaning that results may vary from run to run.

# get embeddings for all article descriptions


embeddings = [embedding_from_string(string) for string in article_descriptions]
# compress the 2048-dimensional embeddings into 2 dimensions using t-SNE
tsne_components = tsne_components_from_embeddings(embeddings)
# get the article labels for coloring the chart
labels = df["label"].tolist()

chart_from_components(
components=tsne_components,
labels=labels,
strings=article_descriptions,
width=600,
height=500,
title="t-SNE components of article descriptions",
)

As you can see in the chart above, even the highly compressed embeddings do a good job of
clustering article descriptions by category. And it's worth emphasizing: this clustering is done
with no knowledge of the labels themselves!

Also, if you look closely at the most egregious outliers, they are often due to mislabeling rather
than poor embedding. For example, the majority of the blue World points in the green Sports
cluster appear to be Sports stories.

Next, let's recolor the points by whether they are a source article, its nearest neighbors, or other.

# create labels for the recommended articles


def nearest_neighbor_labels(
list_of_indices: list[int],
k_nearest_neighbors: int = 5
) -> list[str]:
"""Return a list of labels to color the k nearest neighbors."""
labels = ["Other" for _ in list_of_indices]
source_index = list_of_indices[0]
labels[source_index] = "Source"
for i in range(k_nearest_neighbors):
nearest_neighbor_index = list_of_indices[i + 1]
labels[nearest_neighbor_index] = f"Nearest neighbor (top {k_nearest_neighbors})"
return labels

tony_blair_labels = nearest_neighbor_labels(tony_blair_articles, k_nearest_neighbors=5)


chipset_security_labels = nearest_neighbor_labels(chipset_security_articles, k_nearest_neighbors=5
)

# a 2D chart of nearest neighbors of the Tony Blair article


chart_from_components(
components=tsne_components,
labels=tony_blair_labels,
strings=article_descriptions,
width=600,
height=500,
title="Nearest neighbors of the Tony Blair article",
category_orders={"label": ["Other", "Nearest neighbor (top 5)", "Source"]},
)

Looking at the 2D chart above, we can see that the articles about Tony Blair are somewhat close
together inside of the World news cluster. Interestingly, although the 5 nearest neighbors (red)
were closest in high dimensional space, they are not the closest points in this compressed 2D
space. Compressing the embeddings down to 2 dimensions discards much of their information,
and the nearest neighbors in the 2D space don't seem to be as relevant as those in the full
embedding space.

# a 2D chart of nearest neighbors of the chipset security article


chart_from_components(
components=tsne_components,
labels=chipset_security_labels,
strings=article_descriptions,
width=600,
height=500,
title="Nearest neighbors of the chipset security article",
category_orders={"label": ["Other", "Nearest neighbor (top 5)", "Source"]},
)

For the chipset security example, the 4 closest nearest neighbors in the full embedding space
remain nearest neighbors in this compressed 2D visualization. The fifth is displayed as more
distant, despite being closer in the full embedding space.

Should you want to, you can also make an interactive 3D plot of the embeddings with the
function chart_from_components_3D . (Doing so will require recomputing the t-SNE components
with n_components=3 .)

Running Hybrid VSS Queries with Redis and


OpenAI
Michael Yuan
Open in Github
May 10, 2023

This notebook provides an introduction to using Redis as a vector database with OpenAI
embeddings and running hybrid queries that combine VSS and lexical search using Redis Query
and Search capability. Redis is a scalable, real-time database that can be used as a vector
database when using the RediSearch Module. The Redis Query and Search capability allows you
to index and search for vectors in Redis. This notebook will show you how to use the Redis
Query and Search to index and search for vectors created by using the OpenAI API and stored
in Redis.

Hybrid queries combine vector similarity with traditional Redis Query and Search filtering
capabilities on GEO, NUMERIC, TAG or TEXT data simplifying application code. A common
example of a hybrid query in an e-commerce use case is to find items visually similar to a given
query image limited to items available in a GEO location and within a price range.

Prerequisites

Before we start this project, we need to set up the following:

start a Redis database with RediSearch (redis-stack)

install libraries

Redis-py

get your OpenAI API key

===========================================================
Start Redis

To keep this example simple, we will use the Redis Stack docker container which we can start as
follows

$ docker-compose up -d

This also includes the RedisInsight GUI for managing your Redis database which you can view
at http://localhost:8001 once you start the docker container.

You're all set up and ready to go! Next, we import and create our client for communicating with
the Redis database we just created.

Install Requirements

Redis-Py is the python client for communicating with Redis. We will use this to communicate
with our Redis-stack database.

! pip install redis pandas openai

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of query data.

If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY by
using following command:

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for
import os
import openai

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = '<YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY>'

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


openai.api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
print ("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print ("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

OPENAI_API_KEY is ready

Load data

In this section we'll load and clean an ecommerce dataset. We'll generate embeddings using
OpenAI and use this data to create an index in Redis and then search for similar vectors.

Connect to Redis

Now that we have our Redis database running, we can connect to it using the Redis-py client.
We will use the default host and port for the Redis database which is localhost:6379 .

import redis
from redis.commands.search.indexDefinition import (
IndexDefinition,
IndexType
)
from redis.commands.search.query import Query
from redis.commands.search.field import (
TagField,
NumericField,
TextField,
VectorField
)

REDIS_HOST = "localhost"
REDIS_PORT = 6379
REDIS_PASSWORD = "" # default for passwordless Redis

# Connect to Redis
redis_client = redis.Redis(
host=REDIS_HOST,
port=REDIS_PORT,
password=REDIS_PASSWORD
)
redis_client.ping()

True

Creating a Search Index in Redis

The below cells will show how to specify and create a search index in Redis. We will:

1. Set some constants for defining our index like the distance metric and the index name

2. Define the index schema with RediSearch fields

3. Create the index

# Constants
INDEX_NAME = "product_embeddings" # name of the search index
PREFIX = "doc" # prefix for the document keys
DISTANCE_METRIC = "L2" # distance metric for the vectors (ex. COSINE, IP, L2)
NUMBER_OF_VECTORS = len(df)

# Define RediSearch fields for each of the columns in the dataset


name = TextField(name="productDisplayName")
category = TagField(name="masterCategory")
articleType = TagField(name="articleType")
gender = TagField(name="gender")
season = TagField(name="season")
year = NumericField(name="year")
text_embedding = VectorField("product_vector",
"FLAT", {
"TYPE": "FLOAT32",
"DIM": 1536,
"DISTANCE_METRIC": DISTANCE_METRIC,
"INITIAL_CAP": NUMBER_OF_VECTORS,
}
)
fields = [name, category, articleType, gender, season, year, text_embedding]

# Check if index exists


try:
redis_client.ft(INDEX_NAME).info()
print("Index already exists")
except:
# Create RediSearch Index
redis_client.ft(INDEX_NAME).create_index(
fields = fields,
definition = IndexDefinition(prefix=[PREFIX], index_type=IndexType.HASH)
)

Generate OpenAI Embeddings and Load Documents into the


Index

Now that we have a search index, we can load documents into it. We will use the dataframe
containing the styles dataset loaded previously. In Redis, either the HASH or JSON (if using
RedisJSON in addition to RediSearch) data types can be used to store documents. We will use
the HASH data type in this example. The cells below will show how to get OpenAI embeddings
for the different products and load documents into the index.

# Use OpenAI get_embeddings batch requests to speed up embedding creation


def embeddings_batch_request(documents: pd.DataFrame):
records = documents.to_dict("records")
print("Records to process: ", len(records))
product_vectors = []
docs = []
batchsize = 1000

for idx,doc in enumerate(records,start=1):


# create byte vectors
docs.append(doc["product_text"])
if idx % batchsize == 0:
product_vectors += get_embeddings(docs, EMBEDDING_MODEL)
docs.clear()
print("Vectors processed ", len(product_vectors), end='\r')
product_vectors += get_embeddings(docs, EMBEDDING_MODEL)
print("Vectors processed ", len(product_vectors), end='\r')
return product_vectors

def index_documents(client: redis.Redis, prefix: str, documents: pd.DataFrame):


product_vectors = embeddings_batch_request(documents)
records = documents.to_dict("records")
batchsize = 500

# Use Redis pipelines to batch calls and save on round trip network communication
pipe = client.pipeline()
for idx,doc in enumerate(records,start=1):
key = f"{prefix}:{str(doc['product_id'])}"

# create byte vectors


text_embedding = np.array((product_vectors[idx-1]), dtype=np.float32).tobytes()

# replace list of floats with byte vectors


doc["product_vector"] = text_embedding

pipe.hset(key, mapping = doc)


if idx % batchsize == 0:
pipe.execute()
pipe.execute()

%%time
index_documents(redis_client, PREFIX, df)
print(f"Loaded {redis_client.info()['db0']['keys']} documents in Redis search index with name: {INDEX

Records to process: 1978


Loaded 1978 documents in Redis search index with name: product_embeddings
CPU times: user 619 ms, sys: 78.9 ms, total: 698 ms
Wall time: 3.34 s

Simple Vector Search Queries with OpenAI Query Embeddings

Now that we have a search index and documents loaded into it, we can run search queries.
Below we will provide a function that will run a search query and return the results. Using this
function we run a few queries that will show how you can utilize Redis as a vector database.

def search_redis(
redis_client: redis.Redis,
user_query: str,
index_name: str = "product_embeddings",
vector_field: str = "product_vector",
return_fields: list = ["productDisplayName", "masterCategory", "gender", "season", "year", "vecto
hybrid_fields = "*",
k: int = 20,
print_results: bool = True,
) -> List[dict]:

# Use OpenAI to create embedding vector from user query


embedded_query = openai.Embedding.create(input=user_query,
model="text-embedding-3-small",
)["data"][0]['embedding']

# Prepare the Query


base_query = f'{hybrid_fields}=>[KNN {k} @{vector_field} $vector AS vector_score]'
query = (
Query(base_query)
.return_fields(*return_fields)
.sort_by("vector_score")
.paging(0, k)
.dialect(2)
)
params_dict = {"vector": np.array(embedded_query).astype(dtype=np.float32).tobytes()}

# perform vector search


results = redis_client.ft(index_name).search(query, params_dict)
if print_results:
for i, product in enumerate(results.docs):
score = 1 - float(product.vector_score)
print(f"{i}. {product.productDisplayName} (Score: {round(score ,3) })")
return results.docs

# Execute a simple vector search in Redis


results = search_redis(redis_client, 'man blue jeans', k=10)

Hybrid Queries with Redis

The previous examples showed how run vector search queries with RediSearch. In this section,
we will show how to combine vector search with other RediSearch fields for hybrid search. In the
example below, we will combine vector search with full text search.

Using Qdrant as a vector database for OpenAI


embeddings
Kacper Łukawski
Open in Github
Feb 15, 2023

This notebook guides you step by step on using Qdrant as a vector database for OpenAI
embeddings. Qdrant is a high-performant vector search database written in Rust. It offers
RESTful and gRPC APIs to manage your embeddings. There is an official Python qdrant-client
that eases the integration with your apps.

This notebook presents an end-to-end process of:

1. Using precomputed embeddings created by OpenAI API.

2. Storing the embeddings in a local instance of Qdrant.

3. Converting raw text query to an embedding with OpenAI API.

4. Using Qdrant to perform the nearest neighbour search in the created collection.

What is Qdrant
Qdrant is an Open Source vector database that allows storing neural embeddings along with
the metadata, a.k.a payload. Payloads are not only available for keeping some additional
attributes of a particular point, but might be also used for filtering. Qdrant offers a unique
filtering mechanism which is built-in into the vector search phase, what makes it really efficient.

Deployment options

Qdrant might be launched in various ways, depending on the target load on the application it
might be hosted:

Locally or on premise, with Docker containers


On Kubernetes cluster, with the Helm chart

Using Qdrant Cloud

Integration

Qdrant provides both RESTful and gRPC APIs which makes integration easy, no matter the
programming language you use. However, there are some official clients for the most popular
languages available, and if you use Python then the Python Qdrant client library might be the
best choice.

Prerequisites

For the purposes of this exercise we need to prepare a couple of things:

1. Qdrant server instance. In our case a local Docker container.

2. The qdrant-client library to interact with the vector database.

3. An OpenAI API key.

Start Qdrant server

We're going to use a local Qdrant instance running in a Docker container. The easiest way to
launch it is to use the attached [docker-compose.yaml] file and run the following command:

! docker-compose up -d

qdrant_qdrant_1 is up-to-date

We might validate if the server was launched successfully by running a simple curl command:

! curl http://localhost:6333

{"title":"qdrant - vector search engine","version":"1.0.1"}


Install requirements

This notebook obviously requires the openai and qdrant-client packages, but there are also
some other additional libraries we will use. The following command installs them all:

! pip install openai qdrant-client pandas wget

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of the documents and queries.

If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY by
running following command:

! export OPENAI_API_KEY="your API key"

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for
import os

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


print("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

OPENAI_API_KEY is ready

Connect to Qdrant

Connecting to a running instance of Qdrant server is easy with the official Python library:
import qdrant_client

client = qdrant_client.QdrantClient(
host="localhost",
prefer_grpc=True,
)

We can test the connection by running any available method:

client.get_collections()

CollectionsResponse(collections=[])

Load data

In this section we are going to load the data prepared previous to this session, so you don't
have to recompute the embeddings of Wikipedia articles with your own credits.

import wget

embeddings_url = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde

# The file is ~700 MB so this will take some time

Index data

Qdrant stores data in collections where each object is described by at least one vector and may
contain an additional metadata called payload. Our collection will be called Articles and each
object will be described by both title and content vectors. Qdrant does not require you to set
up any kind of schema beforehand, so you can freely put points to the collection with a simple
setup only.

We will start with creating a collection, and then we will fill it with our precomputed
embeddings.

from qdrant_client.http import models as rest

vector_size = len(article_df["content_vector"][0])

client.recreate_collection(
collection_name="Articles",
vectors_config={
"title": rest.VectorParams(
distance=rest.Distance.COSINE,
size=vector_size,
),
"content": rest.VectorParams(
distance=rest.Distance.COSINE,
size=vector_size,
),
}
)

True

client.upsert(
collection_name="Articles",
points=[
rest.PointStruct(
id=k,
vector={
"title": v["title_vector"],
"content": v["content_vector"],
},
payload=v.to_dict(),
)
for k, v in article_df.iterrows()
],
)

UpdateResult(operation_id=0, status=<UpdateStatus.COMPLETED: 'completed'>)

# Check the collection size to make sure all the points have been stored
client.count(collection_name="Articles")

CountResult(count=25000)

Search data

Once the data is put into Qdrant we will start querying the collection for the closest vectors. We
may provide an additional parameter vector_name to switch from title to content based search.
Since the precomputed embeddings were created with text-embedding-3-small OpenAI model
we also have to use it during search.

import openai

def query_qdrant(query, collection_name, vector_name="title", top_k=20):


# Creates embedding vector from user query
embedded_query = openai.Embedding.create(
input=query,

)["data"][0]["embedding"]

query_results = client.search(
collection_name=collection_name,
query_vector=(
vector_name, embedded_query
),

How to work with large language models

Jan 19, 2023

How large language models work

Large language models are functions that map text to text. Given an input string of text, a large
language model predicts the text that should come next.

The magic of large language models is that by being trained to minimize this prediction error
over vast quantities of text, the models end up learning concepts useful for these predictions.
For example, they learn:

how to spell

how grammar works

how to paraphrase

how to answer questions

how to hold a conversation

how to write in many languages

how to code

etc.

They do this by “reading” a large amount of existing text and learning how words tend to
appear in context with other words, and uses what it has learned to predict the next most likely
word that might appear in response to a user request, and each subsequent word after that.

GPT-3 and GPT-4 power many software products, including productivity apps, education apps,
games, and more.
How to control a large language model

Of all the inputs to a large language model, by far the most influential is the text prompt.

Large language models can be prompted to produce output in a few ways:

Instruction: Tell the model what you want

Completion: Induce the model to complete the beginning of what you want

Scenario: Give the model a situation to play out

Demonstration: Show the model what you want, with either:

A few examples in the prompt

Many hundreds or thousands of examples in a fine-tuning training dataset

An example of each is shown below.

Instruction prompts

Write your instruction at the top of the prompt (or at the bottom, or both), and the model will
do its best to follow the instruction and then stop. Instructions can be detailed, so don't be
afraid to write a paragraph explicitly detailing the output you want, just stay aware of how many
tokens the model can process.

Example instruction prompt:

Extract the name of the author from the quotation below.


“Some humans theorize that intelligent species go extinct before they can expand into outer space.
― Ted Chiang, Exhalation

Output:

Ted Chiang

Completion prompt example


Completion-style prompts take advantage of how large language models try to write text they
think is mostly likely to come next. To steer the model, try beginning a pattern or sentence that
will be completed by the output you want to see. Relative to direct instructions, this mode of
steering large language models can take more care and experimentation. In addition, the
models won't necessarily know where to stop, so you will often need stop sequences or post-
processing to cut off text generated beyond the desired output.

Example completion prompt:

“Some humans theorize that intelligent species go extinct before they can expand into outer space.
― Ted Chiang, Exhalation
The author of this quote is

Output:

Ted Chiang

Scenario prompt example

Giving the model a scenario to follow or role to play out can be helpful for complex queries or
when seeking imaginative responses. When using a hypothetical prompt, you set up a situation,
problem, or story, and then ask the model to respond as if it were a character in that scenario or
an expert on the topic.

Example scenario prompt:

Your role is to extract the name of the author from any given text
“Some humans theorize that intelligent species go extinct before they can expand into outer space.
― Ted Chiang, Exhalation

Output:

Ted Chiang
Demonstration prompt example (few-shot learning)

Similar to completion-style prompts, demonstrations can show the model what you want it to
do. This approach is sometimes called few-shot learning, as the model learns from a few
examples provided in the prompt.

Example demonstration prompt:

Quote:
“When the reasoning mind is forced to confront the impossible again and again, it has no choice but
― N.K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season
Author: N.K. Jemisin
Quote:
“Some humans theorize that intelligent species go extinct before they can expand into outer space.
― Ted Chiang, Exhalation
Author:

Output:

Ted Chiang

Fine-tuned prompt example


With enough training examples, you can fine-tune a custom model. In this case, instructions
become unnecessary, as the model can learn the task from the training data provided. However,
it can be helpful to include separator sequences (e.g., -> or ### or any string that doesn't
commonly appear in your inputs) to tell the model when the prompt has ended and the output
should begin. Without separator sequences, there is a risk that the model continues elaborating
on the input text rather than starting on the answer you want to see.

Example fine-tuned prompt (for a model that has been custom trained on similar prompt-
completion pairs):

“Some humans theorize that intelligent species go extinct before they can expand into outer space.
― Ted Chiang, Exhalation
###
Output:

Ted Chiang

Code Capabilities

Large language models aren't only great at text - they can be great at code too. OpenAI's GPT-
4 model is a prime example.

GPT-4 powers numerous innovative products, including:

GitHub Copilot (autocompletes code in Visual Studio and other IDEs)

Replit (can complete, explain, edit and generate code)

Cursor (build software faster in an editor designed for pair-programming with AI)

GPT-4 is more advanced than previous models like gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct . But, to get the
best out of GPT-4 for coding tasks, it's still important to give clear and specific instructions. As a
result, designing good prompts can take more care.

More prompt advice


For more prompt examples, visit OpenAI Examples.

In general, the input prompt is the best lever for improving model outputs. You can try tricks
like:

Be more specific E.g., if you want the output to be a comma separated list, ask it to return a
comma separated list. If you want it to say "I don't know" when it doesn't know the answer,
tell it 'Say "I don't know" if you do not know the answer.' The more specific your
instructions, the better the model can respond.

Provide Context: Help the model understand the bigger picture of your request. This could
be background information, examples/demonstrations of what you want or explaining the
purpose of your task.
Ask the model to answer as if it was an expert. Explicitly asking the model to produce high
quality output or output as if it was written by an expert can induce the model to give
higher quality answers that it thinks an expert would write. Phrases like "Explain in detail" or
"Describe step-by-step" can be effective.

Prompt the model to write down the series of steps explaining its reasoning. If
understanding the 'why' behind an answer is important, prompt the model to include its
reasoning. This can be done by simply adding a line like "Let's think step by step" before
each answer.

How to count tokens with tiktoken


Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Dec 15, 2022

tiktoken is a fast open-source tokenizer by OpenAI.

Given a text string (e.g., "tiktoken is great!" ) and an encoding (e.g., "cl100k_base" ), a
tokenizer can split the text string into a list of tokens (e.g., ["t", "ik", "token", " is", "
great", "!"] ).

Splitting text strings into tokens is useful because GPT models see text in the form of tokens.
Knowing how many tokens are in a text string can tell you (a) whether the string is too long for
a text model to process and (b) how much an OpenAI API call costs (as usage is priced by
token).

Encodings

Encodings specify how text is converted into tokens. Different models use different encodings.

tiktoken supports three encodings used by OpenAI models:

Encoding name OpenAI models

cl100k_base gpt-4 , gpt-3.5-turbo , text-embedding-ada-002 , text-embedding-3-small , text-


embedding-3-large

p50k_base Codex models, text-davinci-002 , text-davinci-003

r50k_base (or GPT-3 models like davinci


gpt2 )

You can retrieve the encoding for a model using tiktoken.encoding_for_model() as follows:
encoding = tiktoken.encoding_for_model('gpt-3.5-turbo')

Note that p50k_base overlaps substantially with r50k_base , and for non-code applications,
they will usually give the same tokens.

Tokenizer libraries by language

For cl100k_base and p50k_base encodings:

Python: tiktoken

.NET / C#: SharpToken, TiktokenSharp

Java: jtokkit

Golang: tiktoken-go

Rust: tiktoken-rs

For r50k_base ( gpt2 ) encodings, tokenizers are available in many languages.

Python: tiktoken (or alternatively GPT2TokenizerFast)

JavaScript: gpt-3-encoder

.NET / C#: GPT Tokenizer

Java: gpt2-tokenizer-java

PHP: GPT-3-Encoder-PHP

Golang: tiktoken-go

Rust: tiktoken-rs

(OpenAI makes no endorsements or guarantees of third-party libraries.)

How strings are typically tokenized

In English, tokens commonly range in length from one character to one word (e.g., "t" or "
great" ), though in some languages tokens can be shorter than one character or longer than
one word. Spaces are usually grouped with the starts of words (e.g., " is" instead of "is " or
" " + "is" ). You can quickly check how a string is tokenized at the OpenAI Tokenizer, or the
third-party Tiktokenizer webapp.

0. Install tiktoken

If needed, install tiktoken with pip :

%pip install --upgrade tiktoken


%pip install --upgrade openai

1. Import tiktoken

import tiktoken

2. Load an encoding

Use tiktoken.get_encoding() to load an encoding by name.

The first time this runs, it will require an internet connection to download. Later runs won't need
an internet connection.

encoding = tiktoken.get_encoding("cl100k_base")

Use tiktoken.encoding_for_model() to automatically load the correct encoding for a given


model name.

encoding = tiktoken.encoding_for_model("gpt-3.5-turbo")

3. Turn text into tokens with encoding.encode()

The .encode() method converts a text string into a list of token integers.
encoding.encode("tiktoken is great!")

[83, 1609, 5963, 374, 2294, 0]

Count tokens by counting the length of the list returned by .encode() .

def num_tokens_from_string(string: str, encoding_name: str) -> int:


"""Returns the number of tokens in a text string."""
encoding = tiktoken.get_encoding(encoding_name)
num_tokens = len(encoding.encode(string))
return num_tokens

num_tokens_from_string("tiktoken is great!", "cl100k_base")

4. Turn tokens into text with encoding.decode()

.decode() converts a list of token integers to a string.

encoding.decode([83, 1609, 5963, 374, 2294, 0])

'tiktoken is great!'

Warning: although .decode() can be applied to single tokens, beware that it can be lossy for
tokens that aren't on utf-8 boundaries.

For single tokens, .decode_single_token_bytes() safely converts a single integer token to the
bytes it represents.

[encoding.decode_single_token_bytes(token) for token in [83, 1609, 5963, 374, 2294, 0]]


[b't', b'ik', b'token', b' is', b' great', b'!']

(The b in front of the strings indicates that the strings are byte strings.)

5. Comparing encodings

Different encodings vary in how they split words, group spaces, and handle non-English
characters. Using the methods above, we can compare different encodings on a few example
strings.

def compare_encodings(example_string: str) -> None:


"""Prints a comparison of three string encodings."""
# print the example string
print(f'\nExample string: "{example_string}"')
# for each encoding, print the # of tokens, the token integers, and the token bytes
for encoding_name in ["r50k_base", "p50k_base", "cl100k_base"]:
encoding = tiktoken.get_encoding(encoding_name)
token_integers = encoding.encode(example_string)
num_tokens = len(token_integers)
token_bytes = [encoding.decode_single_token_bytes(token) for token in token_integers]
print()
print(f"{encoding_name}: {num_tokens} tokens")
print(f"token integers: {token_integers}")
print(f"token bytes: {token_bytes}")

compare_encodings("antidisestablishmentarianism")

Example string: "antidisestablishmentarianism"

r50k_base: 5 tokens
token integers: [415, 29207, 44390, 3699, 1042]
token bytes: [b'ant', b'idis', b'establishment', b'arian', b'ism']

p50k_base: 5 tokens
token integers: [415, 29207, 44390, 3699, 1042]
token bytes: [b'ant', b'idis', b'establishment', b'arian', b'ism']

cl100k_base: 6 tokens
token integers: [519, 85342, 34500, 479, 8997, 2191]
token bytes: [b'ant', b'idis', b'establish', b'ment', b'arian', b'ism']
compare_encodings("2 + 2 = 4")

Example string: "2 + 2 = 4"

r50k_base: 5 tokens
token integers: [17, 1343, 362, 796, 604]
token bytes: [b'2', b' +', b' 2', b' =', b' 4']

p50k_base: 5 tokens
token integers: [17, 1343, 362, 796, 604]
token bytes: [b'2', b' +', b' 2', b' =', b' 4']

cl100k_base: 7 tokens
token integers: [17, 489, 220, 17, 284, 220, 19]
token bytes: [b'2', b' +', b' ', b'2', b' =', b' ', b'4']

compare_encodings("お誕生日おめでとう")

Example string: "お誕生日おめでとう"

r50k_base: 14 tokens
token integers: [2515, 232, 45739, 243, 37955, 33768, 98, 2515, 232, 1792, 223, 30640, 30201, 2
token bytes: [b'\xe3\x81', b'\x8a', b'\xe8\xaa', b'\x95', b'\xe7\x94\x9f', b'\xe6\x97', b'\xa5'

p50k_base: 14 tokens
token integers: [2515, 232, 45739, 243, 37955, 33768, 98, 2515, 232, 1792, 223, 30640, 30201, 2
token bytes: [b'\xe3\x81', b'\x8a', b'\xe8\xaa', b'\x95', b'\xe7\x94\x9f', b'\xe6\x97', b'\xa5'

cl100k_base: 9 tokens
token integers: [33334, 45918, 243, 21990, 9080, 33334, 62004, 16556, 78699]
token bytes: [b'\xe3\x81\x8a', b'\xe8\xaa', b'\x95', b'\xe7\x94\x9f', b'\xe6\x97\xa5', b'\xe3\x

6. Counting tokens for chat completions API calls

ChatGPT models like gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4 use tokens in the same way as older
completions models, but because of their message-based formatting, it's more difficult to count
how many tokens will be used by a conversation.

Below is an example function for counting tokens for messages passed to gpt-3.5-turbo or
gpt-4 .
Note that the exact way that tokens are counted from messages may change from model to
model. Consider the counts from the function below an estimate, not a timeless guarantee.

In particular, requests that use the optional functions input will consume extra tokens on top of
the estimates calculated below.

def num_tokens_from_messages(messages, model="gpt-3.5-turbo-0613"):


"""Return the number of tokens used by a list of messages."""
try:
encoding = tiktoken.encoding_for_model(model)
except KeyError:
print("Warning: model not found. Using cl100k_base encoding.")
encoding = tiktoken.get_encoding("cl100k_base")
if model in {

tokens_per_message = 4 # every message follows <|start|>{role/name}\n{content}<|end|>\n
tokens_per_name = -1 # if there's a name, the role is omitted

What's new with DALL·E-3?


Will Depue
Open in Github
Nov 5, 2023

DALL·E-3 is the latest version of our DALL-E text-to-image generation models. As the current
state of the art in text-to-image generation, DALL·E is capable of generating high-quality
images across a wide variety of domains. If you're interested in more technical details of how
DALL·E-3 was built, you can read more about in our research paper. I'll be going over some of
the new features and capabilities of DALL·E-3 in this article, as well as some examples of what
new products you can build with the API.

As a reminder, the Image generation API hasn't changed and maintains the same endpoints and
formatting as with DALL·E-2. If you're looking for a guide on how to use the Image API, see the
Cookbook article on the subject.

The only API endpoint available for use with DALL·E-3 right now is Generations
(/v1/images/generations). We don’t support variations or inpainting yet, though the Edits and
Variations endpoints are available for use with DALL·E-2.

Generations

The generation API endpoint creates an image based on a text prompt. There’s a couple new
parameters that we've added to enhance what you can create with our models. Here’s a quick
overview of the options:

New parameters:

model (‘dall-e-2’ or ‘dall-e-3’): This is the model you’re generating with. Be careful to set it
to ‘dall-e-3’ as it defaults to ‘dall-e-2’ if empty.
style (‘natural’ or ‘vivid’): The style of the generated images. Must be one of vivid or natural.
Vivid causes the model to lean towards generating hyper-real and dramatic images. Natural
causes the model to produce more natural, less hyper-real looking images. Defaults to
‘vivid’.

quality (‘standard’ or ‘hd’): The quality of the image that will be generated. ‘hd’ creates
images with finer details and greater consistency across the image. Defaults to ‘standard’.

Other parameters:

prompt (str): A text description of the desired image(s). The maximum length is 1000
characters. Required field.

n (int): The number of images to generate. Must be between 1 and 10. Defaults to 1. For
dall-e-3, only n=1 is supported.

size (...): The size of the generated images. Must be one of 256x256, 512x512, or 1024x1024
for DALL·E-2 models. Must be one of 1024x1024, 1792x1024, or 1024x1792 for DALL·E-3
models.

response_format ('url' or 'b64_json'): The format in which the generated images are
returned. Must be one of "url" or "b64_json". Defaults to "url".

user (str): A unique identifier representing your end-user, which will help OpenAI to
monitor and detect abuse. Learn more.

New Features

Our launch of DALL·E-3 comes with lots of new features and capabilities to help you generate
the images you want. Here’s a quick overview of what’s new:

Prompt Rewriting

A new feature in the latest DALL·E-3 API is prompt rewriting, where we use GPT-4 to optimize all
of your prompts before they’re passed to DALL-E. In our research, we’ve seen that using very
detailed prompts give significantly better results. You can read more about our captioning,
prompting, and safety mitigations in the DALL·E-3 research paper.
Keep in mind that this feature isn’t able to be disabled at the moment, though you can achieve a
high level of fidelity by simply giving instructions to the relabeler in your prompt, as I'll show
below with examples.

Standard vs HD Quality

DALL·E-3 introduces a new 'quality' parameter that allows you to adjust the level of detail and
organization in all of your generations. The 'standard' quality generations are the DALL·E-3
you're familiar with, with 'hd' generations bringing a new level of attention to detail and
adherence to your prompt. Keep in mind that setting your generation quality to ‘hd’ does
increase the cost per image, as well as often increasing the time it takes to generate by ~10
seconds or so.
For example, here we have two different icons in 'hd' and 'standard' quality. Often the choice
between either quality is up to taste, but 'hd' often wins when the task requires more ability to
capture details and textures or better composition of a scene.

Here's another example, this time with a prompt of 'An infinite, uniform grid of tessellated
cubes.', which DALL·E conveniently rewrites as "An infinite, uniform grid of tessellated cubes
painted carefully in an isometric perspective. The cubes are meticulously arranged in such a way
that they seem to stretch endlessly into the distance. Each cube is identical to the next, with light
reflecting consistently across all surfaces, underscoring their uniformity. This is a digitally rendered
image.":

New Sizes
DALL·E-3 accepts three different image sizes: 1024px by 1024px, 1792px by 1024px, and 1024px
by 1792px. Beyond giving more flexibility in terms of aspect ratio, these sizes can have
significant effects on the style and context of your generated image. For example, vertical
images might work better when you’re looking for an image that looks like it was taken by a
cellphone camera, or horizontal images may work better for landscape paintings or digital
designs.

To demonstrate this difference, here’s multiple variations on the same input prompt with a
different aspect ratio. In this case, my prompt was: “Professional photoshoot of a Chemex
brewer in the process of brewing coffee.” (For reference, this is a photo of a real Chemex
brewer).
Here is the generation in square form (in both HD and standard qualities):

You can see how these images are framed closely to the item and seem to be taken in a more
closed space with various surrounding items nearby.

Here are the results on the same prompts with a wider aspect ratio:

Compared to the previous generations, these come in the form of close-ups. The background is
blurred, with greater focus on the item itself, more like professionally organized photoshoots
rather than quick snaps.
Lastly, we have the vertical aspect ratio:

These feel more akin to cellphone images, with a more candid appearance. There’s more action
involved: the slowly dripping coffee or the active pour from the pot.

New Styles
DALL·E-3 introduces two new styles: natural and vivid. The natural style is more similar to the
DALL·E-2 style in its 'blander' realism, while the vivid style is a new style that leans towards
generating hyper-real and cinematic images. For reference, all DALL·E generations in ChatGPT
are generated in the 'vivid' style.
The natural style is specifically useful in cases where DALL·E-3 over-exaggerates or confuses a
subject that's supposed to be more simple, subdued, or realistic. I've often used it for logo
generation, stock photos, or other cases where I'm trying to match a real-world object.

Here's an example of the same prompt as above in the vivid style. The vivid is far more
cinematic (and looks great), but might pop too much if you're not looking for that.

There's many cases in which I prefer the natural style, such as this example of a painting in the
style of Thomas Cole's 'Desolation':
Examples and Prompts

To help you get started building with DALL·E-3, I've come up with a few examples of products
you could build with the API, as well as collected some styles and capabilities that seem to be
unique to DALL·E-3 at the moment. I've also listed some subjects that I'm struggling to prompt
DALL·E-3 to generate in case you want to try your hand at it.

Icon Generation

Have you ever struggled to find the perfect icon for your website or app? It would be awesome
to see a custom icon generator app that lets you pick the style, size, and subject of your icon,
and then generates a custom SVG from the DALL·E generation. Here's some examples of helpful
website icons I generated with DALL·E-3:
In this case, I used Potrace to convert the images to SVGs, which you can download here. This is
what I used to convert the images:

potrace -s cat.jpg -o cat.svg

You might need to boost the brightness and contrast of the image before converting it to an
SVG. I used the following command to do so:

convert cat.jpg -brightness-contrast 50x50 cat.jpg

Logo Generation

DALL·E-3 is great at jumpstarting the logo creation process for your company or product. By
prompting DALL·E to create 'Vector logo design of a Greek statue, minimalistic, with a white
background' I achieved the following:
Here's another logo I created, this time for an Arabian coffee shop:
In the case of iterating on an existing logo, I took OpenAI's logo, asked GPT-4V to describe it,
and then asked DALL·E to generate variations on the logo:

Custom Tattoos
DALL·E-3 is great at generating line art, which might be useful for generating custom tattoos.
Here's some line art I generated with DALL·E-3:

Die-Cut Stickers & T-Shirts


What if you could generate custom die-cut stickers and t-shirts with DALL·E-3, integrating with a
print-on-demand service like Printful or Stickermule? You could have a custom sticker or t-shirt
in minutes, with no design experience required. Here's some examples of stickers I generated
with DALL·E-3:
Minecraft Skins
With some difficulty, I managed to prompt DALL·E-3 to generate Minecraft skins. I'm sure with
some clever prompting you could get DALL·E-3 to reliably generate incredible Minecraft skins. It
might be hard to use the words 'Minecraft' since DALL·E might think you are trying to generate
content from the game itself, instead, you can communicate the idea differently: "Flat player
skin texture of a ninja skin, compatible with Minecraftskins.com or Planet Minecraft."

Here's what I managed to create. They might need some work, but I think they're a good start:
And much more...
Here's some ideas I've had that I haven't had time to try yet:
Custom emojis or Twitch emotes?

Vector illustrations?

Personalized Bitmoji-style avatars?

Album art?

Custom greeting cards?

Poster/flyer 'pair-programming' with DALL·E?

Showcase

We're really just starting to figure out what DALL·E-3 is capable of. Here's some of the best
styles, generations, and prompts I've seen so far. I've been unable to locate the original authors
of some of these images, so if you know who created them, please let me know!

Challenges

DALL·E-3 is still very new and there's still a lot of things it struggles with (or maybe I just haven't
figured out how to prompt it correctly yet). Here's some challenges which you might want to try
your hand at:

Web Design
DALL·E really struggles at generating real looking websites, apps, etc. and often generates what
looks like a portfolio page of a web designer. Here's the best I've gotten so far:

Seamless Textures

It feels like DALL·E-3 is so close to being able to generate seamless textures. Often they come
out great, just slightly cutoff or with a few artifacts. See examples below:
Fonts
Using DALL·E to generate custom fonts or iterate on letter designs could be really cool, but I
haven't been able to get it to work yet. Here's the best I've gotten so far:

Assistants API Overview (Python SDK)


Ilan Bigio
Open in Github
Nov 9, 2023

The new Assistants API is a stateful evolution of our Chat Completions API meant to simplify
the creation of assistant-like experiences, and enable developer access to powerful tools like
Code Interpreter and Retrieval.

Chat Completions API vs Assistants API

The primitives of the Chat Completions API are Messages , on which you perform a Completion
with a Model ( gpt-3.5-turbo , gpt-4 , etc). It is lightweight and powerful, but inherently
stateless, which means you have to manage conversation state, tool definitions, retrieval
documents, and code execution manually.

The primitives of the Assistants API are

Assistants , which encapsulate a base model, instructions, tools, and (context) documents,
Threads , which represent the state of a conversation, and

Runs , which power the execution of an Assistant on a Thread , including textual


responses and multi-step tool use.

We'll take a look at how these can be used to create powerful, stateful experiences.

Setup

Python SDK

“Note We've updated our Python SDK to add support for the Assistants API, so you'll need
to update it to the latest version ( 1.2.3 at time of writing).”

!pip install --upgrade openai

And make sure it's up to date by running:

!pip show openai | grep Version

Version: 1.2.3

Pretty Printing Helper

import json

def show_json(obj):
display(json.loads(obj.model_dump_json()))

Complete Example with Assistants API

Assistants

The easiest way to get started with the Assistants API is through the Assistants Playground.
Let's begin by creating an assistant! We'll create a Math Tutor just like in our docs.
You can view Assistants you've created in the Assistants Dashboard.

You can also create Assistants directly through the Assistants API, like so:

from openai import OpenAI


import os

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
name="Math Tutor",
instructions="You are a personal math tutor. Answer questions briefly, in a sentence or less.",
model="gpt-4-1106-preview",
)
show_json(assistant)

{'id': 'asst_9HAjl9y41ufsViNcThW1EXUS',
'created_at': 1699828331,
'description': None,
'file_ids': [],
'instructions': 'You are a personal math tutor. Answer questions briefly, in a sentence or les
'metadata': {},
'model': 'gpt-4-1106-preview',
'name': 'Math Tutor',
'object': 'assistant',
'tools': []}

Regardless of whether you create your Assistant through the Dashboard or with the API, you'll
want to keep track of the Assistant ID. This is how you'll refer to your Assistant throughout
Threads and Runs.

Next, we'll create a new Thread and add a Message to it. This will hold the state of our
conversation, so we don't have re-send the entire message history each time.

Threads

Create a new thread:

thread = client.beta.threads.create()
show_json(thread)

{'id': 'thread_bw42vPoQtYBMQE84WubNcJXG',
'created_at': 1699828331,
'metadata': {},
'object': 'thread'}

Then add the Message to the thread:

message = client.beta.threads.messages.create(
thread_id=thread.id,
role="user",
content="I need to solve the equation `3x + 11 = 14`. Can you help me?",
)
show_json(message)

{'id': 'msg_IBiZDAWHhWPewxzN0EfTYNew',
'assistant_id': None,
'content': [{'text': {'annotations': [],
'value': 'I need to solve the equation `3x + 11 = 14`. Can you help me?'},
'type': 'text'}],
'created_at': 1699828332,
'file_ids': [],
'metadata': {},
'object': 'thread.message',
'role': 'user',
'run_id': None,
'thread_id': 'thread_bw42vPoQtYBMQE84WubNcJXG'}

“Note Even though you're no longer sending the entire history each time, you will still be
charged for the tokens of the entire conversation history with each Run.”

Runs
Notice how the Thread we created is not associated with the Assistant we created earlier!
Threads exist independently from Assistants, which may be different from what you'd expect if
you've used ChatGPT (where a thread is tied to a model/GPT).

To get a completion from an Assistant for a given Thread, we must create a Run. Creating a Run
will indicate to an Assistant it should look at the messages in the Thread and take action: either
by adding a single response, or using tools.

“Note Runs are a key difference between the Assistants API and Chat Completions API.
While in Chat Completions the model will only ever respond with a single message, in the
Assistants API a Run may result in an Assistant using one or multiple tools, and potentially
adding multiple messages to the Thread.”

To get our Assistant to respond to the user, let's create the Run. As mentioned earlier, you must
specify both the Assistant and the Thread.

run = client.beta.threads.runs.create(
thread_id=thread.id,
assistant_id=assistant.id,
)
show_json(run)

{'id': 'run_LA08RjouV3RemQ78UZXuyzv6',
'assistant_id': 'asst_9HAjl9y41ufsViNcThW1EXUS',
'cancelled_at': None,
'completed_at': None,
'created_at': 1699828332,
'expires_at': 1699828932,
'failed_at': None,
'file_ids': [],
'instructions': 'You are a personal math tutor. Answer questions briefly, in a sentence or les
'last_error': None,
'metadata': {},
'model': 'gpt-4-1106-preview',
'object': 'thread.run',
'required_action': None,
'started_at': None,
'status': 'queued',
'thread_id': 'thread_bw42vPoQtYBMQE84WubNcJXG',
'tools': []}

Unlike creating a completion in the Chat Completions API, creating a Run is an asynchronous
operation. It will return immediately with the Run's metadata, which includes a status that will
initially be set to queued . The status will be updated as the Assistant performs operations
(like using tools and adding messages).

To know when the Assistant has completed processing, we can poll the Run in a loop. (Support
for streaming is coming soon!) While here we are only checking for a queued or in_progress
status, in practice a Run may undergo a variety of status changes which you can choose to
surface to the user. (These are called Steps, and will be covered later.)

import time

def wait_on_run(run, thread):


while run.status == "queued" or run.status == "in_progress":
run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(
thread_id=thread.id,
run_id=run.id,
)
time.sleep(0.5)
return run

run = wait_on_run(run, thread)


show_json(run)

{'id': 'run_LA08RjouV3RemQ78UZXuyzv6',
'assistant_id': 'asst_9HAjl9y41ufsViNcThW1EXUS',
'cancelled_at': None,
'completed_at': 1699828333,
'created_at': 1699828332,
'expires_at': None,
'failed_at': None,
'file_ids': [],
'instructions': 'You are a personal math tutor. Answer questions briefly, in a sentence or les
'last_error': None,
'metadata': {},
'model': 'gpt-4-1106-preview',
'object': 'thread.run',
'required_action': None,
'started_at': 1699828332,
'status': 'completed',
'thread_id': 'thread_bw42vPoQtYBMQE84WubNcJXG',
'tools': []}

Messages

Now that the Run has completed, we can list the Messages in the Thread to see what got added
by the Assistant.

messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(thread_id=thread.id)
show_json(messages)

{'data': [{'id': 'msg_S0ZtKIWjyWtbIW9JNUocPdUS',


'assistant_id': 'asst_9HAjl9y41ufsViNcThW1EXUS',
'content': [{'text': {'annotations': [],
'value': 'Yes. Subtract 11 from both sides to get `3x = 3`, then divide by 3 to find `x =
'type': 'text'}],
'created_at': 1699828333,
'file_ids': [],
'metadata': {},
'object': 'thread.message',
'role': 'assistant',
'run_id': 'run_LA08RjouV3RemQ78UZXuyzv6',
'thread_id': 'thread_bw42vPoQtYBMQE84WubNcJXG'},
{'id': 'msg_IBiZDAWHhWPewxzN0EfTYNew',
'assistant_id': None,
'content': [{'text': {'annotations': [],
'value': 'I need to solve the equation `3x + 11 = 14`. Can you help me?'},
'type': 'text'}],
'created_at': 1699828332,
'file_ids': [],
'metadata': {},
'object': 'thread.message',
'role': 'user',
'run_id': None,
'thread_id': 'thread_bw42vPoQtYBMQE84WubNcJXG'}],
'object': 'list',
'first_id': 'msg_S0ZtKIWjyWtbIW9JNUocPdUS',
'last_id': 'msg_IBiZDAWHhWPewxzN0EfTYNew',
'has_more': False}

As you can see, Messages are ordered in reverse-chronological order – this was done so the
most recent results are always on the first page (since results can be paginated). Do keep a
look out for this, since this is the opposite order to messages in the Chat Completions API.
Let's ask our Assistant to explain the result a bit further!

# Create a message to append to our thread


message = client.beta.threads.messages.create(
thread_id=thread.id, role="user", content="Could you explain this to me?"
)

# Execute our run


run = client.beta.threads.runs.create(
thread_id=thread.id,
assistant_id=assistant.id,
)

# Wait for completion


wait_on_run(run, thread)

# Retrieve all the messages added after our last user message
messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(
thread_id=thread.id, order="asc", after=message.id
)
show_json(messages)

{'data': [{'id': 'msg_9MAeOrGriHcImeQnAzvYyJbs',


'assistant_id': 'asst_9HAjl9y41ufsViNcThW1EXUS',
'content': [{'text': {'annotations': [],
'value': 'Certainly. To solve for x in the equation `3x + 11 = 14`:\n\n1. Subtract 11 fro
'type': 'text'}],
'created_at': 1699828335,
'file_ids': [],
'metadata': {},
'object': 'thread.message',
'role': 'assistant',
'run_id': 'run_IFHfsubkJv7RSUbDZpNVs4PG',
'thread_id': 'thread_bw42vPoQtYBMQE84WubNcJXG'}],
'object': 'list',
'first_id': 'msg_9MAeOrGriHcImeQnAzvYyJbs',
'last_id': 'msg_9MAeOrGriHcImeQnAzvYyJbs',
'has_more': False}

This may feel like a lot of steps to get a response back, especially for this simple example.
However, you'll soon see how we can add very powerful functionality to our Assistant without
changing much code at all!

Example

Let's take a look at how we could potentially put all of this together. Below is all the code you
need to use an Assistant you've created.
Since we've already created our Math Assistant, I've saved its ID in MATH_ASSISTANT_ID . I then
defined two functions:

submit_message : create a Message on a Thread, then start (and return) a new Run

get_response : returns the list of Messages in a Thread

from openai import OpenAI

MATH_ASSISTANT_ID = assistant.id # or a hard-coded ID like "asst-..."

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

def submit_message(assistant_id, thread, user_message):


client.beta.threads.messages.create(
thread_id=thread.id, role="user", content=user_message
)
return client.beta.threads.runs.create(
thread_id=thread.id,
assistant_id=assistant_id,
)

def get_response(thread):
return client.beta.threads.messages.list(thread_id=thread.id, order="asc")

I've also defined a create_thread_and_run function that I can re-use (which is actually almost
identical to the client.beta.threads.create_and_run compound function in our API ;) ). Finally,
we can submit our mock user requests each to a new Thread.

Notice how all of these API calls are asynchronous operations; this means we actually get async
behavior in our code without the use of async libraries! (e.g. asyncio )

def create_thread_and_run(user_input):
thread = client.beta.threads.create()
run = submit_message(MATH_ASSISTANT_ID, thread, user_input)
return thread, run

# Emulating concurrent user requests


thread1, run1 = create_thread_and_run(
"I need to solve the equation `3x + 11 = 14`. Can you help me?"
)
thread2, run2 = create_thread_and_run("Could you explain linear algebra to me?")
thread3, run3 = create_thread_and_run("I don't like math. What can I do?")

# Now all Runs are executing...


Once all Runs are going, we can wait on each and get the responses.

import time

# Pretty printing helper


def pretty_print(messages):
print("# Messages")
for m in messages:
print(f"{m.role}: {m.content[0].text.value}")
print()

# Waiting in a loop
def wait_on_run(run, thread):
while run.status == "queued" or run.status == "in_progress":
run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(
thread_id=thread.id,
run_id=run.id,
)
time.sleep(0.5)
return run

# Wait for Run 1


run1 = wait_on_run(run1, thread1)
pretty_print(get_response(thread1))

# Wait for Run 2


run2 = wait_on_run(run2, thread2)
pretty_print(get_response(thread2))

# Wait for Run 3


run3 = wait_on_run(run3, thread3)
pretty_print(get_response(thread3))

# Thank our assistant on Thread 3 :)


run4 = submit_message(MATH_ASSISTANT_ID, thread3, "Thank you!")
run4 = wait_on_run(run4, thread3)
pretty_print(get_response(thread3))

# Messages
user: I need to solve the equation `3x + 11 = 14`. Can you help me?
assistant: Yes, subtract 11 from both sides to get `3x = 3`, then divide both sides by 3 to fin

# Messages
user: Could you explain linear algebra to me?
assistant: Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics that deals with vector spaces, linear eq

# Messages
user: I don't like math. What can I do?
assistant: Try finding aspects of math that relate to your interests or daily life, and conside

# Messages
user: I don't like math. What can I do?
assistant: Try finding aspects of math that relate to your interests or daily life, and conside
user: Thank you!
assistant: You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Et voilà!

You may have noticed that this code is not actually specific to our math Assistant at all... this
code will work for any new Assistant you create simply by changing the Assistant ID! That is the
power of the Assistants API.

Tools

A key feature of the Assistants API is the ability to equip our Assistants with Tools, like Code
Interpreter, Retrieval, and custom Functions. Let's take a look at each.

Code Interpreter
Let's equip our Math Tutor with the Code Interpreter tool, which we can do from the
Dashboard...
...or the API, using the Assistant ID.

assistant = client.beta.assistants.update(
MATH_ASSISTANT_ID,
tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}],
)
show_json(assistant)

'metadata': {},
'model': 'gpt-4-1106-preview',
'name': 'Math Tutor',
'object': 'assistant',
'tools': [{'type': 'code_interpreter'}]}

Now, let's ask the Assistant to use its new tool.

thread, run = create_thread_and_run(


"Generate the first 20 fibbonaci numbers with code."
)
run = wait_on_run(run, thread)
pretty_print(get_response(thread))

# Messages
user: Generate the first 20 fibbonaci numbers with code.
assistant: The first 20 Fibonacci numbers are: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 23

And that's it! The Assistant used Code Interpreter in the background, and gave us a final
response.

For some use cases this may be enough – however, if we want more details on what precisely an
Assistant is doing we can take a look at a Run's Steps.

Steps
A Run is composed of one or more Steps. Like a Run, each Step has a status that you can
query. This is useful for surfacing the progress of a Step to a user (e.g. a spinner while the
Assistant is writing code or performing retrieval).

run_steps = client.beta.threads.runs.steps.list(
thread_id=thread.id, run_id=run.id, order="asc"
)

Let's take a look at each Step's step_details .

for step in run_steps.data:


step_details = step.step_details
print(json.dumps(show_json(step_details), indent=4))

{'tool_calls': [{'id': 'call_WMNqd63PtX8vZzTwaA6eWpBg',


'code_interpreter': {'input': '# Python function to generate the first 20 Fibonacci numbers\
'outputs': [{'logs': '[0,\n 1,\n 1,\n 2,\n 3,\n 5,\n 8,\n 13,\n 21,\n 34,\n 55,\n 89,\n 144
'type': 'logs'}]},
'type': 'code_interpreter'}],
'type': 'tool_calls'}

null

{'message_creation': {'message_id': 'msg_z593lE5bvcD6BngeDFHDxzwm'},


'type': 'message_creation'}

null

We can see the step_details for two Steps:

1. tool_calls (plural, since it could be more than one in a single Step)

2. message_creation

The first Step is a tool_calls , specifically using the code_interpreter which contains:

input , which was the Python code generated before the tool was called, and
output , which was the result of running the Code Interpreter.

The second Step is a message_creation , which contains the message that was added to the
Thread to communicate the results to the user.

Retrieval
Another powerful tool in the Assistants API is Retrieval: the ability to upload files that the
Assistant will use as a knowledge base when answering questions. This can also be enabled
from the Dashboard or the API, where we can upload files we want to be used.

# Upload the file


file = client.files.create(
file=open(
"data/language_models_are_unsupervised_multitask_learners.pdf",
"rb",
),
purpose="assistants",
)
# Update Assistant
assistant = client.beta.assistants.update(
MATH_ASSISTANT_ID,
tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}, {"type": "retrieval"}],
file_ids=[file.id],
)
show_json(assistant)

{'id': 'asst_9HAjl9y41ufsViNcThW1EXUS',
'created_at': 1699828331,
'description': None,
'file_ids': ['file-MdXcQI8OdPp76wukWI4dpLwW'],
'instructions': 'You are a personal math tutor. Answer questions briefly, in a sentence or les
'metadata': {},
'model': 'gpt-4-1106-preview',
'name': 'Math Tutor',
'object': 'assistant',
'tools': [{'type': 'code_interpreter'}, {'type': 'retrieval'}]}

thread, run = create_thread_and_run(


"What are some cool math concepts behind this ML paper pdf? Explain in two sentences."
)
run = wait_on_run(run, thread)
pretty_print(get_response(thread))

# Messages
user: What are some cool math concepts behind this ML paper pdf? Explain in two sentences.
assistant: I am unable to find specific sections referring to "cool math concepts" directly in
assistant: The paper discusses leveraging large language models as a framework for unsupervised

“Note There are more intricacies in Retrieval, like Annotations, which may be covered in
another cookbook.”

Functions
As a final powerful tool for your Assistant, you can specify custom Functions (much like the
Function Calling in the Chat Completions API). During a Run, the Assistant can then indicate it
wants to call one or more functions you specified. You are then responsible for calling the
Function, and providing the output back to the Assistant.

Let's take a look at an example by defining a display_quiz() Function for our Math Tutor.
This function will take a title and an array of question s, display the quiz, and get input from
the user for each:

title

questions

question_text

question_type : [ MULTIPLE_CHOICE , FREE_RESPONSE ]

choices : ["choice 1", "choice 2", ...]

Unfortunately I don't know how to get user input within a Python Notebook, so I'll be mocking
out responses with get_mock_response... . This is where you'd get the user's actual input.

def get_mock_response_from_user_multiple_choice():
return "a"

def get_mock_response_from_user_free_response():
return "I don't know."

def display_quiz(title, questions):


print("Quiz:", title)
print()
responses = []

for q in questions:
print(q["question_text"])
response = ""

# If multiple choice, print options


if q["question_type"] == "MULTIPLE_CHOICE":
for i, choice in enumerate(q["choices"]):
print(f"{i}. {choice}")
response = get_mock_response_from_user_multiple_choice()

# Otherwise, just get response


elif q["question_type"] == "FREE_RESPONSE":
response = get_mock_response_from_user_free_response()

responses.append(response)
print()

return responses

Here's what a sample quiz would look like:


responses = display_quiz(
"Sample Quiz",
[
{"question_text": "What is your name?", "question_type": "FREE_RESPONSE"},
{
"question_text": "What is your favorite color?",
"question_type": "MULTIPLE_CHOICE",
"choices": ["Red", "Blue", "Green", "Yellow"],
},
],
)
print("Responses:", responses)

Quiz: Sample Quiz

What is your name?

What is your favorite color?


0. Red
1. Blue
2. Green
3. Yellow

Responses: ["I don't know.", 'a']

Now, let's define the interface of this function in JSON format, so our Assistant can call it:

function_json = {
"name": "display_quiz",
"description": "Displays a quiz to the student, and returns the student's response. A single quiz
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"title": {"type": "string"},
"questions": {
"type": "array",
"description": "An array of questions, each with a title and potentially options (if
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"question_text": {"type": "string"},
"question_type": {
"type": "string",
"enum": ["MULTIPLE_CHOICE", "FREE_RESPONSE"],
},
"choices": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}},
},
"required": ["question_text"],
},
},
},
"required": ["title", "questions"],
},
}

Once again, let's update out Assistant either through the Dashboard or the API.

“Note Pasting the function JSON into the Dashboard was a bit finicky due to indentation,
etc. I just asked ChatGPT to format my function the same as one of the examples on the
Dashboard :).”

assistant = client.beta.assistants.update(
MATH_ASSISTANT_ID,
tools=[
{"type": "code_interpreter"},
{"type": "retrieval"},
{"type": "function", "function": function_json},
],
)
show_json(assistant)

And now, we ask for a quiz.

run = wait_on_run(run, thread)
run.status

Now, however, when we check the Run's status we see requires_action ! Let's take a closer.

show_json(run)

The required_action field indicates a Tool is waiting for us to run it and submit its output back
to the Assistant. Specifically, the display_quiz function! Let's start by parsing the name and
arguments .

“Note While in this case we know there is only one Tool call, in practice the Assistant may
choose to call multiple tools.”

# Extract single tool call


tool_call = run.required_action.submit_tool_outputs.tool_calls[0]
name = tool_call.function.name
arguments = json.loads(tool_call.function.arguments)

print("Function Name:", name)


print("Function Arguments:")
arguments

Function Name: display_quiz


Function Arguments:

{'title': 'Mathematics Quiz',


'questions': [{'question_text': 'Explain why the square root of a negative number is not a rea
'question_type': 'FREE_RESPONSE'},
{'question_text': 'What is the value of an angle in a regular pentagon?',
'choices': ['72 degrees', '90 degrees', '108 degrees', '120 degrees'],
'question_type': 'MULTIPLE_CHOICE'}]}
Now let's actually call our display_quiz function with the arguments provided by the Assistant:

responses = display_quiz(arguments["title"], arguments["questions"])


print("Responses:", responses)

Quiz: Mathematics Quiz

Explain why the square root of a negative number is not a real number.

What is the value of an angle in a regular pentagon?


0. 72 degrees
1. 90 degrees
2. 108 degrees
3. 120 degrees

Responses: ["I don't know.", 'a']

Great! (Remember these responses are the one's we mocked earlier. In reality, we'd be getting
input from the back from this function call.)

Now that we have our responses, let's submit them back to the Assistant. We'll need the
tool_call ID, found in the tool_call we parsed out earlier. We'll also need to encode our

list of responses into a str .

run = client.beta.threads.runs.submit_tool_outputs(
thread_id=thread.id,
run_id=run.id,
tool_outputs=[
{
"tool_call_id": tool_call.id,

Woohoo 🎉
Conclusion

We covered a lot of ground in this notebook, give yourself a high-five! Hopefully you should
now have a strong foundation to build powerful, stateful experiences with tools like Code
Interpreter, Retrieval, and Functions!

There's a few sections we didn't cover for the sake of brevity, so here's a few resources to
explore further:
Annotations: parsing file citations

Files: Thread scoped vs Assistant scoped

Parallel Function Calls: calling multiple tools in a single Step

Multi-Assistant Thread Runs: single Thread with Messages from multiple Assistants

Streaming: coming soon!

Now go off and build something amazing!

Code search using embeddings


Boris Power, Logan Kilpatrick, Eli Salamie
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

This notebook shows how Ada embeddings can be used to implement semantic code search.
For this demonstration, we use our own openai-python code repository. We implement a
simple version of file parsing and extracting of functions from python files, which can be
embedded, indexed, and queried.

Helper Functions
We first setup some simple parsing functions that allow us to extract important information
from our codebase.

import pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path

DEF_PREFIXES = ['def ', 'async def ']


NEWLINE = '\n'

def get_function_name(code):
"""
Extract function name from a line beginning with 'def' or 'async def'.
"""
for prefix in DEF_PREFIXES:
if code.startswith(prefix):
return code[len(prefix): code.index('(')]

def get_until_no_space(all_lines, i):


"""
Get all lines until a line outside the function definition is found.
"""
ret = [all_lines[i]]
for j in range(i + 1, len(all_lines)):
if len(all_lines[j]) == 0 or all_lines[j][0] in [' ', '\t', ')']:
ret.append(all_lines[j])
else:
break
return NEWLINE.join(ret)
def get_functions(filepath):
"""
Get all functions in a Python file.
"""
with open(filepath, 'r') as file:
all_lines = file.read().replace('\r', NEWLINE).split(NEWLINE)
for i, l in enumerate(all_lines):
for prefix in DEF_PREFIXES:
if l.startswith(prefix):
code = get_until_no_space(all_lines, i)
function_name = get_function_name(code)
yield {
'code': code,
'function_name': function_name,
'filepath': filepath,
}
break

def extract_functions_from_repo(code_root):
"""
Extract all .py functions from the repository.
"""
code_files = list(code_root.glob('**/*.py'))

num_files = len(code_files)
print(f'Total number of .py files: {num_files}')

if num_files == 0:
print('Verify openai-python repo exists and code_root is set correctly.')
return None

all_funcs = [
func
for code_file in code_files
for func in get_functions(str(code_file))
]

num_funcs = len(all_funcs)
print(f'Total number of functions extracted: {num_funcs}')

return all_funcs

Data Loading
We'll first load the openai-python folder and extract the needed information using the functions
we defined above.

# Set user root directory to the 'openai-python' repository


root_dir = Path.home()

# Assumes the 'openai-python' repository exists in the user's root directory


code_root = root_dir / 'openai-python'
# Extract all functions from the repository
all_funcs = extract_functions_from_repo(code_root)

Total number of .py files: 51


Total number of functions extracted: 97

Now that we have our content, we can pass the data to the text-embedding-3-small model
and get back our vector embeddings.

from utils.embeddings_utils import get_embedding

df = pd.DataFrame(all_funcs)
df['code_embedding'] = df['code'].apply(lambda x: get_embedding(x, model='text-embedding-3-small'))
df['filepath'] = df['filepath'].map(lambda x: Path(x).relative_to(code_root))
df.to_csv("data/code_search_openai-python.csv", index=False)
df.head()

code function_name filepath code_embedding

Testing
Let's test our endpoint with some simple queries. If you're familiar with the openai-python
repository, you'll see that we're able to easily find functions we're looking for only a simple
English description.
We define a search_functions method that takes our data that contains our embeddings, a
query string, and some other configuration options. The process of searching our database
works like such:

1. We first embed our query string (code_query) with text-embedding-3-small . The reasoning
here is that a query string like 'a function that reverses a string' and a function like 'def
reverse(string): return string[::-1]' will be very similar when embedded.

2. We then calculate the cosine similarity between our query string embedding and all data
points in our database. This gives a distance between each point and our query.

3. We finally sort all of our data points by their distance to our query string and return the
number of results requested in the function parameters.

from utils.embeddings_utils import cosine_similarity

def search_functions(df, code_query, n=3, pprint=True, n_lines=7):


embedding = get_embedding(code_query, model='text-embedding-3-small')
df['similarities'] = df.code_embedding.apply(lambda x: cosine_similarity(x, embedding))

res = df.sort_values('similarities', ascending=False).head(n)

How to stream completions


Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Sep 1, 2022

By default, when you request a completion from the OpenAI, the entire completion is generated
before being sent back in a single response.

If you're generating long completions, waiting for the response can take many seconds.

To get responses sooner, you can 'stream' the completion as it's being generated. This allows
you to start printing or processing the beginning of the completion before the full completion is
finished.

To stream completions, set stream=True when calling the chat completions or completions
endpoints. This will return an object that streams back the response as data-only server-sent
events. Extract chunks from the delta field rather than the message field.

Downsides

Note that using stream=True in a production application makes it more difficult to moderate
the content of the completions, as partial completions may be more difficult to evaluate. This
may have implications for approved usage.

Another small drawback of streaming responses is that the response no longer includes the
usage field to tell you how many tokens were consumed. After receiving and combining all of
the responses, you can calculate this yourself using tiktoken .

Example code
Below, this notebook shows:

1. What a typical chat completion response looks like

2. What a streaming chat completion response looks like

3. How much time is saved by streaming a chat completion

# !pip install openai

# imports
import time # for measuring time duration of API calls
from openai import OpenAI
import os
client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

1. What a typical chat completion response looks like

With a typical ChatCompletions API call, the response is first computed and then returned all at
once.

# Example of an OpenAI ChatCompletion request


# https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation/chat-completions-api

# record the time before the request is sent


start_time = time.time()

# send a ChatCompletion request to count to 100


response = client.chat.completions.create(
model='gpt-3.5-turbo',
messages=[
{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Count to 100, with a comma between each number and no newlines.
],
temperature=0,
)
# calculate the time it took to receive the response
response_time = time.time() - start_time

# print the time delay and text received


print(f"Full response received {response_time:.2f} seconds after request")
print(f"Full response received:\n{response}")

Full response received 5.27 seconds after request


Full response received:
ChatCompletion(id='chatcmpl-8ZB8ywkV5DuuJO7xktqUcNYfG8j6I', choices=[Choice(finish_reason='stop

The reply can be extracted with response.choices[0].message .

The content of the reply can be extracted with response.choices[0].message.content .

reply = response.choices[0].message
print(f"Extracted reply: \n{reply}")

reply_content = response.choices[0].message.content
print(f"Extracted content: \n{reply_content}")

Extracted reply:
ChatCompletionMessage(content='1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 1

2. How to stream a chat completion

With a streaming API call, the response is sent back incrementally in chunks via an event
stream. In Python, you can iterate over these events with a for loop.

Let's see what it looks like:

# Example of an OpenAI ChatCompletion request with stream=True


# https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/streaming#chat/create-stream

# a ChatCompletion request
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model='gpt-3.5-turbo',
messages=[
{'role': 'user', 'content': "What's 1+1? Answer in one word."}
],
temperature=0,
stream=True # this time, we set stream=True
)

for chunk in response:


print(chunk)
print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content)
print("****************")
ChatCompletionChunk(id='chatcmpl-8ZB9m2Ubv8FJs3CIb84WvYwqZCHST', choices=[Choice(delta=ChoiceDe

****************
ChatCompletionChunk(id='chatcmpl-8ZB9m2Ubv8FJs3CIb84WvYwqZCHST', choices=[Choice(delta=ChoiceDe
2
****************
ChatCompletionChunk(id='chatcmpl-8ZB9m2Ubv8FJs3CIb84WvYwqZCHST', choices=[Choice(delta=ChoiceDe
None
****************

As you can see above, streaming responses have a delta field rather than a message field.
delta can hold things like:

a role token (e.g., {"role": "assistant"} )

a content token (e.g., {"content": "\n\n"} )

nothing (e.g., {} ), when the stream is over

3. How much time is saved by streaming a chat completion


Now let's ask gpt-3.5-turbo to count to 100 again, and see how long it takes.

# Example of an OpenAI ChatCompletion request with stream=True


# https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/streaming#chat/create-stream

# record the time before the request is sent


start_time = time.time()

# send a ChatCompletion request to count to 100


response = client.chat.completions.create(
model='gpt-3.5-turbo',
messages=[
{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Count to 100, with a comma between each number and no newlines.
],
temperature=0,
stream=True # again, we set stream=True
)
# create variables to collect the stream of chunks
collected_chunks = []
collected_messages = []
# iterate through the stream of events
for chunk in response:
chunk_time = time.time() - start_time # calculate the time delay of the chunk
collected_chunks.append(chunk) # save the event response
chunk_message = chunk.choices[0].delta.content # extract the message
collected_messages.append(chunk_message) # save the message
print(f"Message received {chunk_time:.2f} seconds after request: {chunk_message}") # print the d
# print the time delay and text received
print(f"Full response received {chunk_time:.2f} seconds after request")
# clean None in collected_messages
collected_messages = [m for m in collected_messages if m is not None]
full_reply_content = ''.join([m for m in collected_messages])
print(f"Full conversation received: {full_reply_content}")

Message received 0.31 seconds after request:


Message received 0.31 seconds after request: 1
Message received 0.34 seconds after request: ,
Message received 0.34 seconds after request:
Message received 0.34 seconds after request: 2
Message received 0.39 seconds after request: ,

Message received 0.63 seconds after request: ,

Message received 0.63 seconds after request: 9
Message received 0.67 seconds after request: ,
Message received 0.67 seconds after request:
Message received 0 67 seconds after request: 10

Time comparison

In the example above, both requests took about 4 to 5 seconds to fully complete. Request times
will vary depending on load and other stochastic factors.

However, with the streaming request, we received the first token after 0.1 seconds, and
subsequent tokens every ~0.01-0.02 seconds.

Using Redis for Embeddings Search


Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Jun 27, 2023

This notebook takes you through a simple flow to download some data, embed it, and then
index and search it using a selection of vector databases. This is a common requirement for
customers who want to store and search our embeddings with their own data in a secure
environment to support production use cases such as chatbots, topic modelling and more.

What is a Vector Database


A vector database is a database made to store, manage and search embedding vectors. The use
of embeddings to encode unstructured data (text, audio, video and more) as vectors for
consumption by machine-learning models has exploded in recent years, due to the increasing
effectiveness of AI in solving use cases involving natural language, image recognition and other
unstructured forms of data. Vector databases have emerged as an effective solution for
enterprises to deliver and scale these use cases.

Why use a Vector Database

Vector databases enable enterprises to take many of the embeddings use cases we've shared in
this repo (question and answering, chatbot and recommendation services, for example), and
make use of them in a secure, scalable environment. Many of our customers make embeddings
solve their problems at small scale but performance and security hold them back from going
into production - we see vector databases as a key component in solving that, and in this guide
we'll walk through the basics of embedding text data, storing it in a vector database and using it
for semantic search.

Demo Flow
The demo flow is:
Setup: Import packages and set any required variables

Load data: Load a dataset and embed it using OpenAI embeddings

Redis

Setup: Set up the Redis-Py client. For more details go here

Index Data: Create the search index for vector search and hybrid search (vector + full-
text search) on all available fields.

Search Data: Run a few example queries with various goals in mind.

Once you've run through this notebook you should have a basic understanding of how to setup
and use vector databases, and can move on to more complex use cases making use of our
embeddings.

Setup

Import the required libraries and set the embedding model that we'd like to use.

# We'll need to install the Redis client


!pip install redis

#Install wget to pull zip file


!pip install wget

import openai

from typing import List, Iterator


import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import os

from ast import literal_eval

# Redis client library for Python

# I've set this to our new embeddings model, this can be changed to the embedding model of your choic
EMBEDDING_MODEL = "text-embedding-3-small"

# Ignore unclosed SSL socket warnings - optional in case you get these errors
import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings(action="ignore", message="unclosed", category=ResourceWarning)
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=DeprecationWarning)

Load data

In this section we'll load embedded data that we've prepared previous to this session.

Redis
The next vector database covered in this tutorial is Redis. You most likely already know Redis.
What you might not be aware of is the RediSearch module. Enterprises have been using Redis
with the RediSearch module for years now across all major cloud providers, Redis Cloud, and on
premise. Recently, the Redis team added vector storage and search capability to this module in
addition to the features RediSearch already had.

Given the large ecosystem around Redis, there are most likely client libraries in the language
you need. You can use any standard Redis client library to run RediSearch commands, but it's
easiest to use a library that wraps the RediSearch API. Below are a few examples, but you can
find more client libraries here.

In the below cells, we will walk you through using Redis as a vector database. Since many of you
are likely already used to the Redis API, this should be familiar to most.

Setup

There are many ways to deploy Redis with RediSearch. The easiest way to get started is to use
Docker, but there are are many potential options for deployment. For other deployment
options, see the redis directory in this repo.

For this tutorial, we will use Redis Stack on Docker.

Start a version of Redis with RediSearch (Redis Stack) by running the following docker command
$ cd redis
$ docker compose up -d

This also includes the RedisInsight GUI for managing your Redis database which you can view
at http://localhost:8001 once you start the docker container.

You're all set up and ready to go! Next, we import and create our client for communicating with
the Redis database we just created.

import redis
from redis.commands.search.indexDefinition import (
IndexDefinition,
IndexType
)
from redis.commands.search.query import Query
from redis.commands.search.field import (
TextField,
VectorField
)

REDIS_HOST = "localhost"
REDIS_PORT = 6379
REDIS_PASSWORD = "" # default for passwordless Redis

# Connect to Redis
redis_client = redis.Redis(
host=REDIS_HOST,
port=REDIS_PORT,
password=REDIS_PASSWORD
)
redis_client.ping()

True

Creating a Search Index

The below cells will show how to specify and create a search index in Redis. We will

1. Set some constants for defining our index like the distance metric and the index name

2. Define the index schema with RediSearch fields

3. Create the index


# Constants
VECTOR_DIM = len(article_df['title_vector'][0]) # length of the vectors
VECTOR_NUMBER = len(article_df) # initial number of vectors
INDEX_NAME = "embeddings-index" # name of the search index
PREFIX = "doc" # prefix for the document keys
DISTANCE_METRIC = "COSINE" # distance metric for the vectors (ex. COSINE, IP, L2

# Define RediSearch fields for each of the columns in the dataset


title = TextField(name="title")
url = TextField(name="url")
text = TextField(name="text")
title_embedding = VectorField("title_vector",
"FLAT", {
"TYPE": "FLOAT32",
"DIM": VECTOR_DIM,
"DISTANCE_METRIC": DISTANCE_METRIC,
"INITIAL_CAP": VECTOR_NUMBER,
}
)
text_embedding = VectorField("content_vector",
"FLAT", {
"TYPE": "FLOAT32",
"DIM": VECTOR_DIM,
"DISTANCE_METRIC": DISTANCE_METRIC,
"INITIAL_CAP": VECTOR_NUMBER,
}
)
fields = [title, url, text, title_embedding, text_embedding]

# Check if index exists


try:
redis_client.ft(INDEX_NAME).info()
print("Index already exists")
except:
# Create RediSearch Index
redis_client.ft(INDEX_NAME).create_index(
fields = fields,
definition = IndexDefinition(prefix=[PREFIX], index_type=IndexType.HASH)
)

Load Documents into the Index

Now that we have a search index, we can load documents into it. We will use the same
documents we used in the previous examples. In Redis, either the Hash or JSON (if using
RedisJSON in addition to RediSearch) data types can be used to store documents. We will use
the HASH data type in this example. The below cells will show how to load documents into the
index.

def index_documents(client: redis.Redis, prefix: str, documents: pd.DataFrame):


records = documents.to_dict("records")
for doc in records:
key = f"{prefix}:{str(doc['id'])}"

# create byte vectors for title and content


title_embedding = np.array(doc["title_vector"], dtype=np.float32).tobytes()
content_embedding = np.array(doc["content_vector"], dtype=np.float32).tobytes()

# replace list of floats with byte vectors


doc["title_vector"] = title_embedding
doc["content_vector"] = content_embedding

client.hset(key, mapping = doc)

index_documents(redis_client, PREFIX, article_df)


print(f"Loaded {redis_client.info()['db0']['keys']} documents in Redis search index with name: {INDEX

Loaded 25000 documents in Redis search index with name: embeddings-index

Running Search Queries

Now that we have a search index and documents loaded into it, we can run search queries.
Below we will provide a function that will run a search query and return the results. Using this
function we run a few queries that will show how you can utilize Redis as a vector database.
Each example will demonstrate specific features to keep in mind when developing your search
application with Redis.

1. Return Fields: You can specify which fields you want to return in the search results. This is
useful if you only want to return a subset of the fields in your documents and doesn't
require a separate call to retrieve documents. In the below example, we will only return the
title field in the search results.

2. Hybrid Search: You can combine vector search with any of the other RediSearch fields for
hybrid search such as full text search, tag, geo, and numeric. In the below example, we will
combine vector search with full text search.
def search_redis(
redis_client: redis.Redis,
user_query: str,
index_name: str = "embeddings-index",
vector_field: str = "title_vector",
return_fields: list = ["title", "url", "text", "vector_score"],
hybrid_fields = "*",
k: int = 20,
) -> List[dict]:

# Creates embedding vector from user query


embedded_query = openai.Embedding.create(input=user_query,
model=EMBEDDING_MODEL,
)["data"][0]['embedding']

# Prepare the Query


base_query = f'{hybrid_fields}=>[KNN {k} @{vector_field} $vector AS vector_score]'
query = (
Query(base_query)
.return_fields(*return_fields)
.sort_by("vector_score")
.paging(0, k)
.dialect(2)
)
params_dict = {"vector": np.array(embedded_query).astype(dtype=np.float32).tobytes()}

# perform vector search


results = redis_client.ft(index_name).search(query, params_dict)
for i, article in enumerate(results.docs):
score = 1 - float(article.vector_score)
print(f"{i}. {article.title} (Score: {round(score ,3) })")
return results.docs

# For using OpenAI to generate query embedding

Hybrid Queries with Redis

The previous examples showed how run vector search queries with RediSearch. In this section,
we will show how to combine vector search with other RediSearch fields for hybrid search. In the
below example, we will combine vector search with full text search.

def create_hybrid_field(field_name: str, value: str) -> str:


return f'@{field_name}:"{value}"'

# search the content vector for articles about famous battles in Scottish history and only include re
results = search_redis(redis_client,

How to automate AWS tasks with function-


calling
cybercoder
Open in Github
Sep 26, 2023

This code demonstrates how to interact with ChatGPT functions to perform tasks related to
Amazon S3 buckets. The notebook covers S3 bucket key functionalities such as running simple
listing commands, searching for a specific file in all buckets, uploading a file to a bucket, and
downloading a file from a bucket. The OpenAI Chat API understands the user instructions,
generates the natural language responses, and extracts appropriate function calls based on the
user's input.

Requirements: To run the notebook generate AWS access key with S3 bucket writing permission
and store them in a local environment file alongside the Openai key. The " .env " file format:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your-key>
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your-key>
OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-key>

! pip install openai


! pip install boto3
! pip install tenacity
! pip install python-dotenv

from openai import OpenAI


import json
import boto3
import os
import datetime
from urllib.request import urlretrieve

# load environment variables


from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

True

OpenAI.api_key = os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY")

# os.environ['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'] = ''

# Create S3 client
s3_client = boto3.client('s3')

# Create openai client


client = OpenAI()

Utilities

To connect user questions or commands to the appropriate function, we need to provide


ChatGPT with the necessary function details and expected parameters.

S3 bucket bot testing

In the following examples, make sure to replace the placeholders such as <file_name> ,
<bucket_name> , and <directory_path> with your specific values before execution.

Listing and searching

Let's start by listing all the available buckets.

print(run_conversation('list my S3 buckets'))

You can ask the assistant to search for a specific file name either in all the buckets or in a
specific one.
search_file = '<file_name>'
print(run_conversation(f'search for a file {search_file} in all buckets'))

search_word = '<file_name_part>'
bucket_name = '<bucket_name>'
print(run_conversation(f'search for a file contains {search_word} in {bucket_name}'))

The model is expected to clarify the ask from the user in case of ambiguity in the parameters
values as described in the system message.

print(run_conversation('search for a file'))

Sure, to help me find what you're looking for, could you please provide the name of the file yo

Validate edge cases

We also instructed the model to reject irrelevant tasks. Let's test it out and see how it works in
action.

Philosophy with Vector Embeddings, OpenAI


and Cassandra / Astra DB
Stefano Lottini
Open in Github
Aug 28, 2023

CQL Version

In this quickstart you will learn how to build a "philosophy quote finder & generator" using
OpenAI's vector embeddings and Apache Cassandra®, or equivalently DataStax Astra DB
through CQL, as the vector store for data persistence.

The basic workflow of this notebook is outlined below. You will evaluate and store the vector
embeddings for a number of quotes by famous philosophers, use them to build a powerful
search engine and, after that, even a generator of new quotes!

The notebook exemplifies some of the standard usage patterns of vector search -- while
showing how easy is it to get started with the vector capabilities of Cassandra / Astra DB
through CQL.

For a background on using vector search and text embeddings to build a question-answering
system, please check out this excellent hands-on notebook: Question answering using
embeddings.

Choose-your-framework

Please note that this notebook uses the Cassandra drivers and runs CQL (Cassandra Query
Language) statements directly, but we cover other choices of technology to accomplish the
same task. Check out this folder's README for other options. This notebook can run either as a
Colab notebook or as a regular Jupyter notebook.

Table of contents:
Setup

Get DB connection

Connect to OpenAI

Load quotes into the Vector Store

Use case 1: quote search engine

Use case 2: quote generator

(Optional) exploit partitioning in the Vector Store

How it works

Indexing

Each quote is made into an embedding vector with OpenAI's Embedding . These are saved in the
Vector Store for later use in searching. Some metadata, including the author's name and a few
other pre-computed tags, are stored alongside, to allow for search customization.

Search
To find a quote similar to the provided search quote, the latter is made into an embedding
vector on the fly, and this vector is used to query the store for similar vectors ... i.e. similar
quotes that were previously indexed. The search can optionally be constrained by additional
metadata ("find me quotes by Spinoza similar to this one ...").

The key point here is that "quotes similar in content" translates, in vector space, to vectors that
are metrically close to each other: thus, vector similarity search effectively implements semantic
similarity. This is the key reason vector embeddings are so powerful.

The sketch below tries to convey this idea. Each quote, once it's made into a vector, is a point in
space. Well, in this case it's on a sphere, since OpenAI's embedding vectors, as most others, are
normalized to unit length. Oh, and the sphere is actually not three-dimensional, rather 1536-
dimensional!

So, in essence, a similarity search in vector space returns the vectors that are closest to the
query vector:
Generation

Given a suggestion (a topic or a tentative quote), the search step is performed, and the first
returned results (quotes) are fed into an LLM prompt which asks the generative model to invent
a new text along the lines of the passed examples and the initial suggestion.
Setup

Install and import the necessary dependencies:

!pip install --quiet "cassandra-driver>=0.28.0" "openai>=1.0.0" datasets

import os
from uuid import uuid4
from getpass import getpass
from collections import Counter

from cassandra.cluster import Cluster


from cassandra.auth import PlainTextAuthProvider

import openai
from datasets import load_dataset

Don't mind the next cell too much, we need it to detect Colabs and let you upload the SCB file (see
below):

try:
from google.colab import files
IS_COLAB = True
except ModuleNotFoundError:
IS_COLAB = False

Get DB connection

A couple of secrets are required to create a Session object (a connection to your Astra DB
instance).

(Note: some steps will be slightly different on Google Colab and on local Jupyter, that's why the
notebook will detect the runtime type.)

# Your database's Secure Connect Bundle zip file is needed:


if IS_COLAB:
print('Please upload your Secure Connect Bundle zipfile: ')
uploaded = files.upload()
if uploaded:
astraBundleFileTitle = list(uploaded.keys())[0]
ASTRA_DB_SECURE_BUNDLE_PATH = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), astraBundleFileTitle)
else:
raise ValueError(
'Cannot proceed without Secure Connect Bundle. Please re-run the cell.'
)
else:
# you are running a local-jupyter notebook:
ASTRA_DB_SECURE_BUNDLE_PATH = input("Please provide the full path to your Secure Connect Bundle z

ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN = getpass("Please provide your Database Token ('AstraCS:...' string): ")


ASTRA_DB_KEYSPACE = input("Please provide the Keyspace name for your Database: ")

Please provide the full path to your Secure Connect Bundle zipfile: /path/to/secure-connect-Da
Please provide your Database Token ('AstraCS:...' string): ········
Please provide the Keyspace name for your Database: my_keyspace

Creation of the DB connection

This is how you create a connection to Astra DB:

(Incidentally, you could also use any Cassandra cluster (as long as it provides Vector capabilities),
just by changing the parameters to the following Cluster instantiation.)

# Don't mind the "Closing connection" error after "downgrading protocol..." messages you may see,
# it is really just a warning: the connection will work smoothly.
cluster = Cluster(
cloud={
"secure_connect_bundle": ASTRA_DB_SECURE_BUNDLE_PATH,
},
auth_provider=PlainTextAuthProvider(
"token",
ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN,
),
)

session = cluster.connect()
keyspace = ASTRA_DB_KEYSPACE

Creation of the Vector table in CQL


You need a table which support vectors and is equipped with metadata. Call it
"philosophers_cql".

Each row will store: a quote, its vector embedding, the quote author and a set of "tags". You
also need a primary key to ensure uniqueness of rows.
The following is the full CQL command that creates the table (check out this page for more on
the CQL syntax of this and the following statements):

create_table_statement = f"""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS {keyspace}.philosophers_cql (


quote_id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
body TEXT,
embedding_vector VECTOR<FLOAT, 1536>,
author TEXT,
tags SET<TEXT>
);"""

Pass this statement to your database Session to execute it:

session.execute(create_table_statement)

<cassandra.cluster.ResultSet at 0x7feee37b3460>

Add a vector index for ANN search

In order to run ANN (approximate-nearest-neighbor) searches on the vectors in the table, you
need to create a specific index on the embedding_vector column.

When creating the index, you can optionally choose the "similarity function" used to compute
vector distances: since for unit-length vectors (such as those from OpenAI) the "cosine difference"
is the same as the "dot product", you'll use the latter which is computationally less expensive.

Run this CQL statement:

create_vector_index_statement = f"""CREATE CUSTOM INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_embedding_vector


ON {keyspace}.philosophers_cql (embedding_vector)
USING 'org.apache.cassandra.index.sai.StorageAttachedIndex'
WITH OPTIONS = {{'similarity_function' : 'dot_product'}};
"""
# Note: the double '{{' and '}}' are just the F-string escape sequence for '{' and '}'

session.execute(create_vector_index_statement)

<cassandra.cluster.ResultSet at 0x7feeefd3da00>
Add indexes for author and tag filtering

That is enough to run vector searches on the table ... but you want to be able to optionally
specify an author and/or some tags to restrict the quote search. Create two other indexes to
support this:

create_author_index_statement = f"""CREATE CUSTOM INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_author


ON {keyspace}.philosophers_cql (author)
USING 'org.apache.cassandra.index.sai.StorageAttachedIndex';
"""
session.execute(create_author_index_statement)

create_tags_index_statement = f"""CREATE CUSTOM INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_tags


ON {keyspace}.philosophers_cql (VALUES(tags))
USING 'org.apache.cassandra.index.sai.StorageAttachedIndex';
"""
session.execute(create_tags_index_statement)

<cassandra.cluster.ResultSet at 0x7fef2c64af70>

Connect to OpenAI

Set up your secret key

OPENAI_API_KEY = getpass("Please enter your OpenAI API Key: ")

Please enter your OpenAI API Key: ········

A test call for embeddings


Quickly check how one can get the embedding vectors for a list of input texts:

client = openai.OpenAI(api_key=OPENAI_API_KEY)
embedding_model_name = "text-embedding-3-small"

result = client.embeddings.create(
input=[
"This is a sentence",
"A second sentence"
],
model=embedding_model_name,
)

Note: the above is the syntax for OpenAI v1.0+. If using previous versions, the code to get the
embeddings will look different.

print(f"len(result.data) = {len(result.data)}")
print(f"result.data[1].embedding = {str(result.data[1].embedding)[:55]}...")
print(f"len(result.data[1].embedding) = {len(result.data[1].embedding)}")

len(result.data) = 2
result.data[1].embedding = [-0.0108176339417696, 0.0013546717818826437, 0.00362232...
len(result.data[1].embedding) = 1536

Load quotes into the Vector Store

Get a dataset with the quotes. (We adapted and augmented the data from this Kaggle dataset,
ready to use in this demo.)

philo_dataset = load_dataset("datastax/philosopher-quotes")["train"]

A quick inspection:

print("An example entry:")


print(philo_dataset[16])

An example entry:
{'author': 'aristotle', 'quote': 'Love well, be loved and do something of value.', 'tags': 'lov

Check the dataset size:

author_count = Counter(entry["author"] for entry in philo_dataset)


print(f"Total: {len(philo_dataset)} quotes. By author:")
for author, count in author_count.most_common():
print(f" {author:<20}: {count} quotes")

Total: 450 quotes. By author:


aristotle : 50 quotes
schopenhauer : 50 quotes
spinoza : 50 quotes
hegel : 50 quotes
freud : 50 quotes
nietzsche : 50 quotes
sartre : 50 quotes
plato : 50 quotes
kant : 50 quotes

Insert quotes into vector store

You will compute the embeddings for the quotes and save them into the Vector Store, along
with the text itself and the metadata planned for later use.

To optimize speed and reduce the calls, you'll perform batched calls to the embedding OpenAI
service.

The DB write is accomplished with a CQL statement. But since you'll run this particular insertion
several times (albeit with different values), it's best to prepare the statement and then just run it
over and over.

(Note: for faster insertion, the Cassandra drivers would let you do concurrent inserts, which we
don't do here for a more straightforward demo code.)

prepared_insertion = session.prepare(
f"INSERT INTO {keyspace}.philosophers_cql (quote_id, author, body, embedding_vector, tags) VALUES
)

BATCH_SIZE = 20

num_batches = ((len(philo_dataset) + BATCH_SIZE - 1) // BATCH_SIZE)

quotes_list = philo_dataset["quote"]
authors_list = philo_dataset["author"]
tags_list = philo_dataset["tags"]

print("Starting to store entries:")


for batch_i in range(num_batches):
b_start = batch_i * BATCH_SIZE
b_end = (batch_i + 1) * BATCH_SIZE
# compute the embedding vectors for this batch
b_emb_results = client.embeddings.create(
input=quotes_list[b_start : b_end],
model=embedding_model_name,
)
# prepare the rows for insertion
print("B ", end="")
for entry_idx, emb_result in zip(range(b_start, b_end), b_emb_results.data):
if tags_list[entry_idx]:
tags = {
tag
for tag in tags_list[entry_idx].split(";")
}
else:
tags = set()
author = authors_list[entry_idx]
quote = quotes_list[entry_idx]
quote_id = uuid4() # a new random ID for each quote. In a production app you'll want to have
session.execute(
prepared_insertion,
(quote_id, author, quote, emb_result.embedding, tags),
)
print("*", end="")
print(f" done ({len(b_emb_results.data)})")

print("\nFinished storing entries.")

Use case 1: quote search engine


For the quote-search functionality, you need first to make the input quote into a vector, and
then use it to query the store (besides handling the optional metadata into the search call, that
is).

Encapsulate the search-engine functionality into a function for ease of re-use:

def find_quote_and_author(query_quote, n, author=None, tags=None):


query_vector = client.embeddings.create(
input=[query_quote],
model=embedding_model_name,
).data[0].embedding
# depending on what conditions are passed, the WHERE clause in the statement may vary.
where_clauses = []
where_values = []
if author:
where_clauses += ["author = %s"]
where_values += [author]
if tags:
for tag in tags:
where_clauses += ["tags CONTAINS %s"]
where_values += [tag]
# The reason for these two lists above is that when running the CQL search statement the values p
# must match the sequence of "?" marks in the statement.
if where_clauses:
search_statement = f"""SELECT body, author FROM {keyspace}.philosophers_cql
WHERE {' AND '.join(where_clauses)}
ORDER BY embedding_vector ANN OF %s
LIMIT %s;
"""
else:
search_statement = f"""SELECT body, author FROM {keyspace}.philosophers_cql
ORDER BY embedding_vector ANN OF %s
LIMIT %s;
"""
# For best performance, one should keep a cache of prepared statements (see the insertion code ab
# for the various possible statements used here.
# (We'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to avoid making this code too long.
# Remember: to prepare a statement you use '?' instead of '%s'.)
query_values = tuple(where_values + [query_vector] + [n])
result_rows = session.execute(search_statement, query_values)
return [
(result_row.body, result_row.author)
for result_row in result_rows
]

Putting search to test

Passing just a quote:


find_quote_and_author("We struggle all our life for nothing", 3)

[('Life to the great majority is only a constant struggle for mere existence, with the certaint
'schopenhauer'),
('We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we
'aristotle'),
('Perhaps the gods are kind to us, by making life more disagreeable as we grow older. In the e
'freud')]

Search restricted to an author:

find_quote_and_author("We struggle all our life for nothing", 2, author="nietzsche")

[('To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.',


'nietzsche'),
('What makes us heroic?--Confronting simultaneously our supreme suffering and our supreme hope
'nietzsche')]

Search constrained to a tag (out of those saved earlier with the quotes):

find_quote_and_author("We struggle all our life for nothing", 2, tags=["politics"])

[('Mankind will never see an end of trouble until lovers of wisdom come to hold political power
'plato'),
('Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.',
'nietzsche')]

Cutting out irrelevant results


The vector similarity search generally returns the vectors that are closest to the query, even if
that means results that might be somewhat irrelevant if there's nothing better.

To keep this issue under control, you can get the actual "similarity" between the query and each
result, and then set a cutoff on it, effectively discarding results that are beyond that threshold.
Tuning this threshold correctly is not an easy problem: here, we'll just show you the way.
To get a feeling on how this works, try the following query and play with the choice of quote
and threshold to compare the results:

Note (for the mathematically inclined): this value is a rescaling between zero and one of the
cosine difference between the vectors, i.e. of the scalar product divided by the product of the norms
of the two vectors. In other words, this is 0 for opposite-facing vecors and +1 for parallel vectors.
For other measures of similarity, check the documentation -- and keep in mind that the metric in
the SELECT query should match the one used when creating the index earlier for meaningful,
ordered results.

quote = "Animals are our equals."


# quote = "Be good."
# quote = "This teapot is strange."

similarity_threshold = 0.92

quote_vector = client.embeddings.create(
input=[quote],
model=embedding_model_name,
).data[0].embedding

# Once more: remember to prepare your statements in production for greater performance...

search_statement = f"""SELECT body, similarity_dot_product(embedding_vector, %s) as similarity


FROM {keyspace}.philosophers_cql
ORDER BY embedding_vector ANN OF %s
LIMIT %s;
"""
query_values = (quote_vector, quote_vector, 8)

result_rows = session.execute(search_statement, query_values)


results = [
(result_row.body, result_row.similarity)
for result_row in result_rows
if result_row.similarity >= similarity_threshold
]

print(f"{len(results)} quotes within the threshold:")


for idx, (r_body, r_similarity) in enumerate(results):
print(f" {idx}. [similarity={r_similarity:.3f}] \"{r_body[:70]}...\"")

3 quotes within the threshold:

1. [similarity=0.922] "Animals are in possession of themselves; their soul is in possession
2. [similarity=0.920] "At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law a

Use case 2: quote generator


For this task you need another component from OpenAI, namely an LLM to generate the quote
for us (based on input obtained by querying the Vector Store).

You also need a template for the prompt that will be filled for the generate-quote LLM
completion task.

completion_model_name = "gpt-3.5-turbo"

generation_prompt_template = """"Generate a single short philosophical quote on the given topic,


similar in spirit and form to the provided actual example quotes.
Do not exceed 20-30 words in your quote.

REFERENCE TOPIC: "{topic}"

ACTUAL EXAMPLES:
{examples}
"""

Like for search, this functionality is best wrapped into a handy function (which internally uses
search):

def generate_quote(topic, n=2, author=None, tags=None):


quotes = find_quote_and_author(query_quote=topic, n=n, author=author, tags=tags)
if quotes:
prompt = generation_prompt_template.format(
topic=topic,
examples="\n".join(f" - {quote[0]}" for quote in quotes),
)
# a little logging:
print("** quotes found:")
for q, a in quotes:
print(f"** - {q} ({a})")
print("** end of logging")
#
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model=completion_model_name,
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
temperature=0.7,
max_tokens=320,
)
return response.choices[0].message.content.replace('"', '').strip()
else:
print("** no quotes found.")
return None

Note: similar to the case of the embedding computation, the code for the Chat Completion API
would be slightly different for OpenAI prior to v1.0.
Putting quote generation to test

Just passing a text (a "quote", but one can actually just suggest a topic since its vector
embedding will still end up at the right place in the vector space):

q_topic = generate_quote("politics and virtue")


print("\nA new generated quote:")
print(q_topic)

** quotes found:
** - Happiness is the reward of virtue. (aristotle)
** - Our moral virtues benefit mainly other people; intellectual virtues, on the other hand,
** end of logging

A new generated quote:


True politics is not the pursuit of power, but the cultivation of virtue for the betterment of

Use inspiration from just a single philosopher:

q_topic = generate_quote("animals", author="schopenhauer")


print("\nA new generated quote:")
print(q_topic)

** quotes found:
** - Because Christian morality leaves animals out of account, they are at once outlawed in
** - The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of
** end of logging

A new generated quote:


Do not judge the worth of a soul by its outward form, for within every animal lies an eternal e

(Optional) Partitioning

There's an interesting topic to examine before completing this quickstart. While, generally, tags
and quotes can be in any relationship (e.g. a quote having multiple tags), authors are effectively
an exact grouping (they define a "disjoint partitioning" on the set of quotes): each quote has
exactly one author (for us, at least).
Now, suppose you know in advance your application will usually (or always) run queries on a
single author. Then you can take full advantage of the underlying database structure: if you
group quotes in partitions (one per author), vector queries on just an author will use less
resources and return much faster.

We'll not dive into the details here, which have to do with the Cassandra storage internals: the
important message is that if your queries are run within a group, consider partitioning
accordingly to boost performance.

You'll now see this choice in action.

The partitioning per author calls for a new table schema: create a new table called
"philosophers_cql_partitioned", along with the necessary indexes:

create_table_p_statement = f"""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS {keyspace}.philosophers_cql_partitioned (


author TEXT,
quote_id UUID,
body TEXT,
embedding_vector VECTOR<FLOAT, 1536>,
tags SET<TEXT>,
PRIMARY KEY ( (author), quote_id )
) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (quote_id ASC);"""

session.execute(create_table_p_statement)

create_vector_index_p_statement = f"""CREATE CUSTOM INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_embedding_vector_p


ON {keyspace}.philosophers_cql_partitioned (embedding_vector)
USING 'org.apache.cassandra.index.sai.StorageAttachedIndex'
WITH OPTIONS = {{'similarity_function' : 'dot_product'}};
"""

session.execute(create_vector_index_p_statement)

create_tags_index_p_statement = f"""CREATE CUSTOM INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_tags_p


ON {keyspace}.philosophers_cql_partitioned (VALUES(tags))
USING 'org.apache.cassandra.index.sai.StorageAttachedIndex';
"""
session.execute(create_tags_index_p_statement)

<cassandra.cluster.ResultSet at 0x7fef149d7940>

Now repeat the compute-embeddings-and-insert step on the new table.


You could use the very same insertion code as you did earlier, because the differences are
hidden "behind the scenes": the database will store the inserted rows differently according to
the partioning scheme of this new table.

However, by way of demonstration, you will take advantage of a handy facility offered by the
Cassandra drivers to easily run several queries (in this case, INSERT s) concurrently. This is
something that Cassandra / Astra DB through CQL supports very well and can lead to a
significant speedup, with very little changes in the client code.

(Note: one could additionally have cached the embeddings computed previously to save a few API
tokens -- here, however, we wanted to keep the code easier to inspect.)

from cassandra.concurrent import execute_concurrent_with_args

prepared_insertion = session.prepare(
f"INSERT INTO {keyspace}.philosophers_cql_partitioned (quote_id, author, body, embedding_vector,
)

BATCH_SIZE = 50

num_batches = ((len(philo_dataset) + BATCH_SIZE - 1) // BATCH_SIZE)

quotes_list = philo_dataset["quote"]
authors_list = philo_dataset["author"]
tags_list = philo_dataset["tags"]

print("Starting to store entries:")


for batch_i in range(num_batches):
print("[...", end="")
b_start = batch_i * BATCH_SIZE
b_end = (batch_i + 1) * BATCH_SIZE
# compute the embedding vectors for this batch
b_emb_results = client.embeddings.create(
input=quotes_list[b_start : b_end],
model=embedding_model_name,
)
# prepare this batch's entries for insertion
tuples_to_insert = []
for entry_idx, emb_result in zip(range(b_start, b_end), b_emb_results.data):
if tags_list[entry_idx]:
tags = {
tag
for tag in tags_list[entry_idx].split(";")
}
else:
tags = set()
author = authors_list[entry_idx]
quote = quotes_list[entry_idx]
quote_id = uuid4() # a new random ID for each quote. In a production app you'll want to have
# append a *tuple* to the list, and in the tuple the values are ordered to match "?" in the p
tuples_to_insert.append((quote_id, author, quote, emb_result.embedding, tags))
# insert the batch at once through the driver's concurrent primitive
conc_results = execute_concurrent_with_args(
session,
prepared_insertion,
tuples_to_insert,
)
# check that all insertions succeed (better to always do this):
if any([not success for success, _ in conc_results]):
print("Something failed during the insertions!")
else:
print(f"{len(b_emb_results.data)}] ", end="")

print("\nFinished storing entries.")

Starting to store entries:


[...50] [...50] [...50] [...50] [...50] [...50] [...50] [...50] [...50]
Finished storing entries.

Despite the different table schema, the DB query behind the similarity search is essentially the
same:

def find_quote_and_author_p(query_quote, n, author=None, tags=None):


query_vector = client.embeddings.create(
input=[query_quote],
model=embedding_model_name,
).data[0].embedding
# Depending on what conditions are passed, the WHERE clause in the statement may vary.
# Construct it accordingly:
where_clauses = []
where_values = []
if author:
where_clauses += ["author = %s"]
where_values += [author]
if tags:
for tag in tags:
where_clauses += ["tags CONTAINS %s"]
where_values += [tag]
if where_clauses:
search_statement = f"""SELECT body, author FROM {keyspace}.philosophers_cql_partitioned
WHERE {' AND '.join(where_clauses)}
ORDER BY embedding_vector ANN OF %s
LIMIT %s;
"""
else:
search_statement = f"""SELECT body, author FROM {keyspace}.philosophers_cql_partitioned
ORDER BY embedding_vector ANN OF %s
LIMIT %s;
"""
query_values = tuple(where_values + [query_vector] + [n])
result_rows = session.execute(search_statement, query_values)
return [
(result_row.body, result_row.author)
for result_row in result_rows
]

That's it: the new table still supports the "generic" similarity searches all right ...

find_quote_and_author_p("We struggle all our life for nothing", 3)

[('Life to the great majority is only a constant struggle for mere existence, with the certaint
'schopenhauer'),
('We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we
'aristotle'),
('Perhaps the gods are kind to us, by making life more disagreeable as we grow older. In the e
'freud')]

... but it's when an author is specified that you would notice a huge performance advantage:

find_quote_and_author_p("We struggle all our life for nothing", 2, author="nietzsche")

[('To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.',


'nietzsche'),
('What makes us heroic?--Confronting simultaneously our supreme suffering and our supreme hope
'nietzsche')]

Well, you would notice a performance gain, if you had a realistic-size dataset. In this demo, with
a few tens of entries, there's no noticeable difference -- but you get the idea.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have learned how to use OpenAI for vector embeddings and Astra DB /
Cassandra for storage in order to build a sophisticated philosophical search engine and quote
generator.

This example used the Cassandra drivers and runs CQL (Cassandra Query Language) statements
directly to interface with the Vector Store - but this is not the only choice. Check the README
for other options and integration with popular frameworks.

ML/GenAI applications, visit Astra DB's web page on the topic.

Cleanup

If you want to remove all resources used for this demo, run this cell (warning: this will delete the
tables and the data inserted in them!):

Enhancing Whisper transcriptions: pre- & post-


processing techniques
prestontuggle
Open in Github
Aug 10, 2023

This notebook offers a guide to improve the Whisper's transcriptions. We'll streamline your
audio data via trimming and segmentation, enhancing Whisper's transcription quality. After
transcriptions, we'll refine the output by adding punctuation, adjusting product terminology
(e.g., 'five two nine' to '529'), and mitigating Unicode issues. These strategies will help improve
the clarity of your transcriptions, but remember, customization based on your unique use-case
may be beneficial.

Setup

To get started let's import a few different libraries:

PyDub is a simple and easy-to-use Python library for audio processing tasks such as slicing,
concatenating, and exporting audio files.

The Audio class from the IPython.display module allows you to create an audio control
that can play sound in Jupyter notebooks, providing a straightforward way to play audio
data directly in your notebook.

For our audio file, we'll use a fictional earnings call written by ChatGPT and read aloud by
the author.This audio file is relatively short, but hopefully provides you with an illustrative
idea of how these pre and post processing steps can be applied to any audio file.

from openai import OpenAI


import os
import urllib
from IPython.display import Audio
from pathlib import Path
from pydub import AudioSegment
import ssl

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

# set download paths


earnings_call_remote_filepath = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/EarningsCall.wav"

# set local save locations


earnings_call_filepath = "data/EarningsCall.wav"

# download example audio files and save locally


ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
urllib.request.urlretrieve(earnings_call_remote_filepath, earnings_call_filepath)

('data/EarningsCall.wav', <http.client.HTTPMessage at 0x11be41f50>)

At times, files with long silences at the beginning can cause Whisper to transcribe the audio
incorrectly. We'll use Pydub to detect and trim the silence.

Here, we've set the decibel threshold of 20. You can change this if you would like.

# Function to detect leading silence


# Returns the number of milliseconds until the first sound (chunk averaging more than X decibels)
def milliseconds_until_sound(sound, silence_threshold_in_decibels=-20.0, chunk_size=10):
trim_ms = 0 # ms

assert chunk_size > 0 # to avoid infinite loop


while sound[trim_ms:trim_ms+chunk_size].dBFS < silence_threshold_in_decibels and trim_ms < len(so
trim_ms += chunk_size

return trim_ms

def trim_start(filepath):
path = Path(filepath)
directory = path.parent
filename = path.name
audio = AudioSegment.from_file(filepath, format="wav")
start_trim = milliseconds_until_sound(audio)
trimmed = audio[start_trim:]
new_filename = directory / f"trimmed_{filename}"
trimmed.export(new_filename, format="wav")
return trimmed, new_filename

def transcribe_audio(file,output_dir):
audio_path = os.path.join(output_dir, file)
with open(audio_path, 'rb') as audio_data:
transcription = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
model="whisper-1", file=audio_data)
return transcription.text

At times, we've seen unicode character injection in transcripts, removing any non-ASCII
characters should help mitigate this issue.

Keep in mind you should not use this function if you are transcribing in Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic,
Chinese, etc

# Define function to remove non-ascii characters


def remove_non_ascii(text):
return ''.join(i for i in text if ord(i)<128)

This function will add formatting and punctuation to our transcript. Whisper generates a
transcript with punctuation but without formatting.

# Define function to add punctuation


def punctuation_assistant(ascii_transcript):

system_prompt = """You are a helpful assistant that adds punctuation to text.


Preserve the original words and only insert necessary punctuation such as periods,
commas, capialization, symbols like dollar sings or percentage signs, and formatting.

Our audio file is a recording from a fake earnings call that includes a lot of financial products.

incorrectly, that they can be corrected.

def product_assistant(ascii_transcript):

Neon as a vector database


cybercoder
Open in Github
Sep 27, 2023

Neon is Serverless Postgres built for the cloud. Neon separates compute and storage to offer
modern developer features such as autoscaling, database branching, scale-to-zero, and more.

Vector search

Neon supports vector search using the pgvector open-source PostgreSQL extension, which
enables Postgres as a vector database for storing and querying embeddings.

OpenAI cookbook notebook

Check out the notebook in this repo for working with Neon Serverless Postgres as your vector
database.

Semantic search using Neon Postgres with pgvector and OpenAI

In this notebook you will learn how to:

1. Use embeddings created by OpenAI API

2. Store embeddings in a Neon Serverless Postgres database

3. Convert a raw text query to an embedding with OpenAI API

4. Use Neon with the pgvector extension to perform vector similarity search

Scaling Support
Neon enables you to scale your AI applications with the following features:

Autoscaling: If your AI application experiences heavy load during certain hours of the day
or at different times, Neon can automatically scale compute resources without manual
intervention. During periods of inactivity, Neon is able to scale to zero.

Instant read replicas: Neon supports instant read replicas, which are independent read-
only compute instances designed to perform read operations on the same data as your
read-write computes. With read replicas, you can offload reads from your read-write
compute instance to a dedicated read-only compute instance for your AI application.

The Neon serverless driver: Neon supports a low-latency serverless PostgreSQL driver for
JavaScript and TypeScript applications that allows you to query data from serverless and
edge environments, making it possible to achieve sub-10ms queries.

How to create dynamic masks with DALL·E and


Segment Anything
Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
May 19, 2023

Segment Anything is a model from Meta that can be used to select portions of images.
Combined with DALL·E's ability to inpaint specified portions of images, you can use Segment
Anything to easily select any part of an image you'd like to alter.

In this notebook, we'll use these tools to become fashion designers and dynamically replace our
digital models' outfits with tailored, original creations. The notebook follows this flow:

Setup: Initialise your libraries and any location directories.

Generate original image: Make an original image that we'll create dynamic masks from.

Generate mask: Use Segment Anything to create a dynamic mask.

Create new image: Generate a new image with the masked area inpainted with a fresh
prompt.

Setup

To get started we'll need to follow the instructions for using the Segment Anything (SAM)
model open-sourced by Meta. As of May 2023, the key steps are:

Install Pytorch (version 1.7+).

Install the library using pip install git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-


anything.git .

Install dependencies using pip install opencv-python pycocotools matplotlib


onnxruntime onnx .
Download a model checkpoint to use (default size is 2.4 GB).

!pip install torch torchvision torchaudio


!pip install git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything.git
!pip install opencv-python pycocotools matplotlib onnxruntime onnx
!pip install requests
!pip install openai
!pip install numpy

!wget https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/segment_anything/sam_vit_h_4b8939.pth

import cv2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.image as mpimg
from matplotlib import rcParams
import numpy as np
from openai import OpenAI
import os
from PIL import Image
import requests
from segment_anything import sam_model_registry, SamAutomaticMaskGenerator, SamPredictor
import torch

# Set directories for generation images and edit images


base_image_dir = os.path.join("images", "01_generations")
mask_dir = os.path.join("images", "02_masks")
edit_image_dir = os.path.join("images", "03_edits")

# Point to your downloaded SAM model


sam_model_filepath = "./sam_vit_h_4b8939.pth"

# Initiate SAM model


sam = sam_model_registry["default"](checkpoint=sam_model_filepath)

# Initiate openAI client


client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

Generate original image

First we'll create an original image which we'll generate masks from.

def process_dalle_images(response, filename, image_dir):


# save the images
urls = [datum.url for datum in response.data] # extract URLs
images = [requests.get(url).content for url in urls] # download images
image_names = [f"{filename}_{i + 1}.png" for i in range(len(images))] # create names
filepaths = [os.path.join(image_dir, name) for name in image_names] # create filepaths
for image, filepath in zip(images, filepaths): # loop through the variations
with open(filepath, "wb") as image_file: # open the file
image_file.write(image) # write the image to the file

return filepaths

dalle_prompt = '''
Full length, zoomed out photo of our premium Lederhosen-inspired jumpsuit.
Showcase the intricate hand-stitched details and high-quality leather, while highlighting the perfect
This piece appeals to a sophisticated, trendsetting audience who appreciates cultural fusion and inno
'''

# Generate your images


generation_response = client.images.generate(
model = "dall-e-3",
prompt=dalle_prompt,
n=3,
size="1024x1024",
response_format="url",
)

filepaths = process_dalle_images(generation_response, "generation", base_image_dir)

# print the new generations


for filepath in filepaths:
print(filepath)
display(Image.open(filepath))

Generate Mask

Next we'll load up one of our images and generate masks.

For this demonstration we're picking a UX where we "click" on a point on the image to generate
masks from. However, there are example notebooks provided by Meta which show how to
generate every possible mask for an image, draw a box, and some other useful approaches.

# Pick one of your generated images


chosen_image = "images/01_generations/generation_2.png"
# Function to display mask using matplotlib
def show_mask(mask, ax):
color = np.array([30 / 255, 144 / 255, 255 / 255, 0.6])
h, w = mask.shape[-2:]
mask_image = mask.reshape(h, w, 1) * color.reshape(1, 1, -1)
ax.imshow(mask_image)

# Function to display where we've "clicked"


def show_points(coords, labels, ax, marker_size=375):
pos_points = coords[labels == 1]
neg_points = coords[labels == 0]
ax.scatter(
pos_points[:, 0],
pos_points[:, 1],
color="green",
marker="*",
s=marker_size,
edgecolor="white",
linewidth=1.25,
)
ax.scatter(
neg_points[:, 0],
neg_points[:, 1],
color="red",
marker="*",
s=marker_size,
edgecolor="white",
linewidth=1.25,
)

# Load chosen image using opencv


image = cv2.imread(chosen_image)
image = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

# Display our chosen image


plt.figure(figsize=(10, 10))
plt.imshow(image)
plt.axis("on")
plt.show()
# Set the pixel coordinates for our "click" to assign masks
input_point = np.array([[525, 325]])
input_label = np.array([1])

# Display the point we've clicked on


plt.figure(figsize=(10, 10))
plt.imshow(image)
show_points(input_point, input_label, plt.gca())

How to evaluate a summarization task


Shyamal Anadkat, Simón Fishman
Open in Github
Aug 15, 2023

In this notebook we delve into the evaluation techniques for abstractive summarization tasks
using a simple example. We explore traditional evaluation methods like ROUGE and BERTScore,
in addition to showcasing a more novel approach using LLMs as evaluators.

Evaluating the quality of summaries is a time-consuming process, as it involves different quality


metrics such as coherence, conciseness, readability and content. Traditional automatic
evaluation metrics such as ROUGE and BERTScore and others are concrete and reliable, but they
may not correlate well with the actual quality of summaries. They show relatively low correlation
with human judgments, especially for open-ended generation tasks (Liu et al., 2023). There's a
growing need to lean on human evaluations, user feedback, or model-based metrics while
being vigilant about potential biases. While human judgment provides invaluable insights, it is
often not scalable and can be cost-prohibitive.

In addition to these traditional metrics, we showcase a method (G-Eval) that leverages Large
Language Models (LLMs) as a novel, reference-free metric for assessing abstractive summaries.
In this case, we use gpt-4 to score candidate outputs. gpt-4 has effectively learned an internal
model of language quality that allows it to differentiate between fluent, coherent text and low-
quality text. Harnessing this internal scoring mechanism allows auto-evaluation of new
candidate outputs generated by an LLM.

Example task

For the purposes of this notebook we'll use the example summarization below. Notice that we
provide two generated summaries to compare, and a reference human-written summary, which
evaluation metrics like ROUGE and BERTScore require.

Excerpt ( excerpt ):

“OpenAI's mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of
humanity. OpenAI will build safe and beneficial AGI directly, but will also consider its
mission fulfilled if its work aids others to achieve this outcome. OpenAI follows several key
principles for this purpose. First, broadly distributed benefits - any influence over AGI's
deployment will be used for the benefit of all, and to avoid harmful uses or undue
concentration of power. Second, long-term safety - OpenAI is committed to doing the
research to make AGI safe, and to promote the adoption of such research across the AI
community. Third, technical leadership - OpenAI aims to be at the forefront of AI
capabilities. Fourth, a cooperative orientation - OpenAI actively cooperates with other
research and policy institutions, and seeks to create a global community working together
to address AGI's global challenges.”

Evaluating using ROUGE

ROUGE, which stands for Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation, primarily gauges
the overlap of words between a generated output and a reference text. It's a prevalent metric
for evaluating automatic summarization tasks. Among its variants, ROUGE-L offers insights into
the longest contiguous match between system-generated and reference summaries, gauging
how well the system retains the original summary's essence.
# function to calculate the Rouge score
def get_rouge_scores(text1, text2):
rouge = Rouge()
return rouge.get_scores(text1, text2)

rouge_scores_out = []

# Calculate the ROUGE scores for both summaries using reference


eval_1_rouge = get_rouge_scores(eval_summary_1, ref_summary)
eval_2_rouge = get_rouge_scores(eval_summary_2, ref_summary)

for metric in ["rouge-1", "rouge-2", "rouge-l"]:


for label in ["F-Score"]:
eval_1_score = eval_1_rouge[0][metric][label[0].lower()]
eval_2_score = eval_2_rouge[0][metric][label[0].lower()]

row = {
"Metric": f"{metric} ({label})",
"Summary 1": eval_1_score,
"Summary 2": eval_2_score,
}
rouge_scores_out.append(row)

def highlight_max(s):
is_max = s == s.max()
return [
"background-color: lightgreen" if v else "background-color: white"
for v in is_max
]

rouge_scores_out = (
pd.DataFrame(rouge_scores_out)
.set_index("Metric")
.style.apply(highlight_max, axis=1)
)

rouge_scores_out

Summary 1 Summary 2

Metric

rouge-1 (F-Score) 0.488889 0.511628

rouge-2 (F-Score) 0.230769 0.163265

rouge-l (F-Score) 0.488889 0.511628

<IPython.core.display.Javascript object>
The table shows the ROUGE scores for evaluating two different summaries against a reference
text. In the case of rouge-1 , Summary 2 outperforms Summary 1, indicating a better overlap of
individual words and for rouge-l , Summary 2 has a higher score, implying a closer match in
the longest common subsequences, and thus a potentially better overall summarization in
capturing the main content and order of the original text. Since Summary 2 has many words
and short phrases directly lifted from the excerpt, its overlap with the reference summary would
likely be higher, leading to higher ROUGE scores.

While ROUGE and similar metrics, such as BLEU and METEOR, offer quantitative measures, they
often fail to capture the true essence of a well-generated summary. They also correlate worse
with human scores. Given the advancements in LLMs, which are adept at producing fluent and
coherent summaries, traditional metrics like ROUGE may inadvertently penalize these models.
This is especially true if the summaries are articulated differently but still encapsulate the core
information accurately.

Evaluating using BERTScore

ROUGE relies on the exact presence of words in both the predicted and reference texts, failing
to interpret the underlying semantics. This is where BERTScore comes in and leverages the
contextual embeddings from the BERT model, aiming to evaluate the similarity between a
predicted and a reference sentence in the context of machine-generated text. By comparing
embeddings from both sentences, BERTScore captures semantic similarities that might be
missed by traditional n-gram based metrics.

# Instantiate the BERTScorer object for English language


scorer = BERTScorer(lang="en")

# Calculate BERTScore for the summary 1 against the excerpt


# P1, R1, F1_1 represent Precision, Recall, and F1 Score respectively
P1, R1, F1_1 = scorer.score([eval_summary_1], [ref_summary])

# Calculate BERTScore for summary 2 against the excerpt


# P2, R2, F2_2 represent Precision, Recall, and F1 Score respectively
P2, R2, F2_2 = scorer.score([eval_summary_2], [ref_summary])

print("Summary 1 F1 Score:", F1_1.tolist()[0])


print("Summary 2 F1 Score:", F2_2.tolist()[0])

Summary 1 F1 Score: 0.9227314591407776


Summary 2 F1 Score: 0.9189572930335999

<IPython.core.display.Javascript object>

The close F1 Scores between the summaries indicate that they may perform similarly in
capturing the key information. However, this small difference should be interpreted with
caution. Since BERTScore may not fully grasp subtleties and high-level concepts that a human
evaluator might understand, reliance solely on this metric could lead to misinterpreting the
actual quality and nuances of the summary. An integrated approach combining BERTScore with
human judgment and other metrics could offer a more reliable evaluation.

Evaluating using GPT-4

Here we implement an example reference-free text evaluator using gpt-4 , inspired by the G-
Eval framework which evaluates the quality of generated text using large language models.
Unlike metrics like ROUGE or BERTScore that rely on comparison to reference summaries, the
gpt-4 based evaluator assesses the quality of generated content based solely on the input

prompt and text, without any ground truth references. This makes it applicable to new datasets
and tasks where human references are sparse or unavailable.

Here's an overview of this method:

1. We define four distinct criteria:

1. Relevance: Evaluates if the summary includes only important information and excludes
redundancies.

2. Coherence: Assesses the logical flow and organization of the summary.

3. Consistency: Checks if the summary aligns with the facts in the source document.

4. Fluency: Rates the grammar and readability of the summary.


2. We craft prompts for each of these criteria, taking the original document and the summary
as inputs, and leveraging chain-of-thought generation and guiding the model to output a
numeric score from 1-5 for each criteria.

3. We generate scores from gpt-4 with the defined prompts, comparing them across
summaries.

In this demonstration, we're using a direct scoring function where gpt-4 generates a discrete
score (1-5) for each metric. Normalizing the scores and taking a weighted sum could result in
more robust, continuous scores that better reflect the quality and diversity of the summaries.

other. The result might suggest that Summary 1 is generally preferable based on the given
evaluation criteria.

Limitations

Note that LLM-based metrics could have a bias towards preferring LLM-generated texts over
human-written texts. Additionally LLM based metrics are sensitive to system messages/prompts.
We recommend experimenting with other techniques that can help improve performance
and/or get consistent scores, striking the right balance between high-quality expensive
evaluation and automated evaluations. It is also worth noting that this scoring methodology is
currently limited by gpt-4 's context window.

Conclusion

Evaluating abstractive summarization remains an open area for further improvement. Traditional
metrics like ROUGE , BLEU , and BERTScore provide useful automatic evaluation but have
limitations in capturing semantic similarity and nuanced aspects of summarization quality.
Moreover, they require reference outputs which can be expensive to collect/label. LLM-based
metrics offer promise as a reference-free method of evaluating coherence, fluency, and
relevance. However, they too have potential biases favoring text generated by LLMs. Ultimately,
a combination of automatic metrics and human evaluation is ideal for reliably assessing
abstractive summarization systems. While human evaluation is indispensable for gaining a
comprehensive understanding of summary quality, it should be complemented with automated
evaluation to enable efficient, large-scale testing. The field will continue to evolve more robust
evaluation techniques, balancing quality, scalability, and fairness. Advancing evaluation methods
is crucial for driving progress in production applications.

Finding your next movie

In this notebook we will be going over generating embeddings of movie descriptions with
OpenAI and using those embeddings within Milvus to find relevant movies. To narrow our
search results and try something new, we are going to be using filtering to do metadata
searches. The dataset in this example is sourced from HuggingFace datasets, and contains a
little over 8 thousand movie entries.

Lets begin by first downloading the required libraries for this notebook:

openai is used for communicating with the OpenAI embedding service

pymilvus is used for communicating with the Milvus server

datasets is used for downloading the dataset

tqdm is used for the progress bars

! pip install openai pymilvus datasets tqdm

With the required packages installed we can get started. Lets begin by launching the Milvus
service. The file being run is the docker-compose.yaml found in the folder of this file. This
command launches a Milvus standalone instance which we will use for this test.

With Milvus running we can setup our global variables:

HOST: The Milvus host address

PORT: The Milvus port number

COLLECTION_NAME: What to name the collection within Milvus

DIMENSION: The dimension of the embeddings

OPENAI_ENGINE: Which embedding model to use

# Create the index on the collection and load it.


collection.create_index(field_name="embedding", index_params=INDEX_PARAM)
collection.load()

Dataset

With Milvus up and running we can begin grabbing our data. Hugging Face Datasets is a hub
that holds many different user datasets, and for this example we are using HuggingLearners's
netflix-shows dataset. This dataset contains movies and their metadata pairs for over 8
thousand movies. We are going to embed each description and store it within Milvus along with
its title, type, release_year and rating.

import datasets

# Download the dataset


dataset = datasets.load_dataset('hugginglearners/netflix-shows', split='train')

Found cached dataset csv (/Users/filiphaltmayer/.cache/huggingface/datasets/hugginglearners___c

Insert the Data

Now that we have our data on our machine we can begin embedding it and inserting it into
Milvus. The embedding function takes in text and returns the embeddings in a list format.

# Simple function that converts the texts to embeddings


def embed(texts):
embeddings = openai.Embedding.create(
input=texts,
engine=OPENAI_ENGINE
)
return [x['embedding'] for x in embeddings['data']]

This next step does the actual inserting. We iterate through all the entries and create batches
that we insert once we hit our set batch size. After the loop is over we insert the last remaning
batch if it exists.

from tqdm import tqdm

data = [
[], # title
[], # type
[], # release_year
[], # rating
[], # description
]

# Embed and insert in batches


for i in tqdm(range(0, len(dataset))):

data[2].append(dataset[i]['release_year'] or -1)
data[3].append(dataset[i]['rating'] or '')

With our data safely inserted in Milvus, we can now perform a query. The query takes in a tuple
of the movie description you are searching for an the filter to use. More info about the filter can
be found here. The search first prints out your description and filter expression. After that for
each result we print the score, title, type, release year, rating, and description of the result
movies.

Financial Document Analysis with LlamaIndex


Simon Suo
Open in Github
Jun 21, 2023

In this example notebook, we showcase how to perform financial analysis over 10-K documents
with the LlamaIndex framework with just a few lines of code.

Notebook Outline

Introduction

Setup

Data Loading & Indexing

Simple QA

Advanced QA - Compare and Contrast

Introduction

LLamaIndex

LlamaIndex is a data framework for LLM applications. You can get started with just a few lines of
code and build a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system in minutes. For more advanced
users, LlamaIndex offers a rich toolkit for ingesting and indexing your data, modules for retrieval
and re-ranking, and composable components for building custom query engines.

See full documentation for more details.

Financial Analysis over 10-K documents


A key part of a financial analyst's job is to extract information and synthesize insight from long
financial documents. A great example is the 10-K form - an annual report required by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), that gives a comprehensive summary of a
company's financial performance. These documents typically run hundred of pages in length,
and contain domain-specific terminology that makes it challenging for a layperson to digest
quickly.

We showcase how LlamaIndex can support a financial analyst in quickly extracting information
and synthesize insights across multiple documents with very little coding.

Setup

To begin, we need to install the llama-index library

!pip install llama-index pypdf

Now, we import all modules used in this tutorial

from langchain import OpenAI

from llama_index import SimpleDirectoryReader, ServiceContext, VectorStoreIndex


from llama_index import set_global_service_context
from llama_index.response.pprint_utils import pprint_response
from llama_index.tools import QueryEngineTool, ToolMetadata
from llama_index.query_engine import SubQuestionQueryEngine

Before we start, we can configure the LLM provider and model that will power our RAG system.
Here, we pick gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct from OpenAI.

llm = OpenAI(temperature=0, model_name="gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct", max_tokens=-1)

We construct a ServiceContext and set it as the global default, so all subsequent operations
that depends on LLM calls will use the model we configured here.

service_context = ServiceContext.from_defaults(llm=llm)
set_global_service_context(service_context=service_context)
Data Loading and Indexing

Now, we load and parse 2 PDFs (one for Uber 10-K in 2021 and another for Lyft 10-k in 2021).
Under the hood, the PDFs are converted to plain text Document objects, separate by page.

“Note: this operation might take a while to run, since each document is more than 100
pages.”

lyft_docs = SimpleDirectoryReader(input_files=["../data/10k/lyft_2021.pdf"]).load_data()
uber_docs = SimpleDirectoryReader(input_files=["../data/10k/uber_2021.pdf"]).load_data()

print(f'Loaded lyft 10-K with {len(lyft_docs)} pages')


print(f'Loaded Uber 10-K with {len(uber_docs)} pages')

Loaded lyft 10-K with 238 pages


Loaded Uber 10-K with 307 pages

Now, we can build an (in-memory) VectorStoreIndex over the documents that we've loaded.

“Note: this operation might take a while to run, since it calls OpenAI API for computing
vector embedding over document chunks.”

lyft_index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(lyft_docs)
uber_index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(uber_docs)

Simple QA

Now we are ready to run some queries against our indices!


To do so, we first configure a QueryEngine , which just captures a set of configurations for how
we want to query the underlying index.

For a VectorStoreIndex , the most common configuration to adjust is similarity_top_k which


controls how many document chunks (which we call Node objects) are retrieved to use as
context for answering our question.

lyft_engine = lyft_index.as_query_engine(similarity_top_k=3)

uber_engine = uber_index.as_query_engine(similarity_top_k=3)

Let's see some queries in action!

response = await lyft_engine.aquery('What is the revenue of Lyft in 2021? Answer in millions with pag

print(response)

$3,208.3 million (page 63)

response = await uber_engine.aquery('What is the revenue of Uber in 2021? Answer in millions, with pa

print(response)

$17,455 (page 53)

Advanced QA - Compare and Contrast

For more complex financial analysis, one often needs to reference multiple documents.

As a example, let's take a look at how to do compare-and-contrast queries over both Lyft and
Uber financials.
For this, we build a SubQuestionQueryEngine , which breaks down a complex compare-and-
contrast query, into simpler sub-questions to execute on respective sub query engine backed by
individual indices.

query_engine_tools = [
QueryEngineTool(
query_engine=lyft_engine,
metadata=ToolMetadata(name='lyft_10k', description='Provides information about Lyft financial
),
QueryEngineTool(
query_engine=uber_engine,
metadata=ToolMetadata(name='uber_10k', description='Provides information about Uber financial
),
]

s_engine = SubQuestionQueryEngine.from_defaults(query_engine_tools=query_engine_tools)

Let's see these queries in action!

response = await s_engine.aquery('Compare and contrast the customer segments and geographies that gre

Nirant
Open in Github
Sep 3, 2023

The aim of this notebook is to walk through a comprehensive example of how to fine-tune
OpenAI models for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

We will also be integrating Qdrant and Few-Shot Learning to boost the model's performance
and reduce hallucinations. This could serve as a practical guide for ML practitioners, data
scientists, and AI Engineers interested in leveraging the power of OpenAI models for specific
use-cases. 🤩
Why should you read this blog?

Fine-tune OpenAI models for specific use-cases

Use Qdrant to improve the performance of your RAG model

Use fine-tuning to improve the correctness of your RAG model and reduce hallucinations

To begin, we've selected a dataset where we've a guarantee that the retrieval is perfect. We've
selected a subset of the SQuAD dataset, which is a collection of questions and answers about
Wikipedia articles. We've also included samples where the answer is not present in the context,
to demonstrate how RAG handles this case.

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)? The phrase Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
comes from a recent paper by Lewis et al. from Facebook AI. The idea is to use a pre-trained
language model (LM) to generate text, but to use a separate retrieval system to find relevant
documents to condition the LM on.

What is Qdrant? Qdrant is an open-source vector search engine that allows you to search for
similar vectors in a large dataset. It is built in Rust and here we'll use the Python client to
interact with it. This is the Retrieval part of RAG.

What is Few-Shot Learning? Few-shot learning is a type of machine learning where the model
is "improved" via training or fine-tuning on a small amount of data. In this case, we'll use it to
fine-tune the RAG model on a small number of examples from the SQuAD dataset. This is the
Augmented part of RAG.

What is Zero-Shot Learning? Zero-shot learning is a type of machine learning where the model
is "improved" via training or fine-tuning without any dataset specific information.

What is Fine-Tuning? Fine-tuning is a type of machine learning where the model is "improved"
via training or fine-tuning on a small amount of data. In this case, we'll use it to fine-tune the
RAG model on a small number of examples from the SQuAD dataset. The LLM is what makes
the Generation part of RAG.

2. Data Preparation: SQuADv2 Data Subsets

For the purpose of demonstration, we'll make small slices from the train and validation splits of
the SQuADv2 dataset. This dataset has questions and contexts where the answer is not present
in the context, to help us evaluate how LLM handles this case.

We'll read the data from the JSON files and create a dataframe with the following columns:
question , context , answer , is_impossible .

Download the Data

# !mkdir -p local_cache
# !wget https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/dataset/train-v2.0.json -O local_cache/train.json
# !wget https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/dataset/dev-v2.0.json -O local_cache/dev.json

val_df = json_to_dataframe_with_titles(json.load(open('local_cache/dev.json')))

df = get_diverse_sample(val_df, sample_size=100, random_state=42)

3. Answering using Base gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 model

3.1 Zero Shot Prompt

Let's start by using the base gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 model to answer the questions. This prompt is
a simple concatenation of the question and context, with a separator token in between: \n\n .
We've a simple instruction part of the prompt:

“Answer the following Question based on the Context only. Only answer from the Context. If
you don't know the answer, say 'I don't know'.”

Other prompts are possible, but this is a good starting point. We'll use this prompt to answer
the questions in the validation set.

# Function to get prompt messages


def get_prompt(row):
return [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
{
"role": "user",
"content": f"""Answer the following Question based on the Context only. Only answer from
Question: {row.question}\n\n
Context: {row.context}\n\n
Answer:\n""",
},
]

3.2 Answering using Zero Shot Prompt

Next, you'll need some re-usable functions which make an OpenAI API Call and return the
answer. You'll use the ChatCompletion.create endpoint of the API, which takes a prompt and
returns the completed text.

# Function with tenacity for retries


@retry(wait=wait_exponential(multiplier=1, min=2, max=6))
def api_call(messages, model):
return client.chat.completions.create(
model=model,
messages=messages,
stop=["\n\n"],
max_tokens=100,
temperature=0.0,
)

# Main function to answer question


def answer_question(row, prompt_func=get_prompt, model="gpt-3.5-turbo"):
messages = prompt_func(row)
response = api_call(messages, model)
return response.choices[0].message.content

⏰ Time to run: ~3 min, 🛜 Needs Internet Connection

# Use progress_apply with tqdm for progress bar


df["generated_answer"] = df.progress_apply(answer_question, axis=1)
df.to_json("local_cache/100_val.json", orient="records", lines=True)
df = pd.read_json("local_cache/100_val.json", orient="records", lines=True)

4. Fine-tuning and Answering using Fine-tuned model

For the complete fine-tuning process, please refer to the OpenAI Fine-Tuning Docs.

4.1 Prepare the Fine-Tuning Data

We need to prepare the data for fine-tuning. We'll use a few samples from train split of same
dataset as before, but we'll add the answer to the context. This will help the model learn to
retrieve the answer from the context.

Our instruction prompt is the same as before, and so is the system prompt.

def dataframe_to_jsonl(df):
def create_jsonl_entry(row):
answer = row["answers"][0] if row["answers"] else "I don't know"
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
{
"role": "user",
"content": f"""Answer the following Question based on the Context only. Only answer f
Question: {row.question}\n\n
Context: {row.context}\n\n

},
{"role": "assistant", "content": answer},
]
return json.dumps({"messages": messages})

jsonl_output = df.apply(create_jsonl_entry, axis=1)


return "\n".join(jsonl_output)

train_sample = get_diverse_sample(train_df, sample_size=100, random_state=42)


with open("local_cache/100_train.jsonl", "w") as f:
f.write(dataframe_to_jsonl(train_sample))

Tip: 💡 Verify the Fine-Tuning Data

Let's try out the fine-tuned model on the same validation set as before. You'll use the same
prompt as before, but you will use the fine-tuned model instead of the base model. Before you
do that, you can make a simple call to get a sense of how the fine-tuned model is doing.

df["ft_generated_answer"] = df.progress_apply(answer_question, model=model_id, axis=1)

5. Evaluation: How well does the model perform?

To evaluate the model's performance, compare the predicted answer to the actual answers -- if
any of the actual answers are present in the predicted answer, then it's a match. We've also
created error categories to help you understand where the model is struggling.

When we know that a correct answer exists in the context, we can measure the model's
performance, there are 3 possible outcomes:

1. ✅ Answered Correctly: The model responded the correct answer. It may have also
included other answers that were not in the context.

2. ❎ Skipped: The model responded with "I don't know" (IDK) while the answer was present
in the context. It's better than giving the wrong answer. It's better for the model say "I don't
know" than giving the wrong answer. In our design, we know that a true answer exists and
hence we're able to measure it -- this is not always the case. This is a model error. We
exclude this from the overall error rate.

3. ❌ Wrong: The model responded with an incorrect answer. This is a model ERROR.

When we know that a correct answer does not exist in the context, we can measure the model's
performance, there are 2 possible outcomes:

4. ❌ Hallucination: The model responded with an answer, when "I don't know" was
expected. This is a model ERROR.

5. ✅ I don't know: The model responded with "I don't know" (IDK) and the answer was not
present in the context. This is a model WIN.

Notice that the fine-tuned model skips questions more often -- and makes fewer mistakes. This
is because the fine-tuned model is more conservative and skips questions when it's not sure.

evaluator.plot_model_comparison(["generated_answer", "ft_generated_answer"], scenario="idk_expected",

Notice that the fine-tuned model has learnt to say "I don't know" a lot better than the prompt.
Or, the model has gotten good at skipping questions.

Observations
1. The fine-tuned model is better at saying "I don't know"

2. Hallucinations drop from 100% to 15% with fine-tuning

3. Wrong answers drop from 17% to 6% with fine-tuning

Correct answers also drop from 83% to 60% with fine-tuning - this is because the fine-tuned
model is more conservative and says "I don't know" more often. This is a good thing because
it's better to say "I don't know" than to give a wrong answer.

That said, we want to improve the correctness of the model, even if that increases the
hallucinations. We're looking for a model that is both correct and conservative, striking a
balance between the two. We'll use Qdrant and Few-Shot Learning to achieve this.

💪 You're 2/3rds of the way there! Keep reading!

Section B: Few Shot Learning


We'll select a few examples from the dataset, including cases where the answer is not present in
the context. We'll then use these examples to create a prompt that we can use to fine-tune the
model. We'll then measure the performance of the fine-tuned model.

6. Fine-Tuning OpenAI Model with Qdrant

So far, we've been using the OpenAI model to answer questions without using examples of the
answer. The previous step made it work better on in-context examples, while this one helps it
generalize to unseen data, and attempt to learn when to say "I don't know" and when to give an
answer.
This is where few-shot learning comes in!

Few-shot learning is a type of transfer learning that allows us to answer questions where the
answer is not present in the context. We can do this by providing a few examples of the answer
we're looking for, and the model will learn to answer questions where the answer is not present
in the context.

5.1 Embed the Training Data

Embeddings are a way to represent sentences as an array of floats. We'll use the embeddings to
find the most similar questions to the ones we're looking for.

import os
from qdrant_client import QdrantClient
from qdrant_client.http import models
from qdrant_client.http.models import PointStruct
from qdrant_client.http.models import Distance, VectorParams

Now that we've the Qdrant imports in place,

qdrant_client = QdrantClient(
url=os.getenv("QDRANT_URL"), api_key=os.getenv("QDRANT_API_KEY"), timeout=6000, prefer_grpc=True
)

collection_name = "squadv2-cookbook"

# # Create the collection, run this only once


# qdrant_client.recreate_collection(
# collection_name=collection_name,
# vectors_config=VectorParams(size=384, distance=Distance.COSINE),
# )

from fastembed.embedding import DefaultEmbedding


from typing import List
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from tqdm.notebook import tqdm

tqdm.pandas()

embedding_model = DefaultEmbedding()

5.2 Embedding the Questions


Next, you'll embed the entire training set questions. You'll use the question to question
similarity to find the most similar questions to the question we're looking for. This is a workflow
which is used in RAG to leverage the OpenAI model ability of incontext learning with more
examples. This is what we call Few Shot Learning here.

❗️⏰ Important Note: This step can take up to 3 hours to complete. Please be patient. If you
see Out of Memory errors or Kernel Crashes, please reduce the batch size to 32, restart the
kernel and run the notebook again. This code needs to be run only ONCE.

Function Breakdown for generate_points_from_dataframe

1. Initialization: batch_size = 512 and total_batches set the stage for how many questions
will be processed in one go. This is to prevent memory issues. If your machine can handle
more, feel free to increase the batch size. If your kernel crashes, reduce the batch size to 32
and try again.

2. Progress Bar: tqdm gives you a nice progress bar so you don't fall asleep.

3. Batch Loop: The for-loop iterates through batches. start_idx and end_idx define the
slice of the DataFrame to process.

4. Generate Embeddings: batch_embeddings = embedding_model.embed(batch,


batch_size=batch_size) - This is where the magic happens. Your questions get turned into

embeddings.

5. PointStruct Generation: Using .progress_apply , it turns each row into a PointStruct


object. This includes an ID, the embedding vector, and other metadata.

Returns the list of PointStruct objects, which can be used to create a collection in Qdrant.

def generate_points_from_dataframe(df: pd.DataFrame) -> List[PointStruct]:


batch_size = 512
questions = df["question"].tolist()
total_batches = len(questions) // batch_size + 1

pbar = tqdm(total=len(questions), desc="Generating embeddings")

# Generate embeddings in batches to improve performance


embeddings = []
for i in range(total_batches):
start_idx = i * batch_size
end_idx = min((i + 1) * batch_size, len(questions))
batch = questions[start_idx:end_idx]

batch_embeddings = embedding_model.embed(batch, batch_size=batch_size)


embeddings.extend(batch_embeddings)
pbar.update(len(batch))

pbar.close()

# Convert embeddings to list of lists


embeddings_list = [embedding.tolist() for embedding in embeddings]

# Create a temporary DataFrame to hold the embeddings and existing DataFrame columns
temp_df = df.copy()
temp_df["embeddings"] = embeddings_list
temp_df["id"] = temp_df.index

# Generate PointStruct objects using DataFrame apply method


points = temp_df.progress_apply(
lambda row: PointStruct(
id=row["id"],
vector=row["embeddings"],
payload={
"question": row["question"],
"title": row["title"],
"context": row["context"],
"is_impossible": row["is_impossible"],
"answers": row["answers"],
},
),
axis=1,
).tolist()

return points

points = generate_points_from_dataframe(train_df)

Upload the Embeddings to Qdrant

Note that configuring Qdrant is outside the scope of this notebook. Please refer to the Qdrant
for more information. We used a timeout of 600 seconds for the upload, and grpc compression
to speed up the upload.

operation_info = qdrant_client.upsert(
collection_name=collection_name, wait=True, points=points
)
print(operation_info)

6. Using Qdrant to Improve RAG Prompt

Now that we've uploaded the embeddings to Qdrant, we can use Qdrant to find the most
similar questions to the question we're looking for. We'll use the top 5 most similar questions to
create a prompt that we can use to fine-tune the model. We'll then measure the performance of
the fine-tuned model on the same validation set, but with few shot prompting!

Our main function get_few_shot_prompt serves as the workhorse for generating prompts for
few-shot learning. It does this by retrieving similar questions from Qdrant - a vector search
engine, using an embeddings model. Here is the high-level workflow:

1. Retrieve similar questions from Qdrant where the answer is present in the context

2. Retrieve similar questions from Qdrant where the answer is IMPOSSIBLE i.e. the expected
answer is "I don't know" to find in the context

3. Create a prompt using the retrieved questions

4. Fine-tune the model using the prompt

5. Evaluate the fine-tuned model on the validation set with the same prompting technique

def get_few_shot_prompt(row):

query, row_context = row["question"], row["context"]

embeddings = list(embedding_model.embed([query]))
query_embedding = embeddings[0].tolist()

num_of_qa_to_retrieve = 5

return rag_prompt

# ⏰ Time: 2 min
train_sample["few_shot_prompt"] = train_sample.progress_apply(get_few_shot_prompt, axis=1)

7. Fine-Tuning OpenAI Model with Qdrant

7.1 Upload the Fine-Tuning Data to OpenAI


# Prepare the OpenAI File format i.e. JSONL from train_sample
def dataframe_to_jsonl(df):
def create_jsonl_entry(row):
messages = row["few_shot_prompt"]
return json.dumps({"messages": messages})

jsonl_output = df.progress_apply(create_jsonl_entry, axis=1)

df.to_json("local_cache/100_val_ft_few_shot.json", orient="records", lines=True)

8. Evaluation

But how well does the model perform? Let's compare the results from the 3 different models
we've looked at so far:

evaluator = Evaluator(df)
evaluator.plot_model_comparison(["generated_answer", "ft_generated_answer", "ft_generated_answer_few_
This is quite amazing -- we're able to get the best of both worlds! We're able to get the model
to be both correct and conservative:

1. The model is correct 83% of the time -- this is the same as the base model

2. The model gives the wrong answer only 8% of the time -- down from 17% with the base
model

Next, let's look at the hallucinations. We want to reduce the hallucinations, but not at the cost of
correctness. We want to strike a balance between the two. We've struck a good balance here:

1. The model hallucinates 53% of the time -- down from 100% with the base model

2. The model says "I don't know" 47% of the time -- up from NEVER with the base model

evaluator.plot_model_comparison(["generated_answer", "ft_generated_answer", "ft_generated_answer_few_

Few Shot Fine-Tuning with Qdrant is a great way to control and steer the performance of your
RAG system. Here, we made the model less conservative compared to zero shot and more
confident by using Qdrant to find similar questions.

You can also use Qdrant to make the model more conservative. We did this by giving examples
of questions where the answer is not present in the context.
This is biasing the model to say "I don't know" more often.
Similarly, one can also use Qdrant to make the model more confident by giving examples of
questions where the answer is present in the context. This biases the model to give an answer
more often. The trade-off is that the model will also hallucinate more often.

You can make this trade off by adjusting the training data: distribution of questions and
examples, as well as the kind and number of examples you retrieve from Qdrant.

9. Conclusion

In this notebook, we've demonstrated how to fine-tune OpenAI models for specific use-cases.
We've also demonstrated how to use Qdrant and Few-Shot Learning to improve the
performance of the model.

Aggregate Results
So far, we've looked at the results for each scenario separately, i.e. each scenario summed to
100. Let's look at the results as an aggregate to get a broader sense of how the model is
performing:

Category Base Fine-Tuned Fine-Tuned with Qdrant

Correct 44% 32% 44%

Skipped 0% 18% 5%

Wrong 9% 3% 4%

Hallucination 47% 7% 25%

I don't know 0% 40% 22%

Observations
Compared to base model

1. The few shot fine-tuned with Qdrant model is as good as the base model at answering
questions where the answer is present in the context.
2. The few shot fine-tuned with Qdrant model is better at saying "I don't know" when the
answer is not present in the context.

3. The few shot fine-tuned with Qdrant model is better at reducing hallucinations.

Compared to fine-tuned model

1. The few shot fine-tuned with Qdrant model gets more correct answers than the fine-tuned
model: 83% of the questions are answered correctly vs 60% for the fine-tuned model

2. The few shot fine-tuned with Qdrant model is better at deciding when to say "I don't know"
when the answer is not present in the context. 34% skip rate for the plain fine-tuning
mode, vs 9% for the few shot fine-tuned with Qdrant model

Now, you should be able to:

1. Notice the trade-offs between number of correct answers and hallucinations -- and how
training dataset choice influences that!

2. Fine-tune OpenAI models for specific use-cases and use Qdrant to improve the
performance of your RAG model

3. Get started on how to evaluate the performance of your RAG model

Cassandra / Astra DB
Stefano Lottini
Open in Github
Aug 28, 2023

The demos in this directory show how to use the Vector Search capabilities available today in
DataStax Astra DB, a serverless Database-as-a-Service built on Apache Cassandra®.

These example notebooks demonstrate implementation of the same GenAI standard RAG
workload with different libraries and APIs.

To use Astra DB with its HTTP API interface, head to the "AstraPy" notebook ( astrapy is the
Python client to interact with the database).

If you prefer CQL access to the database (either with Astra DB or a Cassandra cluster
supporting vector search), check the "CQL" or "CassIO" notebooks -- they differ in the level of
abstraction you get to work at.

If you want to know more about Astra DB and its Vector Search capabilities, head over to
datastax.com.

Example notebooks

The following examples show how easily OpenAI and DataStax Astra DB can work together to
power vector-based AI applications. You can run them either with your local Jupyter engine or
as Colab notebooks:

Question answering using a search API and re-

Searching for relevant information can sometimes feel like looking for a needle in a haystack,
but don’t despair, GPTs can actually do a lot of this work for us. In this guide we explore a way
to augment existing search systems with various AI techniques, helping us sift through the
noise.

Two ways of retrieving information for GPT are:

1. Mimicking Human Browsing: GPT triggers a search, evaluates the results, and modifies the
search query if necessary. It can also follow up on specific search results to form a chain of
thought, much like a human user would do.

2. Retrieval with Embeddings: Calculate embeddings for your content and a user query, and
then retrieve the content most related as measured by cosine similarity. This technique is
used heavily by search engines like Google.

These approaches are both promising, but each has their shortcomings: the first one can be
slow due to its iterative nature and the second one requires embedding your entire knowledge
base in advance, continuously embedding new content and maintaining a vector database.

By combining these approaches, and drawing inspiration from re-ranking methods, we identify
an approach that sits in the middle. This approach can be implemented on top of any existing
search system, like the Slack search API, or an internal ElasticSearch instance with private
data. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Search

1. User asks a question.

2. GPT generates a list of potential queries.

3. Search queries are executed in parallel.

Step 2: Re-rank

1. Embeddings for each result are used to calculate semantic similarity to a generated
hypothetical ideal answer to the user question.

2. Results are ranked and filtered based on this similarity metric.

Step 3: Answer

1. Given the top search results, the model generates an answer to the user’s question,
including references and links.

This hybrid approach offers relatively low latency and can be integrated into any existing search
endpoint, without requiring the upkeep of a vector database. Let's dive into it! We will use the
News API as an example domain to search over.

Setup
In addition to your OPENAI_API_KEY , you'll have to include a NEWS_API_KEY in your
environment. You can get an API key here.

%%capture
%env NEWS_API_KEY = YOUR_NEWS_API_KEY

# Dependencies
from datetime import date, timedelta # date handling for fetching recent news
from IPython import display # for pretty printing
import json # for parsing the JSON api responses and model outputs
from numpy import dot # for cosine similarity
from openai import OpenAI
import os # for loading environment variables
import requests # for making the API requests
from tqdm.notebook import tqdm # for printing progress bars

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

# Load environment variables


news_api_key = os.getenv("NEWS_API_KEY")

GPT_MODEL = "gpt-3.5-turbo"

# Helper functions
def json_gpt(input: str):
completion = client.chat.completions.create(model=GPT_MODEL,
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "Output only valid JSON"},
{"role": "user", "content": input},
],
temperature=0.5)

text = completion.choices[0].message.content
parsed = json.loads(text)

return parsed

def embeddings(input: list[str]) -> list[list[str]]:


response = client.embeddings.create(model="text-embedding-3-small", input=input)
return [data.embedding for data in response.data]

1. Search

It all starts with a user question.

# User asks a question


USER_QUESTION = "Who won the NBA championship? And who was the MVP? Tell me a bit about the last game

Now, in order to be as exhaustive as possible, we use the model to generate a list of diverse
queries based on this question.

QUERIES_INPUT = f"""
You have access to a search API that returns recent news articles.
Generate an array of search queries that are relevant to this question.
Use a variation of related keywords for the queries, trying to be as general as possible.
Include as many queries as you can think of, including and excluding terms.
For example, include queries like ['keyword_1 keyword_2', 'keyword_1', 'keyword_2'].
Be creative. The more queries you include, the more likely you are to find relevant results.

User question: {USER_QUESTION}

Format: {{"queries": ["query_1", "query_2", "query_3"]}}


"""

queries = json_gpt(QUERIES_INPUT)["queries"]

# Let's include the original question as well for good measure


queries.append(USER_QUESTION)

queries

['NBA championship winner',


'MVP of NBA championship',
'Last game of NBA championship',
'NBA finals winner',
'Most valuable player of NBA championship',
'Finals game of NBA',
'Who won the NBA finals',
'NBA championship game summary',
'NBA finals MVP',
'Champion of NBA playoffs',
'NBA finals last game highlights',
'NBA championship series result',
'NBA finals game score',
'NBA finals game recap',
'NBA champion team and player',
'NBA finals statistics',
'NBA championship final score',
'NBA finals best player',
'NBA playoffs champion and MVP',
'NBA finals game analysis',
'Who won the NBA championship? And who was the MVP? Tell me a bit about the last game.']

The queries look good, so let's run the searches.


def search_news(
query: str,
news_api_key: str = news_api_key,
num_articles: int = 50,

As we can see, oftentimes, the search queries will return a large number of results, many of
which are not relevant to the original question asked by the user. In order to improve the
quality of the final answer, we use embeddings to re-rank and filter the results.

2. Re-rank

Drawing inspiration from HyDE (Gao et al.), we first generate a hypothetical ideal answer to
rerank our compare our results against. This helps prioritize results that look like good answers,
rather than those similar to our question. Here’s the prompt we use to generate our
hypothetical answer.

HA_INPUT = f"""
Generate a hypothetical answer to the user's question. This answer will be used to rank search result

like NAME did something, or NAME said something at PLACE.

"""

hypothetical_answer = json_gpt(HA_INPUT)["hypotheticalAnswer"]

hypothetical_answer

'The NBA championship was won by TEAM NAME. The MVP was awarded to PLAYER NAME. The last game w

Now, let's generate embeddings for the search results and the hypothetical answer. We then
calculate the cosine distance between these embeddings, giving us a semantic similarity metric.
Note that we can simply calculate the dot product in lieu of doing a full cosine similarity
calculation since the OpenAI embeddings are returned normalized in our API.

hypothetical_answer_embedding = embeddings(hypothetical_answer)[0]
article_embeddings = embeddings(
[
f"{article['title']} {article['description']} {article['content'][0:100]}"
for article in articles
]
)

# Calculate cosine similarity


cosine_similarities = []
for article_embedding in article_embeddings:
cosine_similarities.append(dot(hypothetical_answer_embedding, article_embedding))

cosine_similarities[0:10]

[0.7854456526852069,

0.804733946801739,
0.8405965885235218]

Finally, we use these similarity scores to sort and filter the results.

scored_articles = zip(articles, cosine_similarities)

# Sort articles by cosine similarity


sorted_articles = sorted(scored_articles, key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)

# Print top 5 articles


print("Top 5 articles:", "\n")

Using Redis as a Vector Database with OpenAI


Sam Partee
Open in Github
Feb 12, 2023

This notebook provides an introduction to using Redis as a vector database with OpenAI
embeddings. Redis is a scalable, real-time database that can be used as a vector database when
using the RediSearch Module. The RediSearch module allows you to index and search for
vectors in Redis. This notebook will show you how to use the RediSearch module to index and
search for vectors created by using the OpenAI API and stored in Redis.

What is Redis?
Most developers from a web services background are probably familiar with Redis. At it's core,
Redis is an open-source key-value store that can be used as a cache, message broker, and
database. Developers choice Redis because it is fast, has a large ecosystem of client libraries,
and has been deployed by major enterprises for years.

In addition to the traditional uses of Redis. Redis also provides Redis Modules which are a way
to extend Redis with new data types and commands. Example modules include RedisJSON,
RedisTimeSeries, RedisBloom and RediSearch.

What is RediSearch?

RediSearch is a Redis module that provides querying, secondary indexing, full-text search and
vector search for Redis. To use RediSearch, you first declare indexes on your Redis data. You can
then use the RediSearch clients to query that data. For more information on the feature set of
RediSearch, see the README or the RediSearch documentation.

Deployment options
There are a number of ways to deploy Redis. For local development, the quickest method is to
use the Redis Stack docker container which we will use here. Redis Stack contains a number of
Redis modules that can be used together to create a fast, multi-model data store and query
engine.

For production use cases, The easiest way to get started is to use the Redis Cloud service. Redis
Cloud is a fully managed Redis service. You can also deploy Redis on your own infrastructure
using Redis Enterprise. Redis Enterprise is a fully managed Redis service that can be deployed in
kubernetes, on-premises or in the cloud.

Additionally, every major cloud provider (AWS Marketplace, Google Marketplace, or Azure
Marketplace) offers Redis Enterprise in a marketplace offering.

Prerequisites

Before we start this project, we need to set up the following:

start a Redis database with RediSearch (redis-stack)

install libraries

Redis-py

get your OpenAI API key

===========================================================

Start Redis

To keep this example simple, we will use the Redis Stack docker container which we can start as
follows

$ docker-compose up -d

This also includes the RedisInsight GUI for managing your Redis database which you can view
at http://localhost:8001 once you start the docker container.
You're all set up and ready to go! Next, we import and create our client for communicating with
the Redis database we just created.

Install Requirements

Redis-Py is the python client for communicating with Redis. We will use this to communicate
with our Redis-stack database.

! pip install redis wget pandas openai

===========================================================

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of query data.

If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY by
using following command:

! export OPENAI_API_KEY="your API key"

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for
import os
import openai

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = 'sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


openai.api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
print ("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print ("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")
OPENAI_API_KEY is ready

Load data

In this section we'll load embedded data that has already been converted into vectors. We'll use
this data to create an index in Redis and then search for similar vectors.

import sys
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from typing import List

# use helper function in nbutils.py to download and read the data


# this should take from 5-10 min to run
if os.getcwd() not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(os.getcwd())
import nbutils

nbutils.download_wikipedia_data()
data = nbutils.read_wikipedia_data()

data.head()

Connect to Redis

Now that we have our Redis database running, we can connect to it using the Redis-py client.
We will use the default host and port for the Redis database which is localhost:6379 .

import redis
from redis.commands.search.indexDefinition import (
IndexDefinition,
IndexType
)
from redis.commands.search.query import Query
from redis.commands.search.field import (
TextField,
VectorField
)

REDIS_HOST = "localhost"
REDIS_PORT = 6379
REDIS_PASSWORD = "" # default for passwordless Redis

# Connect to Redis
redis_client = redis.Redis(
host=REDIS_HOST,
port=REDIS_PORT,
password=REDIS_PASSWORD
)
redis_client.ping()

True

Creating a Search Index in Redis

The below cells will show how to specify and create a search index in Redis. We will:

1. Set some constants for defining our index like the distance metric and the index name

2. Define the index schema with RediSearch fields

3. Create the index

# Constants
VECTOR_DIM = len(data['title_vector'][0]) # length of the vectors
VECTOR_NUMBER = len(data) # initial number of vectors
INDEX_NAME = "embeddings-index" # name of the search index
PREFIX = "doc" # prefix for the document keys
DISTANCE_METRIC = "COSINE" # distance metric for the vectors (ex. COSINE, IP, L2)

# Define RediSearch fields for each of the columns in the dataset


title = TextField(name="title")
url = TextField(name="url")
text = TextField(name="text")
title_embedding = VectorField("title_vector",
"FLAT", {
"TYPE": "FLOAT32",
"DIM": VECTOR_DIM,
"DISTANCE_METRIC": DISTANCE_METRIC,
"INITIAL_CAP": VECTOR_NUMBER,
}
)
text_embedding = VectorField("content_vector",
"FLAT", {
"TYPE": "FLOAT32",
"DIM": VECTOR_DIM,
"DISTANCE_METRIC": DISTANCE_METRIC,
"INITIAL_CAP": VECTOR_NUMBER,
}
)
fields = [title, url, text, title_embedding, text_embedding]

# Check if index exists


try:
redis_client.ft(INDEX_NAME).info()
print("Index already exists")
except:
# Create RediSearch Index
redis_client.ft(INDEX_NAME).create_index(
fields = fields,
definition = IndexDefinition(prefix=[PREFIX], index_type=IndexType.HASH)
)

Load Documents into the Index

Now that we have a search index, we can load documents into it. We will use the same
documents we used in the previous examples. In Redis, either the HASH or JSON (if using
RedisJSON in addition to RediSearch) data types can be used to store documents. We will use
the HASH data type in this example. The below cells will show how to load documents into the
index.

def index_documents(client: redis.Redis, prefix: str, documents: pd.DataFrame):


records = documents.to_dict("records")
for doc in records:
key = f"{prefix}:{str(doc['id'])}"

# create byte vectors for title and content


title_embedding = np.array(doc["title_vector"], dtype=np.float32).tobytes()
content_embedding = np.array(doc["content_vector"], dtype=np.float32).tobytes()

# replace list of floats with byte vectors


doc["title_vector"] = title_embedding
doc["content_vector"] = content_embedding

client.hset(key, mapping = doc)

index_documents(redis_client, PREFIX, data)


print(f"Loaded {redis_client.info()['db0']['keys']} documents in Redis search index with name: {INDEX

Loaded 25000 documents in Redis search index with name: embeddings-index

Simple Vector Search Queries with OpenAI Query Embeddings

Now that we have a search index and documents loaded into it, we can run search queries.
Below we will provide a function that will run a search query and return the results. Using this
function we run a few queries that will show how you can utilize Redis as a vector database.

def search_redis(
redis_client: redis.Redis,
user_query: str,
index_name: str = "embeddings-index",
vector_field: str = "title_vector",
return_fields: list = ["title", "url", "text", "vector_score"],
hybrid_fields = "*",
k: int = 20,
print_results: bool = True,
) -> List[dict]:

# Creates embedding vector from user query


embedded_query = openai.Embedding.create(input=user_query,
model="text-embedding-3-small",
)["data"][0]['embedding']

# Prepare the Query


base_query = f'{hybrid_fields}=>[KNN {k} @{vector_field} $vector AS vector_score]'
query = (
Query(base_query)
.return_fields(*return_fields)
.sort_by("vector_score")
.paging(0, k)
.dialect(2)
)
params_dict = {"vector": np.array(embedded_query).astype(dtype=np.float32).tobytes()}

# perform vector search


results = redis_client.ft(index_name).search(query, params_dict)
if print_results:
for i, article in enumerate(results.docs):
score = 1 - float(article.vector_score)
print(f"{i}. {article.title} (Score: {round(score ,3) })")
return results.docs

# For using OpenAI to generate query embedding


results = search_redis(redis_client, 'modern art in Europe', k=10)

Hybrid Queries with Redis

The previous examples showed how run vector search queries with RediSearch. In this section,
we will show how to combine vector search with other RediSearch fields for hybrid search. In the
below example, we will combine vector search with full text search.
def create_hybrid_field(field_name: str, value: str) -> str:
return f'@{field_name}:"{value}"'

# search the content vector for articles about famous battles in Scottish history and only include re

HNSW Index

Up until now, we've been using the FLAT or "brute-force" index to run our queries. Redis also
supports the HNSW index which is a fast, approximate index. The HNSW index is a graph-based
index that uses a hierarchical navigable small world graph to store vectors. The HNSW index is a
good choice for large datasets where you want to run approximate queries.

HNSW will take longer to build and consume more memory for most cases than FLAT but will
be faster to run queries on, especially for large datasets.

The following cells will show how to create an HNSW index and run queries with it using the
same data as before.

# re-define RediSearch vector fields to use HNSW index


title_embedding = VectorField("title_vector",
"HNSW", {
"TYPE": "FLOAT32",
"DIM": VECTOR_DIM,
"DISTANCE_METRIC": DISTANCE_METRIC,
"INITIAL_CAP": VECTOR_NUMBER
}
)
text_embedding = VectorField("content_vector",
"HNSW", {
"TYPE": "FLOAT32",
"DIM": VECTOR_DIM,
"DISTANCE_METRIC": DISTANCE_METRIC,
"INITIAL_CAP": VECTOR_NUMBER
}
)
fields = [title, url, text, title_embedding, text_embedding]

import time
# Check if index exists
HNSW_INDEX_NAME = INDEX_NAME+ "_HNSW"

try:
redis_client.ft(HNSW_INDEX_NAME).info()
print("Index already exists")
except:
# Create RediSearch Index
redis_client.ft(HNSW_INDEX_NAME).create_index(
fields = fields,
definition = IndexDefinition(prefix=[PREFIX], index_type=IndexType.HASH)
)

# since RediSearch creates the index in the background for existing documents, we will wait until
# indexing is complete before running our queries. Although this is not necessary for the first query
# some queries may take longer to run if the index is not fully built. In general, Redis will perform
# best when adding new documents to existing indices rather than new indices on existing documents.
while redis_client.ft(HNSW_INDEX_NAME).info()["indexing"] == "1":
time.sleep(5)

Using Qdrant for Embeddings Search


Colin Jarvis, Kacper Łukawski
Open in Github
Jun 27, 2023

This notebook takes you through a simple flow to download some data, embed it, and then
index and search it using a selection of vector databases. This is a common requirement for
customers who want to store and search our embeddings with their own data in a secure
environment to support production use cases such as chatbots, topic modelling and more.

What is a Vector Database


A vector database is a database made to store, manage and search embedding vectors. The use
of embeddings to encode unstructured data (text, audio, video and more) as vectors for
consumption by machine-learning models has exploded in recent years, due to the increasing
effectiveness of AI in solving use cases involving natural language, image recognition and other
unstructured forms of data. Vector databases have emerged as an effective solution for
enterprises to deliver and scale these use cases.

Why use a Vector Database

Vector databases enable enterprises to take many of the embeddings use cases we've shared in
this repo (question and answering, chatbot and recommendation services, for example), and
make use of them in a secure, scalable environment. Many of our customers make embeddings
solve their problems at small scale but performance and security hold them back from going
into production - we see vector databases as a key component in solving that, and in this guide
we'll walk through the basics of embedding text data, storing it in a vector database and using it
for semantic search.

Demo Flow
The demo flow is:
Setup: Import packages and set any required variables

Load data: Load a dataset and embed it using OpenAI embeddings

Qdrant

Setup: Here we'll set up the Python client for Qdrant. For more details go here

Index Data: We'll create a collection with vectors for titles and content

Search Data: We'll run a few searches to confirm it works

Once you've run through this notebook you should have a basic understanding of how to setup
and use vector databases, and can move on to more complex use cases making use of our
embeddings.

Setup

Import the required libraries and set the embedding model that we'd like to use.

Qdrant
Qdrant. is a high-performant vector search database written in Rust. It offers both on-premise
and cloud version, but for the purposes of that example we're going to use the local
deployment mode.

Setting everything up will require:

Spinning up a local instance of Qdrant

Configuring the collection and storing the data in it

Trying out with some queries

Setup
For the local deployment, we are going to use Docker, according to the Qdrant documentation:
https://qdrant.tech/documentation/quick_start/. Qdrant requires just a single container, but
an example of the docker-compose.yaml file is available at ./qdrant/docker-compose.yaml in
this repo.

You can start Qdrant instance locally by navigating to this directory and running docker-
compose up -d

qdrant = qdrant_client.QdrantClient(host='localhost', prefer_grpc=True)

qdrant.get_collections()

CollectionsResponse(collections=[CollectionDescription(name='Routines')])

Index data

Qdrant stores data in collections where each object is described by at least one vector and may
contain an additional metadata called payload. Our collection will be called Articles and each
object will be described by both title and content vectors.

We'll be using an official qdrant-client package that has all the utility methods already built-in.
from qdrant_client.http import models as rest

vector_size = len(article_df['content_vector'][0])

qdrant.recreate_collection(
collection_name='Articles',
vectors_config={
'title': rest.VectorParams(
distance=rest.Distance.COSINE,
size=vector_size,
),
'content': rest.VectorParams(
distance=rest.Distance.COSINE,
size=vector_size,
),
}
)

True

qdrant.upsert(
collection_name='Articles',
points=[
rest.PointStruct(
id=k,
vector={
'title': v['title_vector'],
'content': v['content_vector'],
},
payload=v.to_dict(),
)
for k, v in article_df.iterrows()
],
)

UpdateResult(operation_id=0, status=<UpdateStatus.COMPLETED: 'completed'>)

# Check the collection size to make sure all the points have been stored
qdrant.count(collection_name='Articles')

CountResult(count=25000)
Search Data

Once the data is put into Qdrant we will start querying the collection for the closest vectors. We
may provide an additional parameter vector_name to switch from title to content based search.

def query_qdrant(query, collection_name, vector_name='title', top_k=20):

# Creates embedding vector from user query

Fine-Tuned Q&A - Train


Ted Sanders, Boris Power
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

Note: To answer questions based on text documents, we recommend the procedure in Question
Answering using Embeddings. Some of the code below may rely on deprecated API endpoints.

3. Train a fine-tuning model specialized


for Q&A
This notebook will utilize the dataset of context, question and answer pairs to additionally
create adversarial questions and context pairs, where the question was not generated on that
context. In those cases the model will be prompted to answer "No sufficient context for
answering the question". We will also train a discriminator model, which predicts whether the
question can be answered based on the context or not.

We will add hard adversarial examples as well, which will be based either on semantically similar
sections, or neighbouring sections, originating from the same article.

Split the sections into a training and testing set

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split


train_df, test_df = train_test_split(df, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
len(train_df), len(test_df)

(3014, 754)

we check that the separator we intend to use isn't present within the contexts

df.context.str.contains('->').sum()

3.1 Create the fine-tuning datasets for Q&A and discriminator


models

The fine-tuning dataset is created in the following way. For every corresponding question,
answer and context pair we create:

Positive example: correct question, answer, context pair


Negative examples:

random negative example, where the random context is paired with the question

two hard negative examples

one originating from the same wikipedia article

another, which is most similar to the correct context

This process is noisy, as sometimes the question might be answerable given a different context,
but on average we hope this won't affect the performance too much.

We apply the same process of dataset creation for both the discriminator, and the Q&A
answering model. We apply the process separately for the training and testing set, to ensure
that the examples from the training set don't feature within the test set.

3.3 Using the fine-tuned models

We will now use the fine-tuned discriminator and the fine-tuned Q&A model. By requesting
logprobs, we can see how certain the discriminator is in a yes vs no answer.

ft_discriminator = "curie:ft-openai-internal-2021-08-23-23-58-57"
ft_qa = "curie:ft-openai-internal-2021-08-23-17-54-10"

We can see that the model can generalize well to different contexts and questions.

"""

prompt = f"{context}\nQuestion: {question}\nAnswer:"
result = openai.chat.completions.create(model=answering_model, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=30, temp
return result['choices'][0]['text']

'What was the first human-made object in space?', ft_qa)

' The first human-made object in space was the Soviet Union satellite Sputnik 1 on 4 October 19

We can see that the model can answer the question, when the context is appropriate.

apply_ft_qa_answer('The first human-made object in space was the Soviet Union satellite Sputnik 1 on
'What is impressive about the Soviet Union?', ft_qa)

' The Soviet Union was the first country to successfully launch a satellite into space'

apply_ft_qa_answer('The first human-made object in space was the Soviet Union satellite Sputnik 1 on
'How many cars were produced in the Soviet Union in 1970?', ft_qa)

' No appropriate context found to answer the question'

We can see that the model knows when to answer the question, and when to say that
insufficient context is present to answer the question.

We can also combine a discriminator and a base model, or a fine-tuned Q&A model.
Discriminator can essentially serve as a decision whether the question can be answered given
the context or not.

def answer_question_conditionally(answering_model, discriminator_model, context, question, discrimina


logprobs = apply_ft_discriminator(context, question, discriminator_model)
yes_logprob = logprobs[' yes'] if ' yes' in logprobs else -100
no_logprob = logprobs[' no'] if ' no' in logprobs else -100
if yes_logprob + discriminator_logprob_yes_modifier < no_logprob:
return " No appropriate context found to answer the question based on the discriminator."
return apply_ft_qa_answer(context, question, answering_model)
answer_question_conditionally(ft_qa, ft_discriminator,
"Crowdless games are a rare although not unheard-of occurrence in spo
When they do occur, it is usually the result of events beyond the co
of the teams or fans, such as weather-related concerns, public healt
or wider civil disturbances unrelated to the game. For instance, \
the COVID-19 pandemic caused many sports leagues around the world \
to be played behind closed doors.",
"Could weather cause a sport event to have no crowd?")

' Weather could cause a sport event to have no crowd'

The above function illustrates how to potentially combine a discriminator and a fine-tuned Q&A
model. This gives a more fine-grained control over how certain we want the model to be before
it answers the question.

We'll now take a look on how answers endpoint works - combining search to retrieve the
relevant context from a knowledge base, and then using the fine-tuned Q&A model to answer
the question.
3.4 Answering the question based on a knowledge base

Finally we can use a logic similar to the /answers endpoint, where we first search for the
relevant context, and then ask a Q&A model to answer the question given that context. If you'd
like to see the implementation details, check out the answers_with_ft.py file.

Using Chroma for Embeddings Search


Colin Jarvis, Anton Troynikov
Open in Github
Jun 27, 2023

This notebook takes you through a simple flow to download some data, embed it, and then
index and search it using a selection of vector databases. This is a common requirement for
customers who want to store and search our embeddings with their own data in a secure
environment to support production use cases such as chatbots, topic modelling and more.

What is a Vector Database


A vector database is a database made to store, manage and search embedding vectors. The use
of embeddings to encode unstructured data (text, audio, video and more) as vectors for
consumption by machine-learning models has exploded in recent years, due to the increasing
effectiveness of AI in solving use cases involving natural language, image recognition and other
unstructured forms of data. Vector databases have emerged as an effective solution for
enterprises to deliver and scale these use cases.

Why use a Vector Database

Vector databases enable enterprises to take many of the embeddings use cases we've shared in
this repo (question and answering, chatbot and recommendation services, for example), and
make use of them in a secure, scalable environment. Many of our customers make embeddings
solve their problems at small scale but performance and security hold them back from going
into production - we see vector databases as a key component in solving that, and in this guide
we'll walk through the basics of embedding text data, storing it in a vector database and using it
for semantic search.

Demo Flow
The demo flow is:
Setup: Import packages and set any required variables

Load data: Load a dataset and embed it using OpenAI embeddings

Chroma:

Setup: Here we'll set up the Python client for Chroma. For more details go here

Index Data: We'll create collections with vectors for titles and content

Search Data: We'll run a few searches to confirm it works

Once you've run through this notebook you should have a basic understanding of how to setup
and use vector databases, and can move on to more complex use cases making use of our
embeddings.

Setup

Import the required libraries and set the embedding model that we'd like to use.

# Make sure the OpenAI library is installed


%pip install openai

# We'll need to install the Chroma client


%pip install chromadb

# Install wget to pull zip file


%pip install wget

# Install numpy for data manipulation


%pip install numpy

Chroma
We'll index these embedded documents in a vector database and search them. The first option
we'll look at is Chroma, an easy to use open-source self-hosted in-memory vector database,
designed for working with embeddings together with LLMs.

In this section, we will:

Instantiate the Chroma client

Create collections for each class of embedding

Query each collection

Instantiate the Chroma client

Create the Chroma client. By default, Chroma is ephemeral and runs in memory. However, you
can easily set up a persistent configuration which writes to disk.

chroma_client = chromadb.EphemeralClient() # Equivalent to chromadb.Client(), ephemeral.


# Uncomment for persistent client
# chroma_client = chromadb.PersistentClient()

Create collections

Chroma collections allow you to store and filter with arbitrary metadata, making it easy to query
subsets of the embedded data.

Chroma is already integrated with OpenAI's embedding functions. The best way to use them is
on construction of a collection, as follows. Alternatively, you can 'bring your own embeddings'.
More information can be found here
from chromadb.utils.embedding_functions import OpenAIEmbeddingFunction

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = 'sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


openai.api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
print ("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print ("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

embedding_function = OpenAIEmbeddingFunction(api_key=os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'), model_name=EMB

wikipedia_content_collection = chroma_client.create_collection(name='wikipedia_content', embedding_fu


wikipedia_title_collection = chroma_client.create_collection(name='wikipedia_titles', embedding_funct

OPENAI_API_KEY is ready

Populate the collections


Chroma collections allow you to populate, and filter on, whatever metadata you like. Chroma
can also store the text alongside the vectors, and return everything in a single query call, when
this is more convenient.

For this use-case, we'll just store the embeddings and IDs, and use these to index the original
dataframe.

# Add the content vectors


wikipedia_content_collection.add(
ids=article_df.vector_id.tolist(),
embeddings=article_df.content_vector.tolist(),
)

# Add the title vectors


wikipedia_title_collection.add(
ids=article_df.vector_id.tolist(),
embeddings=article_df.title_vector.tolist(),
)

Search the collections


Chroma handles embedding queries for you if an embedding function is set, like in this
example.

def query_collection(collection, query, max_results, dataframe):


results = collection.query(query_texts=query, n_results=max_results, include=['distances'])
df = pd.DataFrame({
'id':results['ids'][0],
'score':results['distances'][0],
'title': dataframe[dataframe.vector_id.isin(results['ids'][0])]['title'],
'content': dataframe[dataframe.vector_id.isin(results['ids'][0])]['text'],
})

return df

title_query_result = query_collection(
collection=wikipedia_title_collection,
query="modern art in Europe",
max_results=10,
dataframe=article_df
)
title_query_result.head()

Visualizing embeddings in Weights and Biases


Scott Condron
Open in Github
Jan 31, 2023

We will upload the data to Weights & Biases and use an Embedding Projector to visualize the
embeddings using common dimension reduction algorithms like PCA, UMAP, and t-SNE. The
dataset is created in the Get_embeddings_from_dataset Notebook.

What is Weights & Biases?

Weights & Biases is a machine learning platform used by OpenAI and other ML teams to build
better models faster. They use it to quickly track experiments, evaluate model performance,
reproduce models, visualize results, and share findings with colleagues.

1. Log the data to W&B

We create a W&B Table with the original data and the embeddings. Each review is a new row
and the 1536 embedding floats are given their own column named emb_{i} .

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.manifold import TSNE
import numpy as np
from ast import literal_eval

# Load the embeddings


datafile_path = "data/fine_food_reviews_with_embeddings_1k.csv"
df = pd.read_csv(datafile_path)

# Convert to a list of lists of floats


matrix = np.array(df.embedding.apply(literal_eval).to_list())

import wandb

original_cols = df.columns[1:-1].tolist()
embedding_cols = ['emb_'+str(idx) for idx in range(len(matrix[0]))]
table_cols = original_cols + embedding_cols
with wandb.init(project='openai_embeddings'):
table = wandb.Table(columns=table_cols)
for i, row in enumerate(df.to_dict(orient="records")):
original_data = [row[col_name] for col_name in original_cols]
embedding_data = matrix[i].tolist()
table.add_data(*(original_data + embedding_data))
wandb.log({'openai_embedding_table': table})

2. Render as 2D Projection

After navigating to the W&B run link, we click the ⚙️ icon in the top right of the Table and
change "Render As:" to "Combined 2D Projection".

Question Answering with Langchain,


AnalyticDB and OpenAI
Richy Wang
Open in Github
May 4, 2023

This notebook presents how to implement a Question Answering system with Langchain,
AnalyticDB as a knowledge based and OpenAI embeddings. If you are not familiar with
AnalyticDB, it’s better to check out the Getting_started_with_AnalyticDB_and_OpenAI.ipynb
notebook.

This notebook presents an end-to-end process of:

Calculating the embeddings with OpenAI API.

Storing the embeddings in an AnalyticDB instance to build a knowledge base.

Converting raw text query to an embedding with OpenAI API.

Using AnalyticDB to perform the nearest neighbour search in the created collection to find
some context.

Asking LLM to find the answer in a given context.

All the steps will be simplified to calling some corresponding Langchain methods.

Prerequisites

For the purposes of this exercise we need to prepare a couple of things: AnalyticDB cloud
instance. Langchain as a framework. An OpenAI API key.

Install requirements

This notebook requires the following Python packages: openai , tiktoken , langchain and
psycopg2cffi .
openai provides convenient access to the OpenAI API.

tiktoken is a fast BPE tokeniser for use with OpenAI's models.

langchain helps us to build applications with LLM more easily.

psycopg2cffi library is used to interact with the vector database, but any other
PostgreSQL client library is also acceptable.

! pip install openai tiktoken langchain psycopg2cffi

! export OPENAI_API_KEY="your API key"

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for
import os

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


print("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

OPENAI_API_KEY is ready

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of the documents and queries.

If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
[https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys ).

Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY by
running following command:

Prepare your AnalyticDB connection string


To build the AnalyticDB connection string, you need to have the following parameters: PG_HOST ,
PG_PORT , PG_DATABASE , PG_USER , and PG_PASSWORD . You need to export them first to set
correct connect string. Then build the connection string.

! export PG_HOST="your AnalyticDB host url"


! export PG_PORT=5432 # Optional, default value is 5432
! export PG_DATABASE=postgres # Optional, default value is postgres
! export PG_USER="your username"
! export PG_PASSWORD="your password"

import os
from langchain.vectorstores.analyticdb import AnalyticDB

CONNECTION_STRING = AnalyticDB.connection_string_from_db_params(
driver=os.environ.get("PG_DRIVER", "psycopg2cffi"),
host=os.environ.get("PG_HOST", "localhost"),
port=int(os.environ.get("PG_PORT", "5432")),
database=os.environ.get("PG_DATABASE", "postgres"),
user=os.environ.get("PG_USER", "postgres"),
password=os.environ.get("PG_PASSWORD", "postgres"),
)

import json

with open("questions.json", "r") as fp:


questions = json.load(fp)

with open("answers.json", "r") as fp:


answers = json.load(fp)

Load data

In this section we are going to load the data containing some natural questions and answers to
them. All the data will be used to create a Langchain application with AnalyticDB being the
knowledge base.

print(questions[0])

when is the last episode of season 8 of the walking dead


import wget

# All the examples come from https://ai.google.com/research/NaturalQuestions


# This is a sample of the training set that we download and extract for some
# further processing.

Chain definition

Langchain is already integrated with AnalyticDB and performs all the indexing for given list of
documents. In our case we are going to store the set of answers we have.

from langchain.vectorstores import AnalyticDB


from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain import VectorDBQA, OpenAI

embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
doc_store = AnalyticDB.from_texts(
texts=answers, embedding=embeddings, connection_string=CONNECTION_STRING,
pre_delete_collection=True,
)

At this stage all the possible answers are already stored in AnalyticDB, so we can define the
whole QA chain.

from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA

llm = OpenAI()
qa = VectorDBQA.from_chain_type(
llm=llm,
chain_type="stuff",
vectorstore=doc_store,
return_source_documents=False,
)

Search data
Once the data is put into AnalyticDB we can start asking some questions. A question will be
automatically vectorized by OpenAI model, and the created vector will be used to find some
possibly matching answers in AnalyticDB. Once retrieved, the most similar answers will be
incorporated into the prompt sent to OpenAI Large Language Model.

import random

random.seed(52)
selected_questions = random.choices(questions, k=5)

for question in selected_questions:


print(">", question)
print(qa.run(question), end="\n\n")

> where do frankenstein and the monster first meet


Victor retreats into the mountains, and that is where the Creature finds him and pleads for Vi

> who designed the national coat of arms of south africa


Iaan Bekker

> caravaggio's death of the virgin pamela askew


I don't know.

Custom prompt templates


The stuff chain type in Langchain uses a specific prompt with question and context
documents incorporated. This is what the default prompt looks like:

Use the following pieces of context to answer the question at the end. If you don't know the answer
{context}
Question: {question}
Helpful Answer:
We can, however, provide our prompt template and change the behaviour of the OpenAI LLM,
while still using the stuff chain type. It is important to keep {context} and {question} as
placeholders.

Experimenting with custom prompts

We can try using a different prompt template, so the model:

1. Responds with a single-sentence answer if it knows it.

2. Suggests a random song title if it doesn't know the answer to our question.

from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate


custom_prompt = """
Use the following pieces of context to answer the question at the end. Please provide
a short single-sentence summary answer only. If you don't know the answer or if it's
not present in given context, don't try to make up an answer, but suggest me a random
unrelated song title I could listen to.
Context: {context}
Question: {question}
Helpful Answer:
"""

custom_prompt_template = PromptTemplate(
template=custom_prompt, input_variables=["context", "question"]
)

custom_qa = VectorDBQA.from_chain_type(
llm=llm,
chain_type="stuff",
vectorstore=doc_store,
return_source_documents=False,
chain_type_kwargs={"prompt": custom_prompt_template},

Get embeddings from dataset


Boris Power, Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

This notebook gives an example on how to get embeddings from a large dataset.

1. Load the dataset

The dataset used in this example is fine-food reviews from Amazon. The dataset contains a
total of 568,454 food reviews Amazon users left up to October 2012. We will use a subset of this
dataset, consisting of 1,000 most recent reviews for illustration purposes. The reviews are in
English and tend to be positive or negative. Each review has a ProductId, UserId, Score, review
title (Summary) and review body (Text).

We will combine the review summary and review text into a single combined text. The model
will encode this combined text and it will output a single vector embedding.

To run this notebook, you will need to install: pandas, openai, transformers, plotly, matplotlib,
scikit-learn, torch (transformer dep), torchvision, and scipy.

import pandas as pd
import tiktoken

from utils.embeddings_utils import get_embedding

embedding_model = "text-embedding-3-small"
embedding_encoding = "cl100k_base"
max_tokens = 8000 # the maximum for text-embedding-3-small is 8191

# load & inspect dataset


input_datapath = "data/fine_food_reviews_1k.csv" # to save space, we provide a pre-filtered dataset
df = pd.read_csv(input_datapath, index_col=0)
df = df[["Time", "ProductId", "UserId", "Score", "Summary", "Text"]]
df = df.dropna()
df["combined"] = (
"Title: " + df.Summary.str.strip() + "; Content: " + df.Text.str.strip()
)
df.head(2)

df.drop("Time", axis=1, inplace=True)

encoding = tiktoken.get_encoding(embedding_encoding)

# omit reviews that are too long to embed


df["n_tokens"] = df.combined.apply(lambda x: len(encoding.encode(x)))
df = df[df.n_tokens <= max_tokens].tail(top_n)

Using MyScale as a vector database for OpenAI


embeddings
qingdi
Open in Github
Apr 30, 2023

This notebook provides a step-by-step guide on using MyScale as a vector database for OpenAI
embeddings. The process includes:

1. Utilizing precomputed embeddings generated by OpenAI API.

2. Storing these embeddings in a cloud instance of MyScale.

3. Converting raw text query to an embedding using OpenAI API.

4. Leveraging MyScale to perform nearest neighbor search within the created collection.

What is MyScale
MyScale is a database built on Clickhouse that combines vector search and SQL analytics to
offer a high-performance, streamlined, and fully managed experience. It's designed to facilitate
joint queries and analyses on both structured and vector data, with comprehensive SQL support
for all data processing.

Deployment options

Deploy and execute vector search with SQL on your cluster within two minutes by using
MyScale Console.

Prerequisites

To follow this guide, you will need to have the following:

1. A MyScale cluster deployed by following the quickstart guide.


2. The 'clickhouse-connect' library to interact with MyScale.

3. An OpenAI API key for vectorization of queries.

Install requirements

This notebook requires the openai , clickhouse-connect , as well as some other dependencies.
Use the following command to install them:

! pip install openai clickhouse-connect wget pandas

Prepare your OpenAI API key


To use the OpenAI API, you'll need to set up an API key. If you don't have one already, you can
obtain it from OpenAI.

import openai

# get API key from on OpenAI website


openai.api_key = "OPENAI_API_KEY"

# check we have authenticated


openai.Engine.list()

Connect to MyScale

Follow the connections details section to retrieve the cluster host, username, and password
information from the MyScale console, and use it to create a connection to your cluster as
shown below:

import clickhouse_connect

# initialize client
client = clickhouse_connect.get_client(host='YOUR_CLUSTER_HOST', port=8443, username='YOUR_USERNAME',

Load data
We need to load the dataset of precomputed vector embeddings for Wikipedia articles
provided by OpenAI. Use the wget package to download the dataset.

import wget

embeddings_url = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde

# The file is ~700 MB so this will take some time


wget.download(embeddings_url)

After the download is complete, extract the file using the zipfile package:

import zipfile

with zipfile.ZipFile("vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.zip", "r") as zip_ref:


zip_ref.extractall("../data")

Now, we can load the data from vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv into a


Pandas DataFrame:

import pandas as pd

from ast import literal_eval

# read data from csv


article_df = pd.read_csv('../data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv')
article_df = article_df[['id', 'url', 'title', 'text', 'content_vector']]

# read vectors from strings back into a list


article_df["content_vector"] = article_df.content_vector.apply(literal_eval)
article_df.head()

Index data

We will create an SQL table called articles in MyScale to store the embeddings data. The
table will include a vector index with a cosine distance metric and a constraint for the length of
the embeddings. Use the following code to create and insert data into the articles table:

# create articles table with vector index


embedding_len=len(article_df['content_vector'][0]) # 1536

client.command(f"""
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS default.articles
(
id UInt64,
url String,
title String,
text String,
content_vector Array(Float32),
CONSTRAINT cons_vector_len CHECK length(content_vector) = {embedding_len},
VECTOR INDEX article_content_index content_vector TYPE HNSWFLAT('metric_type=Cosine')
)
ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY id
""")

# insert data into the table in batches


from tqdm.auto import tqdm

batch_size = 100
total_records = len(article_df)

# upload data in batches


data = article_df.to_records(index=False).tolist()
column_names = article_df.columns.tolist()

for i in tqdm(range(0, total_records, batch_size)):


i_end = min(i + batch_size, total_records)
client.insert("default.articles", data[i:i_end], column_names=column_names)

We need to check the build status of the vector index before proceeding with the search, as it is
automatically built in the background.

# check count of inserted data


print(f"articles count: {client.command('SELECT count(*) FROM default.articles')}")

# check the status of the vector index, make sure vector index is ready with 'Built' status
get_index_status="SELECT status FROM system.vector_indices WHERE name='article_content_index'"
print(f"index build status: {client.command(get_index_status)}")

articles count: 25000


index build status: Built

Search data

Once indexed in MyScale, we can perform vector search to find similar content. First, we will use
the OpenAI API to generate embeddings for our query. Then, we will perform the vector search
using MyScale.
import openai

query = "Famous battles in Scottish history"

# creates embedding vector from user query


embed = openai.Embedding.create(
input=query,
model="text-embedding-3-small",
)["data"][0]["embedding"]

# query the database to find the top K similar content to the given query
top_k = 10
results = client.query(f"""
SELECT id, url, title, distance(content_vector, {embed}) as dist
FROM default.articles
ORDER BY dist
LIMIT {top_k}
""")

# display results
for i, r in enumerate(results.named_results()):
print(i+1, r['title'])

Uploading Data to Azure AI Search Index

The following code snippet outlines the process of uploading a batch of documents—
specifically, Wikipedia articles with pre-computed embeddings—from a pandas DataFrame to
an Azure AI Search index. For a detailed guide on data import strategies and best practices,
refer to Data Import in Azure AI Search.

from azure.core.exceptions import HttpResponseError

# Convert the 'id' and 'vector_id' columns to string so one of them can serve as our key field
article_df["id"] = article_df["id"].astype(str)
article_df["vector_id"] = article_df["vector_id"].astype(str)
# Convert the DataFrame to a list of dictionaries
documents = article_df.to_dict(orient="records")

# Create a SearchIndexingBufferedSender
batch_client = SearchIndexingBufferedSender(
search_service_endpoint, index_name, credential
)

try:
# Add upload actions for all documents in a single call
batch_client.upload_documents(documents=documents)

# Manually flush to send any remaining documents in the buffer


batch_client.flush()
except HttpResponseError as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
finally:
# Clean up resources
batch_client.close()

print(f"Uploaded {len(documents)} documents in total")


Uploaded 25000 documents in total

If your dataset didn't already contain pre-computed embeddings, you can create embeddings
by using the below function using the openai python library. You'll also notice the same
function and model are being used to generate query embeddings for performing vector
searches.

# Example function to generate document embedding


def generate_embeddings(text, model):
# Generate embeddings for the provided text using the specified model
embeddings_response = client.embeddings.create(model=model, input=text)
# Extract the embedding data from the response
embedding = embeddings_response.data[0].embedding
return embedding

first_document_content = documents[0]["text"]
print(f"Content: {first_document_content[:100]}")

content_vector = generate_embeddings(first_document_content, deployment)


print("Content vector generated")

Perform a Hybrid Search

Hybrid search combines the capabilities of traditional keyword-based search with vector-based
similarity search to provide more relevant and contextual results. This approach is particularly
useful when dealing with complex queries that benefit from understanding the semantic
meaning behind the text.

The provided code snippet demonstrates how to execute a hybrid search query:

# Hybrid Search
query = "Famous battles in Scottish history"

search_client = SearchClient(search_service_endpoint, index_name, credential)


vector_query = VectorizedQuery(vector=generate_embeddings(query, deployment), k_nearest_neighbors=3,

results = search_client.search(
search_text=query,

Long Document Content Extraction


Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Feb 19, 2023

GPT-3 can help us extract key figures, dates or other bits of important content from documents
that are too big to fit into the context window. One approach for solving this is to chunk the
document up and process each chunk separately, before combining into one list of answers.

In this notebook we'll run through this approach:

Load in a long PDF and pull the text out

Create a prompt to be used to extract key bits of information

Chunk up our document and process each chunk to pull any answers out

Combine them at the end

This simple approach will then be extended to three more difficult questions

Approach

Setup: Take a PDF, a Formula 1 Financial Regulation document on Power Units, and extract
the text from it for entity extraction. We'll use this to try to extract answers that are buried
in the content.

Simple Entity Extraction: Extract key bits of information from chunks of a document by:

Creating a template prompt with our questions and an example of the format it
expects

Create a function to take a chunk of text as input, combine with the prompt and get a
response

Run a script to chunk the text, extract answers and output them for parsing
Complex Entity Extraction: Ask some more difficult questions which require tougher
reasoning to work out

Consolidation

We've been able to extract the first two answers safely, while the third was confounded by the
date that appeared on every page, though the correct answer is in there as well.

To tune this further you can consider experimenting with:

A more descriptive or specific prompt

If you have sufficient training data, fine-tuning a model to find a set of outputs very well

The way you chunk your data - we have gone for 1000 tokens with no overlap, but more
intelligent chunking that breaks info into sections, cuts by tokens or similar may get better
results

However, with minimal tuning we have now answered 6 questions of varying difficulty using the
contents of a long document, and have a reusable approach that we can apply to any long
document requiring entity extraction. Look forward to seeing what you can do with this!

Weaviate <> OpenAI


Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Feb 12, 2023

​Weaviate is an open-source vector search engine (docs - Github) that can store and search
through OpenAI embeddings and data objects. The database allows you to do similarity search,
hybrid search (the combining of multiple search techniques, such as keyword-based and vector
search), and generative search (like Q&A). Weaviate also supports a wide variety of OpenAI-
based modules (e.g., text2vec-openai , qna-openai ), allowing you to vectorize and query data
fast and efficiently.

You can run Weaviate (including the OpenAI modules if desired) in three ways:

1. Open source inside a Docker-container (example)

2. Using the Weaviate Cloud Service (get started)

3. In a Kubernetes cluster (learn more)

Using embeddings
Boris Power, Ted Sanders, Logan Kilpatrick
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

This notebook contains some helpful snippets you can use to embed text with the text-
embedding-3-small model via the OpenAI API.

import openai

embedding = openai.Embedding.create(
input="Your text goes here", model="text-embedding-3-small"
)["data"][0]["embedding"]
len(embedding)

1536

It's recommended to use the 'tenacity' package or another exponential backoff implementation
to better manage API rate limits, as hitting the API too much too fast can trigger rate limits.
Using the following function ensures you get your embeddings as fast as possible.

# Negative example (slow and rate-limited)


import openai

num_embeddings = 10000 # Some large number


for i in range(num_embeddings):
embedding = openai.Embedding.create(
input="Your text goes here", model="text-embedding-3-small"
)["data"][0]["embedding"]
print(len(embedding))

# Best practice
import openai
from tenacity import retry, wait_random_exponential, stop_after_attempt

# Retry up to 6 times with exponential backoff, starting at 1 second and maxing out at 20 seconds del
@retry(wait=wait_random_exponential(min=1, max=20), stop=stop_after_attempt(6))
def get_embedding(text: str, model="text-embedding-3-small") -> list[float]:

Typesense
Jason Bosco
Open in Github
Apr 12, 2023

Typesense is an open source, in-memory search engine, that you can either self-host or run on
Typesense Cloud.

Why Typesense?

Typesense focuses on performance by storing the entire index in RAM (with a backup on disk)
and also focuses on providing an out-of-the-box developer experience by simplifying available
options and setting good defaults.

It also lets you combine attribute-based filtering together with vector queries, to fetch the most
relevant documents.

Other features

Besides vector storage and search, Typesense also offers the following features:

Typo Tolerance: Handles typographical errors elegantly, out-of-the-box.

Tunable Ranking: Easy to tailor your search results to perfection.

Sorting: Dynamically sort results based on a particular field at query time (helpful for
features like "Sort by Price (asc)").

Faceting & Filtering: Drill down and refine results.

Grouping & Distinct: Group similar results together to show more variety.

Federated Search: Search across multiple collections (indices) in a single HTTP request.
Scoped API Keys: Generate API keys that only allow access to certain records, for multi-
tenant applications.

Synonyms: Define words as equivalents of each other, so searching for a word will also
return results for the synonyms defined.

Curation & Merchandizing: Boost particular records to a fixed position in the search results,
to feature them.

Raft-based Clustering: Set up a distributed cluster that is highly available.

Seamless Version Upgrades: As new versions of Typesense come out, upgrading is as


simple as swapping out the binary and restarting Typesense.

No Runtime Dependencies: Typesense is a single binary that you can run locally or in
production with a single command.

How To

To learn more about how to use Typesense with OpenAI embeddings, see the notebook
here for an example:
examples/vector_databases/Using_vector_databases_for_embeddings_search.ipynb

To learn more about Typesense's vector search feature, read the docs here:

Azure chat completions example (preview)


Christian Mürtz, Gerardo Lecaros, Krista Pratico
Open in Github
Mar 27, 2023

This example will cover chat completions using the Azure OpenAI service. It also includes
information on content filtering.

Setup

First, we install the necessary dependencies and import the libraries we will be using.

! pip install "openai>=1.0.0,<2.0.0"


! pip install python-dotenv

import os
import openai
import dotenv

dotenv.load_dotenv()

Authentication

The Azure OpenAI service supports multiple authentication mechanisms that include API keys
and Azure Active Directory token credentials.

use_azure_active_directory = False # Set this flag to True if you are using Azure Active Directory

Authentication using API key

To set up the OpenAI SDK to use an Azure API Key, we need to set api_key to a key associated
with your endpoint (you can find this key in "Keys and Endpoints" under "Resource Management"
in the Azure Portal). You'll also find the endpoint for your resource here.

if not use_azure_active_directory:
endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"]
api_key = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"]

client = openai.AzureOpenAI(
azure_endpoint=endpoint,
api_key=api_key,
api_version="2023-09-01-preview"
)

Authentication using Azure Active Directory

Let's now see how we can autheticate via Azure Active Directory. We'll start by installing the
azure-identity library. This library will provide the token credentials we need to authenticate

and help us build a token credential provider through the get_bearer_token_provider helper
function. It's recommended to use get_bearer_token_provider over providing a static token to
AzureOpenAI because this API will automatically cache and refresh tokens for you.

For more information on how to set up Azure Active Directory authentication with Azure
OpenAI, see the documentation.

! pip install "azure-identity>=1.15.0"

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, get_bearer_token_provider

if use_azure_active_directory:
endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"]

client = openai.AzureOpenAI(
azure_endpoint=endpoint,
azure_ad_token_provider=get_bearer_token_provider(DefaultAzureCredential(), "https://cognitiv
api_version="2023-09-01-preview"
)

“Note: the AzureOpenAI infers the following arguments from their corresponding
environment variables if they are not provided:”

api_key from AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY


azure_ad_token from AZURE_OPENAI_AD_TOKEN

api_version from OPENAI_API_VERSION

azure_endpoint from AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT

Deployments

In this section we are going to create a deployment of a GPT model that we can use to create
chat completions.

Deployments: Create in the Azure OpenAI Studio

Let's deploy a model to use with chat completions. Go to https://portal.azure.com, find your
Azure OpenAI resource, and then navigate to the Azure OpenAI Studio. Click on the
"Deployments" tab and then create a deployment for the model you want to use for chat
completions. The deployment name that you give the model will be used in the code below.

deployment = "" # Fill in the deployment name from the portal here

Create chat completions

Now let's create a chat completion using the client we built.

# For all possible arguments see https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat-completions/crea


response = client.chat.completions.create(
model=deployment,
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Knock knock."},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Who's there?"},
{"role": "user", "content": "Orange."},
],
temperature=0,
)

print(f"{response.choices[0].message.role}: {response.choices[0].message.content}")

Create a streaming chat completion

We can also stream the response.


response = client.chat.completions.create(
model=deployment,
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Knock knock."},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Who's there?"},
{"role": "user", "content": "Orange."},
],
temperature=0,
stream=True
)

for chunk in response:


if len(chunk.choices) > 0:
delta = chunk.choices[0].delta

if delta.role:
print(delta.role + ": ", end="", flush=True)
if delta.content:
print(delta.content, end="", flush=True)

Content filtering

Azure OpenAI service includes content filtering of prompts and completion responses. You can
learn more about content filtering and how to configure it here.

If the prompt is flagged by the content filter, the library will raise a BadRequestError exception
with a content_filter error code. Otherwise, you can access the prompt_filter_results and
content_filter_results on the response to see the results of the content filtering and what

categories were flagged.

Prompt flagged by content filter

import json

messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "<text violating the content policy>"}
]

try:
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
messages=messages,
model=deployment,
)
except openai.BadRequestError as e:
err = json.loads(e.response.text)
if err["error"]["code"] == "content_filter":
print("Content filter triggered!")
content_filter_result = err["error"]["innererror"]["content_filter_result"]
for category, details in content_filter_result.items():
print(f"{category}:\n filtered={details['filtered']}\n severity={details['severity']}")

Checking the result of the content filter

messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "What's the biggest city in Washington?"}
]

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
messages=messages,
model=deployment,
)
print(f"Answer: {completion.choices[0].message.content}")

# prompt content filter result in "model_extra" for azure


prompt_filter_result = completion.model_extra["prompt_filter_results"][0]["content_filter_results"]
print("\nPrompt content filter results:")
for category, details in prompt_filter_result.items():
print(f"{category}:\n filtered={details['filtered']}\n severity={details['severity']}")

# completion content filter result


print("\nCompletion content filter results:")
completion_filter_result = completion.choices[0].model_extra["content_filter_results"]
for category, details in completion_filter_result.items():

provided text. Base GPT-3 models do a good job at answering questions when the answer is
contained within the paragraph, however if the answer isn't contained, the base models tend to
try their best to answer anyway, often leading to confabulated answers.

To create a model which answers questions only if there is sufficient context for doing so, we
first create a dataset of questions and answers based on paragraphs of text. In order to train the
model to answer only when the answer is present, we also add adversarial examples, where the
question doesn't match the context. In those cases, we ask the model to output "No sufficient
context for answering the question".

We will perform this task in three notebooks:

1. The first (this) notebook focuses on collecting recent data, which GPT-3 didn't see during
it's pre-training. We picked the topic of Olympic Games 2020 (which actually took place in
the summer of 2021), and downloaded 713 unique pages. We organized the dataset by
individual sections, which will serve as context for asking and answering the questions.

2. The second notebook will utilize Davinci-instruct to ask a few questions based on a
Wikipedia section, as well as answer those questions, based on that section.
3. The third notebook will utilize the dataset of context, question and answer pairs to
additionally create adversarial questions and context pairs, where the question was not
generated on that context. In those cases the model will be prompted to answer "No
sufficient context for answering the question". We will also train a discriminator model,
which predicts whether the question can be answered based on the context or not.

1.1 Data extraction using the wikipedia API

Extracting the data will take about half an hour, and processing will likely take about as much.

How to fine-tune chat models


Simón Fishman
Open in Github
Aug 21, 2023

This notebook provides a step-by-step guide for our new gpt-3.5-turbo fine-tuning. We'll
perform entity extraction using the RecipeNLG dataset, which provides various recipes and a list
of extracted generic ingredients for each. This is a common dataset for named entity
recognition (NER) tasks.

We will go through the following steps:

1. Setup: Loading our dataset and filtering down to one domain to fine-tune on.

2. Data preparation: Preparing your data for fine-tuning by creating training and validation
examples, and uploading them to the Files endpoint.

3. Fine-tuning: Creating your fine-tuned model.

4. Inference: Using your fine-tuned model for inference on new inputs.

By the end of this you should be able to train, evaluate and deploy a fine-tuned gpt-3.5-turbo
model.

For more information on fine-tuning, you can refer to our documentation guide, API reference
or blog post

Setup

# make sure to use the latest version of the openai python package
!pip install --upgrade openai

import json
import openai
import os
import pandas as pd
from pprint import pprint

client = openai.OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as e

Fine-tuning works best when focused on a particular domain. It's important to make sure your
dataset is both focused enough for the model to learn, but general enough that unseen
examples won't be missed. Having this in mind, we have extracted a subset from the
RecipesNLG dataset to only contain documents from www.cookbooks.com.

# Read in the dataset we'll use for this task.


# This will be the RecipesNLG dataset, which we've cleaned to only contain documents from www.cookboo

Data preparation
We'll begin by preparing our data. When fine-tuning with the ChatCompletion format, each
training example is a simple list of messages . For example, an entry could look like:

[{'role': 'system',
'content': 'You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to extract the generic ingredients from e
{'role': 'user',
'content': 'Title: No-Bake Nut Cookies\n\nIngredients: ["1 c. firmly packed brown sugar", "1/2 c
{'role': 'assistant',
'content': '["brown sugar", "milk", "vanilla", "nuts", "butter", "bite size shredded rice biscuit

During the training process this conversation will be split, with the final entry being the
completion that the model will produce, and the remainder of the messages acting as the

prompt. Consider this when building your training examples - if your model will act on multi-
turn conversations, then please provide representative examples so it doesn't perform poorly
when the conversation starts to expand.

Please note that currently there is a 4096 token limit for each training example. Anything longer
than this will be truncated at 4096 tokens.

training_data = []

system_message = "You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to extract the generic ingredients from

def create_user_message(row):
return f"""Title: {row['title']}\n\nIngredients: {row['ingredients']}\n\nGeneric ingredients: """

def prepare_example_conversation(row):
messages = []
messages.append({"role": "system", "content": system_message})

user_message = create_user_message(row)
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": user_message})

messages.append({"role": "assistant", "content": row["NER"]})

return {"messages": messages}

pprint(prepare_example_conversation(recipe_df.iloc[0]))

{'messages': [{'content': 'You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to '
'extract the generic ingredients from each of the '
'recipes provided.',
'role': 'system'},
{'content': 'Title: No-Bake Nut Cookies\n'
'\n'
'Ingredients: ["1 c. firmly packed brown sugar", '
'"1/2 c. evaporated milk", "1/2 tsp. vanilla", "1/2 '
'c. broken nuts (pecans)", "2 Tbsp. butter or '
'margarine", "3 1/2 c. bite size shredded rice '
'biscuits"]\n'
'\n'
'Generic ingredients: ',
'role': 'user'},
{'content': '["brown sugar", "milk", "vanilla", "nuts", '
'"butter", "bite size shredded rice biscuits"]',
'role': 'assistant'}]}

Let's now do this for a subset of the dataset to use as our training data. You can begin with even
30-50 well-pruned examples. You should see performance continue to scale linearly as you
increase the size of the training set, but your jobs will also take longer.

# use the first 100 rows of the dataset for training


training_df = recipe_df.loc[0:100]

# apply the prepare_example_conversation function to each row of the training_df


training_data = training_df.apply(prepare_example_conversation, axis=1).tolist()

for example in training_data[:5]:


print(example)

{'messages': [{'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to ext
{'messages': [{'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to ext
{'messages': [{'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to ext
{'messages': [{'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to ext
{'messages': [{'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to ext

In addition to training data, we can also optionally provide validation data, which will be used
to make sure that the model does not overfit your training set.

validation_df = recipe_df.loc[101:200]
validation_data = validation_df.apply(prepare_example_conversation, axis=1).tolist()

We then need to save our data as .jsonl files, with each line being one training example
conversation.
def write_jsonl(data_list: list, filename: str) -> None:
with open(filename, "w") as out:
for ddict in data_list:
jout = json.dumps(ddict) + "\n"
out.write(jout)

training_file_name = "tmp_recipe_finetune_training.jsonl"
write_jsonl(training_data, training_file_name)

validation_file_name = "tmp_recipe_finetune_validation.jsonl"
write_jsonl(validation_data, validation_file_name)

This is what the first 5 lines of our training .jsonl file look like:

# print the first 5 lines of the training file


!head -n 5 tmp_recipe_finetune_training.jsonl

{"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to ext
{"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to ext
{"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to ext
{"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to ext
{"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful recipe assistant. You are to ext

Upload files

You can now upload the files to our Files endpoint to be used by the fine-tuned model.

with open(training_file_name, "rb") as training_fd:


training_response = client.files.create(
file=training_fd, purpose="fine-tune"
)

training_file_id = training_response.id

with open(validation_file_name, "rb") as validation_fd:


validation_response = client.files.create(
file=validation_fd, purpose="fine-tune"
)
validation_file_id = validation_response.id

print("Training file ID:", training_file_id)


print("Validation file ID:", validation_file_id)

Training file ID: file-PVkEstNM2WWd1OQe3Hp3tC5E


Validation file ID: file-WSdTwLYrKxNhKi1WWGjxXi87

Fine-tuning

Now we can create our fine-tuning job with the generated files and an optional suffix to identify
the model. The response will contain an id which you can use to retrieve updates on the job.

Note: The files have to first be processed by our system, so you might get a File not ready
error. In that case, simply retry a few minutes later.

response = client.fine_tuning.jobs.create(
training_file=training_file_id,
validation_file=validation_file_id,
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
suffix="recipe-ner",
)

job_id = response.id

print("Job ID:", response.id)


print("Status:", response.status)

Job ID: ftjob-bIVrnhnZEEizSP7rqWsRwv2R


Status: validating_files

Check job status

You can make a GET request to the https://api.openai.com/v1/alpha/fine-tunes endpoint to


list your alpha fine-tune jobs. In this instance you'll want to check that the ID you got from the
previous step ends up as status: succeeded .

Once it is completed, you can use the result_files to sample the results from the validation
set (if you uploaded one), and use the ID from the fine_tuned_model parameter to invoke your
trained model.

response = client.fine_tuning.jobs.retrieve(job_id)

print("Job ID:", response.id)


print("Status:", response.status)
print("Trained Tokens:", response.trained_tokens)

Job ID: ftjob-bIVrnhnZEEizSP7rqWsRwv2R


Status: running
Trained Tokens: None

We can track the progress of the fine-tune with the events endpoint. You can rerun the cell
below a few times until the fine-tune is ready.

response = client.fine_tuning.jobs.list_events(job_id)

events = response.data
events.reverse()

for event in events:


print(event.message)

New fine-tuned model created: ft:gpt-3.5-turbo-0613:personal:recipe-ner:8PjmcwDH
The job has successfully completed

Now that it's done, we can get a fine-tuned model ID from the job:

response = client.fine_tuning.jobs.retrieve(job_id)
fine_tuned_model_id = response.fine_tuned_model

if fine_tuned_model_id is None:
raise RuntimeError("Fine-tuned model ID not found. Your job has likely not been completed yet.")
print("Fine-tuned model ID:", fine_tuned_model_id)

Fine-tuned model ID: ft:gpt-3.5-turbo-0613:personal:recipe-ner:8PjmcwDH

Inference

The last step is to use your fine-tuned model for inference. Similar to the classic FineTuning ,
you simply call ChatCompletions with your new fine-tuned model name filling the model
parameter.

test_df = recipe_df.loc[201:300]
test_row = test_df.iloc[0]
test_messages = []
test_messages.append({"role": "system", "content": system_message})
user_message = create_user_message(test_row)
test_messages.append({"role": "user", "content": create_user_message(test_row)})

pprint(test_messages)

response = client.chat.completions.create(

User and product embeddings


Boris Power
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

We calculate user and product embeddings based on the training set, and evaluate the results
on the unseen test set. We will evaluate the results by plotting the user and product similarity
versus the review score. The dataset is created in the Get_embeddings_from_dataset
Notebook.

1. Calculate user and product embeddings


We calculate these embeddings simply by averaging all the reviews about the same product or
written by the same user within the training set.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from ast import literal_eval

df = pd.read_csv('data/fine_food_reviews_with_embeddings_1k.csv', index_col=0) # note that you will

df['babbage_similarity'] = df["embedding"].apply(literal_eval).apply(np.array)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(df, df.Score, test_size = 0.2, random_state=42)

user_embeddings = X_train.groupby('UserId').babbage_similarity.apply(np.mean)
prod_embeddings = X_train.groupby('ProductId').babbage_similarity.apply(np.mean)
len(user_embeddings), len(prod_embeddings)

(577, 706)

We can see that most of the users and products appear within the 50k examples only once.

2. Evaluate the embeddings

To evaluate the recommendations, we look at the similarity of the user and product embeddings
amongst the reviews in the unseen test set. We calculate the cosine distance between the user
and product embeddings, which gives us a similarity score between 0 and 1. We then normalize
the scores to be evenly split between 0 and 1, by calculating the percentile of the similarity
score amongst all predicted scores.

from utils.embeddings_utils import cosine_similarity

# evaluate embeddings as recommendations on X_test


def evaluate_single_match(row):
user_id = row.UserId
product_id = row.ProductId
try:
user_embedding = user_embeddings[user_id]
product_embedding = prod_embeddings[product_id]
similarity = cosine_similarity(user_embedding, product_embedding)
return similarity
except Exception as e:
return np.nan

X_test['cosine_similarity'] = X_test.apply(evaluate_single_match, axis=1)


X_test['percentile_cosine_similarity'] = X_test.cosine_similarity.rank(pct=True)

2.1 Visualize cosine similarity by review score

We group the cosine similarity scores by the review score, and plot the distribution of cosine
similarity scores for each review score.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


import statsmodels.api as sm

correlation = X_test[['percentile_cosine_similarity', 'Score']].corr().values[0,1]


print('Correlation between user & vector similarity percentile metric and review number of stars (sco

# boxplot of cosine similarity for each score


X_test.boxplot(column='percentile_cosine_similarity', by='Score')
plt.title('')
plt.show()
plt.close()

Correlation between user & vector similarity percentile metric and review number of stars (scor

We can observe a weak trend, showing that the higher the similarity score between the user and
the product embedding, the higher the review score. Therefore, the user and product
embeddings can weakly predict the review score - even before the user receives the product!

Because this signal works in a different way than the more commonly used collaborative
filtering, it can act as an additional feature to slightly improve the performance on existing
problems.

This section of the OpenAI Cookbook showcases many of the vector databases available to
support your semantic search use cases.

Processing and narrating a video with GPT's


visual capabilities and the TTS API
Kai Chen
Open in Github
Nov 5, 2023

This notebook demonstrates how to use GPT's visual capabilities with a video. GPT-4 doesn't
take videos as input directly, but we can use vision and the new 128K context window to
describe the static frames of a whole video at once. We'll walk through two examples:

1. Using GPT-4 to get a description of a video

2. Generating a voiceover for a video with GPT-4 and the TTS API

from IPython.display import display, Image, Audio

import cv2 # We're using OpenCV to read video, to install !pip install opencv-python
import base64
import time
from openai import OpenAI
import os
import requests

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

1. Using GPT's visual capabilities to get a description of a


video

First, we use OpenCV to extract frames from a nature video containing bisons and wolves:

video = cv2.VideoCapture("data/bison.mp4")

base64Frames = []
while video.isOpened():
success, frame = video.read()
if not success:
break
_, buffer = cv2.imencode(".jpg", frame)
base64Frames.append(base64.b64encode(buffer).decode("utf-8"))

video.release()
print(len(base64Frames), "frames read.")

618 frames read.

Display frames to make sure we've read them in correctly:

display_handle = display(None, display_id=True)


for img in base64Frames:
display_handle.update(Image(data=base64.b64decode(img.encode("utf-8"))))
time.sleep(0.025)

Once we have the video frames, we craft our prompt and send a request to GPT (Note that we
don't need to send every frame for GPT to understand what's going on):

PROMPT_MESSAGES = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
"These are frames from a video that I want to upload. Generate a compelling description t
*map(lambda x: {"image": x, "resize": 768}, base64Frames[0::50]),
],
},
]
params = {
"model": "gpt-4-vision-preview",
"messages": PROMPT_MESSAGES,
"max_tokens": 200,
}

result = client.chat.completions.create(**params)
print(result.choices[0].message.content)

" 🐺 Survival of the Fittest: An Epic Tale in the Snow ❄️ - Witness the intense drama of nature

Remember to respect wildlife and nature. This video may contain scenes that some viewers might

2. Generating a voiceover for a video with GPT-4 and the TTS


API

Let's create a voiceover for this video in the style of David Attenborough. Using the same video
frames we prompt GPT to give us a short script:

PROMPT_MESSAGES = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
"These are frames of a video. Create a short voiceover script in the style of David Atten
*map(lambda x: {"image": x, "resize": 768}, base64Frames[0::60]),
],
},
]
params = {
"model": "gpt-4-vision-preview",
"messages": PROMPT_MESSAGES,
"max_tokens": 500,
}

result = client.chat.completions.create(**params)
print(result.choices[0].message.content)

In the vast, white expanse of the northern wilderness, a drama as old as time unfolds. Here, am

As tension crackles in the frozen air, the wolves close in, their eyes locked on their target.

In an instant, the quiet of the icy landscape is shattered. The bison charges, a desperate bid

It's an epic battle, a testament to the harsh realities of nature. In these moments, there is n
With the setting sun casting long shadows over the snow, the outcome is inevitable. Nature, in

Now we can pass the script to the TTS API where it will generate an mp3 of the voiceover:

response = requests.post(
"https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/speech",
headers={
"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY']}",
},

"model": "tts-1-1106",
"input": result.choices[0].message.content,
"voice": "onyx",
},
)

audio = b""

Robust Question Answering with Chroma and


OpenAI
Anton Troynikov
Open in Github
Apr 5, 2023

This notebook guides you step-by-step through answering questions about a collection of data,
using Chroma, an open-source embeddings database, along with OpenAI's text embeddings
and chat completion API's.

Additionally, this notebook demonstrates some of the tradeoffs in making a question answering
system more robust. As we shall see, simple querying doesn't always create the best results!

Question Answering with LLMs

Large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI's ChatGPT can be used to answer questions about
data that the model may not have been trained on, or have access to. For example;

Personal data like e-mails and notes

Highly specialized data like archival or legal documents

Newly created data like recent news stories

In order to overcome this limitation, we can use a data store which is amenable to querying in
natural language, just like the LLM itself. An embeddings store like Chroma represents
documents as embeddings, alongside the documents themselves.

By embedding a text query, Chroma can find relevant documents, which we can then pass to
the LLM to answer our question. We'll show detailed examples and variants of this approach.

Setup and preliminaries


First we make sure the python dependencies we need are installed.

%pip install -qU openai chromadb pandas

Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

We use OpenAI's API's throughout this notebook. You can get an API key from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys

You can add your API key as an environment variable by executing the command export
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in a terminal. Note that you will

need to reload the notebook if the environment variable wasn't set yet. Alternatively, you can
set it in the notebook, see below.

import os

# Uncomment the following line to set the environment variable in the notebook
# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = 'sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


print("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
import openai
openai.api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
else:
print("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

OPENAI_API_KEY is ready

Dataset
Throughout this notebook, we use the SciFact dataset. This is a curated dataset of expert
annotated scientific claims, with an accompanying text corpus of paper titles and abstracts. Each
claim may be supported, contradicted, or not have enough evidence either way, according to
the documents in the corpus.
Having the corpus available as ground-truth allows us to investigate how well the following
approaches to LLM question answering perform.

# Load the claim dataset


import pandas as pd

data_path = '../../data'

claim_df = pd.read_json(f'{data_path}/scifact_claims.jsonl', lines=True)


claim_df.head()

Just asking the model


GPT-3.5 was trained on a large amount of scientific information. As a baseline, we'd like to
understand what the model already knows without any further context. This will allow us to
calibrate overall performance.

We construct an appropriate prompt, with some example facts, then query the model with each
claim in the dataset. We ask the model to assess a claim as 'True', 'False', or 'NEE' if there is not
enough evidence one way or the other.

def build_prompt(claim):
return [
{"role": "system", "content": "I will ask you to assess a scientific claim. Output only the t
{"role": "user", "content": f"""
Example:

Claim:
0-dimensional biomaterials show inductive properties.

Assessment:
False

Claim:
1/2000 in UK have abnormal PrP positivity.

Assessment:
True

Claim:
Aspirin inhibits the production of PGE2.

Assessment:
False

End of examples. Assess the following claim:

Claim:
{claim}

Assessment:
"""}
]

def assess_claims(claims):
responses = []
# Query the OpenAI API
for claim in claims:
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model='gpt-3.5-turbo',
messages=build_prompt(claim),
max_tokens=3,
)
# Strip any punctuation or whitespace from the response
responses.append(response.choices[0].message.content.strip('., '))

return responses

We sample 100 claims from the dataset

# Let's take a look at 100 claims


samples = claim_df.sample(50)

claims = samples['claim'].tolist()
We evaluate the ground-truth according to the dataset. From the dataset description, each
claim is either supported or contradicted by the evidence, or else there isn't enough evidence
either way.

def get_groundtruth(evidence):
groundtruth = []
for e in evidence:
# Evidence is empty
if len(e) == 0:
groundtruth.append('NEE')
else:
# In this dataset, all evidence for a given claim is consistent, either SUPPORT or CONTRA
if list(e.values())[0][0]['label'] == 'SUPPORT':
groundtruth.append('True')
else:
groundtruth.append('False')
return groundtruth

evidence = samples['evidence'].tolist()
groundtruth = get_groundtruth(evidence)

We also output the confusion matrix, comparing the model's assessments with the ground
truth, in an easy to read table.

def confusion_matrix(inferred, groundtruth):


assert len(inferred) == len(groundtruth)
confusion = {
'True': {'True': 0, 'False': 0, 'NEE': 0},
'False': {'True': 0, 'False': 0, 'NEE': 0},
'NEE': {'True': 0, 'False': 0, 'NEE': 0},
}
for i, g in zip(inferred, groundtruth):
confusion[i][g] += 1

# Pretty print the confusion matrix


print('\tGroundtruth')
print('\tTrue\tFalse\tNEE')
for i in confusion:
print(i, end='\t')
for g in confusion[i]:
print(confusion[i][g], end='\t')
print()

return confusion

We ask the model to directly assess the claims, without additional context.
gpt_inferred = assess_claims(claims)
confusion_matrix(gpt_inferred, groundtruth)

Groundtruth
True False NEE
True 15 5 14
False 0 2 1
NEE 3 3 7

{'True': {'True': 15, 'False': 5, 'NEE': 14},


'False': {'True': 0, 'False': 2, 'NEE': 1},
'NEE': {'True': 3, 'False': 3, 'NEE': 7}}

Results

From these results we see that the LLM is strongly biased to assess claims as true, even when
they are false, and also tends to assess false claims as not having enough evidence. Note that
'not enough evidence' is with respect to the model's assessment of the claim in a vacuum,
without additional context.

Adding context
We now add the additional context available from the corpus of paper titles and abstracts. This
section shows how to load a text corpus into Chroma, using OpenAI text embeddings.

First, we load the text corpus.

# Load the corpus into a dataframe


corpus_df = pd.read_json(f'{data_path}/scifact_corpus.jsonl', lines=True)
corpus_df.head()

Loading the corpus into Chroma

The next step is to load the corpus into Chroma. Given an embedding function, Chroma will
automatically handle embedding each document, and will store it alongside its text and
metadata, making it simple to query.

We instantiate a (ephemeral) Chroma client, and create a collection for the SciFact title and
abstract corpus. Chroma can also be instantiated in a persisted configuration; learn more at the
Chroma docs.

import chromadb
from chromadb.utils.embedding_functions import OpenAIEmbeddingFunction

# We initialize an embedding function, and provide it to the collection.


embedding_function = OpenAIEmbeddingFunction(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))

chroma_client = chromadb.Client() # Ephemeral by default


scifact_corpus_collection = chroma_client.create_collection(name='scifact_corpus', embedding_function

Running Chroma using direct local API.


Using DuckDB in-memory for database. Data will be transient.

Next we load the corpus into Chroma. Because this data loading is memory intensive, we
recommend using a batched loading scheme in batches of 50-1000. For this example it should
take just over one minute for the entire corpus. It's being embedded in the background,
automatically, using the embedding_function we specified earlier.
batch_size = 100

for i in range(0, len(corpus_df), batch_size):


batch_df = corpus_df[i:i+batch_size]
scifact_corpus_collection.add(
ids=batch_df['doc_id'].apply(lambda x: str(x)).tolist(), # Chroma takes string IDs.
documents=(batch_df['title'] + '. ' + batch_df['abstract'].apply(lambda x: ' '.join(x))).to_l
metadatas=[{"structured": structured} for structured in batch_df['structured'].to_list()] # W
)

Retrieving context

Next we retrieve documents from the corpus which may be relevant to each claim in our
sample. We want to provide these as context to the LLM for evaluating the claims. We retrieve
the 3 most relevant documents for each claim, according to the embedding distance.

claim_query_result = scifact_corpus_collection.query(query_texts=claims, include=['documents', 'dista

We create a new prompt, this time taking into account the additional context we retrieve from
the corpus.

def build_prompt_with_context(claim, context):


return [{'role': 'system', 'content': "I will ask you to assess whether a particular scientific c
{'role': 'user', 'content': f""""
The evidence is the following:

{' '.join(context)}

Assess the following claim on the basis of the evidence. Output only the text 'True' if the claim is

Claim:
{claim}

Assessment:
"""}]

def assess_claims_with_context(claims, contexts):


responses = []
# Query the OpenAI API
for claim, context in zip(claims, contexts):
# If no evidence is provided, return NEE
if len(context) == 0:
responses.append('NEE')
continue
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model='gpt-3.5-turbo',
messages=build_prompt_with_context(claim=claim, context=context),
max_tokens=3,
)
# Strip any punctuation or whitespace from the response
responses.append(response.choices[0].message.content.strip('., '))

return responses

Then ask the model to evaluate the claims with the retrieved context.

gpt_with_context_evaluation = assess_claims_with_context(claims, claim_query_result['documents'])


confusion_matrix(gpt_with_context_evaluation, groundtruth)

Groundtruth
True False NEE
True 16 2 8
False 1 6 5
NEE 1 2 9

{'True': {'True': 16, 'False': 2, 'NEE': 8},


'False': {'True': 1, 'False': 6, 'NEE': 5},
'NEE': {'True': 1, 'False': 2, 'NEE': 9}}

Results

We see that the model is a lot less likely to evaluate a False claim as true (2 instances VS 5
previously), but that claims without enough evidence are still often assessed as True or False.

Taking a look at the retrieved documents, we see that they are sometimes not relevant to the
claim - this causes the model to be confused by the extra information, and it may decide that
sufficient evidence is present, even when the information is irrelevant. This happens because we
always ask for the 3 'most' relevant documents, but these might not be relevant at all beyond a
certain point.

Filtering context on relevance

Along with the documents themselves, Chroma returns a distance score. We can try
thresholding on distance, so that fewer irrelevant documents make it into the context we
provide the model.

If, after filtering on the threshold, no context documents remain, we bypass the model and
simply return that there is not enough evidence.

def filter_query_result(query_result, distance_threshold=0.25):


# For each query result, retain only the documents whose distance is below the threshold
for ids, docs, distances in zip(query_result['ids'], query_result['documents'], query_result['dis
for i in range(len(ids)-1, -1, -1):
if distances[i] > distance_threshold:
ids.pop(i)
docs.pop(i)
distances.pop(i)
return query_result

filtered_claim_query_result = filter_query_result(claim_query_result)

Now we assess the claims using this cleaner context.

gpt_with_filtered_context_evaluation = assess_claims_with_context(claims, filtered_claim_query_result


confusion_matrix(gpt_with_filtered_context_evaluation, groundtruth)

Groundtruth
True False NEE
True 10 2 1
False 0 2 1
NEE 8 6 20

{'True': {'True': 10, 'False': 2, 'NEE': 1},


'False': {'True': 0, 'False': 2, 'NEE': 1},
'NEE': {'True': 8, 'False': 6, 'NEE': 20}}

Results

The model now assesses many fewer claims as True or False when there is not enough evidence
present. However, it now biases away from certainty. Most claims are now assessed as having
not enough evidence, because a large fraction of them are filtered out by the distance
threshold. It's possible to tune the distance threshold to find the optimal operating point, but
this can be difficult, and is dataset and embedding model dependent.

Hypothetical Document Embeddings:


Using hallucinations productively
We want to be able to retrieve relevant documents, without retrieving less relevant ones which
might confuse the model. One way to accomplish this is to improve the retrieval query.

Until now, we have queried the dataset using claims which are single sentence statements, while
the corpus contains abstracts describing a scientific paper. Intuitively, while these might be
related, there are significant differences in their structure and meaning. These differences are
encoded by the embedding model, and so influence the distances between the query and the
most relevant results.

We can overcome this by leveraging the power of LLMs to generate relevant text. While the
facts might be hallucinated, the content and structure of the documents the models generate is
more similar to the documents in our corpus, than the queries are. This could lead to better
queries and hence better results.

This approach is called Hypothetical Document Embeddings (HyDE), and has been shown to
be quite good at the retrieval task. It should help us bring more relevant information into the
context, without polluting it.

TL;DR:

you get much better matches when you embed whole abstracts rather than single
sentences

but claims are usually single sentences

So HyDE shows that using GPT3 to expand claims into hallucinated abstracts and then
searching based on those abstracts works (claims -> abstracts -> results) better than
searching directly (claims -> results)
First, we use in-context examples to prompt the model to generate documents similar to what's
in the corpus, for each claim we want to assess.

def build_hallucination_prompt(claim):
return [{'role': 'system', 'content': """I will ask you to write an abstract for a scientific pap

An Example:

Perform the task for the following claim.

def hallucinate_evidence(claims):
# Query the OpenAI API
responses = []
# Query the OpenAI API
for claim in claims:
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model='gpt-3.5-turbo',
messages=build_hallucination_prompt(claim),
)
responses.append(response.choices[0].message.content)
return responses

We hallucinate a document for each claim.

NB: This can take a while, about 30m for 100 claims. You can reduce the number of claims we
want to assess to get results more quickly.

hallucinated_evidence = hallucinate_evidence(claims)
We use the hallucinated documents as queries into the corpus, and filter the results using the
same distance threshold.

hallucinated_query_result = scifact_corpus_collection.query(query_texts=hallucinated_evidence, includ


filtered_hallucinated_query_result = filter_query_result(hallucinated_query_result)

We then ask the model to assess the claims, using the new context.

gpt_with_hallucinated_context_evaluation = assess_claims_with_context(claims, filtered_hallucinated_q


confusion_matrix(gpt_with_hallucinated_context_evaluation, groundtruth)

Groundtruth
True False NEE
True 15 2 5
False 1 5 4
NEE 2 3 13

{'True': {'True': 15, 'False': 2, 'NEE': 5},


'False': {'True': 1, 'False': 5, 'NEE': 4},
'NEE': {'True': 2, 'False': 3, 'NEE': 13}}

Results

Combining HyDE with a simple distance threshold leads to a significant improvement. The
model no longer biases assessing claims as True, nor toward their not being enough evidence. It
also correctly assesses when there isn't enough evidence more often.

Conclusion
Equipping LLMs with a context based on a corpus of documents is a powerful technique for
bringing the general reasoning and natural language interactions of LLMs to your own data.
However, it's important to know that naive query and retrieval may not produce the best
possible results! Ultimately understanding the data will help get the most out of the retrieval
based question-answering approach.

Addressing transcription misspellings: prompt


vs post-processing
prestontuggle
Open in Github
Aug 10, 2023

We are addressing the problem of enhancing the precision of transcriptions, particularly when it
comes to company names and product references. Our solution involves a dual strategy that
utilizes both the Whisper prompt parameter and GPT-4's post-processing capabilities.

Two approaches to correct inaccuracies are:

We input a list of correct spellings directly into Whisper's prompt parameter to guide the
initial transcription.

We utilized GPT-4 to fix misspellings post transcription, again using the same list of correct
spellings in the prompt.

These strategies aimed at ensuring precise transcription of unfamilar proper nouns.

Setup

To get started, let's:

Import the OpenAI Python library (if you don't have it, you'll need to install it with pip
install openai )

Download the audio file example

# imports
from openai import OpenAI # for making OpenAI API calls
import urllib # for downloading example audio files
import os # for accessing environment variables
client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

# set download paths


ZyntriQix_remote_filepath = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/ZyntriQix.wav"

# set local save locations


ZyntriQix_filepath = "data/ZyntriQix.wav"

# download example audio files and save locally


urllib.request.urlretrieve(ZyntriQix_remote_filepath, ZyntriQix_filepath)

('data/ZyntriQix.wav', <http.client.HTTPMessage at 0x10559a910>)

Setting our baseline with a fictitious audio recording

Our reference point is a monologue, which was generated by ChatGPT from prompts given by
the author. The author then voiced this content. So, the author both guided the ChatGPT's
output with prompts and brought it to life by speaking it.

Our fictitious company, ZyntriQix, offers a range of tech products. These include Digique Plus,
CynapseFive, VortiQore V8, EchoNix Array, OrbitalLink Seven, and DigiFractal Matrix. We also
spearhead several initiatives such as PULSE, RAPT, B.R.I.C.K., Q.U.A.R.T.Z., and F.L.I.N.T.

# define a wrapper function for seeing how prompts affect transcriptions


def transcribe(prompt: str, audio_filepath) -> str:
"""Given a prompt, transcribe the audio file."""
transcript = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
file=open(audio_filepath, "rb"),
model="whisper-1",
prompt=prompt,
)
return transcript.text

# baseline transcription with no prompt


transcribe(prompt="", audio_filepath=ZyntriQix_filepath)
"Have you heard of ZentricX? This tech giant boasts products like Digi-Q+, Synapse 5, VortiCore

Whisper transcribed our company name, product names, and miscapitalized our acronyms
incorrectly. Let's pass the correct names as a list in the prompt.

# add the correct spelling names to the prompt

audio_filepath=ZyntriQix_filepath,
)

"Have you heard of ZyntriQix? This tech giant boasts products like Digique Plus, CynapseFive, V

When passing the list of product names, some of the product names are transcribed correctly
while others are still misspelled.

# add a full product list to the prompt


transcribe(
prompt="ZyntriQix, Digique Plus, CynapseFive, VortiQore V8, EchoNix Array, OrbitalLink Seven, Dig
audio_filepath=ZyntriQix_filepath,
)

"Have you heard of ZentricX? This tech giant boasts products like DigiCube Plus, Synapse 5, Vor

You can use GPT-4 to fix spelling mistakes

Leveraging GPT-4 proves especially useful when the speech content is unknown beforehand
and we have a list of product names readily available.

The post-processing technique using GPT-4 is notably more scalable than depending solely on
Whisper's prompt parameter, which has a token limit of 244. GPT-4 allows us to process larger
lists of correct spellings, making it a more robust method for handling extensive product lists.
However, this post-processing technique isn't without limitations. It's constrained by the context
window of the chosen model, which may pose challenges when dealing with vast numbers of
unique terms. For instance, companies with thousands of SKUs may find that the context
window of GPT-4 is insufficient to handle their requirements, and they might need to explore
alternative solutions.

Interestingly, the GPT-4 post-processing technique seems more reliable than using Whisper
alone. This method, which leverages a product list, enhances the reliability of our results.
However, this increased reliability comes at a price, as using this approach can increase costs
and can result in higher latency.

# define a wrapper function for seeing how prompts affect transcriptions


def transcribe_with_spellcheck(system_message, audio_filepath):
completion = client.chat.completions.create(

{"role": "system", "content": system_message},
{
"role": "user",
"content": transcribe(prompt="", audio_filepath=audio_filepath),
},
],
)
return completion.choices[0].message.content

Now, let's input the original product list into GPT-4 and evaluate its performance. By doing so,
we aim to assess the AI model's ability to correctly spell the proprietary product names, even
with no prior knowledge of the exact terms to appear in the transcription. In our experiment,
GPT-4 was successful in correctly spelling our product names, confirming its potential as a
reliable tool for ensuring transcription accuracy.

This notebook demonstrates how to use Redis as high-speed context memory with ChatGPT.

Prerequisites

Redis instance with the Redis Search and Redis JSON modules

Redis-py
Cookbook client lib About API Docs Contribute

OpenAI Python client lib

OpenAI API key

Installation

Install Python modules necessary for the examples.

! pip install redis openai python-dotenv openai[datalib]

OpenAI API Key

Create a .env file and add your OpenAI key to it

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key

OpenAI Setup
Key load + helper function for chat completion

from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
openai.api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model=model,
messages=messages,
temperature=0,
)
return response.choices[0].message["content"]

Experiment - Chat Completion on a Topic outside of the


Model's Knowledge Cutoff Date

Gpt-3.5-turbo was trained on data up to Sep 2021. Let's ask it a question about something that
is beyond that date. In this case, the FTX/Sam Bankman-Fried scandal.

prompt = "Is Sam Bankman-Fried's company, FTX, considered a well-managed company?"


response = get_completion(prompt)
print(response)

Incomplete Information

An unfortunate behavior of these AI systems is the system will provide a confident-sounding


response - even when the system is not confident with its result. One way to mitigate this is
prompt re-engineering, as seen below.

prompt ="Is Sam Bankman-Fried's company, FTX, considered a well-managed company? If you don't know f
response = get_completion(prompt)
print(response)

Additional Context
Another way to combat incomplete information is to give the system more information such
that it can make intelligent decisions vs guessing. We'll use Redis as the source for that
additional context. We'll pull in business news articles from after the GPT knowledge cut-off
date such that the system will have a better understanding of how FTX was actually managed.

Embedding texts that are longer than the


model's maximum context length
Filipe de Avila Belbute Peres
Open in Github
Jan 17, 2023

OpenAI's embedding models cannot embed text that exceeds a maximum length. The
maximum length varies by model, and is measured by tokens, not string length. If you are
unfamiliar with tokenization, check out How to count tokens with tiktoken.

This notebook shows how to handle texts that are longer than a model's maximum context
length. We'll demonstrate using embeddings from text-embedding-3-small , but the same
ideas can be applied to other models and tasks. To learn more about embeddings, check out
the OpenAI Embeddings Guide.

1. Model context length

First, we select the model and define a function to get embeddings from the API.

from openai import OpenAI


import os
import openai
from tenacity import retry, wait_random_exponential, stop_after_attempt, retry_if_not_exception_type

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

EMBEDDING_MODEL = 'text-embedding-3-small'
EMBEDDING_CTX_LENGTH = 8191
EMBEDDING_ENCODING = 'cl100k_base'

# let's make sure to not retry on an invalid request, because that is what we want to demonstrate
@retry(wait=wait_random_exponential(min=1, max=20), stop=stop_after_attempt(6), retry=retry_if_not_ex
def get_embedding(text_or_tokens, model=EMBEDDING_MODEL):
return client.embeddings.create(input=text_or_tokens, model=model).data[0].embedding
The text-embedding-3-small model has a context length of 8191 tokens with the cl100k_base
encoding, and we can see that going over that limit causes an error.

long_text = 'AGI ' * 5000


try:
get_embedding(long_text)
except openai.BadRequestError as e:
print(e)

Error code: 400 - {'error': {'message': "This model's maximum context length is 8192 tokens, ho

Clearly we want to avoid these errors, particularly when handling programmatically with a large
number of embeddings. Yet, we still might be faced with texts that are longer than the
maximum context length. Below we describe and provide recipes for the main approaches to
handling these longer texts: (1) simply truncating the text to the maximum allowed length, and
(2) chunking the text and embedding each chunk individually.

1. Truncating the input text

The simplest solution is to truncate the input text to the maximum allowed length. Because the
context length is measured in tokens, we have to first tokenize the text before truncating it. The
API accepts inputs both in the form of text or tokens, so as long as you are careful that you are
using the appropriate encoding, there is no need to convert the tokens back into string form.
Below is an example of such a truncation function.

import tiktoken

def truncate_text_tokens(text, encoding_name=EMBEDDING_ENCODING, max_tokens=EMBEDDING_CTX_LENGTH):


"""Truncate a string to have `max_tokens` according to the given encoding."""
encoding = tiktoken.get_encoding(encoding_name)
return encoding.encode(text)[:max_tokens]

Our example from before now works without error.

truncated = truncate_text_tokens(long_text)
len(get_embedding(truncated))
1536

2. Chunking the input text

Though truncation works, discarding potentially relevant text is a clear drawback. Another
approach is to divide the input text into chunks and then embed each chunk individually. Then,
we can either use the chunk embeddings separately, or combine them in some way, such as
averaging (weighted by the size of each chunk).

We will take a function from Python's own cookbook that breaks up a sequence into chunks.

from itertools import islice

def batched(iterable, n):


"""Batch data into tuples of length n. The last batch may be shorter."""
# batched('ABCDEFG', 3) --> ABC DEF G
if n < 1:
raise ValueError('n must be at least one')
it = iter(iterable)
while (batch := tuple(islice(it, n))):
yield batch

Now we define a function that encodes a string into tokens and then breaks it up into chunks.

def chunked_tokens(text, encoding_name, chunk_length):


encoding = tiktoken.get_encoding(encoding_name)
tokens = encoding.encode(text)
chunks_iterator = batched(tokens, chunk_length)
yield from chunks_iterator

Finally, we can write a function that safely handles embedding requests, even when the input
text is longer than the maximum context length, by chunking the input tokens and embedding
each chunk individually. The average flag can be set to True to return the weighted average
of the chunk embeddings, or False to simply return the unmodified list of chunk embeddings.

import numpy as np

def len_safe_get_embedding(text, model=EMBEDDING_MODEL, max_tokens=EMBEDDING_CTX_LENGTH, encoding_nam


chunk_embeddings = []
chunk_lens = []
for chunk in chunked_tokens(text, encoding_name=encoding_name, chunk_length=max_tokens):
chunk_embeddings.append(get_embedding(chunk, model=model))
chunk_lens.append(len(chunk))

if average:
chunk_embeddings = np.average(chunk_embeddings, axis=0, weights=chunk_lens)
chunk_embeddings = chunk_embeddings / np.linalg.norm(chunk_embeddings) # normalizes length t
chunk_embeddings = chunk_embeddings.tolist()
return chunk_embeddings

Once again, we can now handle long input texts.

average_embedding_vector = len_safe_get_embedding(long_text, average=True)


chunks_embedding_vectors = len_safe_get_embedding(long_text, average=False)

print(f"Setting average=True gives us a single {len(average_embedding_vector)}-dimensional embedding


print(f"Setting average=False gives us {len(chunks_embedding_vectors)} embedding vectors, one for eac

Setting average=True gives us a single 1536-dimensional embedding vector for our long text.
Setting average=False gives us 2 embedding vectors, one for each of the chunks.

In some cases, it may make sense to split chunks on paragraph boundaries or sentence
boundaries to help preserve the meaning of the text.

Using PolarDB-PG as a vector database for


OpenAI embeddings
liuchengshan-lcs
Open in Github
Jul 10, 2023

This notebook guides you step by step on using PolarDB-PG as a vector database for OpenAI
embeddings.

This notebook presents an end-to-end process of:

1. Using precomputed embeddings created by OpenAI API.

2. Storing the embeddings in a cloud instance of PolarDB-PG.

3. Converting raw text query to an embedding with OpenAI API.

4. Using PolarDB-PG to perform the nearest neighbour search in the created collection.

What is PolarDB-PG
PolarDB-PG is a high-performance vector database that adopts a read-write separation
architecture. It is a cloud-native database managed by Alibaba Cloud, 100% compatible with
PostgreSQL, and highly compatible with Oracle syntax. It supports processing massive vector
data storage and queries, and greatly improves the efficiency of vector calculations through
optimization of underlying execution algorithms, providing users with fast, elastic, high-
performance, massive storage, and secure and reliable vector database services. Additionally,
PolarDB-PG also supports multi-dimensional and multi-modal spatiotemporal information
engines and geographic information engines.At the same time, PolarDB-PG is equipped with
complete OLAP functionality and service level agreements, which has been recognized and used
by many users;

Deployment options
Using PolarDB-PG Cloud Vector Database. Click here to fast deploy it.

Prerequisites

For the purposes of this exercise we need to prepare a couple of things:

1. PolarDB-PG cloud server instance.

2. The 'psycopg2' library to interact with the vector database. Any other postgresql client
library is ok.

3. An OpenAI API key.

We might validate if the server was launched successfully by running a simple curl command:

Install requirements
This notebook obviously requires the openai and psycopg2 packages, but there are also some
other additional libraries we will use. The following command installs them all:

! pip install openai psycopg2 pandas wget

Prepare your OpenAI API key The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of the documents
and queries.

If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY.

If you have any doubts about setting the API key through environment variables, please refer to
Best Practices for API Key Safety.

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


print("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

OPENAI_API_KEY is ready

Connect to PolarDB

First add it to your environment variables. or you can just change the "psycopg2.connect"
parameters below

Connecting to a running instance of PolarDB server is easy with the official Python library:

import os
import psycopg2

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["PGHOST"] = "your_host"
# os.environ["PGPORT"] "5432"),
# os.environ["PGDATABASE"] "postgres"),
# os.environ["PGUSER"] "user"),
# os.environ["PGPASSWORD"] "password"),

connection = psycopg2.connect(
host=os.environ.get("PGHOST", "localhost"),
port=os.environ.get("PGPORT", "5432"),
database=os.environ.get("PGDATABASE", "postgres"),
user=os.environ.get("PGUSER", "user"),
password=os.environ.get("PGPASSWORD", "password")
)

# Create a new cursor object


cursor = connection.cursor()

We can test the connection by running any available method:

# Execute a simple query to test the connection


cursor.execute("SELECT 1;")
result = cursor.fetchone()

# Check the query result


if result == (1,):
print("Connection successful!")
else:
print("Connection failed.")
Connection successful!

import wget

embeddings_url = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde

# The file is ~700 MB so this will take some time


wget.download(embeddings_url)

'vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.zip'

The downloaded file has to be then extracted:

import zipfile
import os
import re
import tempfile

current_directory = os.getcwd()
zip_file_path = os.path.join(current_directory, "vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.zip")
output_directory = os.path.join(current_directory, "../../data")

with zipfile.ZipFile(zip_file_path, "r") as zip_ref:


zip_ref.extractall(output_directory)

# check the csv file exist


file_name = "vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv"
data_directory = os.path.join(current_directory, "../../data")
file_path = os.path.join(data_directory, file_name)

if os.path.exists(file_path):
print(f"The file {file_name} exists in the data directory.")
else:
print(f"The file {file_name} does not exist in the data directory.")

The file vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv exists in the data directory.

Index data
PolarDB stores data in relation where each object is described by at least one vector. Our
relation will be called articles and each object will be described by both title and content
vectors.

We will start with creating a relation and create a vector index on both title and content, and
then we will fill it with our precomputed embeddings.

create_table_sql = '''
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS public.articles (
id INTEGER NOT NULL,
url TEXT,
title TEXT,
content TEXT,
title_vector vector(1536),
content_vector vector(1536),
vector_id INTEGER
);

ALTER TABLE public.articles ADD PRIMARY KEY (id);


'''

# SQL statement for creating indexes


create_indexes_sql = '''
CREATE INDEX ON public.articles USING ivfflat (content_vector) WITH (lists = 1000);

CREATE INDEX ON public.articles USING ivfflat (title_vector) WITH (lists = 1000);


'''

# Execute the SQL statements


cursor.execute(create_table_sql)
cursor.execute(create_indexes_sql)

# Commit the changes


connection.commit()

Load data

In this section we are going to load the data prepared previous to this session, so you don't
have to recompute the embeddings of Wikipedia articles with your own credits.

import io

# Path to your local CSV file


csv_file_path = '../../data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv'

# Define a generator function to process the file line by line


def process_file(file_path):
with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
for line in file:
yield line

# Create a StringIO object to store the modified lines


modified_lines = io.StringIO(''.join(list(process_file(csv_file_path))))

# Create the COPY command for the copy_expert method


copy_command = '''
COPY public.articles (id, url, title, content, title_vector, content_vector, vector_id)
FROM STDIN WITH (FORMAT CSV, HEADER true, DELIMITER ',');
'''

# Execute the COPY command using the copy_expert method


cursor.copy_expert(copy_command, modified_lines)

# Commit the changes


connection.commit()

# Check the collection size to make sure all the points have been stored
count_sql = """select count(*) from public.articles;"""
cursor.execute(count_sql)
result = cursor.fetchone()
print(f"Count:{result[0]}")

Count:25000

Search data

Once the data is put into Qdrant we will start querying the collection for the closest vectors. We
may provide an additional parameter vector_name to switch from title to content based search.

This notebook shows how we prepared a dataset of Wikipedia articles for search, used in
Question_answering_using_embeddings.ipynb.

Cookbook
Procedure: About API Docs Contribute

0. Prerequisites: Import libraries, set API key (if needed)

1. Collect: We download a few hundred Wikipedia articles about the 2022 Olympics

2. Chunk: Documents are split into short, semi-self-contained sections to be embedded

3. Embed: Each section is embedded with the OpenAI API

4. Store: Embeddings are saved in a CSV file (for large datasets, use a vector database)

0. Prerequisites

Import libraries

# imports
import mwclient # for downloading example Wikipedia articles
import mwparserfromhell # for splitting Wikipedia articles into sections
import openai # for generating embeddings
import os # for environment variables
import pandas as pd # for DataFrames to store article sections and embeddings
import re # for cutting <ref> links out of Wikipedia articles
import tiktoken # for counting tokens

client = openai.OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as e

Install any missing libraries with pip install in your terminal. E.g.,
pip install openai

(You can also do this in a notebook cell with !pip install openai .)

If you install any libraries, be sure to restart the notebook kernel.

Set API key (if needed)

Note that the OpenAI library will try to read your API key from the OPENAI_API_KEY
environment variable. If you haven't already, set this environment variable by following these
instructions.

1. Collect documents

In this example, we'll download a few hundred Wikipedia articles related to the 2022 Winter
Olympics.

# get Wikipedia pages about the 2022 Winter Olympics

CATEGORY_TITLE = "Category:2022 Winter Olympics"


WIKI_SITE = "en.wikipedia.org"

def titles_from_category(
category: mwclient.listing.Category, max_depth: int
) -> set[str]:
"""Return a set of page titles in a given Wiki category and its subcategories."""
titles = set()
for cm in category.members():
if type(cm) == mwclient.page.Page:
# ^type() used instead of isinstance() to catch match w/ no inheritance
titles.add(cm.name)
elif isinstance(cm, mwclient.listing.Category) and max_depth > 0:
deeper_titles = titles_from_category(cm, max_depth=max_depth - 1)
titles.update(deeper_titles)
return titles

site = mwclient.Site(WIKI_SITE)
category_page = site.pages[CATEGORY_TITLE]
titles = titles_from_category(category_page, max_depth=1)
# ^note: max_depth=1 means we go one level deep in the category tree
print(f"Found {len(titles)} article titles in {CATEGORY_TITLE}.")
Found 731 article titles in Category:2022 Winter Olympics.

2. Chunk documents

Now that we have our reference documents, we need to prepare them for search.

Because GPT can only read a limited amount of text at once, we'll split each document into
chunks short enough to be read.

For this specific example on Wikipedia articles, we'll:

Discard less relevant-looking sections like External Links and Footnotes

Clean up the text by removing reference tags (e.g., ), whitespace, and super short sections

Split each article into sections

Prepend titles and subtitles to each section's text, to help GPT understand the context

If a section is long (say, > 1,600 tokens), we'll recursively split it into smaller sections, trying
to split along semantic boundaries like paragraphs

Next, we'll recursively split long sections into smaller sections.

There's no perfect recipe for splitting text into sections.

Some tradeoffs include:

Longer sections may be better for questions that require more context

Longer sections may be worse for retrieval, as they may have more topics muddled
together

Shorter sections are better for reducing costs (which are proportional to the number of
tokens)

Shorter sections allow more sections to be retrieved, which may help with recall

Overlapping sections may help prevent answers from being cut by section boundaries

Here, we'll use a simple approach and limit sections to 1,600 tokens each, recursively halving
any sections that are too long. To avoid cutting in the middle of useful sentences, we'll split
along paragraph boundaries when possible.

Lviv was one of the host cities of [[UEFA Euro 2012]].

3. Embed document chunks

Now that we've split our library into shorter self-contained strings, we can compute
embeddings for each.

(For large embedding jobs, use a script like api_request_parallel_processor.py to parallelize


requests while throttling to stay under rate limits.)

EMBEDDING_MODEL = "text-embedding-3-small"
BATCH_SIZE = 1000 # you can submit up to 2048 embedding inputs per request

embeddings = []
for batch_start in range(0, len(wikipedia_strings), BATCH_SIZE):
batch_end = batch_start + BATCH_SIZE
batch = wikipedia_strings[batch_start:batch_end]
print(f"Batch {batch_start} to {batch_end-1}")
response = client.embeddings.create(model=EMBEDDING_MODEL, input=batch)
for i, be in enumerate(response.data):
assert i == be.index # double check embeddings are in same order as input
batch_embeddings = [e.embedding for e in response.data]
embeddings.extend(batch_embeddings)

df = pd.DataFrame({"text": wikipedia_strings, "embedding": embeddings})

Batch 0 to 999
Batch 1000 to 1999
Batch 2000 to 2999
Batch 3000 to 3999
Batch 4000 to 4999
Batch 5000 to 5999
Batch 6000 to 6999

4. Store document chunks and embeddings


Because this example only uses a few thousand strings, we'll store them in a CSV file.

(For larger datasets, use a vector database, which will be more performant.)

# save document chunks and embeddings

SAVE_PATH = "data/winter_olympics_2022.csv"

df.to_csv(SAVE_PATH, index=False)

Azure chat completion models with your own


data (preview)
Krista Pratico
Open in Github
Sep 10, 2023

This example shows how to use Azure OpenAI service models with your own data. The feature is
currently in preview.

Azure OpenAI on your data enables you to run supported chat models such as GPT-3.5-Turbo
and GPT-4 on your data without needing to train or fine-tune models. Running models on your
data enables you to chat on top of, and analyze your data with greater accuracy and speed. One
of the key benefits of Azure OpenAI on your data is its ability to tailor the content of
conversational AI. Because the model has access to, and can reference specific sources to
support its responses, answers are not only based on its pretrained knowledge but also on the
latest information available in the designated data source. This grounding data also helps the
model avoid generating responses based on outdated or incorrect information.

Azure OpenAI on your own data with Azure AI Search (f.k.a. Azure Cognitive Search) provides a
customizable, pre-built solution for knowledge retrieval, from which a conversational AI
application can be built. To see alternative methods for knowledge retrieval and semantic
search, check out the cookbook examples for vector databases.

How it works

Azure OpenAI on your own data connects the model with your data, giving it the ability to
retrieve and utilize data in a way that enhances the model's output. Together with Azure AI
Search, data is retrieved from designated data sources based on the user input and provided
conversation history. The data is then augmented and resubmitted as a prompt to the model,
giving the model contextual information it can use to generate a response.

See the Data, privacy, and security for Azure OpenAI Service for more information.
Prerequisites

To get started, we'll cover a few prequisites.

To properly access the Azure OpenAI Service, we need to create the proper resources at the
Azure Portal (you can check a detailed guide on how to do this in the Microsoft Docs)

To use your own data with Azure OpenAI models, you will need:

1. Azure OpenAI access and a resource with a chat model deployed (for example, GPT-3 or
GPT-4)

2. Azure AI Search (f.k.a. Azure Cognitive Search) resource

3. Azure Blob Storage resource

4. Your documents to be used as data (See data source options)

For a full walk-through on how to upload your documents to blob storage and create an index
using the Azure AI Studio, see this Quickstart.

Setup

First, we install the necessary dependencies.

! pip install "openai>=1.0.0,<2.0.0"


! pip install python-dotenv

In this example, we'll use dotenv to load our environment variables. To connect with Azure
OpenAI and the Search index, the following variables should be added to a .env file in
KEY=VALUE format:

AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT - the Azure OpenAI endpoint. This can be found under "Keys and

Endpoints" for your Azure OpenAI resource in the Azure Portal.

AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY - the Azure OpenAI API key. This can be found under "Keys and

Endpoints" for your Azure OpenAI resource in the Azure Portal. Omit if using Azure Active
Directory authentication (see below Authentication using Microsoft Active Directory )
SEARCH_ENDPOINT - the AI Search endpoint. This URL be found on the "Overview" of your

Search resource on the Azure Portal.

SEARCH_KEY - the AI Search API key. Found under "Keys" for your Search resource in the

Azure Portal.

SEARCH_INDEX_NAME - the name of the index you created with your own data.

import os
import openai
import dotenv

dotenv.load_dotenv()

Authentication

The Azure OpenAI service supports multiple authentication mechanisms that include API keys
and Azure Active Directory token credentials.

use_azure_active_directory = False # Set this flag to True if you are using Azure Active Directory

Authentication using API key

To set up the OpenAI SDK to use an Azure API Key, we need to set api_key to a key associated
with your endpoint (you can find this key in "Keys and Endpoints" under "Resource Management"
in the Azure Portal). You'll also find the endpoint for your resource here.

if not use_azure_active_directory:
endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"]
api_key = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"]
# set the deployment name for the model we want to use
deployment = "<deployment-id-of-the-model-to-use>"

client = openai.AzureOpenAI(
base_url=f"{endpoint}/openai/deployments/{deployment}/extensions",
api_key=api_key,
api_version="2023-09-01-preview"
)

Authentication using Azure Active Directory


Let's now see how we can autheticate via Azure Active Directory. We'll start by installing the
azure-identity library. This library will provide the token credentials we need to authenticate

and help us build a token credential provider through the get_bearer_token_provider helper
function. It's recommended to use get_bearer_token_provider over providing a static token to
AzureOpenAI because this API will automatically cache and refresh tokens for you.

For more information on how to set up Azure Active Directory authentication with Azure
OpenAI, see the documentation.

! pip install "azure-identity>=1.15.0"

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, get_bearer_token_provider

if use_azure_active_directory:
endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"]
api_key = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"]
# set the deployment name for the model we want to use
deployment = "<deployment-id-of-the-model-to-use>"

client = openai.AzureOpenAI(
base_url=f"{endpoint}/openai/deployments/{deployment}/extensions",
azure_ad_token_provider=get_bearer_token_provider(DefaultAzureCredential(), "https://cognitiv
api_version="2023-09-01-preview"
)

“Note: the AzureOpenAI infers the following arguments from their corresponding
environment variables if they are not provided:”

api_key from AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY

azure_ad_token from AZURE_OPENAI_AD_TOKEN

api_version from OPENAI_API_VERSION

azure_endpoint from AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT

Chat completion model with your own data

Setting the context


In this example, we want our model to base its responses on Azure AI services documentation
data. Following the Quickstart shared previously, we have added the markdown file for the
Azure AI services and machine learning documentation page to our search index. The model is
now ready to answer questions about Azure AI services and machine learning.

Code

Now we can use Azure on your own data with Chat Completions. Providing our search
endpoint, key, and index name in dataSources , any questions posed to the model will now be
grounded in our own data. An additional property, context , will be provided in the response to
show the data the model referenced to answer the question.

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What are the differences between Azure Machine Learning an
model=deployment,
extra_body={
"dataSources": [
{
"type": "AzureCognitiveSearch",
"parameters": {
"endpoint": os.environ["SEARCH_ENDPOINT"],
"key": os.environ["SEARCH_KEY"],
"indexName": os.environ["SEARCH_INDEX_NAME"],
}
}
]
}
)
print(f"{completion.choices[0].message.role}: {completion.choices[0].message.content}")

# `context` is in the model_extra for Azure


print(f"\nContext: {completion.choices[0].message.model_extra['context']['messages'][0]['content']}")

If you would prefer to stream the response from the model, you can pass the stream=True
keyword argument:

response = client.chat.completions.create(
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What are the differences between Azure Machine Learning an
model=deployment,
extra_body={
"dataSources": [
{
"type": "AzureCognitiveSearch",
"parameters": {
"endpoint": os.environ["SEARCH_ENDPOINT"],
"key": os.environ["SEARCH_KEY"],
"indexName": os.environ["SEARCH_INDEX_NAME"],
}
}
]
},
stream=True,
)

for chunk in response:


delta = chunk.choices[0].delta

if delta.role:
print("\n"+ delta.role + ": ", end="", flush=True)
if delta.content:
print(delta.content, end="", flush=True)
if delta.model_extra.get("context"):
print(f"Context: {delta.model_extra['context']}", end="", flush=True)

Translate a book writen in LaTeX from


Slovenian into English
Boris Power
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

With permission of the author, we will demonstrate how to translate the book Euclidean Plane
Geometry, written by Milan Mitrović from Slovenian into English, without modifying any of the
LaTeX commands.

To achieve this, we will first split the book into chunks, each roughly a page long, then translate
each chunk into English, and finally stitch them back together.

1. Read in the data

from openai import OpenAI


import os
from transformers import GPT2Tokenizer

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if you didn't set as a

tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")

with open("data/geometry_slovenian.tex", "r") as f:


text = f.read()

1.1 Count the tokens in each chunk

chunks = text.split('\n\n')
ntokens = []
for chunk in chunks:
ntokens.append(len(tokenizer.encode(chunk)))
max(ntokens)

Token indices sequence length is longer than the specified maximum sequence length for this mod

1473

It turns out that a double newline is a good separator in this case, in order not to break the flow
of the text. Also no individual chunk is larger than 1500 tokens. The model we will use is text-
davinci-002, which has a limit of 4096 tokens, so we don't need to worry about breaking the
chunks down further.

We will group the shorter chunks into chunks of around 1000 tokens, to increase the coherence
of the text, and decrease the frequency of breaks within the text.

Notice that adding a sample untranslated and translated first command, where only the content
of the chapter name needs to be translated, helps to get more consistent results.

The format of the prompt sent to the model consists of:

1. A high level instruction to translate only the text, but not commands into the desired
language

2. A sample untranslated command, where only the content of the chapter name needs to be
translated

3. The chunk of text to be translated

4. The translated sample command from 2, which shows the model the beginning of the
translation process

The expected output is the translated chunk of text.

$\mathcal{I}$ a mirror reflection. Let $A_1$, $B_1$ and $C_1$ be in order the center points
Because it is a right triangle is $\mathcal{I}(A_1C_1)=A_1C_1$, which
means that the line $A_1C_1$ is of this mirror reflection. It is not
difficult to prove that for the point $A'_1=\mathcal{I}(A_1)$ (both
lie on the axis $A_1C_1$) is
$\overrightarrow{A_1A'_1}=3\overrightarrow{A_1C_1}$, so
$\mathcal{I}=\mathcal{G}_{3\overrightarrow{A_1C_1}}$.

Let $A'=\mathcal{G}_{\overrightarrow{MN}}(A)$ (where $M,N\in


p$ and $MN\cong l$). The point $Y$ is obtained as the intersection of the lines $p$
and $X'Y$ (see also example \ref{HeronProbl}).

\item \res{Let $ABC$ be an isosceles right triangle with a right angle at the vertex $A$. What
$\mathcal{G}_{\overrightarrow{AB}}\circ \mathcal{G}_{\overrightarrow{CA}}$ represent?}

Let $p$ and $q$ be the simetrali of the sides $CA$ and $AB$ of the triangle
$ABC$. By \ref{izoZrcDrsKompSrOsn} is:
$$\mathcal{G}_{\overrightarrow{AB}}\circ
\mathcal{G}_{\overrightarrow{CA}}=

\mathcal{S} q\circ\mathcal{S} p $$ Because $ABC$ is an isosceles

We can see here that this one chunk in particular translates only the text, but leaves LaTeX
commands intact.

Let's now translate all the chunks in the book - this will take 2-3 hours, as we're processing
requests sequentially.

Using MyScale for Embeddings Search


Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Jun 27, 2023

This notebook takes you through a simple flow to download some data, embed it, and then
index and search it using a selection of vector databases. This is a common requirement for
customers who want to store and search our embeddings with their own data in a secure
environment to support production use cases such as chatbots, topic modelling and more.

What is a Vector Database


A vector database is a database made to store, manage and search embedding vectors. The use
of embeddings to encode unstructured data (text, audio, video and more) as vectors for
consumption by machine-learning models has exploded in recent years, due to the increasing
effectiveness of AI in solving use cases involving natural language, image recognition and other
unstructured forms of data. Vector databases have emerged as an effective solution for
enterprises to deliver and scale these use cases.

Why use a Vector Database

Vector databases enable enterprises to take many of the embeddings use cases we've shared in
this repo (question and answering, chatbot and recommendation services, for example), and
make use of them in a secure, scalable environment. Many of our customers make embeddings
solve their problems at small scale but performance and security hold them back from going
into production - we see vector databases as a key component in solving that, and in this guide
we'll walk through the basics of embedding text data, storing it in a vector database and using it
for semantic search.

Demo Flow
The demo flow is:
Setup: Import packages and set any required variables

Load data: Load a dataset and embed it using OpenAI embeddings

MyScale

Setup: Set up the MyScale Python client. For more details go here

Index Data: We'll create a table and index it for content.

Search Data: Run a few example queries with various goals in mind.

Once you've run through this notebook you should have a basic understanding of how to setup
and use vector databases, and can move on to more complex use cases making use of our
embeddings.

Setup

Import the required libraries and set the embedding model that we'd like to use.

# We'll need to install the MyScale client


!pip install clickhouse-connect

#Install wget to pull zip file


!pip install wget

import openai

from typing import List, Iterator


import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import os
import wget
from ast import literal_eval

# MyScale's client library for Python


import clickhouse_connect

# I've set this to our new embeddings model, this can be changed to the embedding model of your choic
EMBEDDING_MODEL = "text-embedding-3-small"

# Ignore unclosed SSL socket warnings - optional in case you get these errors
import warnings

warnings.filterwarnings(action="ignore", message="unclosed", category=ResourceWarning)


warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=DeprecationWarning)
Load data

In this section we'll load embedded data that we've prepared previous to this session.

embeddings_url = 'https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde

# The file is ~700 MB so this will take some time

MyScale

The next vector database we'll consider is MyScale.

MyScale is a database built on Clickhouse that combines vector search and SQL analytics to
offer a high-performance, streamlined, and fully managed experience. It's designed to facilitate
joint queries and analyses on both structured and vector data, with comprehensive SQL support
for all data processing.

Deploy and execute vector search with SQL on your cluster within two minutes by using
MyScale Console.

Connect to MyScale

Follow the connections details section to retrieve the cluster host, username, and password
information from the MyScale console, and use it to create a connection to your cluster as
shown below:
# initialize client
client = clickhouse_connect.get_client(host='YOUR_CLUSTER_HOST', port=8443, username='YOUR_USERNAME',

Index data

We will create an SQL table called articles in MyScale to store the embeddings data. The
table will include a vector index with a cosine distance metric and a constraint for the length of
the embeddings. Use the following code to create and insert data into the articles table:

# create articles table with vector index


embedding_len=len(article_df['content_vector'][0]) # 1536

client.command(f"""
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS default.articles
(
id UInt64,
url String,
title String,
text String,
content_vector Array(Float32),
CONSTRAINT cons_vector_len CHECK length(content_vector) = {embedding_len},
VECTOR INDEX article_content_index content_vector TYPE HNSWFLAT('metric_type=Cosine')
)
ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY id
""")

# insert data into the table in batches


from tqdm.auto import tqdm

batch_size = 100
total_records = len(article_df)

# we only need subset of columns


article_df = article_df[['id', 'url', 'title', 'text', 'content_vector']]

# upload data in batches


data = article_df.to_records(index=False).tolist()
column_names = article_df.columns.tolist()

for i in tqdm(range(0, total_records, batch_size)):


i_end = min(i + batch_size, total_records)
client.insert("default.articles", data[i:i_end], column_names=column_names)

0%| | 0/250 [00:00<?, ?it/s]


We need to check the build status of the vector index before proceeding with the search, as it is
automatically built in the background.

# check count of inserted data


print(f"articles count: {client.command('SELECT count(*) FROM default.articles')}")

# check the status of the vector index, make sure vector index is ready with 'Built' status
get_index_status="SELECT status FROM system.vector_indices WHERE name='article_content_index'"
print(f"index build status: {client.command(get_index_status)}")

articles count: 25000


index build status: InProgress

Search data
Once indexed in MyScale, we can perform vector search to find similar content. First, we will use
the OpenAI API to generate embeddings for our query. Then, we will perform the vector search
using MyScale.

query = "Famous battles in Scottish history"

# creates embedding vector from user query


embed = openai.Embedding.create(
input=query,
model="text-embedding-3-small",
)["data"][0]["embedding"]

# query the database to find the top K similar content to the given query
top_k = 10
results = client.query(f"""
SELECT id, url, title, distance(content_vector, {embed}) as dist
FROM default.articles
ORDER BY dist
LIMIT {top_k}
""")

# display results
for i, r in enumerate(results.named_results()):
print(i+1, r['title'])

Data preparation and analysis for chat model


fine-tuning
Michael Wu, Simón Fishman
Open in Github
Open Aug 21, 2023

This notebook serves as a tool to preprocess and analyze the chat dataset used for fine-tuning a
chat model. It checks for format errors, provides basic statistics, and estimates token counts for
fine-tuning costs. The method shown here corresponds to the current fine-tuning method for
gpt-3.5-turbo. See legacy fine-tuning for models like babbage-002 and davinci-002.

import json
import tiktoken # for token counting
import numpy as np
from collections import defaultdict

Data loading

We first load the chat dataset from an example JSONL file.

data_path = "data/toy_chat_fine_tuning.jsonl"

# Load the dataset


with open(data_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
dataset = [json.loads(line) for line in f]

# Initial dataset stats


print("Num examples:", len(dataset))
print("First example:")
for message in dataset[0]["messages"]:
print(message)

Num examples: 5
First example:
{'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a happy assistant that puts a positive spin on everythin
{'role': 'user', 'content': 'I fell off my bike today.'}
{'role': 'assistant', 'content': "It's great that you're getting exercise outdoors!"}

Format validation

We can perform a variety of error checks to validate that each conversation in the dataset
adheres to the format expected by the fine-tuning API. Errors are categorized based on their
nature for easier debugging.

1. Data Type Check: Checks whether each entry in the dataset is a dictionary ( dict ). Error
type: data_type .

2. Presence of Message List: Checks if a messages list is present in each entry. Error type:
missing_messages_list .

3. Message Keys Check: Validates that each message in the messages list contains the keys
role and content . Error type: message_missing_key .

4. Unrecognized Keys in Messages: Logs if a message has keys other than role , content ,
and name . Error type: message_unrecognized_key .

5. Role Validation: Ensures the role is one of "system", "user", or "assistant". Error type:
unrecognized_role .

6. Content Validation: Verifies that content has textual data and is a string. Error type:
missing_content .

7. Assistant Message Presence: Checks that each conversation has at least one message from
the assistant. Error type: example_missing_assistant_message .

The code below performs these checks, and outputs counts for each type of error found are
printed. This is useful for debugging and ensuring the dataset is ready for the next steps.

# Format error checks


format_errors = defaultdict(int)

for ex in dataset:
if not isinstance(ex, dict):
format_errors["data_type"] += 1
continue

messages = ex.get("messages", None)


if not messages:
format_errors["missing_messages_list"] += 1
continue

for message in messages:


if "role" not in message or "content" not in message:
format_errors["message_missing_key"] += 1

if any(k not in ("role", "content", "name", "function_call") for k in message):


format_errors["message_unrecognized_key"] += 1

if message.get("role", None) not in ("system", "user", "assistant", "function"):


format_errors["unrecognized_role"] += 1

content = message.get("content", None)


function_call = message.get("function_call", None)

if (not content and not function_call) or not isinstance(content, str):


format_errors["missing_content"] += 1

if not any(message.get("role", None) == "assistant" for message in messages):


format_errors["example_missing_assistant_message"] += 1

if format_errors:
print("Found errors:")
for k, v in format_errors.items():
print(f"{k}: {v}")
else:
print("No errors found")

No errors found

Token Counting Utilities

Lets define a few helpful utilities to be used in the rest of the notebook.

encoding = tiktoken.get_encoding("cl100k_base")

# not exact!
# simplified from https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/examples/How_to_count_tokens_wi
def num_tokens_from_messages(messages, tokens_per_message=3, tokens_per_name=1):
num_tokens = 0
for message in messages:
num_tokens += tokens_per_message
for key, value in message.items():
num_tokens += len(encoding.encode(value))
if key == "name":
num_tokens += tokens_per_name
num_tokens += 3
return num_tokens

def num_assistant_tokens_from_messages(messages):
num_tokens = 0
for message in messages:
if message["role"] == "assistant":
num_tokens += len(encoding.encode(message["content"]))
return num_tokens

def print_distribution(values, name):


print(f"\n#### Distribution of {name}:")
print(f"min / max: {min(values)}, {max(values)}")
print(f"mean / median: {np.mean(values)}, {np.median(values)}")
print(f"p5 / p95: {np.quantile(values, 0.1)}, {np.quantile(values, 0.9)}")

Data Warnings and Token Counts

With some lightweight analysis we can identify potential issues in the dataset, like missing
messages, and provide statistical insights into message and token counts.

1. Missing System/User Messages: Counts the number of conversations missing a "system"


or "user" message. Such messages are critical for defining the assistant's behavior and
initiating the conversation.

2. Number of Messages Per Example: Summarizes the distribution of the number of


messages in each conversation, providing insight into dialogue complexity.

3. Total Tokens Per Example: Calculates and summarizes the distribution of the total number
of tokens in each conversation. Important for understanding fine-tuning costs.

4. Tokens in Assistant's Messages: Calculates the number of tokens in the assistant's


messages per conversation and summarizes this distribution. Useful for understanding the
assistant's verbosity.

5. Token Limit Warnings: Checks if any examples exceed the maximum token limit (4096
tokens), as such examples will be truncated during fine-tuning, potentially resulting in data
loss.

# Warnings and tokens counts


n_missing_system = 0
n_missing_user = 0
n_messages = []
convo_lens = []
assistant_message_lens = []

for ex in dataset:
messages = ex["messages"]
if not any(message["role"] == "system" for message in messages):
n_missing_system += 1
if not any(message["role"] == "user" for message in messages):
n_missing_user += 1
n_messages.append(len(messages))
convo_lens.append(num_tokens_from_messages(messages))
assistant_message_lens.append(num_assistant_tokens_from_messages(messages))

print("Num examples missing system message:", n_missing_system)


print("Num examples missing user message:", n_missing_user)
print_distribution(n_messages, "num_messages_per_example")
print_distribution(convo_lens, "num_total_tokens_per_example")
print_distribution(assistant_message_lens, "num_assistant_tokens_per_example")
n_too_long = sum(l > 4096 for l in convo_lens)
print(f"\n{n_too_long} examples may be over the 4096 token limit, they will be truncated during fine-

Num examples missing system message: 1


Num examples missing user message: 1

#### Distribution of num_messages_per_example:


min / max: 2, 9
mean / median: 3.8, 3.0
p5 / p95: 2.0, 6.6000000000000005

#### Distribution of num_total_tokens_per_example:


min / max: 26, 8032
mean / median: 1648.4, 45.0
p5 / p95: 26.8, 4863.6

#### Distribution of num_assistant_tokens_per_example:


min / max: 4, 8000
mean / median: 1610.2, 10.0
p5 / p95: 6.0, 4811.200000000001

1 examples may be over the 4096 token limit, they will be truncated during fine-tuning

Cost Estimation

In this final section, we estimate the total number of tokens that will be used for fine-tuning,
which allows us to approximate the cost. It is worth noting that the duration of the fine-tuning
jobs will also increase with the token count.

# Pricing and default n_epochs estimate


MAX_TOKENS_PER_EXAMPLE = 4096

TARGET_EPOCHS = 3
MIN_TARGET_EXAMPLES = 100
MAX_TARGET_EXAMPLES = 25000
MIN_DEFAULT_EPOCHS = 1
MAX_DEFAULT_EPOCHS = 25
n_epochs = TARGET_EPOCHS
n_train_examples = len(dataset)
if n_train_examples * TARGET_EPOCHS < MIN_TARGET_EXAMPLES:
n_epochs = min(MAX_DEFAULT_EPOCHS, MIN_TARGET_EXAMPLES // n_train_examples)
elif n_train_examples * TARGET_EPOCHS > MAX_TARGET_EXAMPLES:
n_epochs = max(MIN_DEFAULT_EPOCHS, MAX_TARGET_EXAMPLES // n_train_examples)

n_billing_tokens_in_dataset = sum(min(MAX_TOKENS_PER_EXAMPLE, length) for length in convo_lens)


print(f"Dataset has ~{n_billing_tokens_in_dataset} tokens that will be charged for during training")
print(f"By default, you'll train for {n_epochs} epochs on this dataset")
print(f"By default, you'll be charged for ~{n_epochs * n_billing_tokens_in_dataset} tokens")

Dataset has ~4306 tokens that will be charged for during training
By default, you'll train for 20 epochs on this dataset
By default, you'll be charged for ~86120 tokens

What makes documentation good


Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Aug 31, 2023

Documentation puts useful information inside other people’s heads. Follow these tips to write
better documentation.

Make docs easy to skim


Few readers read linearly from top to bottom. They’ll jump around, trying to assess which bit
solves their problem, if any. To reduce their search time and increase their odds of success,
make docs easy to skim.

Split content into sections with titles. Section titles act as signposts, telling readers whether to
focus in or move on.

Prefer titles with informative sentences over abstract nouns. For example, if you use a title like
“Results”, a reader will need to hop into the following text to learn what the results actually are.
In contrast, if you use the title “Streaming reduced time to first token by 50%”, it gives the
reader the information immediately, without the burden of an extra hop.

Include a table of contents. Tables of contents help readers find information faster, akin to how
hash maps have faster lookups than linked lists. Tables of contents also have a second, oft
overlooked benefit: they give readers clues about the doc, which helps them understand if it’s
worth reading.

Keep paragraphs short. Shorter paragraphs are easier to skim. If you have an essential point,
consider putting it in its own one-sentence paragraph to reduce the odds it’s missed. Long
paragraphs can bury information.

Begin paragraphs and sections with short topic sentences that give a standalone preview.
When people skim, they look disproportionately at the first word, first line, and first sentence of
a section. Write these sentences in a way that don’t depend on prior text. For example, consider
the first sentence “Building on top of this, let’s now talk about a faster way.” This sentence will
be meaningless to someone who hasn’t read the prior paragraph. Instead, write it in a way that
can understood standalone: e.g., “Vector databases can speed up embeddings search.”

Put topic words at the beginning of topic sentences. Readers skim most efficiently when they
only need to read a word or two to know what a paragraph is about. Therefore, when writing
topic sentences, prefer putting the topic at the beginning of the sentence rather than the end.
For example, imagine you’re writing a paragraph on vector databases in the middle of a long
article on embeddings search. Instead of writing “Embeddings search can be sped up by vector
databases” prefer “Vector databases speed up embeddings search.” The second sentence is
better for skimming, because it puts the paragraph topic at the beginning of the paragraph.

Put the takeaways up front. Put the most important information at the tops of documents and
sections. Don’t write a Socratic big build up. Don’t introduce your procedure before your results.

Use bullets and tables. Bulleted lists and tables make docs easier to skim. Use them frequently.

Bold important text. Don’t be afraid to bold important text to help readers find it.

Write well

Badly written text is taxing to read. Minimize the tax on readers by writing well.

Keep sentences simple. Split long sentences into two. Cut adverbs. Cut unnecessary words and
phrases. Use the imperative mood, if applicable. Do what writing books tell you.

Write sentences that can be parsed unambiguously. For example, consider the sentence “Title
sections with sentences.” When a reader reads the word “Title”, their brain doesn’t yet know
whether “Title” is going to be a noun or verb or adjective. It takes a bit of brainpower to keep
track as they parse the rest of the sentence, and can cause a hitch if their brain mispredicted the
meaning. Prefer sentences that can be parsed more easily (e.g., “Write section titles as
sentences”) even if longer. Similarly, avoid noun phrases like “Bicycle clearance exercise notice”
which can take extra effort to parse.

Avoid left-branching sentences. Linguistic trees show how words relate to each other in
sentences. Left-branching trees require readers to hold more things in memory than right-
branching sentences, akin to breadth-first search vs depth-first search. An example of a left-
branching sentence is “You need flour, eggs, milk, butter and a dash of salt to make pancakes.”
In this sentence you don’t find out what ‘you need’ connects to until you reach the end of the
sentence. An easier-to-read right-branching version is “To make pancakes, you need flour, eggs,
milk, butter, and a dash of salt.” Watch out for sentences in which the reader must hold onto a
word for a while, and see if you can rephrase them.

Avoid demonstrative pronouns (e.g., “this”), especially across sentences. For example, instead
of saying “Building on our discussion of the previous topic, now let’s discuss function calling” try
“Building on message formatting, now let’s discuss function calling.” The second sentence is
easier to understand because it doesn’t burden the reader with recalling the previous topic.
Look for opportunities to cut demonstrative pronouns altogether: e.g., “Now let’s discuss
function calling.”

Be consistent. Human brains are amazing pattern matchers. Inconsistencies will annoy or
distract readers. If we use Title Case everywhere, use Title Case. If we use terminal commas
everywhere, use terminal commas. If all of the Cookbook notebooks are named with
underscores and sentence case, use underscores and sentence case. Don’t do anything that will
cause a reader to go ‘huh, that’s weird.’ Help them focus on the content, not its inconsistencies.

Don’t tell readers what they think or what to do. Avoid sentences like “Now you probably want
to understand how to call a function” or “Next, you’ll need to learn to call a function.” Both
examples presume a reader’s state of mind, which may annoy them or burn our credibility. Use
phrases that avoid presuming the reader’s state. E.g., “To call a function, …”

Be broadly helpful

People come to documentation with varying levels of knowledge, language proficiency, and
patience. Even if we target experienced developers, we should try to write docs helpful to
everyone.

Write simply. Explain things more simply than you think you need to. Many readers might not
speak English as a first language. Many readers might be really confused about technical
terminology and have little excess brainpower to spend on parsing English sentences. Write
simply. (But don’t oversimplify.)
Avoid abbreviations. Write things out. The cost to experts is low and the benefit to beginners is
high. Instead of IF, write instruction following. Instead of RAG, write retrieval-augmented
generation (or my preferred term: the search-ask procedure).

Offer solutions to potential problems. Even if 95% of our readers know how to install a Python
package or save environment variables, it can still be worth proactively explaining it. Including
explanations is not costly to experts—they can skim right past them. But excluding explanations
is costly to beginners—they might get stuck or even abandon us. Remember that even an
expert JavaScript engineer or C++ engineer might be a beginner at Python. Err on explaining
too much, rather than too little.

Prefer terminology that is specific and accurate. Jargon is bad. Optimize the docs for people
new to the field, instead of ourselves. For example, instead of writing “prompt”, write “input.” Or
instead of writing “context limit” write “max token limit.” The latter terms are more self-evident,
and are probably better than the jargon developed in base model days.

Keep code examples general and exportable. In code demonstrations, try to minimize
dependencies. Don’t make users install extra libraries. Don’t make them have to refer back and
forth between different pages or sections. Try to make examples simple and self-contained.

Prioritize topics by value. Documentation that covers common problems—e.g., how to count
tokens—is magnitudes more valuable than documentation that covers rare problems—e.g., how
to optimize an emoji database. Prioritize accordingly.

Don’t teach bad habits. If API keys should not be stored in code, never share an example that
stores an API key in code.

Introduce topics with a broad opening. For example, if explaining how to program a good
recommender, consider opening by briefly mentioning that recommendations are widespread
across the web, from YouTube videos to Amazon items to Wikipedia. Grounding a narrow topic
with a broad opening can help people feel more secure before jumping into uncertain territory.
And if the text is well-written, those who already know it may still enjoy it.

Break these rules when you have a good reason


Ultimately, do what you think is best. Documentation is an exercise in empathy. Put yourself in
the reader’s position, and do what you think will help them the most.

OpenAI API Monitoring with Weights & Biases


Weave
Anish Shah
Open in Github
Oct 3, 2023

Note: you will need an OpenAI API key to run this colab.

Use the W&B OpenAI integration to monitor OpenAI API calls and understand how your
projects and teams are leveraging LLMs. In this example, we'll generate templated Weave
Boards: LLM usage monitoring dashboards which you can explore and customize from the UI.

automatically track LLM usage and aggregate useful metrics like cost, latency and
throughput across your projects/teams

dynamically query and derive insights from the logs of all your OpenAI API calls

iterate visually to slice, aggregate, and explore your data; customize panels to focus on
interesting patterns; share progress more easily with your team through an interactive
dashboard

Play with a live version of this Weave Board →

New to Weights & Biases? -> Sign up for an account here <-

Step 0: Setup
Install dependencies, login to W&B so you can save and share your work, and authenticate with
OpenAI.

# if not already installed


!pip install -qqq weave openai tiktoken wandb
import wandb
wandb.login()

import weave
import os
WANDB_BASE_URL = "https://api.wandb.ai"
os.environ["WANDB_BASE_URL"] = WANDB_BASE_URL

# authenticate with OpenAI


from getpass import getpass

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is None:
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = getpass("Paste your OpenAI key from: https://platform.openai.com/acc
assert os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY", "").startswith("sk-"), "This doesn't look like a valid OpenAI API
print("OpenAI API key configured")

Step 1: Configure data streaming and


storage in W&B
Set WB_ENTITY to your wandb username or team name. Log in to W&B and navigate to Home
Page at wandb.ai/home to see valid options under your "Profile" and "Teams" in the left
sidebar.

WB_ENTITY = "" # set to your wandb username or team name


WB_PROJECT = "weave" # top-level directory for this work
STREAM_NAME = "openai_logs" # record table which stores the logs of OpenAI API calls as they stream i

Step 2: Call init_monitor()


To start monitoring OpenAI API usage, call init_monitor(<stream>) , where <stream> has the
form <wandb_team_or_user>/<wandb_project>/<stream_name> . The stream records and stores all
the OpenAI API calls.

Running this cell will print out a link to view the current project in the Weave UI.
from weave.monitoring import openai, init_monitor
m = init_monitor(f"{WB_ENTITY}/{WB_PROJECT}/{STREAM_NAME}")

# specifying a single model for simplicity


OPENAI_MODEL = 'gpt-3.5-turbo'

# prefill with some sample logs


r = openai.ChatCompletion.create(model=OPENAI_MODEL, messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hello wor
r = openai.ChatCompletion.create(model=OPENAI_MODEL, messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "what is 2

Step 3: Preview monitoring dashboard


Click on the link above to preview the data stream, then click "OpenAI Monitor Board" in the
right sidebar to create a Weave Board for this data stream.

Step 4: Explore & understand your LLM


usage
To save your work, rename the board by clicking on the autogenerated name at the top of the
page. To share your board, click "Publish" in the top right.

To visualize your work in real-time as you iterate, you can:

keep the Board open in a separate tab and refresh to view the latest data

rename the Board for easier reference at any point and "Publish" that version to share a link
with others

find previously saved Boards by navigating to the relevant W&B entity and W&B project
name from weave.wandb.ai

or open a new instance of a Board template to start fresh with all the data accumulated so
far

Next we'll illustrate a few ways you could track OpenAI API calls. There are many more
possibilities depending on your use case, and we can't wait to see what you create from these
starter templates.
Examples

Example 0: Log a prompt and its completion

Monitor a ChatCompletion request and print the corresponding response, extracting only the
text of the completion.

response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(model=OPENAI_MODEL, messages=[


{"role": "user", "content": f"What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?"},
])
print(response['choices'][0]['message']['content'])

Example 1: Track relevant parameters as attributes

Factor out parameters of interest and track them as attributes on the logged record. Here we
track the "system prompt" separately from the "prompt template" and the "equation"
parameter. This time we'll print the full structured response from the ChatCompletion call.

system_prompt = "you always write in bullet points"


prompt_template = 'solve the following equation step by step: {equation}'
params = {'equation': '4 * (3 - 1)'}
openai.ChatCompletion.create(model=OPENAI_MODEL,
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": system_prompt},
{"role": "user", "content": prompt_template.format(**params)},
],
# you can add additional attributes to the logged record
# see the monitor_api notebook for more examples
monitor_attributes={
'system_prompt': system_prompt,
'prompt_template': prompt_template,
'params': params
})

Example 2: Log an ongoing stream of messages

Monitor a stream of messages and log the result as a single record. Note: tokens are not
counted in this format.
from weave.monitoring.openai import message_from_stream
r = openai.ChatCompletion.create(model=OPENAI_MODEL, messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a robot and only speak in robot, like beep bloop bop."
{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a 50-word story."},
], stream=True)
for s in message_from_stream(r):
print(s, end='')

Example 3: Structure prompt engineering experiments

Here we compare a few toy options for the system prompt, user question, and intended
audience. Try your own experiments and see if any interesting insights emerge as you explore in
the Board and group by different parameters.

def explain_math(system_prompt, prompt_template, params):


openai.ChatCompletion.create(model=OPENAI_MODEL,
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": system_prompt},
{"role": "user", "content": prompt_template.format(**params)},
],
# you can add additional attributes to the logged record
# see the monitor_api notebook for more examples
monitor_attributes={
'system_prompt': system_prompt,
'prompt_template': prompt_template,
'params': params
})

# feel free to substitute your own prompts :)


system_prompts = ["you're extremely flowery and poetic", "you're very direct and precise", "balance b
prompt_template = 'explain the solution of the following to a {audience}: {equation}'
equations = ['x^2 + 4x + 9 = 0', '15 * (2 - 6) / 4']
audience = ["new student", "math genius"]

for system_prompt in system_prompts:


for equation in equations:
for person in audience:
params = {"equation" : equation, "audience" : person}
explain_math(system_prompt, prompt_template, params)

Unit test writing using a multi-step prompt


Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Nov 14, 2022

Complex tasks, such as writing unit tests, can benefit from multi-step prompts. In contrast to a
single prompt, a multi-step prompt generates text from GPT and then feeds that output text
back into subsequent prompts. This can help in cases where you want GPT to reason things out
before answering, or brainstorm a plan before executing it.

In this notebook, we use a 3-step prompt to write unit tests in Python using the following steps:

1. Explain: Given a Python function, we ask GPT to explain what the function is doing and
why.

2. Plan: We ask GPT to plan a set of unit tests for the function.

If the plan is too short, we ask GPT to elaborate with more ideas for unit tests.

3. Execute: Finally, we instruct GPT to write unit tests that cover the planned cases.

The code example illustrates a few embellishments on the chained, multi-step prompt:

Conditional branching (e.g., asking for elaboration only if the first plan is too short)

The choice of different models for different steps

A check that re-runs the function if the output is unsatisfactory (e.g., if the output code
cannot be parsed by Python's ast module)

Streaming output so that you can start reading the output before it's fully generated
(handy for long, multi-step outputs)

Make sure to check any code before using it, as GPT makes plenty of mistakes (especially on
character-based tasks like this one). For best results, use the most powerful model (GPT-4, as of
May 2023).

Using AnalyticDB as a vector database for


OpenAI embeddings
Richy Wang
Open in Github
Apr 5, 2023

This notebook guides you step by step on using AnalyticDB as a vector database for OpenAI
embeddings.

This notebook presents an end-to-end process of:

1. Using precomputed embeddings created by OpenAI API.

2. Storing the embeddings in a cloud instance of AnalyticDB.

3. Converting raw text query to an embedding with OpenAI API.

4. Using AnalyticDB to perform the nearest neighbour search in the created collection.

What is AnalyticDB
AnalyticDB is a high-performance distributed vector database. Fully compatible with
PostgreSQL syntax, you can effortlessly utilize it. AnalyticDB is Alibaba Cloud managed cloud-
native database with strong-performed vector compute engine. Absolute out-of-box experience
allow to scale into billions of data vectors processing with rich features including indexing
algorithms, structured & non-structured data features, realtime update, distance metrics, scalar
filtering, time travel searches etc. Also equipped with full OLAP database functionality and SLA
commitment for production usage promise;

Deployment options

Using AnalyticDB Cloud Vector Database. Click here to fast deploy it.

Prerequisites
For the purposes of this exercise we need to prepare a couple of things:

1. AnalyticDB cloud server instance.

2. The 'psycopg2' library to interact with the vector database. Any other postgresql client
library is ok.

3. An OpenAI API key.

We might validate if the server was launched successfully by running a simple curl command:

Install requirements
This notebook obviously requires the openai and psycopg2 packages, but there are also some
other additional libraries we will use. The following command installs them all:

! pip install openai psycopg2 pandas wget

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of the documents and queries.

If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY .

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for
import os

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


print("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")
OPENAI_API_KEY is ready

Connect to AnalyticDB

First add it to your environment variables. or you can just change the "psycopg2.connect"
parameters below

Connecting to a running instance of AnalyticDB server is easy with the official Python library:

import os
import psycopg2

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["PGHOST"] = "your_host"
# os.environ["PGPORT"] "5432"),
# os.environ["PGDATABASE"] "postgres"),
# os.environ["PGUSER"] "user"),
# os.environ["PGPASSWORD"] "password"),

connection = psycopg2.connect(
host=os.environ.get("PGHOST", "localhost"),
port=os.environ.get("PGPORT", "5432"),
database=os.environ.get("PGDATABASE", "postgres"),
user=os.environ.get("PGUSER", "user"),
password=os.environ.get("PGPASSWORD", "password")
)

# Create a new cursor object


cursor = connection.cursor()

We can test the connection by running any available method:

# Execute a simple query to test the connection


cursor.execute("SELECT 1;")
result = cursor.fetchone()

# Check the query result


if result == (1,):
print("Connection successful!")
else:
print("Connection failed.")
Connection successful!

import wget

embeddings_url = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde

# The file is ~700 MB so this will take some time


wget.download(embeddings_url)

100% [......................................................................] 698933052 / 69893

'vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.zip'

The downloaded file has to be then extracted:

import zipfile
import os
import re
import tempfile

current_directory = os.getcwd()
zip_file_path = os.path.join(current_directory, "vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.zip")
output_directory = os.path.join(current_directory, "../../data")

with zipfile.ZipFile(zip_file_path, "r") as zip_ref:


zip_ref.extractall(output_directory)

# check the csv file exist


file_name = "vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv"
data_directory = os.path.join(current_directory, "../../data")
file_path = os.path.join(data_directory, file_name)

if os.path.exists(file_path):
print(f"The file {file_name} exists in the data directory.")
else:
print(f"The file {file_name} does not exist in the data directory.")

The file vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv exists in the data directory.


Index data

AnalyticDB stores data in relation where each object is described by at least one vector. Our
relation will be called articles and each object will be described by both title and content
vectors. \

We will start with creating a relation and create a vector index on both title and content, and
then we will fill it with our precomputed embeddings.

create_table_sql = '''
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS public.articles (
id INTEGER NOT NULL,
url TEXT,
title TEXT,
content TEXT,
title_vector REAL[],
content_vector REAL[],
vector_id INTEGER
);

ALTER TABLE public.articles ADD PRIMARY KEY (id);


'''

# SQL statement for creating indexes


create_indexes_sql = '''
CREATE INDEX ON public.articles USING ann (content_vector) WITH (distancemeasure = l2, dim = '1536',

CREATE INDEX ON public.articles USING ann (title_vector) WITH (distancemeasure = l2, dim = '1536', pq
'''

# Execute the SQL statements


cursor.execute(create_table_sql)
cursor.execute(create_indexes_sql)

# Commit the changes


connection.commit()

Load data

In this section we are going to load the data prepared previous to this session, so you don't
have to recompute the embeddings of Wikipedia articles with your own credits.

import io

# Path to your local CSV file


csv_file_path = '../../data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv'
# Define a generator function to process the file line by line
def process_file(file_path):
with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
for line in file:
# Replace '[' with '{' and ']' with '}'
modified_line = line.replace('[', '{').replace(']', '}')
yield modified_line

# Create a StringIO object to store the modified lines


modified_lines = io.StringIO(''.join(list(process_file(csv_file_path))))

# Create the COPY command for the copy_expert method


copy_command = '''
COPY public.articles (id, url, title, content, title_vector, content_vector, vector_id)
FROM STDIN WITH (FORMAT CSV, HEADER true, DELIMITER ',');
'''

# Execute the COPY command using the copy_expert method


cursor.copy_expert(copy_command, modified_lines)

# Commit the changes


connection.commit()

# Check the collection size to make sure all the points have been stored
count_sql = """select count(*) from public.articles;"""
cursor.execute(count_sql)
result = cursor.fetchone()
print(f"Count:{result[0]}")

Count:25000

Search data

Once the data is put into Qdrant we will start querying the collection for the closest vectors. We
may provide an additional parameter vector_name to switch from title to content based search.
Since the precomputed embeddings were created with text-embedding-3-small OpenAI model
we also have to use it during search.

def query_analyticdb(query, collection_name, vector_name="title_vector", top_k=20):

# Creates embedding vector from user query


embedded_query = openai.Embedding.create(
input=query,
model="text-embedding-3-small",
)["data"][0]["embedding"]

# Convert the embedded_query to PostgreSQL compatible format


embedded_query_pg = "{" + ",".join(map(str, embedded_query)) + "}"

# Create SQL query


query_sql = f"""
SELECT id, url, title, l2_distance({vector_name},'{embedded_query_pg}'::real[]) AS similarity
FROM {collection_name}
ORDER BY {vector_name} <-> '{embedded_query_pg}'::real[]
LIMIT {top_k};
"""
# Execute the query
cursor.execute(query_sql)
results = cursor.fetchall()

return results

import openai

query_results = query_analyticdb("modern art in Europe", "Articles")

Redis

What is Redis?

Most developers from a web services background are probably familiar with Redis. At it's core,
Redis is an open-source key-value store that can be used as a cache, message broker, and
database. Developers choice Redis because it is fast, has a large ecosystem of client libraries,
and has been deployed by major enterprises for years.

In addition to the traditional uses of Redis. Redis also provides Redis Modules which are a way
to extend Redis with new capabilities, commands and data types. Example modules include
RedisJSON, RedisTimeSeries, RedisBloom and RediSearch.

Deployment options
There are a number of ways to deploy Redis. For local development, the quickest method is to
use the Redis Stack docker container which we will use here. Redis Stack contains a number of
Redis modules that can be used together to create a fast, multi-model data store and query
engine.

For production use cases, The easiest way to get started is to use the Redis Cloud service. Redis
Cloud is a fully managed Redis service. You can also deploy Redis on your own infrastructure
using Redis Enterprise. Redis Enterprise is a fully managed Redis service that can be deployed in
kubernetes, on-premises or in the cloud.

Additionally, every major cloud provider (AWS Marketplace, Google Marketplace, or Azure
Marketplace) offers Redis Enterprise in a marketplace offering.

What is RediSearch?
RediSearch is a Redis module that provides querying, secondary indexing, full-text search and
vector search for Redis. To use RediSearch, you first declare indexes on your Redis data. You can
then use the RediSearch clients to query that data. For more information on the feature set of
RediSearch, see the RediSearch documentation.

Features

RediSearch uses compressed, inverted indexes for fast indexing with a low memory footprint.
RediSearch indexes enhance Redis by providing exact-phrase matching, fuzzy search, and
numeric filtering, among many other features. Such as:

Full-Text indexing of multiple fields in Redis hashes

Incremental indexing without performance loss

Vector similarity search

Document ranking (using tf-idf, with optional user-provided weights)

Field weighting

Complex boolean queries with AND, OR, and NOT operators

Prefix matching, fuzzy matching, and exact-phrase queries

Support for double-metaphone phonetic matching

Auto-complete suggestions (with fuzzy prefix suggestions)

Stemming-based query expansion in many languages (using Snowball)

Support for Chinese-language tokenization and querying (using Friso)

Numeric filters and ranges

Geospatial searches using Redis geospatial indexing

A powerful aggregations engine

Supports for all utf-8 encoded text

Retrieve full documents, selected fields, or only the document IDs

Sorting results (for example, by creation date)

JSON support through RedisJSON


Clients

Given the large ecosystem around Redis, there are most likely client libraries in the language
you need. You can use any standard Redis client library to run RediSearch commands, but it's
easiest to use a library that wraps the RediSearch API. Below are a few examples, but you can
find more client libraries here.

Deployment Options
There are many ways to deploy Redis with RediSearch. The easiest way to get started is to use
Docker, but there are are many potential options for deployment such as

Redis Cloud

Cloud marketplaces: AWS Marketplace, Google Marketplace, or Azure Marketplace

On-premise: Redis Enterprise Software

Kubernetes: Redis Enterprise Software on Kubernetes

Docker (RediSearch)

Docker (Redis Stack)


Cluster support

RediSearch has a distributed cluster version that scales to billions of documents across
hundreds of servers. At the moment, distributed RediSearch is available as part of Redis
Enterprise Cloud and Redis Enterprise Software.

See RediSearch on Redis Enterprise for more information.

Fine tuning for function-calling


James Hills, Ilan Bigio
Open in Github
Nov 6, 2023

This notebook covers how to fine-tune to increase function calling accuracy and reliability.
You can find more information on function calling here, and on fine tuning here

For context, from the function calling notebook above:

“ tools is an optional parameter in the Chat Completion API which can be used to provide
function specifications. The purpose of this is to enable models to generate function
arguments which adhere to the provided specifications. Note that the API will not actually
execute any function calls. It is up to developers to execute function calls using model
outputs.”

Function calling is a very powerful tool when it functions as intended. However, we have seen
that as the number of
functions increases, and the complexity of the task at hand increases, function calling becomes
less accurate (e.g.: more hallucinated invocations, and incorrect invocations).
Before fine tuning for function calling, it's best to begin with:

Improvements to the function definitions. Make them more clear, and more distinct from
one another.

Experiment with prompt engineering: often a more detailed prompt can help the model call
the correct function.

If the steps above fail to improve function calling to a satisfactory level, then you can try fine
tuning for function calling.
Overview

This notebook contains three sections

Assessing baseline function calling performance: Evaluating an out-of-the-box gpt-3.5-


turbo model on our given function (let's assume that for latency + cost reasons we cannot
use gpt-4 for a drone copilot)

Generating synthetic data: Using gpt-4 to create 'golden' set of prompts and function
invocations to use as training data

Fine-tuning: Running the fine tuning job, and evaluating the fine-tuned model

Note: This notebook provides an example of how to create synthetic training data for fine tuning
for function calling given just a list of functions. While real-world production test evals are
preferable, this method produces strong results and can be used in conjuction with real-world
training data.

Getting baseline function calling


performance
# !pip install tenacity
# !pip install openai
# !pip install typing

import numpy as np
import json
import os
from openai import OpenAI
import itertools
from tenacity import retry, wait_random_exponential, stop_after_attempt
from typing import Any, Dict, List, Generator
import ast

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

Utilities
Let's define utility functions for making calls to the Chat Completions API, one to get the
completion and one to get the function call.

def get_chat_completion(
messages: list[dict[str, str]],
model: str = "gpt-3.5-turbo",
max_tokens=500,
temperature=1.0,
stop=None,
tools=None,
) -> str:
params = {
'model': model,
'messages': messages,
'max_tokens': max_tokens,
'temperature': temperature,
'stop': stop,
'tools': tools,
}

completion = client.chat.completions.create(**params)
return completion.choices[0].message

Baseline testing

Let's build an intelligent drone co-pilot. We want to be able to give the co-pilot commands, and
have it either call the function for that command, or deny that request if the command is
unfeasible. We can first define a system prompt for the copilot.

DRONE_SYSTEM_PROMPT = """You are an intelligent AI that controls a drone. Given a command or request
call one of your functions to complete the request. If the request cannot be completed by your availa
If the request is ambiguous or unclear, reject the request."""

Now let's define functions for all of the actions the copilot can take.

]

For starters, let's see how function calling performs with some straight forward feasible
prompts, and then one obviously impossible request which call the 'reject_request' function.

straightforward_prompts = ['Land the drone at the home base',


'Take off the drone to 50 meters',
'change speed to 15 kilometers per hour',
'turn into an elephant!']

for prompt in straightforward_prompts:


messages = []
messages.append({"role": "system", "content": DRONE_SYSTEM_PROMPT})
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": prompt})
completion = get_chat_completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo",messages=messages,tools=function_list)
print(prompt)
print(completion.tool_calls[0].function,'\n')

Land the drone at the home base


Function(arguments='{\n "location": "home_base"\n}', name='land_drone')

Take off the drone to 50 meters


Function(arguments='{\n "altitude": 50\n}', name='takeoff_drone')

change speed to 15 kilometers per hour


Function(arguments='{\n "speed": 15\n}', name='set_drone_speed')

turn into an elephant!


Function(arguments='{}', name='reject_request')

Nice! The model performs quite well with these requests. Now let's try some more difficult
requests: requests that are almost feasible and are drone-related, but that the drone cannot
actually do, and the pilot should reject.

challenging_prompts = ['Play pre-recorded audio message',


'Initiate live-streaming on social media',
'Scan environment for heat signatures',
'Enable stealth mode',
"Change drone's paint job color"]

for prompt in challenging_prompts:


messages = []
messages.append({"role": "system", "content": DRONE_SYSTEM_PROMPT})
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": prompt})
completion = get_chat_completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo",messages=messages,tools=function_list)
print(prompt)
try:
print(completion.tool_calls[0].function,'\n')
print('\n')
except:
print(completion.tool_calls[0].content,'\n')
print('\n')

Play pre-recorded audio message


Function(arguments='{}', name='reject_request')

Initiate live-streaming on social media


Function(arguments='{\n"mode": "video",\n"duration": 0\n}', name='control_camera')

Scan environment for heat signatures


Function(arguments='{ "mode": "photo" }', name='control_camera')

Enable stealth mode


Function(arguments='{\n "mode": "off"\n}', name='set_drone_lighting')

Change drone's paint job color


Function(arguments='{\n "pattern": "solid",\n "color": "blue"\n}', name='configure_led_displa
Now we run into some problems. The model here should reject all of these requests, as they are
impossible given the functions, however instead the model calls functions that are somewhat
related to the request, but incorrect. The model sets the camera to video when asked to begin
'live streaming to social media', and changes the LED's to blue when asked to 'change the paint
color'... In this simple case, more prompt engineering may resolve some of these issues, but for
the purpose of this example we will demonstrate how fine tuning can be used to improve
performance. Additionally, while this case is relatively straightforward, as the number of and
complexity of the functions increases, fine tuning becomes more and more impactful.

Generating synthetic data


Helper functions

We want to generate every invocation of every function, so that we have full coverage of all
potential invocations to create synthetic data for. Then, we will use gpt-4 to come up with
prompts that would call each invocation, and we will use that prompt - function invocation pair
as training data.

Generating every invocation for a function with fixed enums is more simple, but for a function
such as control_gimbal we need to set the tilt and pan integer values, so to generate
those synthetic invocations we will first set a placeholder, and then later use gpt-4 to come up
with reasonable values.

placeholder_int = 'fill_in_int'
placeholder_string = 'fill_in_string'

The functions below take in all the functions from the function list, and look at all the potential
invocations of those functions given each function's parameters. The functions also account for
required parameters, so that all the invocations are actually feasible.

enum_values = field_info['items']['enum']
all_combinations = [list(combo) for i in range(1, len(enum_values) + 1) for combo in itertool
return all_combinations
return []

Let's generate every invocation for every function first

In the below snippet, we generate the invocation of each function except for the
rejection_request function.
To perform effective fine-tuning we need correctly labeled data. We could manually come up
with examples and label the data,
or we can generate synthetic data with the help of gpt-4 Empirically, gpt-4 needs a bit more
help to get good realistic examples of prompts that would generate the reject_request function,
so we'll do that next...

input_objects = []
all_but_reject = [f for f in function_list if f.get('name') != 'reject_request']

for function in all_but_reject:


func_name = function['function']['name']
params = function['function']['parameters']

else:
input_object = {
"name": func_name,
"arguments": arguments
}

input_objects.append(input_object)

Now that we have all the invocations, let's use gpt-4 to generate prompts that would result in
those invocations

def create_commands(invocation_list):
example_list = []
for i, invocation in enumerate(invocation_list):
print(f'\033[34m{np.round(100*i/len(invocation_list),1)}% complete\033[0m')

Now let's format the training examples properly. For more documentation on the proper
training data formatting for fine tuning for function calling, see here:
https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning/fine-tuning-examples

training_examples = []
for prompt in training_examples_unformatted:
#adjust formatting for training data specs
try:
prompt["Input"] = ast.literal_eval(prompt["Input"])

prompt['Input']['arguments']=json.dumps(prompt['Input']['arguments'])

},{"role":"user","content": p},
{"role":"assistant","function_call": prompt['Input']}],
"functions":[func['function'] for func in function_list]})

Now, back to the rejection function. Let's generate some prompts that are nearly possible, but
should result in the decline_request function being called. To do so, we queried gpt-4 asking
for requests that are related to, but not quite possible with, the given list of functions.

reject_list = ['Translate broadcast message to another language',


'Automatically capture photos when face is detected',
'Detect nearby drones',
'Measure wind resistance',
'Capture slow motion video',
"Adjust drone's altitude to ground level changes",
'Display custom message on LED display',
"Sync drone's time with smartphone",
'Alert when drone travels out of designated area',
'Detect moisture levels',
'Automatically follow GPS tagged object',
'Toggle night vision mode',
'Maintain current altitude when battery is low',
'Decide best landing spot using AI',
"Program drone's route based on wind direction"]

reject_training_list = []
for prompt in reject_list:
#Adjust formatting
reject_training_list.append({"messages": [{"role":"system","content":DRONE_SYSTEM_PROMPT
},{"role":"user","content": prompt},
{"role":"assistant","function_call": {"name": "reject_request","arguments": "
"functions":[func['function'] for func in function_list]})

Now combine all the training examples together

training_list_total = training_examples+reject_training_list

training_file = 'data/drone_training.jsonl'
with open(training_file, 'w') as f:
for item in training_list_total:
json_str = json.dumps(item)
f.write(f'{json_str}\n')

Fine tuning
Finally, we can kick off the fine-tuning job

if __name__ == "__main__":
file = client.files.create(
file=open(training_file, "rb"),
purpose="fine-tune",
)
file_id = file.id
print(file_id)
ft = client.fine_tuning.jobs.create(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
training_file=file_id,
)

file-CGMggG5iZYKTocwgCp7kV7C6

Evaluations
Great! We trained a fine-tuned model for function calling. Let's see how it does on our
evaluation set for prompts that the drone assistant should automatically reject.
for eval_question in challenging_prompts:
messages = []
messages.append({"role": "system", "content": DRONE_SYSTEM_PROMPT})
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": eval_question})
completion = get_chat_completion(model="ft:gpt-3.5-turbo-0613:openai-internal::8DloQKS2",messages=m
print(eval_question)
print(completion.tool_calls[0].function.name,'\n')

Play pre-recorded audio message


reject_request

Initiate live-streaming on social media


reject_request

Scan environment for heat signatures


reject_request

Enable stealth mode


reject_request

Change drone's paint job color


reject_request

Great! While the original model only rejected 1 of the 5 requests, the fine tuned model rejected
all 5 requests.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You are now ready to fine tune your model for function calling. We can't wait
to see what you build.
Classification using embeddings
Ted Sanders, Logan Kilpatrick
Open in Github
Jul 11, 2022

There are many ways to classify text. This notebook shares an example of text classification
using embeddings. For many text classification tasks, we've seen fine-tuned models do better
than embeddings. See an example of fine-tuned models for classification in Fine-
Cookbook About API Docs Contribute
tuned_classification.ipynb. We also recommend having more examples than embedding
dimensions, which we don't quite achieve here.

In this text classification task, we predict the score of a food review (1 to 5) based on the
embedding of the review's text. We split the dataset into a training and a testing set for all the
following tasks, so we can realistically evaluate performance on unseen data. The dataset is
created in the Get_embeddings_from_dataset Notebook.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from ast import literal_eval

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier


from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import classification_report, accuracy_score

datafile_path = "data/fine_food_reviews_with_embeddings_1k.csv"

df = pd.read_csv(datafile_path)
df["embedding"] = df.embedding.apply(literal_eval).apply(np.array) # convert string to array

# split data into train and test


X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(
list(df.embedding.values), df.Score, test_size=0.2, random_state=42
)

# train random forest classifier


clf = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100)
clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
preds = clf.predict(X_test)
probas = clf.predict_proba(X_test)

report = classification_report(y_test, preds)


print(report)

precision recall f1-score support

1 0.90 0.45 0.60 20


2 1.00 0.38 0.55 8
3 1.00 0.18 0.31 11
4 0.88 0.26 0.40 27
5 0.76 1.00 0.86 134

accuracy 0.78 200


macro avg 0.91 0.45 0.54 200
weighted avg 0.81 0.78 0.73 200

We can see that the model has learnt to distinguish between the categories decently. 5-star
reviews show the best performance overall, and this is not too surprising, since they are the
most common in the dataset.

from utils.embeddings_utils import plot_multiclass_precision_recall

plot_multiclass_precision_recall(probas, y_test, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], clf)

RandomForestClassifier() - Average precision score over all classes: 0.90


Unsurprisingly 5-star and 1-star reviews seem to be easier to predict. Perhaps with more data,
the nuances between 2-4 stars could be better predicted, but there's also probably more
subjectivity in how people use the inbetween scores.

Question Answering with Langchain, Tair and


OpenAI
dongqqcom
Open in Github
Sep 10, 2023

This notebook presents how to implement a Question Answering system with Langchain, Tair as
a knowledge based and OpenAI embeddings. If you are not familiar with Tair, it’s better to check
out the Getting_started_with_Tair_and_OpenAI.ipynb notebook.

This notebook presents an end-to-end process of:

Calculating the embeddings with OpenAI API.

Storing the embeddings in an Tair instance to build a knowledge base.

Converting raw text query to an embedding with OpenAI API.

Using Tair to perform the nearest neighbour search in the created collection to find some
context.

Asking LLM to find the answer in a given context.

All the steps will be simplified to calling some corresponding Langchain methods.

Prerequisites

For the purposes of this exercise we need to prepare a couple of things: Tair cloud instance.
Langchain as a framework. An OpenAI API key.

Install requirements

This notebook requires the following Python packages: openai , tiktoken , langchain and
tair .
openai provides convenient access to the OpenAI API.

tiktoken is a fast BPE tokeniser for use with OpenAI's models.

langchain helps us to build applications with LLM more easily.

tair library is used to interact with the tair vector database.

! pip install openai tiktoken langchain tair

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of the documents and queries.

If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
[https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys ).

Once you get your key, please add it by getpass.


import getpass

openai_api_key = getpass.getpass("Input your OpenAI API key:")

Input your OpenAI API key:········

Prepare your Tair URL

To build the Tair connection, you need to have TAIR_URL .

# The format of url: redis://[[username]:[password]]@localhost:6379/0


TAIR_URL = getpass.getpass("Input your tair url:")

Load data

In this section we are going to load the data containing some natural questions and answers to
them. All the data will be used to create a Langchain application with Tair being the knowledge
base.

Chain definition

Langchain is already integrated with Tair and performs all the indexing for given list of
documents. In our case we are going to store the set of answers we have.

from langchain.vectorstores import Tair


from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain import VectorDBQA, OpenAI

embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings(openai_api_key=openai_api_key)
doc_store = Tair.from_texts(
texts=answers, embedding=embeddings, tair_url=TAIR_URL,
)

At this stage all the possible answers are already stored in Tair, so we can define the whole QA
chain.

llm = OpenAI(openai_api_key=openai_api_key)
qa = VectorDBQA.from_chain_type(
llm=llm,
chain_type="stuff",
vectorstore=doc_store,
return_source_documents=False,
)

/root/anaconda3/envs/notebook/lib/python3.10/site-packages/langchain/chains/retrieval_qa/base.p
warnings.warn(

Search data

Once the data is put into Tair we can start asking some questions. A question will be
automatically vectorized by OpenAI model, and the created vector will be used to find some
possibly matching answers in Tair. Once retrieved, the most similar answers will be incorporated
into the prompt sent to OpenAI Large Language Model.

import random

random.seed(52)
selected_questions = random.choices(questions, k=5)

import time
for question in selected_questions:
print(">", question)
print(qa.run(question), end="\n\n")
# wait 20seconds because of the rate limit
time.sleep(20)

Custom prompt templates


The stuff chain type in Langchain uses a specific prompt with question and context
documents incorporated. This is what the default prompt looks like:

Use the following pieces of context to answer the question at the end. If you don't know the answer
{context}
Question: {question}
Helpful Answer:

We can, however, provide our prompt template and change the behaviour of the OpenAI LLM,
while still using the stuff chain type. It is important to keep {context} and {question} as
placeholders.

Experimenting with custom prompts

We can try using a different prompt template, so the model:

1. Responds with a single-sentence answer if it knows it.

2. Suggests a random song title if it doesn't know the answer to our question.

from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate


custom_prompt = """
Use the following pieces of context to answer the question at the end. Please provide
a short single-sentence summary answer only. If you don't know the answer or if it's
not present in given context, don't try to make up an answer, but suggest me a random
unrelated song title I could listen to.

Question: {question}
Helpful Answer:

custom_prompt_template = PromptTemplate(
template=custom_prompt, input_variables=["context", "question"]
)

custom_qa = VectorDBQA.from_chain_type(

Whisper prompting guide


prestontuggle
Open in Github
Jun 26, 2023

OpenAI's audio transcription API has an optional parameter called prompt .

The prompt is intended to help stitch together multiple audio segments. By submitting the prior
segment's transcript via the prompt, the Whisper model can use that context to better
understand the speech and maintain a consistent writing style.

However, prompts do not need to be genuine transcripts from prior audio segments. Fictitious
prompts can be submitted to steer the model to use particular spellings or styles.

This notebook shares two techniques for using fictitious prompts to steer the model outputs:

Transcript generation: GPT can convert instructions into fictitious transcripts for Whisper to
emulate.

Spelling guide: A spelling guide can tell the model how to spell names of people, products,
companies, etc.

These techniques are not especially reliable, but can be useful in some situations.

Comparison with GPT prompting

Prompting Whisper is not the same as prompting GPT. For example, if you submit an attempted
instruction like "Format lists in Markdown format", the model will not comply, as it follows the
style of the prompt, rather than any instructions contained within.

In addition, the prompt is limited to only 224 tokens. If the prompt is longer than 224 tokens,
only the final 224 tokens of the prompt will be considered; all prior tokens will be silently
ignored. The tokenizer used is the multilingual Whisper tokenizer.
To get good results, craft examples that portray your desired style.

Setup

To get started, let's:

Import the OpenAI Python library (if you don't have it, you'll need to install it with pip
install openai )

Download a few example audio files

# imports
from openai import OpenAI # for making OpenAI API calls
import urllib # for downloading example audio files
import os

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

# set download paths


up_first_remote_filepath = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/upfirstpodcastchunkthree.wav"
bbq_plans_remote_filepath = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/bbq_plans.wav"
product_names_remote_filepath = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/product_names.wav"

# set local save locations


up_first_filepath = "data/upfirstpodcastchunkthree.wav"
bbq_plans_filepath = "data/bbq_plans.wav"
product_names_filepath = "data/product_names.wav"

# download example audio files and save locally


urllib.request.urlretrieve(up_first_remote_filepath, up_first_filepath)
urllib.request.urlretrieve(bbq_plans_remote_filepath, bbq_plans_filepath)
urllib.request.urlretrieve(product_names_remote_filepath, product_names_filepath)

('data/product_names.wav', <http.client.HTTPMessage at 0x1105ac490>)

As a baseline, we'll transcribe an NPR podcast segment

Our audio file for this example will be a segment of the NPR podcast, Up First.

Let's get our baseline transcription, then introduce prompts.


# define a wrapper function for seeing how prompts affect transcriptions
def transcribe(audio_filepath, prompt: str) -> str:
"""Given a prompt, transcribe the audio file."""
transcript = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
file=open(audio_filepath, "rb"),
model="whisper-1",
prompt=prompt,
)
return transcript.text

# baseline transcription with no prompt


transcribe(up_first_filepath, prompt="")

"I stick contacts in my eyes. Do you really? Yeah. That works okay? You don't have to, like, ju

Transcripts follow the style of the prompt

In the unprompted transcript, 'President Biden' is capitalized. However, if we pass in a fictitious


prompt of 'president biden' in lowercase, Whisper matches the style and generates a transcript
in all lowercase.

# lowercase prompt
transcribe(up_first_filepath, prompt="president biden")

"I stick contacts in my eyes. Do you really? Yeah. That works okay? You don't have to, like, ju

Be aware that when prompts are short, Whisper may be less reliable at following their style.

# short prompts are less reliable


transcribe(up_first_filepath, prompt="president biden.")

"I stick contacts in my eyes. Do you really? Yeah. That works okay? You don't have to, like, ju

Long prompts may be more reliable at steering Whisper.


# long prompts are more reliable
transcribe(up_first_filepath, prompt="i have some advice for you. multiple sentences help establish a

"i stick contacts in my eyes. do you really? yeah. that works okay? you don't have to, like, ju

Whisper is also less likely to follow rare or odd styles.

# rare styles are less reliable


transcribe(up_first_filepath, prompt="""Hi there and welcome to the show.
###
Today we are quite excited.
###
Let's jump right in.
###""")

"I stick contacts in my eyes. Do you really? Yeah. That works okay. You don't have to like, it'

Pass names in the prompt to prevent misspellings

Whisper may incorrectly transcribe uncommon proper nouns such as names of products,
companies, or people.

We'll illustrate with an example audio file full of product names.

# baseline transcription with no prompt


transcribe(product_names_filepath, prompt="")

'Welcome to Quirk, Quid, Quill, Inc., where finance meets innovation. Explore diverse offerings

To get Whisper to use our preferred spellings, let's pass the product and company names in the
prompt, as a glossary for Whisper to follow.
# adding the correct spelling of the product name helps
transcribe(product_names_filepath, prompt="QuirkQuid Quill Inc, P3-Quattro, O3-Omni, B3-BondX, E3-Equ

'Welcome to QuirkQuid Quill Inc, where finance meets innovation. Explore diverse offerings, fro

Now, let's switch to another audio recording authored specifically for this demonstration, on the
topic of a odd barbecue.

To begin, we'll establish our baseline transcript using Whisper.

# baseline transcript with no prompt


transcribe(bbq_plans_filepath, prompt="")

"Hello, my name is Preston Tuggle. I'm based in New York City. This weekend I have really excit

While Whisper's transcription was accurate, it had to guess at various spellings. For example, it
assumed the friends' names were spelled Amy and Sean rather than Aimee and Shawn. Let's see
if we can steer the spelling with a prompt.

# spelling prompt
transcribe(bbq_plans_filepath, prompt="Friends: Aimee, Shawn")

"Hello, my name is Preston Tuggle. I'm based in New York City. This weekend I have really excit

Success!

Let's try the same with more ambiguously spelled words.

# longer spelling prompt


transcribe(bbq_plans_filepath, prompt="Glossary: Aimee, Shawn, BBQ, Whisky, Doughnuts, Omelet")
"Hello, my name is Preston Tuggle. I'm based in New York City. This weekend I have really excit

# more natural, sentence-style prompt


transcribe(bbq_plans_filepath, prompt=""""Aimee and Shawn ate whisky, doughnuts, omelets at a BBQ."""

"Hello, my name is Preston Tuggle. I'm based in New York City. This weekend I have really excit

Fictitious prompts can be generated by GPT

One potential tool to generate fictitious prompts is GPT. We can give GPT instructions and use it
to generate long fictitious transcripts with which to prompt Whisper.

# define a function for GPT to generate fictitious prompts


def fictitious_prompt_from_instruction(instruction: str) -> str:
"""Given an instruction, generate a fictitious prompt."""
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo-0613",
temperature=0,
messages=[
{
"role": "system",
"content": "You are a transcript generator. Your task is to create one long paragraph
}, # we pick an example topic (friends talking about a vacation) so that GPT does not re
{"role": "user", "content": instruction},
],
)
fictitious_prompt = response.choices[0].message.content
return fictitious_prompt

# ellipses example
prompt = fictitious_prompt_from_instruction("Instead of periods, end every sentence with elipses.")
print(prompt)

Oh, do you remember that amazing vacation we took to Maine?... The beautiful coastal towns, the
transcribe(up_first_filepath, prompt=prompt)

"I stick contacts in my eyes. Do you really? Yeah. That works okay? You don't have to, like, ju

Whisper prompts are best for specifying otherwise ambiguous styles. The prompt will not
override the model's comprehension of the audio. For example, if the speakers are not speaking
in a deep Southern accent, a prompt will not cause the transcript to do so.

# southern accent example


prompt = fictitious_prompt_from_instruction("Write in a deep, heavy, Southern accent.")
print(prompt)
transcribe(up_first_filepath, prompt=prompt)

Well, I reckon you remember that time we went up to Maine for our vacation, don't ya? Boy, oh b

Retrieval Augmented Generative Question


Answering with Pinecone
James Briggs
Open in Github
Feb 6, 2023

Fixing LLMs that Hallucinate

In this notebook we will learn how to query relevant contexts to our queries from Pinecone, and
pass these to a generative OpenAI model to generate an answer backed by real data sources.

A common problem with using GPT-3 to factually answer questions is that GPT-3 can
sometimes make things up. The GPT models have a broad range of general knowledge, but this
does not necessarily apply to more specific information. For that we use the Pinecone vector
database as our "external knowledge base" — like long-term memory for GPT-3.

Required installs for this notebook are:

!pip install -qU openai pinecone-client datasets

import openai
# get API key from top-right dropdown on OpenAI website
openai.api_key = "OPENAI_API_KEY"

For many questions state-of-the-art (SOTA) LLMs are more than capable of answering correctly.

query = "who was the 12th person on the moon and when did they land?"

# now query `gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct` WITHOUT context


res = openai.Completion.create(
engine='gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct',
prompt=query,
temperature=0,
max_tokens=400,
top_p=1,
frequency_penalty=0,
presence_penalty=0,
stop=None
)

res['choices'][0]['text'].strip()

'The 12th person on the moon was Harrison Schmitt, and he landed on December 11, 1972.'

However, that isn't always the case. First let's first rewrite the above into a simple function so
we're not rewriting this every time.

def complete(prompt):
res = openai.Completion.create(
engine='gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct',
prompt=prompt,
temperature=0,
max_tokens=400,
top_p=1,
frequency_penalty=0,
presence_penalty=0,
stop=None
)
return res['choices'][0]['text'].strip()

Now let's ask a more specific question about training a type of transformer model called a
sentence transformer. The ideal answer we'd be looking for is "Multiple Negatives Ranking (MNR)
loss".
Don't worry if this is a new term to you, it isn't required to understand what we're doing or
demoing here.

query = (
"Which training method should I use for sentence transformers when " +
"I only have pairs of related sentences?"
)

complete(query)

'If you only have pairs of related sentences, then the best training method to use for sentence

One of the common answers we get to this is:

The best training method to use for fine-tuning a pre-trained model with sentence transformers is t

This answer seems pretty convincing right? Yet, it's wrong. MLM is typically used in the
pretraining step of a transformer model but "cannot" be used to fine-tune a sentence-
transformer, and has nothing to do with having "pairs of related sentences".

An alternative answer we receive (and the one we returned above) is about supervised
learning approach being the most suitable. This is completely true, but it's not specific and

doesn't answer the question.

We have two options for enabling our LLM in understanding and correctly answering this
question:

1. We fine-tune the LLM on text data covering the topic mentioned, likely on articles and
papers talking about sentence transformers, semantic search training methods, etc.

2. We use Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), a technique that implements an


information retrieval component to the generation process. Allowing us to retrieve relevant
information and feed this information into the generation model as a secondary source of
information.

We will demonstrate option 2.


Building a Knowledge Base

With option 2 the retrieval of relevant information requires an external "Knowledge Base", a
place where we can store and use to efficiently retrieve information. We can think of this as the
external long-term memory of our LLM.

We will need to retrieve information that is semantically related to our queries, to do this we
need to use "dense vector embeddings". These can be thought of as numerical representations
of the meaning behind our sentences.

To create these dense vectors we use the text-embedding-3-small model.

We have already authenticated our OpenAI connection, to create an embedding we just do:

embed_model = "text-embedding-ada-002"

res = openai.Embedding.create(
input=[
"Sample document text goes here",
"there will be several phrases in each batch"
], engine=embed_model
)

In the response res we will find a JSON-like object containing our new embeddings within the
'data' field.

res.keys()

dict_keys(['object', 'data', 'model', 'usage'])

Inside 'data' we will find two records, one for each of the two sentences we just embedded.
Each vector embedding contains 1536 dimensions (the output dimensionality of the text-
embedding-3-small model.
len(res['data'])

len(res['data'][0]['embedding']), len(res['data'][1]['embedding'])

(1536, 1536)

We will apply this same embedding logic to a dataset containing information relevant to our
query (and many other queries on the topics of ML and AI).

Data Preparation

The dataset we will be using is the jamescalam/youtube-transcriptions from Hugging Face


Datasets. It contains transcribed audio from several ML and tech YouTube channels. We
download it with:

from datasets import load_dataset

data = load_dataset('jamescalam/youtube-transcriptions', split='train')

The dataset contains many small snippets of text data. We will need to merge many snippets
from each video to create more substantial chunks of text that contain more information.

from tqdm.auto import tqdm

new_data = []

window = 20 # number of sentences to combine


stride = 4 # number of sentences to 'stride' over, used to create overlap

Now we need a place to store these embeddings and enable a efficient vector search through
them all. To do that we use Pinecone , we can get a free API key and enter it below where we
will initialize our connection to Pinecone and create a new index.

import pinecone

index_name = 'openai-youtube-transcriptions'

# initialize connection to pinecone (get API key at app.pinecone.io)


pinecone.init(
api_key="PINECONE_API_KEY",
environment="us-east1-gcp" # may be different, check at app.pinecone.io
)

# check if index already exists (it shouldn't if this is first time)


if index_name not in pinecone.list_indexes():
# if does not exist, create index
pinecone.create_index(
index_name,
dimension=len(res['data'][0]['embedding']),
metric='cosine',
metadata_config={'indexed': ['channel_id', 'published']}
)
# connect to index
index = pinecone.Index(index_name)
# view index stats
index.describe_index_stats()

{'dimension': 1536,
'index_fullness': 0.0,
'namespaces': {},
'total_vector_count': 0}

We can see the index is currently empty with a total_vector_count of 0 . We can begin
populating it with OpenAI text-embedding-3-small built embeddings like so:

from tqdm.auto import tqdm


from time import sleep

batch_size = 100 # how many embeddings we create and insert at once

for i in tqdm(range(0, len(new_data), batch_size)):


# find end of batch
i_end = min(len(new_data), i+batch_size)
meta_batch = new_data[i:i_end]
# get ids
ids_batch = [x['id'] for x in meta_batch]
# get texts to encode
texts = [x['text'] for x in meta_batch]
# create embeddings (try-except added to avoid RateLimitError)
done = False
while not done:
try:
res = openai.Embedding.create(input=texts, engine=embed_model)
done = True
except:
sleep(5)
embeds = [record['embedding'] for record in res['data']]
# cleanup metadata
meta_batch = [{
'start': x['start'],
'end': x['end'],
'title': x['title'],
'text': x['text'],
'url': x['url'],
'published': x['published'],
'channel_id': x['channel_id']
} for x in meta_batch]
to_upsert = list(zip(ids_batch, embeds, meta_batch))
# upsert to Pinecone
index.upsert(vectors=to_upsert)

0%| | 0/487 [00:00<?, ?it/s]

Now we search, for this we need to create a query vector xq :

res = openai.Embedding.create(
input=[query],
engine=embed_model
)

# retrieve from Pinecone


xq = res['data'][0]['embedding']

# get relevant contexts (including the questions)


res = index.query(xq, top_k=2, include_metadata=True)

Step 1: Setup the environment


There are 2 pre-requisites for this:

1. MongoDB Atlas cluster: To create a forever free MongoDB Atlas cluster, first, you need to
create a MongoDB Atlas account if you don't already have one. Visit the MongoDB Atlas
website and click on “Register.” Visit the MongoDB Atlas dashboard and set up your
cluster. In order to take advantage of the $vectorSearch operator in an aggregation
pipeline, you need to run MongoDB Atlas 6.0.11 or higher. This tutorial can be built using a
free cluster. When you’re setting up your deployment, you’ll be prompted to set up a
database user and rules for your network connection. Please ensure you save your
username and password somewhere safe and have the correct IP address rules in place so
your cluster can connect properly. If you need more help getting started, check out our
tutorial on MongoDB Atlas.

2. OpenAI API key To create your OpenAI key, you'll need to create an account. Once you
have that, visit the OpenAI platform. Click on your profile icon in the top right of the screen
to get the dropdown menu and select “View API keys”.

import getpass

MONGODB_ATLAS_CLUSTER_URI = getpass.getpass("MongoDB Atlas Cluster URI:")


OPENAI_API_KEY = getpass.getpass("OpenAI API Key:")

MongoDB Atlas Cluster URI:··········


OpenAI API Key:··········

Note: After executing the step above you will be prompted to enter the credentials.
Cookbook About API Docs Contribute
For this tutorial, we will be using the MongoDB sample dataset. Load the sample dataset using
the Atlas UI. We'll be using the “sample_mflix” database, which contains a “movies” collection
where each document contains fields like title, plot, genres, cast, directors, etc.

import openai
import pymongo

client = pymongo.MongoClient(MONGODB_ATLAS_CLUSTER_URI)
db = client.sample_mflix
collection = db.movies
openai.api_key = OPENAI_API_KEY

ATLAS_VECTOR_SEARCH_INDEX_NAME = "default"
EMBEDDING_FIELD_NAME = "embedding_openai_nov19_23"

Step 2: Setup embeddings generation


function
model = "text-embedding-3-small"
def generate_embedding(text: str) -> list[float]:
return openai.embeddings.create(input = [text], model=model).data[0].embedding

Step 3: Create and store embeddings


Each document in the sample dataset sample_mflix.movies corresponds to a movie; we will
execute an operation to create a vector embedding for the data in the "plot" field and store it in
the database. Creating vector embeddings using OpenAI embeddings endpoint is necessary for
performing a similarity search based on intent.

from pymongo import ReplaceOne

# Update the collection with the embeddings


requests = []

for doc in collection.find({'plot':{"$exists": True}}).limit(500):


doc[EMBEDDING_FIELD_NAME] = generate_embedding(doc['plot'])
requests.append(ReplaceOne({'_id': doc['_id']}, doc))

collection.bulk_write(requests)

BulkWriteResult({'writeErrors': [], 'writeConcernErrors': [], 'nInserted': 0, 'nUpserted': 0, '

After executing the above, the documents in "movies" collection will contain an additional field
of "embedding", as defined by the EMBEDDDING_FIELD_NAME variable, apart from already existing
fields like title, plot, genres, cast, directors, etc.
Note: We are restricting this to just 500 documents in the interest of time. If you want to do this
over the entire dataset of 23,000+ documents in our sample_mflix database, it will take a little
while. Alternatively, you can use the sample_mflix.embedded_movies collection which includes
a pre-populated plot_embedding field that contains embeddings created using OpenAI's text-
embedding-3-small embedding model that you can use with the Atlas Search vector search

feature.

Step 4: Create a vector search index


We will create Atlas Vector Search Index on this collection which will allow us to perform the
Approximate KNN search, which powers the semantic search. We will cover 2 ways to create this
index - Atlas UI and using MongoDB python driver.

(Optional) Documentation: Create a Vector Search Index

Now head over to Atlas UI and create an Atlas Vector Search index using the steps descibed
here. The 'dimensions' field with value 1536, corresponds to openAI text-embedding-ada002.

Use the definition given below in the JSON editor on the Atlas UI.

{
"mappings": {
"dynamic": true,
"fields": {
"embedding": {
"dimensions": 1536,
"similarity": "dotProduct",
"type": "knnVector"
}
}
}
}

(Optional) Alternatively, we can use pymongo driver to create these vector search indexes
programatically The python command given in the cell below will create the index (this only
works for the most recent version of the Python Driver for MongoDB and MongoDB server
version 7.0+ Atlas cluster).

collection.create_search_index(
{"definition":
{"mappings": {"dynamic": True, "fields": {
EMBEDDING_FIELD_NAME : {
"dimensions": 1536,
"similarity": "dotProduct",
"type": "knnVector"
}}}},
"name": ATLAS_VECTOR_SEARCH_INDEX_NAME
}
)

'default'

Step 5: Query your data


The results for the query here finds movies which have semantically similar plots to the text
captured in the query string, rather than being based on the keyword search.

(Optional) Documentation: Run Vector Search Queries

def query_results(query, k):


results = collection.aggregate([
{
'$vectorSearch': {
"index": ATLAS_VECTOR_SEARCH_INDEX_NAME,
"path": EMBEDDING_FIELD_NAME,
"queryVector": generate_embedding(query),
"numCandidates": 50,
"limit": 5,
}
}
])
return results

query="imaginary characters from outerspace at war with earthlings"


movies = query_results(query, 5)
for movie in movies:
print(f'Movie Name: {movie["title"]},\nMovie Plot: {movie["plot"]}\n')
Using Pinecone for Embeddings Search
Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Jun 27, 2023

This notebook takes you through a simple flow to download some data, embed it, and then
index and search it using a selection of vector databases. This is a common requirement for
customers who want to store and search our embeddings with their own data in a secure
environment to support production use cases such as chatbots, topic modelling and more.

What is a Vector Database


A vector database is a database made to store, manage and search embedding vectors. The use
of embeddings to encode unstructured data (text, audio, video and more) as vectors for
consumption by machine-learning models has exploded in recent years, due to the increasing
effectiveness of AI in solving use cases involving natural language, image recognition and other
unstructured forms of data. Vector databases have emerged as an effective solution for
enterprises to deliver and scale these use cases.

Why use a Vector Database

Vector databases enable enterprises to take many of the embeddings use cases we've shared in
this repo (question and answering, chatbot and recommendation services, for example), and
make use of them in a secure, scalable environment. Many of our customers make embeddings
solve their problems at small scale but performance and security hold them back from going
into production - we see vector databases as a key component in solving that, and in this guide
we'll walk through the basics of embedding text data, storing it in a vector database and using it
for semantic search.

Demo Flow
The demo flow is:
Setup: Import packages and set any required variables

Load data: Load a dataset and embed it using OpenAI embeddings

Pinecone

Setup: Here we'll set up the Python client for Pinecone. For more details go here
Cookbook About API Docs Contribute
Index Data: We'll create an index with namespaces for titles and content

Search Data: We'll test out both namespaces with search queries to confirm it works

Once you've run through this notebook you should have a basic understanding of how to setup
and use vector databases, and can move on to more complex use cases making use of our
embeddings.

Setup

Import the required libraries and set the embedding model that we'd like to use.

Pinecone

The next option we'll look at is Pinecone, a managed vector database which offers a cloud-
native option.

Before you proceed with this step you'll need to navigate to Pinecone, sign up and then save
your API key as an environment variable titled PINECONE_API_KEY .

For section we will:

Create an index with multiple namespaces for article titles and content

Store our data in the index with separate searchable "namespaces" for article titles and
content

Fire some similarity search queries to verify our setup is working

api_key = os.getenv("PINECONE_API_KEY")
pinecone.init(api_key=api_key)

Create Index

First we will need to create an index, which we'll call wikipedia-articles . Once we have an
index, we can create multiple namespaces, which can make a single index searchable for various
use cases. For more details, consult Pinecone documentation.

If you want to batch insert to your index in parallel to increase insertion speed then there is a
great guide in the Pinecone documentation on batch inserts in parallel.

# Models a simple batch generator that make chunks out of an input DataFrame
class BatchGenerator:

def __init__(self, batch_size: int = 10) -> None:


self.batch_size = batch_size
# Makes chunks out of an input DataFrame
def to_batches(self, df: pd.DataFrame) -> Iterator[pd.DataFrame]:
splits = self.splits_num(df.shape[0])
if splits <= 1:
yield df
else:
for chunk in np.array_split(df, splits):
yield chunk

# Determines how many chunks DataFrame contains


def splits_num(self, elements: int) -> int:
return round(elements / self.batch_size)

__call__ = to_batches

df_batcher = BatchGenerator(300)

# Pick a name for the new index


index_name = 'wikipedia-articles'

# Check whether the index with the same name already exists - if so, delete it
if index_name in pinecone.list_indexes():
pinecone.delete_index(index_name)

# Creates new index


pinecone.create_index(name=index_name, dimension=len(article_df['content_vector'][0]))
index = pinecone.Index(index_name=index_name)

# Confirm our index was created


pinecone.list_indexes()

['podcasts', 'wikipedia-articles']

# Upsert content vectors in content namespace - this can take a few minutes
print("Uploading vectors to content namespace..")
for batch_df in df_batcher(article_df):
index.upsert(vectors=zip(batch_df.vector_id, batch_df.content_vector), namespace='content')

Uploading vectors to content namespace..

# Upsert title vectors in title namespace - this can also take a few minutes
print("Uploading vectors to title namespace..")
for batch_df in df_batcher(article_df):

Uploading vectors to title namespace..

# Check index size for each namespace to confirm all of our docs have loaded

'namespaces': {'content': {'vector_count': 25000},
'title': {'vector_count': 25000}},
'total_vector_count': 50000}

Search data

Now we'll enter some dummy searches and check we get decent results back

# First we'll create dictionaries mapping vector IDs to their outputs so we can retrieve the text for
titles_mapped = dict(zip(article_df.vector_id,article_df.title))
content_mapped = dict(zip(article_df.vector_id,article_df.text))

def query_article(query, namespace, top_k=5):


'''Queries an article using its title in the specified
namespace and prints results.'''

# Create vector embeddings based on the title column


embedded_query = openai.Embedding.create(
input=query,
model=EMBEDDING_MODEL,
)["data"][0]['embedding']

# Query namespace passed as parameter using title vector


query_result = index.query(embedded_query,
namespace=namespace,
top_k=top_k)

# Print query results


print(f'\nMost similar results to {query} in "{namespace}" namespace:\n')
if not query_result.matches:
print('no query result')

matches = query_result.matches
ids = [res.id for res in matches]
scores = [res.score for res in matches]
df = pd.DataFrame({'id':ids,

Semantic search using Supabase Vector


Greg Richardson
Open in Github
Dec 3, 2023

The purpose of this guide is to demonstrate how to store OpenAI embeddings in Supabase
Vector (Postgres + pgvector) for the purposes of semantic search.

Supabase is an open-source Firebase alternative built on top of Postgres, a production-grade


SQL database. Since Supabase Vector is built on pgvector, you can store your embeddings
within the same database that holds the rest of your application data. When combined with
pgvector's indexing algorithms, vector search remains fast at large scales.

Supabase adds an ecosystem of services and tools to make app development as quick as
possible (such as an auto-generated REST API). We'll use these services to store and query
embeddings within Postgres.

This guide covers:

1. Setting up your database

2. Creating a SQL table that can store vector data

3. Generating OpenAI embeddings using OpenAI's JavaScript client

4. Storing the embeddings in your SQL table using the Supabase JavaScript client

5. Performing semantic search over the embeddings using a Postgres function and the
Supabase JavaScript client

Setup database

First head over to https://database.new to provision your Supabase database. This will create a
Postgres database on the Supabase cloud platform. Alternatively, you can follow the local
development options if you prefer to run your database locally using Docker.

In the studio, jump to the SQL editor and execute the following SQL to enable pgvector:

-- Enable the pgvector extension


create extension if not exists vector;

“In a production application, the best practice is to use database migrations so that all SQL
operations are managed within source control. To keep things simple in this guide, we'll
execute queries directly in the SQL Editor. If you are building a production app, feel free to
move these into a database migration.”

Create a vector table

Next we'll create a table to store documents and embeddings. In the SQL Editor, run:

create table documents (


id bigint primary key generated always as identity,
content text not null,
embedding vector (1536) not null
);

Since Supabase is built on Postgres, we're just using regular SQL here. You can modify this table
however you like to better fit your application. If you have existing database tables, you can
simply add a new vector column to the appropriate table.

The important piece to understand is the vector data type, which is a new data type that
became available when we enabled the pgvector extension earlier. The size of the vector (1536
here) represents the number of dimensions in the embedding. Since we're using OpenAI's
text-embedding-3-small model in this example, we set the vector size to 1536.

Let's go ahead and create a vector index on this table so that future queries remain performant
as the table grows:

create index on documents using hnsw (embedding vector_ip_ops);


This index uses the HNSW algorithm to index vectors stored in the embedding column, and
specifically when using the inner product operator ( <#> ). We'll explain more about this
operator later when we implement our match function.

Let's also follow security best practices by enabling row level security on the table:

alter table documents enable row level security;

This will prevent unauthorized access to this table through the auto-generated REST API (more
on this shortly).

Generate OpenAI embeddings

This guide uses JavaScript to generate embeddings, but you can easily modify it to use any
language supported by OpenAI.

If you are using JavaScript, feel free to use whichever server-side JavaScript runtime that you
prefer (Node.js, Deno, Supabase Edge Functions).

If you're using Node.js, first install openai as a dependency:

npm install openai

then import it:

import OpenAI from "openai";

If you're using Deno or Supabase Edge Functions, you can import openai directly from a URL:

import OpenAI from "https://esm.sh/openai@4";

“In this example we import from https://esm.sh which is a CDN that automatically fetches
the respective NPM module for you and serves it over HTTP.”
Next we'll generate an OpenAI embedding using text-embedding-3-small :

const openai = new OpenAI();

const input = "The cat chases the mouse";

const result = await openai.embeddings.create({


input,
model: "text-embedding-3-small",
});

const [{ embedding }] = result.data;

Remember that you will need an OpenAI API key to interact with the OpenAI API. You can pass
this as an environment variable called OPENAI_API_KEY , or manually set it when you instantiate
your OpenAI client:

const openai = new OpenAI({


apiKey: "<openai-api-key>",
});

Remember: Never hard-code API keys in your code. Best practice is to either store it in a .env file
and load it using a library like dotenv or load it from an external key management system.

Store embeddings in database

Supabase comes with an auto-generated REST API that dynamically builds REST endpoints for
each of your tables. This means you don't need to establish a direct Postgres connection to your
database - instead you can interact with it simply using by the REST API. This is especially useful
in serverless environments that run short-lived processes where re-establishing a database
connection every time can be expensive.

Supabase comes with a number of client libraries to simplify interaction with the REST API. In
this guide we'll use the JavaScript client library, but feel free to adjust this to your preferred
language.
If you're using Node.js, install @supabase/supabase-js as a dependency:

npm install @supabase/supabase-js

then import it:

import { createClient } from "@supabase/supabase-js";

If you're using Deno or Supabase Edge Functions, you can import @supabase/supabase-js
directly from a URL:

import { createClient } from "https://esm.sh/@supabase/supabase-js@2";

Next we'll instantiate our Supabase client and configure it so that it points to your Supabase
project. In this guide we'll store a reference to your Supabase URL and key in a .env file, but
feel free to modify this based on how your application handles configuration.

If you are using Node.js or Deno, add your Supabase URL and service role key to a .env file. If
you are using the cloud platform, you can find these from your Supabase dashboard settings
page. If you're running Supabase locally, you can find these by running npx supabase status in
a terminal.

.env

SUPABASE_URL=<supabase-url>
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=<supabase-service-role-key>

If you are using Supabase Edge Functions, these environment variables are automatically
injected into your function for you so you can skip the above step.

Next we'll pull these environment variables into our app.

In Node.js, install the dotenv dependency:


npm install dotenv

And retrieve the environment variables from process.env :

import { config } from "dotenv";

// Load .env file


config();

const supabaseUrl = process.env["SUPABASE_URL"];


const supabaseServiceRoleKey = process.env["SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY"];

In Deno, load the .env file using the dotenv standard library:

import { load } from "https://deno.land/[email protected]/dotenv/mod.ts";

// Load .env file


const env = await load();

const supabaseUrl = env["SUPABASE_URL"];


const supabaseServiceRoleKey = env["SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY"];

In Supabase Edge Functions, simply load the injected environment variables directly:

const supabaseUrl = Deno.env.get("SUPABASE_URL");


const supabaseServiceRoleKey = Deno.env.get("SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY");

Next let's instantiate our supabase client:

const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseServiceRoleKey, {


auth: { persistSession: false },
});

From here we use the supabase client to insert our text and embedding (generated earlier) into
the database:
const { error } = await supabase.from("documents").insert({
content: input,
embedding,
});

“In production, best practice would be to check the response error to see if there were any
problems inserting the data and handle it accordingly.”

Semantic search

Finally let's perform semantic search over the embeddings in our database. At this point we'll
assume your documents table has been filled with multiple records that we can search over.

Let's create a match function in Postgres that performs the semantic search query. Execute the
following in the SQL Editor:

create function match_documents (


query_embedding vector (1536),
match_threshold float,
)
returns setof documents
language plpgsql
as $$
begin
return query
select *
from documents
where documents.embedding <#> query_embedding < -match_threshold
order by documents.embedding <#> query_embedding;
end;
$$;

This function accepts a query_embedding which represents the embedding generated from the
search query text (more on this shortly). It also accepts a match_threshold which specifies how
similar the document embeddings have to be in order for query_embedding to count as a
match.

Inside the function we implement the query which does two things:
Filters the documents to only include those who's embeddings match within the above
match_threshold . Since the <#> operator performs the negative inner product (versus

positive inner product), we negate the similarity threshold before comparing. This means a
match_threshold of 1 is most similar, and -1 is most dissimilar.

Orders the documents by negative inner product ( <#> ) ascending. This allows us to
retrieve documents that match closest first.

“Since OpenAI embeddings are normalized, we opted to use inner product ( <#> ) because it
is slightly more performant than other operators like cosine distance ( <=> ). It is important
to note though this only works because the embeddings are normalized - if they weren't,
cosine distance should be used.”

Now we can call this function from our application using the supabase.rpc() method:

const query = "What does the cat chase?";

// First create an embedding on the query itself


const result = await openai.embeddings.create({
input: query,
model: "text-embedding-3-small",
});

const [{ embedding }] = result.data;

// Then use this embedding to search for matches


const { data: documents, error: matchError } = await supabase
.rpc("match_documents", {
query_embedding: embedding,
match_threshold: 0.8,
})
.select("content")
.limit(5);

In this example, we set a match threshold to 0.8. Adjust this threshold based on what works best
with your data.

Note that since match_documents returns a set of documents , we can treat this rpc() like a
regular table query. Specifically this means we can chain additional commands to this query, like
select() and limit() . Here we select just the columns we care about from the documents

table ( content ), and we limit the number of documents returned (max 5 in this example).

At this point you have a list of documents that matched the query based on semantic
relationship, ordered by most similar first.

Next steps

You can use this example as the foundation for other semantic search techniques, like retrieval
augmented generation (RAG).

How to build a tool-using agent with LangChain


Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
May 1, 2023

This notebook takes you through how to use LangChain to augment an OpenAI model with
access to external tools. In particular, you'll be able to create LLM agents that use custom tools
to answer user queries.

What is Langchain?

LangChain is a framework for developing applications powered by language models. Their


framework enables you to build layered LLM-powered applications that are context-aware and
able to interact dynamically with their environment as agents, leading to simplified code for you
and a more dynamic user experience for your customers.

Why do LLMs need to use Tools?

One of the most common challenges with LLMs is overcoming the lack of recency and
specificity in their training data - answers can be out of date, and they are prone to
hallucinations given the huge variety in their knowledge base. Tools are a great method of
allowing an LLM to answer within a controlled context that draws on your existing knowledge
bases and internal APIs - instead of trying to prompt engineer the LLM all the way to your
intended answer, you allow it access to tools that it calls on dynamically for info, parses, and
serves to customer.

Providing LLMs access to tools can enable them to answer questions with context directly from
search engines, APIs or your own databases. Instead of answering directly, an LLM with access
to tools can perform intermediate steps to gather relevant information. Tools can also be used
in combination. For example, a language model can be made to use a search tool to lookup
quantitative information and a calculator to execute calculations.

Notebook Sections

Setup: Import packages and connect to a Pinecone vector database.

LLM Agent: Build an agent that leverages a modified version of the ReAct framework to do
chain-of-thought reasoning.

LLM Agent with History: Provide the LLM with access to previous steps in the conversation.

Knowledge Base: Create a knowledge base of "Stuff You Should Know" podcast episodes,
to be accessed through a tool.

LLM Agent with Tools: Extend the agent with access to multiple tools and test that it uses
them to answer questions.

Setup
Import libraries and set up a connection to a Pinecone vector database.

You can substitute Pinecone for any other vectorstore or database - there are a selection that
are supported by Langchain natively, while other connectors will need to be developed yourself.

!pip install openai

from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferWindowMemory
# Embeddings and vectorstore
from langchain.embeddings.openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain.vectorstores import Pinecone

# Vectorstore Index
index_name = 'podcasts'

For acquiring an API key to connect with Pinecone, you can set up a free account and store it in
the api_key variable below or in your environment variables under PINECONE_API_KEY

api_key = os.getenv("PINECONE_API_KEY") or "PINECONE_API_KEY"

# find environment next to your API key in the Pinecone console


env = os.getenv("PINECONE_ENVIRONMENT") or "PINECONE_ENVIRONMENT"

pinecone.init(api_key=api_key, environment=env)
pinecone.whoami()

pinecone.list_indexes()

['podcasts']

Run this code block if you want to clear the index, or if the index doesn't exist yet
# Check whether the index with the same name already exists - if so, delete it
if index_name in pinecone.list_indexes():
pinecone.delete_index(index_name)

# Creates new index


pinecone.create_index(name=index_name, dimension=1536)
index = pinecone.Index(index_name=index_name)
# Confirm our index was created
pinecone.list_indexes()

LLM Agent

An LLM agent in Langchain has many configurable components, which are detailed in the
Langchain documentation.

We'll employ a few of the core concepts to make an agent that talks in the way we want, can
use tools to answer questions, and uses the appropriate language model to power the
conversation.

Prompt Template: The input template to control the LLM's behaviour and how it accepts
inputs and produces outputs - this is the brain that drives your application (docs).

Output Parser: A method of parsing the output from the prompt. If the LLM produces
output using certain headers, you can enable complex interactions where variables are
generated by the LLM in their response and passed into the next step of the chain (docs).

LLM Chain: A Chain brings together a prompt template with an LLM that will execute it - in
this case we'll be using gpt-3.5-turbo but this framework can be used with OpenAI
completions models, or other LLMs entirely (docs).

Tool: An external service that the LLM can use to retrieve information or execute commands
should the user require it (docs).

Agent: The glue that brings all of this together, an agent can call multiple LLM Chains, each
with their own tools. Agents can be extended with your own logic to allow retries, error
handling and any other methods you choose to add reliability to your application (docs).

NB: Before using this cookbook with the Search tool you'll need to sign up on
https://serpapi.com/ and generate an API key. Once you have it, store it in an environment
variable named SERPAPI_API_KEY

# Initiate a Search tool - note you'll need to have set SERPAPI_API_KEY as an environment variable as

Knowledge base

Create a custom vectorstore for the Agent to use as a tool to answer questions with. We'll store
the results in Pinecone, which is supported by LangChain (Docs, API reference). For help getting
started with Pinecone or other vector databases, we have a cookbook to help you get started.

You can check the LangChain documentation to see what other vectorstores and databases are
available.

For this example we'll use the transcripts of the Stuff You Should Know podcast, which was
provided thanks to OSF DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/VM9NT

import wget

# Here is a URL to a zip archive containing the transcribed podcasts

This notebook guides you step by step on using Hologres as a vector database for OpenAI
embeddings.

This notebook presents an end-to-end process of:

What is Hologres

Hologres is a unified real-time data warehousing service developed by Alibaba Cloud. You can
use Hologres to write, update, process, and analyze large amounts of data in real time. Hologres
supports standard SQL syntax, is compatible with PostgreSQL, and supports most PostgreSQL
functions. Hologres supports online analytical processing (OLAP) and ad hoc analysis for up to
petabytes of data, and provides high-concurrency and low-latency online data services.
Hologres supports fine-grained isolation of multiple workloads and enterprise-level security
capabilities. Hologres is deeply integrated with MaxCompute, Realtime Compute for Apache
Flink, and DataWorks, and provides full-stack online and offline data warehousing solutions for
enterprises.

Hologres provides vector database functionality by adopting Proxima.


Proxima is a high-performance software library developed by Alibaba DAMO Academy. It allows
you to search for the nearest neighbors of vectors. Proxima provides higher stability and
performance than similar open source software such as Facebook AI Similarity Search (Faiss).
Proxima provides basic modules that have leading performance and effects in the industry and
allows you to search for similar images, videos, or human faces. Hologres is deeply integrated
with Proxima to provide a high-performance vector search service.

Prerequisites

For the purposes of this exercise we need to prepare a couple of things:

1. Hologres cloud server instance.

2. The 'psycopg2-binary' library to interact with the vector database. Any other postgresql
client library is ok.

3. An OpenAI API key.

We might validate if the server was launched successfully by running a simple curl command:

Install requirements
This notebook obviously requires the openai and psycopg2-binary packages, but there are
also some other additional libraries we will use. The following command installs them all:

! pip install openai psycopg2-binary pandas wget

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of the documents and queries.

If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.
Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY .

# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for
import os

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


print("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

OPENAI_API_KEY is ready

Connect to Hologres

First add it to your environment variables. or you can just change the "psycopg2.connect"
parameters below

Connecting to a running instance of Hologres server is easy with the official Python library:

import os
import psycopg2

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["PGHOST"] = "your_host"
# os.environ["PGPORT"] "5432"),
# os.environ["PGDATABASE"] "postgres"),
# os.environ["PGUSER"] "user"),
# os.environ["PGPASSWORD"] "password"),

connection = psycopg2.connect(
host=os.environ.get("PGHOST", "localhost"),
port=os.environ.get("PGPORT", "5432"),
database=os.environ.get("PGDATABASE", "postgres"),
user=os.environ.get("PGUSER", "user"),
password=os.environ.get("PGPASSWORD", "password")
)
connection.set_session(autocommit=True)

# Create a new cursor object


cursor = connection.cursor()
We can test the connection by running any available method:

# Execute a simple query to test the connection


cursor.execute("SELECT 1;")
result = cursor.fetchone()

# Check the query result


if result == (1,):
print("Connection successful!")
else:
print("Connection failed.")

Connection successful!

import wget

embeddings_url = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde

# The file is ~700 MB so this will take some time


wget.download(embeddings_url)

The downloaded file has to be then extracted:

import zipfile
import os
import re
import tempfile

current_directory = os.getcwd()
zip_file_path = os.path.join(current_directory, "vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.zip")
output_directory = os.path.join(current_directory, "../../data")

with zipfile.ZipFile(zip_file_path, "r") as zip_ref:


zip_ref.extractall(output_directory)

# check the csv file exist


file_name = "vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv"
data_directory = os.path.join(current_directory, "../../data")
file_path = os.path.join(data_directory, file_name)

if os.path.exists(file_path):
print(f"The file {file_name} exists in the data directory.")
else:
print(f"The file {file_name} does not exist in the data directory.")

The file vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv exists in the data directory.

Load data

In this section we are going to load the data prepared previous to this session, so you don't
have to recompute the embeddings of Wikipedia articles with your own credits.

Create table and proxima vector index

Hologres stores data in tables where each object is described by at least one vector. Our table
will be called articles and each object will be described by both title and content vectors.

We will start with creating a table and create proxima indexes on both title and content, and
then we will fill it with our precomputed embeddings.

cursor.execute('CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS proxima;')


create_proxima_table_sql = '''
BEGIN;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS articles;
CREATE TABLE articles (
id INT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
url TEXT,
title TEXT,
content TEXT,
title_vector float4[] check(
array_ndims(title_vector) = 1 and
array_length(title_vector, 1) = 1536
), -- define the vectors
content_vector float4[] check(
array_ndims(content_vector) = 1 and
array_length(content_vector, 1) = 1536
),
vector_id INT
);

-- Create indexes for the vector fields.


call set_table_property(
'articles',
'proxima_vectors',
'{
"title_vector":{"algorithm":"Graph","distance_method":"Euclidean","builder_params":{"min_flus
"content_vector":{"algorithm":"Graph","distance_method":"Euclidean","builder_params":{"min_fl
}'
);

COMMIT;
'''

# Execute the SQL statements (will autocommit)


cursor.execute(create_proxima_table_sql)

Upload data

Now let's upload the data to the Hologres cloud instance using COPY statement. This might
take 5-10 minutes according to the network bandwidth.

import io

# Path to the unzipped CSV file


csv_file_path = '../../data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv'

# In SQL, arrays are surrounded by {}, rather than []


def process_file(file_path):
with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
for line in file:
# Replace '[' with '{' and ']' with '}'
modified_line = line.replace('[', '{').replace(']', '}')
yield modified_line

# Create a StringIO object to store the modified lines


modified_lines = io.StringIO(''.join(list(process_file(csv_file_path))))

# Create the COPY command for the copy_expert method


copy_command = '''
COPY public.articles (id, url, title, content, title_vector, content_vector, vector_id)
FROM STDIN WITH (FORMAT CSV, HEADER true, DELIMITER ',');
'''

# Execute the COPY command using the copy_expert method


cursor.copy_expert(copy_command, modified_lines)

The proxima index will be built in the background. We can do searching during this period but
the query will be slow without the vector index. Use this command to wait for finish building the
index.

cursor.execute('vacuum articles;')
# Check the collection size to make sure all the points have been stored
count_sql = "select count(*) from articles;"
cursor.execute(count_sql)
result = cursor.fetchone()
print(f"Count:{result[0]}")

Count:25000

Search data

Once the data is uploaded we will start querying the collection for the closest vectors. We may
provide an additional parameter vector_name to switch from title to content based search.
Since the precomputed embeddings were created with text-embedding-3-small OpenAI model
we also have to use it during search.

import openai
def query_knn(query, table_name, vector_name="title_vector", top_k=20):

# Creates embedding vector from user query


embedded_query = openai.Embedding.create(
input=query,
model="text-embedding-3-small",
)["data"][0]["embedding"]

# Convert the embedded_query to PostgreSQL compatible format


embedded_query_pg = "{" + ",".join(map(str, embedded_query)) + "}"

# Create SQL query


query_sql = f"""
SELECT id, url, title, pm_approx_euclidean_distance({vector_name},'{embedded_query_pg}'::float4[]
FROM {table_name}
ORDER BY distance
LIMIT {top_k};

# Execute the query
cursor.execute(query_sql)
results = cursor.fetchall()

return results

query_results = query_knn("modern art in Europe", "Articles")

How to handle rate limits


Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Sep 9, 2022

When you call the OpenAI API repeatedly, you may encounter error messages that say 429:
'Too Many Requests' or RateLimitError . These error messages come from exceeding the API's

rate limits.

This guide shares tips for avoiding and handling rate limit errors.

To see an example script for throttling parallel requests to avoid rate limit errors, see
api_request_parallel_processor.py.

Why rate limits exist

Rate limits are a common practice for APIs, and they're put in place for a few different reasons.

First, they help protect against abuse or misuse of the API. For example, a malicious actor
could flood the API with requests in an attempt to overload it or cause disruptions in
service. By setting rate limits, OpenAI can prevent this kind of activity.

Second, rate limits help ensure that everyone has fair access to the API. If one person or
organization makes an excessive number of requests, it could bog down the API for
everyone else. By throttling the number of requests that a single user can make, OpenAI
ensures that everyone has an opportunity to use the API without experiencing slowdowns.

Lastly, rate limits can help OpenAI manage the aggregate load on its infrastructure. If
requests to the API increase dramatically, it could tax the servers and cause performance
issues. By setting rate limits, OpenAI can help maintain a smooth and consistent experience
for all users.
Although hitting rate limits can be frustrating, rate limits exist to protect the reliable operation
of the API for its users.

Default rate limits

Your rate limit and spending limit (quota) are automatically adjusted based on a number of
factors. As your usage of the OpenAI API goes up and you successfully pay the bill, we
automatically increase your usage tier. You can find specific information regarding rate limits
using the resources below.

Other rate limit resources

Read more about OpenAI's rate limits in these other resources:

Guide: Rate limits

Help Center: Is API usage subject to any rate limits?

Help Center: How can I solve 429: 'Too Many Requests' errors?

Requesting a rate limit increase

If you'd like your organization's rate limit increased, please fill out the following form:

OpenAI Rate Limit Increase Request form

import openai
import os

client = openai.OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as e

Example rate limit error

A rate limit error will occur when API requests are sent too quickly. If using the OpenAI Python
library, they will look something like:
RateLimitError: Rate limit reached for default-codex in organization org-{id} on requests per min.

Below is example code for triggering a rate limit error.

# request a bunch of completions in a loop


for _ in range(100):
client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
max_tokens=10,
)

How to avoid rate limit errors

Retrying with exponential backoff

One easy way to avoid rate limit errors is to automatically retry requests with a random
exponential backoff. Retrying with exponential backoff means performing a short sleep when a
rate limit error is hit, then retrying the unsuccessful request. If the request is still unsuccessful,
the sleep length is increased and the process is repeated. This continues until the request is
successful or until a maximum number of retries is reached.

This approach has many benefits:

Automatic retries means you can recover from rate limit errors without crashes or missing
data

Exponential backoff means that your first retries can be tried quickly, while still benefiting
from longer delays if your first few retries fail

Adding random jitter to the delay helps retries from all hitting at the same time

Note that unsuccessful requests contribute to your per-minute limit, so continuously resending
a request won’t work.

Below are a few example solutions.

Example #1: Using the Tenacity library


Tenacity is an Apache 2.0 licensed general-purpose retrying library, written in Python, to
simplify the task of adding retry behavior to just about anything.

To add exponential backoff to your requests, you can use the tenacity.retry decorator. The
following example uses the tenacity.wait_random_exponential function to add random
exponential backoff to a request.

Note that the Tenacity library is a third-party tool, and OpenAI makes no guarantees about its
reliability or security.

from tenacity import (


retry,
stop_after_attempt,
wait_random_exponential,
) # for exponential backoff

@retry(wait=wait_random_exponential(min=1, max=60), stop=stop_after_attempt(6))


def completion_with_backoff(**kwargs):
return client.chat.completions.create(**kwargs)

completion_with_backoff(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Once upon a tim

ChatCompletion(id='chatcmpl-8PAu6anX2JxQdYmJRzps38R8u0ZBC', choices=[Choice(finish_reason='stop

Example #2: Using the backoff library

Another library that provides function decorators for backoff and retry is backoff.

Like Tenacity, the backoff library is a third-party tool, and OpenAI makes no guarantees about
its reliability or security.

import backoff # for exponential backoff

@backoff.on_exception(backoff.expo, openai.RateLimitError)
def completions_with_backoff(**kwargs):
return client.chat.completions.create(**kwargs)

completions_with_backoff(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Once upon a ti


ChatCompletion(id='chatcmpl-8PAwkg7Q9pPeAkvVuAZ8AyA108WhR', choices=[Choice(finish_reason='stop

Example 3: Manual backoff implementation

If you don't want to use third-party libraries, you can implement your own backoff logic.

# imports
import random
import time

# define a retry decorator


def retry_with_exponential_backoff(
func,
initial_delay: float = 1,
exponential_base: float = 2,
jitter: bool = True,
max_retries: int = 10,
errors: tuple = (openai.RateLimitError,),
):
"""Retry a function with exponential backoff."""

def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):


# Initialize variables
num_retries = 0
delay = initial_delay

# Loop until a successful response or max_retries is hit or an exception is raised


while True:
try:
return func(*args, **kwargs)

# Retry on specified errors


except errors as e:
# Increment retries
num_retries += 1

# Check if max retries has been reached


if num_retries > max_retries:
raise Exception(
f"Maximum number of retries ({max_retries}) exceeded."
)

# Increment the delay


delay *= exponential_base * (1 + jitter * random.random())

# Sleep for the delay


time.sleep(delay)

# Raise exceptions for any errors not specified


except Exception as e:
raise e

return wrapper
@retry_with_exponential_backoff
def completions_with_backoff(**kwargs):
return client.chat.completions.create(**kwargs)

completions_with_backoff(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Once upon a ti

How to maximize throughput of batch processing given rate


limits

If you're processing real-time requests from users, backoff and retry is a great strategy to
minimize latency while avoiding rate limit errors.

However, if you're processing large volumes of batch data, where throughput matters more
than latency, there are a few other things you can do in addition to backoff and retry.

Proactively adding delay between requests

If you are constantly hitting the rate limit, then backing off, then hitting the rate limit again,
then backing off again, it's possible that a good fraction of your request budget will be 'wasted'
on requests that need to be retried. This limits your processing throughput, given a fixed rate
limit.

Here, one potential solution is to calculate your rate limit and add a delay equal to its reciprocal
(e.g., if your rate limit 20 requests per minute, add a delay of 3–6 seconds to each request). This
can help you operate near the rate limit ceiling without hitting it and incurring wasted requests.

Example of adding delay to a request

# imports
import time

# Define a function that adds a delay to a Completion API call


def delayed_completion(delay_in_seconds: float = 1, **kwargs):
"""Delay a completion by a specified amount of time."""

# Sleep for the delay


time.sleep(delay_in_seconds)

# Call the Completion API and return the result


return client.chat.completions.create(**kwargs)

# Calculate the delay based on your rate limit


rate_limit_per_minute = 20
delay = 60.0 / rate_limit_per_minute

delayed_completion(
delay_in_seconds=delay,
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Once upon a time,"}]
)

ChatCompletion(id='chatcmpl-8PAyCR1axKsomV0e349XiCN1Z81pH', choices=[Choice(finish_reason='stop

Batching requests
The OpenAI API has separate limits for requests per minute and tokens per minute.

If you're hitting the limit on requests per minute, but have headroom on tokens per minute, you
can increase your throughput by batching multiple tasks into each request. This will allow you
to process more tokens per minute, especially with the smaller models.

Sending in a batch of prompts works exactly the same as a normal API call, except that pass in a
list of strings to prompt parameter instead of a single string.

Warning: the response object may not return completions in the order of the prompts, so
always remember to match responses back to prompts using the index field.

Example without batching

num_stories = 10
content = "Once upon a time,"

# serial example, with one story completion per request


for _ in range(num_stories):
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": content}],
max_tokens=20,
)

# print story
print(content + response.choices[0].message.content)

Example parallel processing script


We've written an example script for parallel processing large quantities of API requests:
api_request_parallel_processor.py.

The script combines some handy features:

Streams requests from file, to avoid running out of memory for giant jobs

Makes requests concurrently, to maximize throughput

Throttles both request and token usage, to stay under rate limits

Retries failed requests, to avoid missing data

Logs errors, to diagnose problems with requests

Unit test writing using a multi-step prompt


(with the older API)
Ted Sanders
Open in Github
May 18, 2023

Complex tasks, such as writing unit tests, can benefit from multi-step prompts. In contrast to a
single prompt, a multi-step prompt generates text from GPT-3 and then feeds that text back
into subsequent prompts. This can help in cases where you want GPT-3 to explain its reasoning
before answering, or brainstorm a plan before executing it.

In this notebook, we use a 3-step prompt to write unit tests in Python using the following steps:

1. Given a Python function, we first prompt GPT-3 to explain what the function is doing.

2. Second, we prompt GPT-3 to plan a set of unit tests for the function.

If the plan is too short, we ask GPT-3 to elaborate with more ideas for unit tests.

3. Finally, we prompt GPT-3 to write the unit tests.

The code example illustrates a few optional embellishments on the chained, multi-step prompt:

Conditional branching (e.g., only asking for elaboration if the first plan is too short)

Different models for different steps (e.g., gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct for the text planning
steps and gpt-4 for the code writing step)

A check that re-runs the function if the output is unsatisfactory (e.g., if the output code
cannot be parsed by Python's ast module)

Streaming output so that you can start reading the output before it's fully generated (useful
for long, multi-step outputs)

The full 3-step prompt looks like this (using as an example pytest for the unit test framework
and is_palindrome as the function):

In this advanced tutorial for experts, we'll use Python 3.9 and `pytest` to write a suite of unit t

A good unit test suite should aim to:


- Test the function's behavior for a wide range of possible inputs
- Test edge cases that the author may not have foreseen
- Take advantage of the features of `pytest` to make the tests easy to write and maintain
- Be easy to read and understand, with clean code and descriptive names
- Be deterministic, so that the tests always pass or fail in the same way

How to make your completions outputs


consistent with the new seed parameter
Shyamal Anadkat
Open in Github
Nov 5, 2023

TLDR: Developers can now specify seed parameter in the Chat Completion request to receive
(mostly) consistent outputs. To help you keep track of these changes, we expose the
system_fingerprint field. If this value is different, you may see different outputs due to
changes we've made on our systems. Please note that this feature is in beta and only currently
supported for gpt-4-1106-preview and gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 .

Context

Reproducibility has always been a big request from user communities when using our APIs. For
instance, when granted the capability of getting reproducible numerical result, users can unlock
quite a bit of use cases that’s sensitive to numerical changes.

Model level features for consistent outputs

The Chat Completions and Completions APIs are non-deterministic by default (which means
model outputs may differ from request to request), but now offer some control towards
deterministic outputs using a few model level controls.

This can unlock consistent completions which enables full control on the model behaviors for
anything built on top of the APIs, and quite useful for reproducing results and testing so you
know get peace of mind from knowing exactly what you’d get.

Implementing consistent outputs

To receive mostly deterministic outputs across API calls:


Set the seed parameter to any integer of your choice, but use the same value across
requests. For example, 12345 .

Set all other parameters (prompt, temperature, top_p, etc.) to the same values across
requests.

In the response, check the system_fingerprint field. The system fingerprint is an identifier
for the current combination of model weights, infrastructure, and other configuration
options used by OpenAI servers to generate the completion. It changes whenever you
change request parameters, or OpenAI updates numerical configuration of the
infrastructure serving our models (which may happen a few times a year).

If the seed , request parameters, and system_fingerprint all match across your requests, then
model outputs will mostly be identical. There is a small chance that responses differ even when
request parameters and system_fingerprint match, due to the inherent non-determinism of
our models.

Model level controls for consistent outputs - seed and


system_fingerprint

seed

If specified, our system will make a best effort to sample deterministically, such that repeated
requests with the same seed and parameters should return the same result. Determinism is not
guaranteed, and you should refer to the system_fingerprint response parameter to monitor
changes in the backend.

system_fingerprint

This fingerprint represents the backend configuration that the model runs with. It can be used in
conjunction with the seed request parameter to understand when backend changes have been
made that might impact determinism.This is the indicator on whether users should expect
"almost always the same result".

Example: Generating a short excerpt with a fixed seed

In this example, we will demonstrate how to generate a short excerpt using a fixed seed. This
can be particularly useful in scenarios where you need to generate consistent results for testing,
debugging, or for applications that require consistent outputs.

First, let's try generating few different versions of a short excerpt about "a journey to Mars"
without the seed parameter. This is the default behavior:

topic = "a journey to Mars"


system_message = "You are a helpful assistant."
user_request = f"Generate a short excerpt of news about {topic}."

As we can observe, the seed parameter allows us to generate much more consistent results.

Conclusion

We demonstrated how to use a fixed integer seed to generate consistent outputs from our
model. This is particularly useful in scenarios where reproducibility is important. However, it's
important to note that while the seed ensures consistency, it does not guarantee the quality of
the output. Note that when you want to use reproducible outputs, you need to set the seed to
the same integer across Chat Completions calls. You should also match any other parameters
like temperature , max_tokens etc. Further extension of reproducible outputs could be to use
consistent seed when benchmarking/evaluating the performance of different prompts or
models, to ensure that each version is evaluated under the same conditions, making the
comparisons fair and the results reliable.

Visualizing the embeddings in 2D


Boris Power, Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

We will use t-SNE to reduce the dimensionality of the embeddings from 1536 to 2. Once the
embeddings are reduced to two dimensions, we can plot them in a 2D scatter plot. The dataset
is created in the Get_embeddings_from_dataset Notebook.

1. Reduce dimensionality
We reduce the dimensionality to 2 dimensions using t-SNE decomposition.

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.manifold import TSNE
import numpy as np
from ast import literal_eval

# Load the embeddings


datafile_path = "data/fine_food_reviews_with_embeddings_1k.csv"
df = pd.read_csv(datafile_path)

# Convert to a list of lists of floats


matrix = np.array(df.embedding.apply(literal_eval).to_list())

# Create a t-SNE model and transform the data


tsne = TSNE(n_components=2, perplexity=15, random_state=42, init='random', learning_rate=200)
vis_dims = tsne.fit_transform(matrix)
vis_dims.shape

(1000, 2)

2. Plotting the embeddings

We colour each review by its star rating, ranging from red to green.

We can observe a decent data separation even in the reduced 2 dimensions.


import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib
import numpy as np

colors = ["red", "darkorange", "gold", "turquoise", "darkgreen"]


x = [x for x,y in vis_dims]
y = [y for x,y in vis_dims]
color_indices = df.Score.values - 1

colormap = matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap(colors)
plt.scatter(x, y, c=color_indices, cmap=colormap, alpha=0.3)
for score in [0,1,2,3,4]:
avg_x = np.array(x)[df.Score-1==score].mean()
avg_y = np.array(y)[df.Score-1==score].mean()
color = colors[score]
plt.scatter(avg_x, avg_y, marker='x', color=color, s=100)

Sep 29, 2023

This notebook shows how to implement a question answering system with LangChain, Deep
Lake as a vector store and OpenAI embeddings. We will take the following steps to achieve this:

1. Load a Deep Lake text dataset

2. Initialize a Deep Lake vector store with LangChain

3. Add text to the vector store

4. Run queries on the database

5. Done!

You can also follow other tutorials such as question answering over any type of data (PDFs, json,
csv, text): chatting with any data stored in Deep Lake, code understanding, or question
answering over PDFs, or recommending songs.

Install requirements

Let's install the following packages.

Both baseball and hockey are single tokens. We save the dataset as a jsonl file.

df.to_json("sport2.jsonl", orient='records', lines=True)

Data Preparation tool

We can now use a data preparation tool which will suggest a few improvements to our dataset
before fine-tuning. Before launching the tool we update the openai library to ensure we're using
the latest data preparation tool. We additionally specify -q which auto-accepts all suggestions.

!openai tools fine_tunes.prepare_data -f sport2.jsonl -q

Analyzing...

- Your file contains 1197 prompt-completion pairs


- Based on your data it seems like you're trying to fine-tune a model for classification
- For classification, we recommend you try one of the faster and cheaper models, such as `ada`
- For classification, you can estimate the expected model performance by keeping a held out dat
- There are 11 examples that are very long. These are rows: [134, 200, 281, 320, 404, 595, 704,
For conditional generation, and for classification the examples shouldn't be longer than 2048 t
- Your data does not contain a common separator at the end of your prompts. Having a separator
- The completion should start with a whitespace character (` `). This tends to produce better r

Based on the analysis we will perform the following actions:


- [Recommended] Remove 11 long examples [Y/n]: Y
- [Recommended] Add a suffix separator `\n\n###\n\n` to all prompts [Y/n]: Y
- [Recommended] Add a whitespace character to the beginning of the completion [Y/n]: Y
- [Recommended] Would you like to split into training and validation set? [Y/n]: Y

Your data will be written to a new JSONL file. Proceed [Y/n]: Y


Wrote modified files to `sport2_prepared_train (1).jsonl` and `sport2_prepared_valid (1).jsonl`
Feel free to take a look!

Now use that file when fine-tuning:


> openai api fine_tunes.create -t "sport2_prepared_train (1).jsonl" -v "sport2_prepared_valid (

After you’ve fine-tuned a model, remember that your prompt has to end with the indicator string
Once your model starts training, it'll approximately take 30.8 minutes to train a `curie` model

The tool helpfully suggests a few improvements to the dataset and splits the dataset into
training and validation set.

A suffix between a prompt and a completion is necessary to tell the model that the input text
has stopped, and that it now needs to predict the class. Since we use the same separator in each
example, the model is able to learn that it is meant to predict either baseball or hockey
following the separator. A whitespace prefix in completions is useful, as most word tokens are
tokenized with a space prefix. The tool also recognized that this is likely a classification task, so
it suggested to split the dataset into training and validation datasets. This will allow us to easily
measure expected performance on new data.

Fine-tuning

The tool suggests we run the following command to train the dataset. Since this is a
classification task, we would like to know what the generalization performance on the provided
validation set is for our classification use case.

We can simply copy the suggested command from the CLI tool. We specifically add -m ada to
fine-tune a cheaper and faster ada model, which is usually comperable in performance to slower
and more expensive models on classification use cases.

train_file = client.files.create(file=open("sport2_prepared_train.jsonl", "rb"), purpose="fine-tune")


valid_file = client.files.create(file=open("sport2_prepared_valid.jsonl", "rb"), purpose="fine-tune")

fine_tuning_job = client.fine_tuning.jobs.create(training_file=train_file.id, validation_file=valid_f

print(fine_tuning_job)

FineTuningJob(id='ftjob-REo0uLpriEAm08CBRNDlPJZC', created_at=1704413736, error=None, fine_tune


The model is successfully trained in about ten minutes. You can watch the finetune happen on
https://platform.openai.com/finetune/

You can also check on its status programatically:

fine_tune_results = client.fine_tuning.jobs.retrieve(fine_tuning_job.id)
print(fine_tune_results.finished_at)

1704414393

[Advanced] Results and expected model performance


We can now download the results file to observe the expected performance on a held out
validation set.

fine_tune_results = client.fine_tuning.jobs.retrieve(fine_tuning_job.id).result_files
result_file = client.files.retrieve(fine_tune_results[0])
content = client.files.content(result_file.id)
# save content to file
with open("result.csv", "wb") as f:
f.write(content.text.encode("utf-8"))

results = pd.read_csv('result.csv')
results[results['train_accuracy'].notnull()].tail(1)

step train_loss train_accuracy valid_loss valid_mean_token_accuracy

2843 2844 0.0 1.0 NaN NaN

The accuracy reaches 99.6%. On the plot below we can see how accuracy on the validation set
increases during the training run.

results[results['train_accuracy'].notnull()]['train_accuracy'].plot()
Using the model

We can now call the model to get the predictions.

test = pd.read_json('sport2_prepared_valid.jsonl', lines=True)


test.head()

prompt completion

0 From: [email protected] (Gary L Dare)... hockey

1 From: [email protected] (Ron Morris ... hockey

2 From: [email protected] (Geral... hockey

3 From: [email protected] (Kim Krattig... baseball

4 From: [email protected] (Doug Dolven)\nSub... baseball

We need to use the same separator following the prompt which we used during fine-tuning. In
this case it is \n\n###\n\n . Since we're concerned with classification, we want the temperature
to be as low as possible, and we only require one token completion to determine the prediction
of the model.

ft_model = fine_tune_results.fine_tuned_model

# note that this calls the legacy completions api - https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/co


res = client.completions.create(model=ft_model, prompt=test['prompt'][0] + '\n\n###\n\n', max_tokens=
res.choices[0].text

' hockey'

To get the log probabilities, we can specify logprobs parameter on the completion request

res = client.completions.create(model=ft_model, prompt=test['prompt'][0] + '\n\n###\n\n', max_tokens=


res.choices[0].logprobs.top_logprobs

[{' hockey': 0.0, ' Hockey': -22.504879}]

We can see that the model predicts hockey as a lot more likely than baseball, which is the
correct prediction. By requesting log_probs, we can see the prediction (log) probability for each
class.

Generalization
Interestingly, our fine-tuned classifier is quite versatile. Despite being trained on emails to
different mailing lists, it also successfully predicts tweets.

sample_hockey_tweet = """Thank you to the


@Canes
and all you amazing Caniacs that have been so supportive! You guys are some of the best fans in the

Using Tair as a vector database for OpenAI


embeddings
dongqqcom
Open in Github
Sep 10, 2023

This notebook guides you step by step on using Tair as a vector database for OpenAI
embeddings.

This notebook presents an end-to-end process of:

1. Using precomputed embeddings created by OpenAI API.

2. Storing the embeddings in a cloud instance of Tair.

3. Converting raw text query to an embedding with OpenAI API.

4. Using Tair to perform the nearest neighbour search in the created collection.

What is Tair
Tair is a cloud native in-memory database service that is developed by Alibaba Cloud. Tair is
compatible with open source Redis and provides a variety of data models and enterprise-class
capabilities to support your real-time online scenarios. Tair also introduces persistent memory-
optimized instances that are based on the new non-volatile memory (NVM) storage medium.
These instances can reduce costs by 30%, ensure data persistence, and provide almost the same
performance as in-memory databases. Tair has been widely used in areas such as government
affairs, finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and pan-Internet to meet their high-speed query and
computing requirements.

Tairvector is an in-house data structure that provides high-performance real-time storage and
retrieval of vectors. TairVector provides two indexing algorithms: Hierarchical Navigable Small
World (HNSW) and Flat Search. Additionally, TairVector supports multiple distance functions,
such as Euclidean distance, inner product, and Jaccard distance. Compared with traditional
vector retrieval services, TairVector has the following advantages:

Stores all data in memory and supports real-time index updates to reduce latency of read
and write operations.

Uses an optimized data structure in memory to better utilize storage capacity.

Functions as an out-of-the-box data structure in a simple and efficient architecture without


complex modules or dependencies.

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of the documents and queries.

If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Once you get your key, please add it by getpass.

import getpass
import openai

openai.api_key = getpass.getpass("Input your OpenAI API key:")

Input your OpenAI API key:········

Connect to Tair

First add it to your environment variables.

Connecting to a running instance of Tair server is easy with the official Python library.

# The format of url: redis://[[username]:[password]]@localhost:6379/0


TAIR_URL = getpass.getpass("Input your tair url:")
Input your tair url:········

from tair import Tair as TairClient

# connect to tair from url and create a client

url = TAIR_URL
client = TairClient.from_url(url)

We can test the connection by ping:

client.ping()

True

import wget

embeddings_url = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde

# The file is ~700 MB so this will take some time


wget.download(embeddings_url)

100% [......................................................................] 698933052 / 69893

'vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded (1).zip'

The downloaded file has to then be extracted:

import zipfile
import os
import re
import tempfile

current_directory = os.getcwd()
zip_file_path = os.path.join(current_directory, "vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.zip")
output_directory = os.path.join(current_directory, "../../data")
with zipfile.ZipFile(zip_file_path, "r") as zip_ref:
zip_ref.extractall(output_directory)

# check the csv file exist


file_name = "vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv"
data_directory = os.path.join(current_directory, "../../data")
file_path = os.path.join(data_directory, file_name)

if os.path.exists(file_path):
print(f"The file {file_name} exists in the data directory.")
else:
print(f"The file {file_name} does not exist in the data directory.")

The file vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv exists in the data directory.

Create Index

Tair stores data in indexes where each object is described by one key. Each key contains a vector
and multiple attribute_keys.

We will start with creating two indexes, one for title_vector and one for content_vector, and
then we will fill it with our precomputed embeddings.

# set index parameters


index = "openai_test"
embedding_dim = 1536
distance_type = "L2"
index_type = "HNSW"
data_type = "FLOAT32"

# Create two indexes, one for title_vector and one for content_vector, skip if already exists
index_names = [index + "_title_vector", index+"_content_vector"]
for index_name in index_names:
index_connection = client.tvs_get_index(index_name)
if index_connection is not None:
print("Index already exists")
else:
client.tvs_create_index(name=index_name, dim=embedding_dim, distance_type=distance_type,
index_type=index_type, data_type=data_type)

Index already exists


Index already exists
Load data

In this section we are going to load the data prepared previous to this session, so you don't
have to recompute the embeddings of Wikipedia articles with your own credits.

import pandas as pd
from ast import literal_eval
# Path to your local CSV file
csv_file_path = '../../data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv'
article_df = pd.read_csv(csv_file_path)

# Read vectors from strings back into a list


article_df['title_vector'] = article_df.title_vector.apply(literal_eval).values
article_df['content_vector'] = article_df.content_vector.apply(literal_eval).values

# add/update data to indexes


for i in range(len(article_df)):
# add data to index with title_vector
client.tvs_hset(index=index_names[0], key=article_df.id[i].item(), vector=article_df.title_vector
**{"url": article_df.url[i], "title": article_df.title[i], "text": article_df.tex
# add data to index with content_vector
client.tvs_hset(index=index_names[1], key=article_df.id[i].item(), vector=article_df.content_vect
**{"url": article_df.url[i], "title": article_df.title[i], "text": article_df.tex

# Check the data count to make sure all the points have been stored
for index_name in index_names:
stats = client.tvs_get_index(index_name)
count = int(stats["current_record_count"]) - int(stats["delete_record_count"])
print(f"Count in {index_name}:{count}")

Count in openai_test_title_vector:25000
Count in openai_test_content_vector:25000

Search data

Once the data is put into Tair we will start querying the collection for the closest vectors. We
may provide an additional parameter vector_name to switch from title to content based search.
Since the precomputed embeddings were created with text-embedding-3-small OpenAI
model, we also have to use it during search.
def query_tair(client, query, vector_name="title_vector", top_k=5):

# Creates embedding vector from user query


embedded_query = openai.Embedding.create(
input= query,
model="text-embedding-3-small",
)["data"][0]['embedding']
embedded_query = np.array(embedded_query)

# search for the top k approximate nearest neighbors of vector in an index


query_result = client.tvs_knnsearch(index=index+"_"+vector_name, k=top_k, vector=embedded_query)

return query_result

import openai
import numpy as np

query_result = query_tair(client=client, query="modern art in Europe", vector_name="title_vector")


for i in range(len(query_result)):
title = client.tvs_hmget(index+"_"+"content_vector", query_result[i][0].decode('utf-8'), "title")
print(f"{i + 1}. {title[0].decode('utf-8')} (Distance: {round(query_result[i][1],3)})")

# This time we'll query using content vector

for i in range(len(query_result)):
title = client.tvs_hmget(index+"_"+"content_vector", query_result[i][0].decode('utf-8'), "title")

Visualizing the embeddings in Kangas


Douglas Blank
Open in Github
Jul 10, 2023

In this Jupyter Notebook, we construct a Kangas DataGrid containing the data and projections
of the embeddings into 2 dimensions.

What is Kangas?

Kangas as an open source, mixed-media, dataframe-like tool for data scientists. It was
developed by Comet, a company designed to help reduce the friction of moving models into
production.

1. Setup
To get started, we pip install kangas, and import it.

%pip install kangas --quiet

import kangas as kg

2. Constructing a Kangas DataGrid

We create a Kangas Datagrid with the original data and the embeddings. The data is composed
of a rows of reviews, and the embeddings are composed of 1536 floating-point values. In this
example, we get the data directly from github, in case you aren't running this notebook inside
OpenAI's repo.

We use Kangas to read the CSV file into a DataGrid for further processing.
data = kg.read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-cookbook/main/examples/data/fine_

Now, we create a new DataGrid, converting the numbers into an Embedding:

import ast # to convert string of a list of numbers into a list of numbers

dg = kg.DataGrid(
name="openai_embeddings",
columns=data.get_columns(),
converters={"Score": str},
)
for row in data:
embedding = ast.literal_eval(row[8])
row[8] = kg.Embedding(
embedding,
name=str(row[3]),
text="%s - %.10s" % (row[3], row[4]),
projection="umap",
)
dg.append(row)

The new DataGrid now has an Embedding column with proper datatype.

dg.info()

DataGrid (in memory)


Name : openai_embeddings
Rows : 1,000
Columns: 9
# Column Non-Null Count DataGrid Type

6 Text 1,000 TEXT
7 combined 1,000 TEXT
8 n_tokens 1,000 INTEGER
9 embedding 1,000 EMBEDDING-ASSET

We simply save the datagrid, and we're done.

dg.save()

3. Render 2D Projections
To render the data directly in the notebook, simply show it. Note that each row contains an
embedding projection.

Scroll to far right to see embeddings projection per row.

The color of the point in projection space represents the Score.

dg.show()
Group by "Score" to see rows of each group.

dg.show(group="Score", sort="Score", rows=5, select="Score,embedding")


An example of this datagrid is hosted here: https://kangas.comet.com/?

Semantic Search with Pinecone and OpenAI


James Briggs
Open in Github
Mar 23, 2023

In this guide you will learn how to use the OpenAI Embedding API to generate language
embeddings, and then index those embeddings in the Pinecone vector database for fast and
scalable vector search.

This is a powerful and common combination for building semantic search, question-answering,
threat-detection, and other applications that rely on NLP and search over a large corpus of text
data.

The basic workflow looks like this:

Embed and index

Use the OpenAI Embedding API to generate vector embeddings of your documents (or any
text data).

Upload those vector embeddings into Pinecone, which can store and index millions/billions
of these vector embeddings, and search through them at ultra-low latencies.

Search

Pass your query text or document through the OpenAI Embedding API again.

Take the resulting vector embedding and send it as a query to Pinecone.

Get back semantically similar documents, even if they don't share any keywords with the
query.
Let's get started...

Setup

We first need to setup our environment and retrieve API keys for OpenAI and Pinecone. Let's
start with our environment, we need HuggingFace Datasets for our data, and the OpenAI and
Pinecone clients:

!pip install -qU \

llmx 0.0.15a0 requires tiktoken, which is not installed.
tensorflow-probability 0.22.0 requires typing-extensions<4.6.0, but you have typing-extensions

Creating Embeddings

Then we initialize our connection to OpenAI Embeddings and Pinecone vector DB. Sign up for
an API key over at OpenAI and Pinecone.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
api_key="OPENAI_API_KEY"
) # get API key from platform.openai.com

We can now create embeddings with the OpenAI Ada similarity model like so:

MODEL = "text-embedding-3-small"

res = client.embeddings.create(
input=[
"Sample document text goes here",
"there will be several phrases in each batch"
], model=MODEL

Querying
With our data indexed, we're now ready to move onto performing searches. This follows a
similar process to indexing. We start with a text query , that we would like to use to find similar
sentences. As before we encode this with OpenAI's text similarity Babbage model to create a
query vector xq . We then use xq to query the Pinecone index.

query = "What caused the 1929 Great Depression?"

xq = client.embeddings.create(input=query, model=MODEL).data[0].embedding

Now query...

res = index.query(vector=[xq], top_k=5, include_metadata=True)


res

{'matches': [{'id': '932',


'metadata': {'text': 'Why did the world enter a global '
'depression in 1929 ?'},
'score': 0.751888752,
'values': []},
{'id': '787',
'metadata': {'text': "When was `` the Great Depression '' ?"},
'score': 0.597448647,
'values': []},
{'id': '400',
'metadata': {'text': 'What crop failure caused the Irish Famine '
'?'},
'score': 0.367482603,
'values': []},
{'id': '835',
'metadata': {'text': 'What were popular songs and types of songs '
'in the 1920s ?'},
'score': 0.324545294,
'values': []},
{'id': '262',
'metadata': {'text': 'When did World War I start ?'},
'score': 0.320995867,
'values': []}],
'namespace': '',
'usage': {'read_units': 6}}

The response from Pinecone includes our original text in the metadata field, let's print out the
top_k most similar questions and their respective similarity scores.

for match in res['matches']:


print(f"{match['score']:.2f}: {match['metadata']['text']}")

0.75: Why did the world enter a global depression in 1929 ?


0.60: When was `` the Great Depression '' ?
0.37: What crop failure caused the Irish Famine ?
0.32: What were popular songs and types of songs in the 1920s ?
0.32: When did World War I start ?

Looks good, let's make it harder and replace "depression" with the incorrect term "recession".

query = "What was the cause of the major recession in the early 20th century?"

# create the query embedding


xq = client.embeddings.create(input=query, model=MODEL).data[0].embedding

# query, returning the top 5 most similar results


res = index.query(vector=[xq], top_k=5, include_metadata=True)
for match in res['matches']:
print(f"{match['score']:.2f}: {match['metadata']['text']}")

0.63: Why did the world enter a global depression in 1929 ?


0.55: When was `` the Great Depression '' ?
0.34: What were popular songs and types of songs in the 1920s ?
0.33: What crop failure caused the Irish Famine ?
0.29: What is considered the costliest disaster the insurance industry has ever faced ?

And again...

query = "Why was there a long-term economic downturn in the early 20th century?"

# create the query embedding


xq = client.embeddings.create(input=query, model=MODEL).data[0].embedding

# query, returning the top 5 most similar results


res = index.query(vector=[xq], top_k=5, include_metadata=True)

for match in res['matches']:


print(f"{match['score']:.2f}: {match['metadata']['text']}")

0.62: Why did the world enter a global depression in 1929 ?


0.54: When was `` the Great Depression '' ?
0.34: What were popular songs and types of songs in the 1920s ?
0.33: What crop failure caused the Irish Famine ?
0.32: What do economists do ?

Looks great, our semantic search pipeline is clearly able to identify the meaning between each
of our queries and return the most semantically similar questions from the already indexed
questions.

Once we're finished with the index we delete it to save resources.

Search reranking with cross-encoders


Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Jun 27, 2023

This notebook takes you through examples of using a cross-encoder to re-rank search results.

This is a common use case with our customers, where you've implemented semantic search
using embeddings (produced using a bi-encoder) but the results are not as accurate as your
use case requires. A possible cause is that there is some business rule you can use to rerank the
documents such as how recent or how popular a document is.

However, often there are subtle domain-specific rules that help determine relevancy, and this is
where a cross-encoder can be useful. Cross-encoders are more accurate than bi-encoders but
they don't scale well, so using them to re-order a shortened list returned by semantic search is
the ideal use case.

Example
Consider a search task with D documents and Q queries.

The brute force approach of computing every pairwise relevance is expensive; its cost scales as
D * Q . This is known as cross-encoding.

A faster approach is embeddings-based search, in which an embedding is computed once for


each document and query, and then re-used multiple times to cheaply compute pairwise
relevance. Because embeddings are only computed once, its cost scales as D + Q . This is known
as bi-encoding.

Although embeddings-based search is faster, the quality can be worse. To get the best of both,
one common approach is to use embeddings (or another bi-encoder) to cheaply identify top
candidates, and then use GPT (or another cross-encoder) to expensively re-rank those top
candidates. The cost of this hybrid approach scales as (D + Q) * cost of embedding + (N * Q)
* cost of re-ranking , where N is the number of candidates re-ranked.

Walkthrough

To illustrate this approach we'll use text-davinci-003 with logprobs enabled to build a GPT-
powered cross-encoder. Our GPT models have strong general language understanding, which
when tuned with some few-shot examples can provide a simple and effective cross-encoding
option.

This notebook drew on this great article by Weaviate, and this excellent explanation of bi-
encoders vs. cross-encoders from Sentence Transformers.

Search

We'll use the arXiv search service for this example, but this step could be performed by any
search service you have. The key item to consider is over-fetching slightly to capture all the
potentially relevant documents, before re-sorting them.

Cross-encoder

We'll create a cross-encoder using the Completions endpoint - the key factors to consider here
are:

Make your examples domain-specific - the strength of cross-encoders comes when you
tailor them to your domain.

There is a trade-off between how many potential examples to re-rank vs. processing speed.
Consider batching and parallel processing cross-encoder requests to process them more
quickly.

The steps here are:

Build a prompt to assess relevance and provide few-shot examples to tune it to your
domain.

Add a logit bias for the tokens for Yes and No to decrease the likelihood of any other
tokens occurring.

Return the classification of yes/no as well as the logprobs .

Rerank the results by the logprobs keyed on Yes .

tokens = [" Yes", " No"]

'In Search for Linear Relations in Sentence Embedding Spaces: We present an introductory invest

Conclusion

We've shown how to create a tailored cross-encoder to rerank academic papers. This approach
will work best where there are domain-specific nuances that can be used to pick the most
relevant corpus for your users, and where some pre-filtering has taken place to limit the amount
of data the cross-encoder will need to process.
A few typical use cases we've seen are:

Returning a list of 100 most relevant stock reports, then re-ordering into a top 5 or 10
based on the detailed context of a particular set of customer portfolios

Running after a classic rules-based search that gets the top 100 or 1000 most relevant
results to prune it according to a specific user's context

Taking this forward

Taking the few-shot approach, as we have here, can work well when the domain is general
enough that a small number of examples will cover most reranking cases. However, as the
differences between documents become more specific you may want to consider the Fine-
tuning endpoint to make a more elaborate cross-encoder with a wider variety of examples.

There is also a latency impact of using text-davinci-003 that you'll need to consider, with
even our few examples above taking a couple seconds each - again, the Fine-tuning endpoint
may help you here if you are able to get decent results from an ada or babbage fine-tuned
model.

We've used the Completions endpoint from OpenAI to build our cross-encoder, but this area is
well-served by the open-source community. Here is an example from HuggingFace, for
example.

We hope you find this useful for tuning your search use cases, and look forward to seeing what
you build.

Semantic text search using embeddings


Boris Power, Ted Sanders, Logan Kilpatrick
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

We can search through all our reviews semantically in a very efficient manner and at very low
cost, by embedding our search query, and then finding the most similar reviews. The dataset is
created in the Get_embeddings_from_dataset Notebook.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from ast import literal_eval

datafile_path = "data/fine_food_reviews_with_embeddings_1k.csv"

df = pd.read_csv(datafile_path)
df["embedding"] = df.embedding.apply(literal_eval).apply(np.array)

Here we compare the cosine similarity of the embeddings of the query and the documents, and
show top_n best matches.

from utils.embeddings_utils import get_embedding, cosine_similarity

# search through the reviews for a specific product


def search_reviews(df, product_description, n=3, pprint=True):
product_embedding = get_embedding(

How to format inputs to ChatGPT models


Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Feb 28, 2023

ChatGPT is powered by gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4 , OpenAI's most advanced models.

You can build your own applications with gpt-3.5-turbo or gpt-4 using the OpenAI API.

Chat models take a series of messages as input, and return an AI-written message as output.

This guide illustrates the chat format with a few example API calls.

1. Import the openai library

# if needed, install and/or upgrade to the latest version of the OpenAI Python library
%pip install --upgrade openai

# import the OpenAI Python library for calling the OpenAI API
from openai import OpenAI
import os

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

2. An example chat completion API call

A chat completion API call parameters, Required

model : the name of the model you want to use (e.g., gpt-3.5-turbo , gpt-4 , gpt-3.5-

turbo-16k-1106 )

messages : a list of message objects, where each object has two required fields:

role : the role of the messenger (either system , user , assistant or tool )
content : the content of the message (e.g., Write me a beautiful poem )

Messages can also contain an optional name field, which give the messenger a name. E.g.,
example-user , Alice , BlackbeardBot . Names may not contain spaces.

Optional

frequency_penalty : Penalizes tokens based on their frequency, reducing repetition.

logit_bias : Modifies likelihood of specified tokens with bias values.

logprobs : Returns log probabilities of output tokens if true.

top_logprobs : Specifies the number of most likely tokens to return at each position.

max_tokens : Sets the maximum number of generated tokens in chat completion.

n : Generates a specified number of chat completion choices for each input.

presence_penalty : Penalizes new tokens based on their presence in the text.

response_format : Specifies the output format, e.g., JSON mode.

seed : Ensures deterministic sampling with a specified seed.

stop : Specifies up to 4 sequences where the API should stop generating tokens.

stream : Sends partial message deltas as tokens become available.

temperature : Sets the sampling temperature between 0 and 2.

top_p : Uses nucleus sampling; considers tokens with top_p probability mass.

tools : Lists functions the model may call.

tool_choice : Controls the model's function calls (none/auto/function).

user : Unique identifier for end-user monitoring and abuse detection.

As of January 2024, you can also optionally submit a list of functions that tell GPT whether it
can generate JSON to feed into a function. For details, see the documentation, API reference,
or the Cookbook guide How to call functions with chat models.

Typically, a conversation will start with a system message that tells the assistant how to behave,
followed by alternating user and assistant messages, but you are not required to follow this
format.
Let's look at an example chat API calls to see how the chat format works in practice.

As you can see, the response object has a few fields:

id : the ID of the request

choices : a list of completion objects (only one, unless you set n greater than 1)
finish_reason : the reason the model stopped generating text (either stop , or

length if max_tokens limit was reached)

index : The index of the choice in the list of choices.

logprobs : Log probability information for the choice.

message : the message object generated by the model

content : content of message

role : The role of the author of this message.

tool_calls : The tool calls generated by the model, such as function calls. if the

tools is given

created : the timestamp of the request

model : the full name of the model used to generate the response

object : the type of object returned (e.g., chat.completion )

system_fingerprint : This fingerprint represents the backend configuration that the model
runs with.

usage : the number of tokens used to generate the replies, counting prompt, completion,

and total

Extract just the reply with:

response.choices[0].message.content

'Orange who?'

Even non-conversation-based tasks can fit into the chat format, by placing the instruction in the
first user message.

For example, to ask the model to explain asynchronous programming in the style of the pirate
Blackbeard, we can structure conversation as follows:

# example with a system message


response = client.chat.completions.create(

3. Tips for instructing gpt-3.5-turbo-0301

Best practices for instructing models may change from model version to model version. The
advice that follows applies to gpt-3.5-turbo-0301 and may not apply to future models.

System messages

The system message can be used to prime the assistant with different personalities or
behaviors.

Be aware that gpt-3.5-turbo-0301 does not generally pay as much attention to the system
message as gpt-4-0314 or gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 . Therefore, for gpt-3.5-turbo-0301 , we
recommend placing important instructions in the user message instead. Some developers have
found success in continually moving the system message near the end of the conversation to
keep the model's attention from drifting away as conversations get longer.

# An example of a system message that primes the assistant to explain concepts in great depth
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model=MODEL,
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a friendly and helpful teaching assistant. You explain
{"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain how fractions work?"},
],
temperature=0,
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Of course! Fractions are a way to represent parts of a whole. They are made up of two numbers:

Let's take an example to understand this better. Imagine you have a pizza that is divided into

Fractions can also be used to represent numbers less than 1. For example, if you eat half of a

Now, let's talk about equivalent fractions. Equivalent fractions are different fractions that r
Here's a question to check your understanding: If you have a cake divided into 12 equal slices

# An example of a system message that primes the assistant to give brief, to-the-point answers
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model=MODEL,
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a laconic assistant. You reply with brief, to-the-poin
{"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain how fractions work?"},
],
temperature=0,
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Fractions represent parts of a whole. They have a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bot

Few-shot prompting

In some cases, it's easier to show the model what you want rather than tell the model what you
want.

One way to show the model what you want is with faked example messages.

For example:

# An example of a faked few-shot conversation to prime the model into translating business jargon to
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model=MODEL,
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful, pattern-following assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Help me translate the following corporate jargon into plain Engl
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Sure, I'd be happy to!"},
{"role": "user", "content": "New synergies will help drive top-line growth."},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Things working well together will increase revenue."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Let's circle back when we have more bandwidth to touch base on o
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Let's talk later when we're less busy about how to do bette
{"role": "user", "content": "This late pivot means we don't have time to boil the ocean for t
],
temperature=0,
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
This sudden change in direction means we don't have enough time to complete the entire project

To help clarify that the example messages are not part of a real conversation, and shouldn't be
referred back to by the model, you can try setting the name field of system messages to
example_user and example_assistant .

Transforming the few-shot example above, we could write:

# The business jargon translation example, but with example names for the example messages
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model=MODEL,
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful, pattern-following assistant that translates
{"role": "system", "name":"example_user", "content": "New synergies will help drive top-line
{"role": "system", "name": "example_assistant", "content": "Things working well together will
{"role": "system", "name":"example_user", "content": "Let's circle back when we have more ban
{"role": "system", "name": "example_assistant", "content": "Let's talk later when we're less
{"role": "user", "content": "This late pivot means we don't have time to boil the ocean for t
],
temperature=0,
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

This sudden change in direction means we don't have enough time to complete the entire project

Not every attempt at engineering conversations will succeed at first.

If your first attempts fail, don't be afraid to experiment with different ways of priming or
conditioning the model.

As an example, one developer discovered an increase in accuracy when they inserted a user
message that said "Great job so far, these have been perfect" to help condition the model into
providing higher quality responses.

For more ideas on how to lift the reliability of the models, consider reading our guide on
techniques to increase reliability. It was written for non-chat models, but many of its principles
still apply.
4. Counting tokens

When you submit your request, the API transforms the messages into a sequence of tokens.

The number of tokens used affects:

the cost of the request

the time it takes to generate the response

when the reply gets cut off from hitting the maximum token limit (4,096 for gpt-3.5-turbo
or 8,192 for gpt-4 )

You can use the following function to count the number of tokens that a list of messages will
use.

Note that the exact way that tokens are counted from messages may change from model to
model. Consider the counts from the function below an estimate, not a timeless guarantee.

In particular, requests that use the optional functions input will consume extra tokens on top of
the estimates calculated below.

Read more about counting tokens in How to count tokens with tiktoken.

import tiktoken

def num_tokens_from_messages(messages, model="gpt-3.5-turbo-0613"):

We use a simple k-means algorithm to demonstrate how clustering can be done. Clustering can
help discover valuable, hidden groupings within the data. The dataset is created in the

import pandas as pd
from ast import literal_eval

# load data
datafile_path = "./data/fine_food_reviews_with_embeddings_1k.csv"

Multiclass Classification for Transactions


Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Oct 19, 2022

For this notebook we will be looking to classify a public dataset of transactions into a number of
categories that we have predefined. These approaches should be replicable to any multiclass
classification use case where we are trying to fit transactional data into predefined categories,
and by the end of running through this you should have a few approaches for dealing with both
labelled and unlabelled datasets.

The different approaches we'll be taking in this notebook are:

Zero-shot Classification: First we'll do zero shot classification to put transactions in one of
five named buckets using only a prompt for guidance

Classification with Embeddings: Following this we'll create embeddings on a labelled


dataset, and then use a traditional classification model to test their effectiveness at
identifying our categories

Fine-tuned Classification: Lastly we'll produce a fine-tuned model trained on our labelled
dataset to see how this compares to the zero-shot and few-shot classification approaches

Zero-shot Classification

We'll first assess the performance of the base models at classifying these transactions using a
simple prompt. We'll provide the model with 5 categories and a catch-all of "Could not classify"
for ones that it cannot place.

zero_shot_prompt = '''You are a data expert working for the National Library of Scotland.
You are analysing all transactions over £25,000 in value and classifying them into one of five catego
The five categories are Building Improvement, Literature & Archive, Utility Bills, Professional Servi
If you can't tell what it is, say Could not classify

Transaction:

Supplier: SUPPLIER_NAME
Description: DESCRIPTION_TEXT
Value: TRANSACTION_VALUE

The classification is:'''

# Get a test transaction


transaction = transactions.iloc[0]

# Interpolate the values into the prompt


prompt = zero_shot_prompt.replace('SUPPLIER_NAME',transaction['Supplier'])
prompt = prompt.replace('DESCRIPTION_TEXT',transaction['Description'])
prompt = prompt.replace('TRANSACTION_VALUE',str(transaction['Transaction value (£)']))

# Use our completion function to return a prediction


completion_response = request_completion(prompt)
print(completion_response.choices[0].text)

Building Improvement

Our first attempt is correct, M & J Ballantyne Ltd are a house builder and the work they
performed is indeed Building Improvement.

Lets expand the sample size to 25 and see how it performs, again with just a simple prompt to
guide it

Initial results are pretty good even with no labelled examples! The ones that it could not classify
were tougher cases with few clues as to their topic, but maybe if we clean up the labelled
dataset to give more examples we can get better performance.

Classification with Embeddings

Lets create embeddings from the small set that we've classified so far - we've made a set of
labelled examples by running the zero-shot classifier on 101 transactions from our dataset and
manually correcting the 15 Could not classify results that we got

Create embeddings

This initial section reuses the approach from the Get_embeddings_from_dataset Notebook to
create embeddings from a combined field concatenating all of our features

Performance for this model is pretty strong, so creating embeddings and using even a simpler
classifier looks like an effective approach as well, with the zero-shot classifier helping us do the
initial classification of the unlabelled dataset.

Lets take it one step further and see if a fine-tuned model trained on this same labelled datasets
gives us comparable results

Fine-tuned Transaction Classification

For this use case we're going to try to improve on the few-shot classification from above by
training a fine-tuned model on the same labelled set of 101 transactions and applying this fine-
tuned model on group of unseen transactions

Building Fine-tuned Classifier


We'll need to do some data prep first to get our data ready. This will take the following steps:

First we'll list out our classes and replace them with numeric identifiers. Making the model
predict a single token rather than multiple consecutive ones like 'Building Improvement'
should give us better results

We also need to add a common prefix and suffix to each example to aid the model in
making predictions - in our case our text is already started with 'Supplier' and we'll add a
suffix of '\n\n###\n\n'

Lastly we'll aid a leading whitespace onto each of our target classes for classification, again
to aid the model

Performance is not great - unfortunately this is expected. With only a few examples of each
class, the above approach with embeddings and a traditional classifier worked better.

A fine-tuned model works best with a great number of labelled observations. If we had a few
hundred or thousand we may get better results, but lets do one last test on a holdout set to
confirm that it doesn't generalise well to a new set of observations

Well those results were similarly underwhelming - so we've learned that with a dataset with a
small number of labelled observations, either zero-shot classification or traditional classification
with embeddings return better results than a fine-tuned model.

A fine-tuned model is still a great tool, but is more effective when you have a larger number of
labelled examples for each class that you're looking to classify

How to use the DALL·E API


Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Nov 3, 2022

This notebook shows how to use OpenAI's DALL·E image API endpoints.

There are three API endpoints:

Generations: generates an image or images based on an input caption

Edits: edits or extends an existing image

Variations: generates variations of an input image

Setup

Import the packages you'll need

Import your OpenAI API key: You can do this by running ` export OPENAI_API_KEY="your
API key" ` in your terminal.

Set a directory to save images to

# imports
from openai import OpenAI # OpenAI Python library to make API calls
import requests # used to download images
import os # used to access filepaths
from PIL import Image # used to print and edit images

# initialize OpenAI client


client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

# set a directory to save DALL·E images to


image_dir_name = "images"
image_dir = os.path.join(os.curdir, image_dir_name)
# create the directory if it doesn't yet exist
if not os.path.isdir(image_dir):
os.mkdir(image_dir)

# print the directory to save to


print(f"{image_dir=}")

image_dir='./images'

Generations

The generation API endpoint creates an image based on a text prompt. API Reference

Required inputs:

prompt (str): A text description of the desired image(s). The maximum length is 1000

characters for dall-e-2 and 4000 characters for dall-e-3.

Optional inputs:

model (str): The model to use for image generation. Defaults to dall-e-2

n (int): The number of images to generate. Must be between 1 and 10. Defaults to 1.

quality (str): The quality of the image that will be generated. hd creates images with finer
details and greater consistency across the image. This param is only supported for dall-e-3.

response_format (str): The format in which the generated images are returned. Must be

one of "url" or "b64_json". Defaults to "url".

size (str): The size of the generated images. Must be one of 256x256, 512x512, or
1024x1024 for dall-e-2. Must be one of 1024x1024, 1792x1024, or 1024x1792 for dall-e-3
models. Defaults to "1024x1024".

style (str | null): The style of the generated images. Must be one of vivid or natural. Vivid

causes the model to lean towards generating hyper-real and dramatic images. Natural
causes the model to produce more natural, less hyper-real looking images. This param is
only supported for dall-e-3.

user (str): A unique identifier representing your end-user, which will help OpenAI to

monitor and detect abuse. Learn more.


# create an image

# set the prompt


prompt = "A cyberpunk monkey hacker dreaming of a beautiful bunch of bananas, digital art"

# call the OpenAI API


generation_response = client.images.generate(
model = "dall-e-3"
prompt=prompt,
n=1,
size="1024x1024",
response_format="url",
)

# print response
print(generation_response)

ImagesResponse(created=1701994117, data=[Image(b64_json=None, revised_prompt=None, url='https:/

# save the image


generated_image_name = "generated_image.png" # any name you like; the filetype should be .png
generated_image_filepath = os.path.join(image_dir, generated_image_name)
generated_image_url = generation_response.data[0].url # extract image URL from response
generated_image = requests.get(generated_image_url).content # download the image

with open(generated_image_filepath, "wb") as image_file:


image_file.write(generated_image) # write the image to the file

# print the image


print(generated_image_filepath)
display(Image.open(generated_image_filepath))

Variations

The variations endpoint generates new images (variations) similar to an input image. API
Reference

Here we'll generate variations of the image generated above.

Required inputs:
image (str): The image to use as the basis for the variation(s). Must be a valid PNG file, less

than 4MB, and square.

Optional inputs:

model (str): The model to use for image variations. Only dall-e-2 is supported at this time.

n (int): The number of images to generate. Must be between 1 and 10. Defaults to 1.

size (str): The size of the generated images. Must be one of "256x256", "512x512", or

"1024x1024". Smaller images are faster. Defaults to "1024x1024".

response_format (str): The format in which the generated images are returned. Must be

one of "url" or "b64_json". Defaults to "url".

user (str): A unique identifier representing your end-user, which will help OpenAI to
monitor and detect abuse. Learn more.

# create variations

# call the OpenAI API, using `create_variation` rather than `create`


variation_response = client.images.create_variation(
image=generated_image, # generated_image is the image generated above
n=2,
size="1024x1024",
response_format="url",
)

# print response
print(variation_response)

ImagesResponse(created=1701994139, data=[Image(b64_json=None, revised_prompt=None, url='https:/

# save the images


variation_urls = [datum.url for datum in variation_response.data] # extract URLs
variation_images = [requests.get(url).content for url in variation_urls] # download images
variation_image_names = [f"variation_image_{i}.png" for i in range(len(variation_images))] # create

display(Image.open(generated_image_filepath))

# print the new variations


for variation_image_filepaths in variation_image_filepaths:
print(variation_image_filepaths)
display(Image.open(variation_image_filepaths))

Edits

The edit endpoint uses DALL·E to generate a specified portion of an existing image. Three inputs
are needed: the image to edit, a mask specifying the portion to be regenerated, and a prompt
describing the desired image. API Reference

Required inputs:

image (str): The image to edit. Must be a valid PNG file, less than 4MB, and square. If mask

is not provided, image must have transparency, which will be used as the mask.

prompt (str): A text description of the desired image(s). The maximum length is 1000

characters.

Optional inputs:

mask (file): An additional image whose fully transparent areas (e.g. where alpha is zero)

indicate where image should be edited. Must be a valid PNG file, less than 4MB, and have
the same dimensions as image.

model (str): The model to use for edit image. Only dall-e-2 is supported at this time.

n (int): The number of images to generate. Must be between 1 and 10. Defaults to 1.

size (str): The size of the generated images. Must be one of "256x256", "512x512", or
"1024x1024". Smaller images are faster. Defaults to "1024x1024".

response_format (str): The format in which the generated images are returned. Must be

one of "url" or "b64_json". Defaults to "url".

user (str): A unique identifier representing your end-user, which will help OpenAI to
monitor and detect abuse. Learn more.
Set Edit Area
An edit requires a "mask" to specify which portion of the image to regenerate. Any pixel with an
alpha of 0 (transparent) will be regenerated. The code below creates a 1024x1024 mask where
the bottom half is transparent.

# create a mask
width = 1024
height = 1024
mask = Image.new("RGBA", (width, height), (0, 0, 0, 1)) # create an opaque image mask

# set the bottom half to be transparent


for x in range(width):
for y in range(height // 2, height): # only loop over the bottom half of the mask
# set alpha (A) to zero to turn pixel transparent
alpha = 0
mask.putpixel((x, y), (0, 0, 0, alpha))

# save the mask


mask_name = "bottom_half_mask.png"
mask_filepath = os.path.join(image_dir, mask_name)
mask.save(mask_filepath)

Perform Edit

Now we supply our image, caption and mask to the API to get 5 examples of edits to our image

# edit an image

# call the OpenAI API


edit_response = client.images.edit(
image=open(generated_image_filepath, "rb"), # from the generation section
mask=open(mask_filepath, "rb"), # from right above
prompt=prompt, # from the generation section
n=1,
size="1024x1024",
response_format="url",
)

# print response
print(edit_response)

ImagesResponse(created=1701994167, data=[Image(b64_json=None, revised_prompt=None, url='https:/

# save the image


edited_image_name = "edited_image.png" # any name you like; the filetype should be .png
edited_image_filepath = os.path.join(image_dir, edited_image_name)
edited_image_url = edit_response.data[0].url # extract image URL from response
edited_image = requests.get(edited_image_url).content # download the image

with open(edited_image_filepath, "wb") as image_file:


image_file.write(edited_image) # write the image to the file

# print the original image


print(generated_image_filepath)
display(Image.open(generated_image_filepath))

# print edited image

Named Entity Recognition to Enrich Text


D. Carpintero
Open in Github
Oct 19, 2023

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a Natural Language Processing task that identifies and

classifies named entities (NE) into predefined semantic categories (such as persons,
organizations, locations, events, time expressions, and quantities). By converting raw text into
structured information, NER makes data more actionable, facilitating tasks like information
extraction, data aggregation, analytics, and social media monitoring.

This notebook demonstrates how to carry out NER with chat completion and functions-calling
to enrich a text with links to a knowledge base such as Wikipedia:

Text:

In Germany, in 1440, goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press. His
work led to an information revolution and the unprecedented mass-spread of literature
throughout Europe. Modelled on the design of the existing screw presses, a single Renaissance
movable-type printing press could produce up to 3,600 pages per workday.

2. Define the NER labels to be Identified

We define a standard set of NER labels to showcase a wide range of use cases. However, for our
specific task of enriching text with knowledge base links, only a subset is practically required.

labels = [
"person", # people, including fictional characters
"fac", # buildings, airports, highways, bridges
"org", # organizations, companies, agencies, institutions
"gpe", # geopolitical entities like countries, cities, states
"loc", # non-gpe locations
"product", # vehicles, foods, appareal, appliances, software, toys
"event", # named sports, scientific milestones, historical events
"work_of_art", # titles of books, songs, movies
"law", # named laws, acts, or legislations
"language", # any named language
"date", # absolute or relative dates or periods
"time", # time units smaller than a day
"percent", # percentage (e.g., "twenty percent", "18%")
"money", # monetary values, including unit
"quantity", # measurements, e.g., weight or distance
]

3. Prepare messages

The chat completions API takes a list of messages as input and delivers a model-generated
message as an output. While the chat format is primarily designed for facilitating multi-turn
conversations, it is equally efficient for single-turn tasks without any preceding conversation. For
our purposes, we will specify a message for the system, assistant, and user roles.

3.1 System Message

The system message (prompt) sets the assistant's behavior by defining its desired persona and
task. We also delineate the specific set of entity labels we aim to identify.

Although one can instruct the model to format its response, it has to be noted that both gpt-
3.5-turbo-0613 and gpt-4-0613 have been fine-tuned to discern when a function should be

invoked, and to reply with JSON formatted according to the function's signature. This capability
streamlines our prompt and enables us to receive structured data directly from the model.

def system_message(labels):
return f"""
You are an expert in Natural Language Processing. Your task is to identify common Named Entities (NER
The possible common Named Entities (NER) types are exclusively: ({", ".join(labels)})."""

3.2 Assistant Message

Assistant messages usually store previous assistant responses. However, as in our scenario,

they can also be crafted to provide examples of the desired behavior. While OpenAI is able to
execute zero-shot Named Entity Recognition, we have found that a one-shot approach
produces more precise results.

def assisstant_message():
return f"""
EXAMPLE:
Text: 'In Germany, in 1440, goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press
of literature throughout Europe. Modelled on the design of the existing screw presses, a single R
{{
"gpe": ["Germany", "Europe"],
"date": ["1440"],
"person": ["Johannes Gutenberg"],
"product": ["movable-type printing press"],
"event": ["Renaissance"],
"quantity": ["3,600 pages"],
"time": ["workday"]
}}
--"""

3.3 User Message

The user message provides the specific text for the assistant task:

def user_message(text):
return f"""
TASK:
Text: {text}
"""

4. OpenAI Functions (and Utils)

In an OpenAI API call, we can describe functions to gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 and gpt-4-0613 and
have the model intelligently choose to output a JSON object containing arguments to call those
functions . It's important to note that the chat completions API doesn't actually execute the

function . Instead, it provides the JSON output, which can then be used to call the function

in our code. For more details, refer to the OpenAI Function Calling Guide.

Our function, enrich_entities(text, label_entities) gets a block of text and a dictionary


containing identified labels and entities as parameters. It then associates the recognized entities
with their corresponding links to the Wikipedia articles.
@retry(wait=wait_random_exponential(min=1, max=10), stop=stop_after_attempt(5))
def find_link(entity: str) -> Optional[str]:
"""
Finds a Wikipedia link for a given entity.
"""
try:
titles = wikipedia.search(entity)
if titles:
# naively consider the first result as the best
page = wikipedia.page(titles[0])
return page.url
except (wikipedia.exceptions.WikipediaException) as ex:
logging.error(f'Error occurred while searching for Wikipedia link for entity {entity}: {str(e

return None

def find_all_links(label_entities:dict) -> dict:


"""
Finds all Wikipedia links for the dictionary entities in the whitelist label list.
"""
whitelist = ['event', 'gpe', 'org', 'person', 'product', 'work_of_art']

return {e: find_link(e) for label, entities in label_entities.items()


for e in entities
if label in whitelist}

def enrich_entities(text: str, label_entities: dict) -> str:


"""
Enriches text with knowledge base links.
"""
entity_link_dict = find_all_links(label_entities)
logging.info(f"entity_link_dict: {entity_link_dict}")

for entity, link in entity_link_dict.items():


text = text.replace(entity, f"[{entity}]({link})")

return text

4. ChatCompletion

As previously highlighted, gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 and gpt-4-0613 have been fine-tuned to


detect when a function should to be called. Moreover, they can produce a JSON response
that conforms to the function signature. Here's the sequence we follow:

1. Define our function and its associated JSON Schema.

2. Invoke the model using the messages , tools and tool_choice parameters.
3. Convert the output into a JSON object, and then call the function with the arguments
provided by the model.

In practice, one might want to re-invoke the model again by appending the function response
as a new message, and let the model summarize the results back to the user. Nevertheless, for
our purposes, this step is not needed.

Note that in a real-case scenario it is strongly recommended to build in user confirmation flows
before taking actions.

4.1 Define our Function and JSON schema

Since we want the model to output a dictionary of labels and recognized entities:

{
"gpe": ["Germany", "Europe"],
"date": ["1440"],
"person": ["Johannes Gutenberg"],
"product": ["movable-type printing press"],
"event": ["Renaissance"],
"quantity": ["3,600 pages"],
"time": ["workday"]
}

we need to define the corresponding JSON schema to be passed to the tools parameter:

def generate_functions(labels: dict) -> list:


return [
{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "enrich_entities",
"description": "Enrich Text with Knowledge Base Links",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"r'^(?:' + '|'.join({labels}) + ')$'":
{
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string"
}
}
},
"additionalProperties": False
},
}
}
]

4.2 Chat Completion

Now, we invoke the model. It's important to note that we direct the API to use a specific
function by setting the tool_choice parameter to {"type": "function", "function" :
{"name": "enrich_entities"}} .

@retry(wait=wait_random_exponential(min=1, max=10), stop=stop_after_attempt(5))


def run_openai_task(labels, text):
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": system_message(labels=labels)},
{"role": "assistant", "content": assisstant_message()},
{"role": "user", "content": user_message(text=text)}
]

# TODO: functions and function_call are deprecated, need to be updated


# See: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create#chat-create-tools
response = openai.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo-0613",
messages=messages,
tools=generate_functions(labels),
tool_choice={"type": "function", "function" : {"name": "enrich_entities"}},
temperature=0,
frequency_penalty=0,
presence_penalty=0,
)

response_message = response.choices[0].message

available_functions = {"enrich_entities": enrich_entities}


function_name = response_message.tool_calls[0].function.name

function_to_call = available_functions[function_name]
logging.info(f"function_to_call: {function_to_call}")

function_args = json.loads(response_message.tool_calls[0].function.arguments)
logging.info(f"function_args: {function_args}")

function_response = function_to_call(text, function_args)

return {"model_response": response,


"function_response": function_response}

5. Let's Enrich a Text with Wikipedia links

5.3 Token Usage

To estimate the inference costs, we can parse the response's "usage" field. Detailed token costs
per model are available in the OpenAI Pricing Guide:

# estimate inference cost assuming gpt-3.5-turbo (4K context)


i_tokens = result["model_response"].usage.prompt_tokens
o_tokens = result["model_response"].usage.completion_tokens

i_cost = (i_tokens / 1000) * 0.0015


o_cost = (o_tokens / 1000) * 0.002

print(f"""Token Usage

Retrieval augmented generation using


Elasticsearch and OpenAI
Liam Thompson
Open in Github
Aug 28, 2023

Open in Colab

This notebook demonstrates how to:

Index the OpenAI Wikipedia vector dataset into Elasticsearch

Embed a question with the OpenAI embeddings endpoint

Perform semantic search on the Elasticsearch index using the encoded question

Send the top search results to the OpenAI Chat Completions API endpoint for retrieval
augmented generation (RAG)

ℹ️ If you've already worked through our semantic search notebook, you can skip ahead to the
final step!

Install packages and import modules

# install packages

!python3 -m pip install -qU openai pandas wget elasticsearch

# import modules

from getpass import getpass


from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, helpers
import wget
import zipfile
import pandas as pd
import json
import openai

Connect to Elasticsearch

ℹ️ We're using an Elastic Cloud deployment of Elasticsearch for this notebook. If you don't
already have an Elastic deployment, you can sign up for a free Elastic Cloud trial.

To connect to Elasticsearch, you need to create a client instance with the Cloud ID and password
for your deployment.

Find the Cloud ID for your deployment by going to https://cloud.elastic.co/deployments and


selecting your deployment.

CLOUD_ID = getpass("Elastic deployment Cloud ID")


CLOUD_PASSWORD = getpass("Elastic deployment Password")
client = Elasticsearch(
cloud_id = CLOUD_ID,
basic_auth=("elastic", CLOUD_PASSWORD) # Alternatively use `api_key` instead of `basic_auth`
)

# Test connection to Elasticsearch


print(client.info())

{'name': 'instance-0000000001', 'cluster_name': '29ef9817e13142f5ba0ea7b29c2a86e2', 'cluster_uu

Download the dataset

In this step we download the OpenAI Wikipedia embeddings dataset, and extract the zip file.

embeddings_url = 'https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde
wget.download(embeddings_url)

with zipfile.ZipFile("vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.zip",
"r") as zip_ref:
zip_ref.extractall("data")

Read CSV file into a Pandas DataFrame.


Next we use the Pandas library to read the unzipped CSV file into a DataFrame. This step makes
it easier to index the data into Elasticsearch in bulk.

wikipedia_dataframe = pd.read_csv("data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv")

Create index with mapping

Now we need to create an Elasticsearch index with the necessary mappings. This will enable us
to index the data into Elasticsearch.

We use the dense_vector field type for the title_vector and content_vector fields. This is a
special field type that allows us to store dense vectors in Elasticsearch.

Later, we'll need to target the dense_vector field for kNN search.

index_mapping= {
"properties": {
"title_vector": {
"type": "dense_vector",
"dims": 1536,
"index": "true",
"similarity": "cosine"
},
"content_vector": {
"type": "dense_vector",
"dims": 1536,
"index": "true",
"similarity": "cosine"
},
"text": {"type": "text"},
"title": {"type": "text"},
"url": { "type": "keyword"},
"vector_id": {"type": "long"}

}
}

client.indices.create(index="wikipedia_vector_index", mappings=index_mapping)

Index data into Elasticsearch

The following function generates the required bulk actions that can be passed to Elasticsearch's
Bulk API, so we can index multiple documents efficiently in a single request.
For each row in the DataFrame, the function yields a dictionary representing a single document
to be indexed.

def dataframe_to_bulk_actions(df):
for index, row in df.iterrows():
yield {
"_index": 'wikipedia_vector_index',
"_id": row['id'],
"_source": {
'url' : row["url"],
'title' : row["title"],
'text' : row["text"],
'title_vector' : json.loads(row["title_vector"]),
'content_vector' : json.loads(row["content_vector"]),
'vector_id' : row["vector_id"]
}
}

As the dataframe is large, we will index data in batches of 100 . We index the data into
Elasticsearch using the Python client's helpers for the bulk API.

start = 0
end = len(wikipedia_dataframe)
batch_size = 100
for batch_start in range(start, end, batch_size):
batch_end = min(batch_start + batch_size, end)
batch_dataframe = wikipedia_dataframe.iloc[batch_start:batch_end]
actions = dataframe_to_bulk_actions(batch_dataframe)
helpers.bulk(client, actions)

Let's test the index with a simple match query.

print(client.search(index="wikipedia_vector_index", body={
"_source": {
"excludes": ["title_vector", "content_vector"]
},
"query": {
"match": {
"text": {
"query": "Hummingbird"
}
}
}
}))

print(client.search(index="wikipedia_vector_index", body={

Encode a question with OpenAI embedding model

To perform kNN search, we need to encode queries with the same embedding model used to
encode the documents at index time. In this example, we need to use the text-embedding-3-
small model.

You'll need your OpenAI API key to generate the embeddings.

# Get OpenAI API key


OPENAI_API_KEY = getpass("Enter OpenAI API key")

# Set API key


openai.api_key = OPENAI_API_KEY

# Define model
EMBEDDING_MODEL = "text-embedding-3-small"

# Define question
question = 'Is the Atlantic the biggest ocean in the world?'

# Create embedding
question_embedding = openai.Embedding.create(input=question, model=EMBEDDING_MODEL)

Run semantic search queries

Now we're ready to run queries against our Elasticsearch index using our encoded question.
We'll be doing a k-nearest neighbors search, using the Elasticsearch kNN query option.

First, we define a small function to pretty print the results.

# Function to pretty print Elasticsearch results

def pretty_response(response):
for hit in response['hits']['hits']:
id = hit['_id']
score = hit['_score']
title = hit['_source']['title']
text = hit['_source']['text']
pretty_output = (f"\nID: {id}\nTitle: {title}\nSummary: {text}\nScore: {score}")
print(pretty_output)

Now let's run our kNN query.

response = client.search(
index = "wikipedia_vector_index",
knn={
"field": "content_vector",
"query_vector": question_embedding["data"][0]["embedding"],
"k": 10,
"num_candidates": 100
}
)
pretty_response(response)

top_hit_summary = response['hits']['hits'][0]['_source']['text'] # Store content of top hit for final

Success! We've used kNN to perform semantic search over our dataset and found the top
results.
Now we can use the Chat Completions API to work some generative AI magic using the top
search result as additional context.

Use Chat Completions API for retrieval augmented generation

Now we can send the question and the text to OpenAI's chat completion API.

Using a LLM model together with a retrieval model is known as retrieval augmented generation
(RAG). We're using Elasticsearch to do what it does best, retrieve relevant documents. Then we
use the LLM to do what it does best, tasks like generating summaries and answering questions,
using the retrieved documents as context.

The model will generate a response to the question, using the top kNN hit as context. Use the
messages list to shape your prompt to the model. In this example, we're using the gpt-3.5-

turbo model.

summary = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Answer the following question:"
+ question
+ "by using the following text:"
+ top_hit_summary},
]
)

choices = summary.choices

for choice in choices:


print("------------------------------------------------------------")
print(choice.message.content)
print("------------------------------------------------------------")

------------------------------------------------------------
No, the Atlantic Ocean is not the biggest ocean in the world. It is the second largest ocean, c
------------------------------------------------------------

Code explanation

Here's what that code does:


Uses OpenAI's model to generate a response

Sends a conversation containing a system message and a user message to the model

The system message sets the assistant's role as "helpful assistant"

The user message contains a question as specified in the original kNN query and some
input text

The response from the model is stored in the summary.choices variable

Next steps

That was just one example of how to combine Elasticsearch with the power of OpenAI's models,
to enable retrieval augmented generation. RAG allows you to avoid the costly and complex
process of training or fine-tuning models, by leveraging out-of-the-box models, enhanced with
additional context.

Use this as a blueprint for your own experiments.

To adapt the conversation for different use cases, customize the system message to define the
assistant's behavior or persona. Adjust the user message to specify the task, such as
summarization or question answering, along with the desired format of the response.

Azure embeddings example


Ted Sanders, Christian Mürtz, Gerardo Lecaros, et al.
Open in Github
Jul 11, 2022

This example will cover embeddings using the Azure OpenAI service.

Setup

First, we install the necessary dependencies and import the libraries we will be using.

! pip install "openai>=1.0.0,<2.0.0"


! pip install python-dotenv

import os
import openai
import dotenv

dotenv.load_dotenv()

Authentication

The Azure OpenAI service supports multiple authentication mechanisms that include API keys
and Azure Active Directory token credentials.

use_azure_active_directory = False # Set this flag to True if you are using Azure Active Directory

Authentication using API key

To set up the OpenAI SDK to use an Azure API Key, we need to set api_key to a key associated
with your endpoint (you can find this key in "Keys and Endpoints" under "Resource Management"
in the Azure Portal). You'll also find the endpoint for your resource here.
if not use_azure_active_directory:
endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"]
api_key = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"]

client = openai.AzureOpenAI(
azure_endpoint=endpoint,
api_key=api_key,
api_version="2023-09-01-preview"
)

Authentication using Azure Active Directory

Let's now see how we can autheticate via Azure Active Directory. We'll start by installing the
azure-identity library. This library will provide the token credentials we need to authenticate
and help us build a token credential provider through the get_bearer_token_provider helper
function. It's recommended to use get_bearer_token_provider over providing a static token to
AzureOpenAI because this API will automatically cache and refresh tokens for you.

For more information on how to set up Azure Active Directory authentication with Azure
OpenAI, see the documentation.

! pip install "azure-identity>=1.15.0"

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, get_bearer_token_provider

if use_azure_active_directory:
endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"]
api_key = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"]

client = openai.AzureOpenAI(
azure_endpoint=endpoint,
azure_ad_token_provider=get_bearer_token_provider(DefaultAzureCredential(), "https://cognitiv
api_version="2023-09-01-preview"
)

“Note: the AzureOpenAI infers the following arguments from their corresponding
environment variables if they are not provided:”

api_key from AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY

azure_ad_token from AZURE_OPENAI_AD_TOKEN


api_version from OPENAI_API_VERSION

azure_endpoint from AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT

Deployments

In this section we are going to create a deployment of a model that we can use to create
embeddings.

Deployments: Create in the Azure OpenAI Studio

Let's deploy a model to use with embeddings. Go to https://portal.azure.com, find your Azure
OpenAI resource, and then navigate to the Azure OpenAI Studio. Click on the "Deployments"
tab and then create a deployment for the model you want to use for embeddings. The
deployment name that you give the model will be used in the code below.

deployment = "" # Fill in the deployment name from the portal here

Embeddings

Now let's create embeddings using the client we built.

embeddings = client.embeddings.create(
model=deployment,

Customizing embeddings
Ted Sanders, Boris Power
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

This notebook demonstrates one way to customize OpenAI embeddings to a particular task.

The input is training data in the form of [text_1, text_2, label] where label is +1 if the pairs are
similar and -1 if the pairs are dissimilar.

The output is a matrix that you can use to multiply your embeddings. The product of this
multiplication is a 'custom embedding' that will better emphasize aspects of the text relevant to
your use case. In binary classification use cases, we've seen error rates drop by as much as 50%.

In the following example, I use 1,000 sentence pairs picked from the SNLI corpus. Each pair of
sentences are logically entailed (i.e., one implies the other). These pairs are our positives (label =
1). We generate synthetic negatives by combining sentences from different pairs, which are
presumed to not be logically entailed (label = -1).

For a clustering use case, you can generate positives by creating pairs from texts in the same
clusters and generate negatives by creating pairs from sentences in different clusters.

With other data sets, we have seen decent improvement with as little as ~100 training
examples. Of course, performance will be better with more examples.

1. Inputs

Most inputs are here. The key things to change are where to load your datset from, where to
save a cache of embeddings to, and which embedding engine you want to use.

Depending on how your data is formatted, you'll want to rewrite the process_input_data
function.

# input parameters
embedding_cache_path = "data/snli_embedding_cache.pkl" # embeddings will be saved/loaded here
default_embedding_engine = "text-embedding-3-small"
num_pairs_to_embed = 1000 # 1000 is arbitrary

3. Split data into training test sets

Note that it's important to split data into training and test sets before generating synethetic
negatives or positives. You don't want any text strings in the training data to show up in the test
data. If there's contamination, the test metrics will look better than they'll actually be in
production.

# split data into train and test sets


test_fraction = 0.5 # 0.5 is fairly arbitrary

df, test_size=test_fraction, stratify=df["label"], random_state=random_seed
)
train_df.loc[:, "dataset"] = "train"
test_df.loc[:, "dataset"] = "test"

4. Generate synthetic negatives

This is another piece of the code that you will need to modify to match your use case.

If you have data with positives and negatives, you can skip this section.

If you have data with only positives, you can mostly keep it as is, where it generates negatives
only.
If you have multiclass data, you will want to generate both positives and negatives. The
positives can be pairs of text that share labels, and the negatives can be pairs of text that do not
share labels.

The final output should be a dataframe with text pairs, where each pair is labeled -1 or 1.

# generate negatives
def dataframe_of_negatives(dataframe_of_positives: pd.DataFrame) -> pd.DataFrame:
"""Return dataframe of negative pairs made by combining elements of positive pairs."""
texts = set(dataframe_of_positives["text_1"].values) | set(
dataframe_of_positives["text_2"].values
)
all_pairs = {(t1, t2) for t1 in texts for t2 in texts if t1 < t2}
positive_pairs = set(
tuple(text_pair)
for text_pair in dataframe_of_positives[["text_1", "text_2"]].values
)
negative_pairs = all_pairs - positive_pairs
df_of_negatives = pd.DataFrame(list(negative_pairs), columns=["text_1", "text_2"])
df_of_negatives["label"] = -1
return df_of_negatives

negatives_per_positive = (
1 # it will work at higher values too, but more data will be slower
)
# generate negatives for training dataset
train_df_negatives = dataframe_of_negatives(train_df)
train_df_negatives["dataset"] = "train"
# generate negatives for test dataset
test_df_negatives = dataframe_of_negatives(test_df)
test_df_negatives["dataset"] = "test"
# sample negatives and combine with positives
train_df = pd.concat(
[
train_df,
train_df_negatives.sample(
n=len(train_df) * negatives_per_positive, random_state=random_seed
),
]
)
test_df = pd.concat(
[
test_df,
test_df_negatives.sample(
n=len(test_df) * negatives_per_positive, random_state=random_seed
),
]
)

df = pd.concat([train_df, test_df])
5. Calculate embeddings and cosine similarities

Here, I create a cache to save the embeddings. This is handy so that you don't have to pay again
if you want to run the code again.

# establish a cache of embeddings to avoid recomputing


# cache is a dict of tuples (text, engine) -> embedding
try:
with open(embedding_cache_path, "rb") as f:
embedding_cache = pickle.load(f)
except FileNotFoundError:
precomputed_embedding_cache_path = "https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/snli_embedding_cache
embedding_cache = pd.read_pickle(precomputed_embedding_cache_path)

# this function will get embeddings from the cache and save them there afterward
def get_embedding_with_cache(
text: str,
engine: str = default_embedding_engine,
embedding_cache: dict = embedding_cache,
embedding_cache_path: str = embedding_cache_path,
) -> list:
if (text, engine) not in embedding_cache.keys():
# if not in cache, call API to get embedding
embedding_cache[(text, engine)] = get_embedding(text, engine)
# save embeddings cache to disk after each update
with open(embedding_cache_path, "wb") as embedding_cache_file:
pickle.dump(embedding_cache, embedding_cache_file)
return embedding_cache[(text, engine)]

# create column of embeddings


for column in ["text_1", "text_2"]:
df[f"{column}_embedding"] = df[column].apply(get_embedding_with_cache)

# create column of cosine similarity between embeddings


df["cosine_similarity"] = df.apply(
lambda row: cosine_similarity(row["text_1_embedding"], row["text_2_embedding"]),
axis=1,
)

6. Plot distribution of cosine similarity

Here we measure similarity of text using cosine similarity. In our experience, most distance
functions (L1, L2, cosine similarity) all work about the same. Note that our embeddings are
already normalized to length 1, so cosine similarity is equivalent to dot product.
The graphs show how much the overlap there is between the distribution of cosine similarities
for similar and dissimilar pairs. If there is a high amount of overlap, that means there are some
dissimilar pairs with greater cosine similarity than some similar pairs.

The accuracy I compute is the accuracy of a simple rule that predicts 'similar (1)' if the cosine
similarity is above some threshold X and otherwise predicts 'dissimilar (0)'.

# calculate accuracy (and its standard error) of predicting label=1 if similarity>x


# x is optimized by sweeping from -1 to 1 in steps of 0.01
def accuracy_and_se(cosine_similarity: float, labeled_similarity: int) -> Tuple[float]:
accuracies = []
for threshold_thousandths in range(-1000, 1000, 1):
threshold = threshold_thousandths / 1000
total = 0
correct = 0
for cs, ls in zip(cosine_similarity, labeled_similarity):
total += 1
if cs > threshold:
prediction = 1
else:
prediction = -1
if prediction == ls:
correct += 1
accuracy = correct / total
accuracies.append(accuracy)
a = max(accuracies)
n = len(cosine_similarity)
standard_error = (a * (1 - a) / n) ** 0.5 # standard error of binomial
return a, standard_error

# check that training and test sets are balanced


px.histogram(
df,
x="cosine_similarity",
color="label",
barmode="overlay",
width=500,
facet_row="dataset",
).show()

for dataset in ["train", "test"]:

May 9, 2023

Azure Data Explorer aka Kusto is a cloud-based data analytics service that enables users to
perform advanced analytics on large datasets in real-time. It is particularly well-suited for
handling large volumes of data, making it an excellent choice for storing and searching vectors.

Kusto supports a special data type called dynamic, which can store unstructured data such as
arrays and properties bag. Dynamic data type is perfect for storing vector values. You can
further augment the vector value by storing metadata related to the original object as separate
columns in your table.
Kusto also supports in-built function series_cosine_similarity_fl to perform vector similarity
searches.

Zero-shot classification with embeddings


Boris Power, Ted Sanders, Logan Kilpatrick
Open in Github
Mar 9, 2022

In this notebook we will classify the sentiment of reviews using embeddings and zero labeled
data! The dataset is created in the Get_embeddings_from_dataset Notebook.

We'll define positive sentiment to be 4- and 5-star reviews, and negative sentiment to be 1- and
2-star reviews. 3-star reviews are considered neutral and we won't use them for this example.

We will perform zero-shot classification by embedding descriptions of each class and then
comparing new samples to those class embeddings.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from ast import literal_eval

from sklearn.metrics import classification_report

EMBEDDING_MODEL = "text-embedding-3-small"

datafile_path = "data/fine_food_reviews_with_embeddings_1k.csv"

df = pd.read_csv(datafile_path)
df["embedding"] = df.embedding.apply(literal_eval).apply(np.array)

# convert 5-star rating to binary sentiment


df = df[df.Score != 3]
df["sentiment"] = df.Score.replace({1: "negative", 2: "negative", 4: "positive", 5: "positive"})

Zero-Shot Classification
To perform zero shot classification, we want to predict labels for our samples without any
training. To do this, we can simply embed short descriptions of each label, such as positive and
negative, and then compare the cosine distance between embeddings of samples and label
descriptions.
The highest similarity label to the sample input is the predicted label. We can also define a
prediction score to be the difference between the cosine distance to the positive and to the
negative label. This score can be used for plotting a precision-recall curve, which can be used to
select a different tradeoff between precision and recall, by selecting a different threshold.

from utils.embeddings_utils import cosine_similarity, get_embedding


from sklearn.metrics import PrecisionRecallDisplay

def evaluate_embeddings_approach(
labels = ['negative', 'positive'],
model = EMBEDDING_MODEL,
):
label_embeddings = [get_embedding(label, model=model) for label in labels]

def label_score(review_embedding, label_embeddings):


return cosine_similarity(review_embedding, label_embeddings[1]) - cosine_similarity(review_em

probas = df["embedding"].apply(lambda x: label_score(x, label_embeddings))


preds = probas.apply(lambda x: 'positive' if x>0 else 'negative')

report = classification_report(df.sentiment, preds)


print(report)

display = PrecisionRecallDisplay.from_predictions(df.sentiment, probas, pos_label='positive')


_ = display.ax_.set_title("2-class Precision-Recall curve")

evaluate_embeddings_approach(labels=['negative', 'positive'], model=EMBEDDING_MODEL)

precision recall f1-score support

negative 0.54 0.92 0.68 136


positive 0.98 0.87 0.92 789

accuracy 0.87 925


macro avg 0.76 0.89 0.80 925
weighted avg 0.92 0.87 0.89 925
We can see that this classifier already performs extremely well. We used similarity embeddings,
and the simplest possible label name. Let's try to improve on this by using more descriptive
label names, and search embeddings.

evaluate_embeddings_approach(labels=['An Amazon review with a negative sentiment.', 'An Amazon review

precision recall f1-score support

negative 0.76 0.96 0.85 136

accuracy 0.95 925


macro avg 0.88 0.96 0.91 925
weighted avg 0.96 0.95 0.95 925

Using the search embeddings and descriptive names leads to an additional improvement in
performance.

evaluate_embeddings_approach(labels=['An Amazon review with a negative sentiment.', 'An Amazon review

precision recall f1-score support

negative 0.76 0.96 0.85 136

macro avg 0.88 0.96 0.91 925
weighted avg 0.96 0.95 0.95 925

As shown above, zero-shot classification with embeddings can lead to great results, especially
when the labels are more descriptive than just simple words.

Visualizing embeddings in 3D
Boris Power, Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Mar 10, 2022

The example uses PCA to reduce the dimensionality fo the embeddings from 1536 to 3. Then
we can visualize the data points in a 3D plot. The small dataset dbpedia_samples.jsonl is
curated by randomly sampling 200 samples from DBpedia validation dataset.

1. Load the dataset and query embeddings

import pandas as pd
samples = pd.read_json("data/dbpedia_samples.jsonl", lines=True)
categories = sorted(samples["category"].unique())

Use cases for embeddings


Ted Sanders
Open in Github
Jan 19, 2023

The OpenAI API embeddings endpoint can be used to measure relatedness or similarity
between pieces of text.

By leveraging GPT-3's understanding of text, these embeddings achieved state-of-the-art


results on benchmarks in unsupervised learning and transfer learning settings.

Embeddings can be used for semantic search, recommendations, cluster analysis, near-duplicate
detection, and more.

For more information, read OpenAI's blog post announcements:

Introducing Text and Code Embeddings (Jan 2022)

New and Improved Embedding Model (Dec 2022)

For comparison with other embedding models, see Massive Text Embedding Benchmark
(MTEB) Leaderboard

Semantic search

Embeddings can be used for search either by themselves or as a feature in a larger system.

The simplest way to use embeddings for search is as follows:

Before the search (precompute):

Split your text corpus into chunks smaller than the token limit (8,191 tokens for text-
embedding-3-small )
Embed each chunk of text

Store those embeddings in your own database or in a vector search provider like
Pinecone, Weaviate or Qdrant

At the time of the search (live compute):

Embed the search query

Find the closest embeddings in your database

Return the top results

An example of how to use embeddings for search is shown in


Semantic_text_search_using_embeddings.ipynb.

In more advanced search systems, the cosine similarity of embeddings can be used as one
feature among many in ranking search results.

Question answering

The best way to get reliably honest answers from GPT-3 is to give it source documents in which
it can locate correct answers. Using the semantic search procedure above, you can cheaply
search through a corpus of documents for relevant information and then give that information
to GPT-3 via the prompt to answer a question. We demonstrate this in
Question_answering_using_embeddings.ipynb.

Recommendations

Recommendations are quite similar to search, except that instead of a free-form text query, the
inputs are items in a set.

An example of how to use embeddings for recommendations is shown in


Recommendation_using_embeddings.ipynb.

Similar to search, these cosine similarity scores can either be used on their own to rank items or
as features in larger ranking algorithms.
Customizing Embeddings

Although OpenAI's embedding model weights cannot be fine-tuned, you can nevertheless use
training data to customize embeddings to your application.

In Customizing_embeddings.ipynb, we provide an example method for customizing your


embeddings using training data. The idea of the method is to train a custom matrix to multiply
embedding vectors by in order to get new customized embeddings. With good training data,
this custom matrix will help emphasize the features relevant to your training labels. You can
equivalently consider the matrix multiplication as (a) a modification of the embeddings or (b) a
modification of the distance function used to measure the distances between embeddings.

Techniques to improve reliability

When GPT-3 fails on a task, what should you do?

Search for a better prompt that elicits more reliable answers?

Invest in thousands of examples to fine-tune a custom model?

Assume the model is incapable of the task, and move on?

There is no simple answer - it depends. However, if your task involves logical reasoning or
complexity, consider trying the techniques in this article to build more reliable, high-performing
prompts.

Why GPT-3 fails on complex tasks

If you were asked to multiply 13 by 17, would the answer pop immediately into your mind? For
most of us, probably not. Yet, that doesn't mean humans are incapable of two-digit
multiplication. With a few seconds, and some pen and paper, it's not too taxing to work out that
13 x 17 = 130 + 70 + 21 = 221.

Similarly, if you give GPT-3 a task that's too complex to do in the time it takes to calculate its
next token, it may confabulate an incorrect guess. Yet, akin to humans, that doesn't necessarily
mean the model is incapable of the task. With some time and space to reason things out, the
model still may be able to answer reliably.

As an example, if you ask gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct the following math problem about juggling
balls, it answers incorrectly:

Q: A juggler has 16 balls. Half of the balls are golf balls and half of the golf balls are blue. Ho
A:

There are 8 blue golf balls.

Does this mean that GPT-3 cannot do simple math problems? No; in fact, it turns out that by
prompting the model with Let's think step by step , the model solves the problem reliably:

Q: A juggler has 16 balls. Half of the balls are golf balls and half of the golf balls are blue. Ho
A: Let's think step by step.

There are 16 balls in total.


Half of the balls are golf balls.
That means that there are 8 golf balls.
Half of the golf balls are blue.
That means that there are 4 blue golf balls.

Of course, it's hard to tell from only a single example whether this Let's think step by step
trick actually works in general or just got lucky on this particular problem. But it really does
work. On a benchmark of word math problems, the Let's think step by step trick raised
GPT-3's solve rate massively, from a worthless 18% to a decent 79%!

Model capabilities depend on context

When learning to work with GPT-3, one common conceptual mistake is to believe that its
capabilities are fixed across all contexts. E.g., if GPT-3 gets a simple logic question wrong, then it
must be incapable of simple logic.

But as the Let's think step by step example illustrates, apparent failures of GPT-3 can
sometimes be remedied with a better prompt that helps the model steer itself toward the
correct output.

How to improve reliability on complex tasks


The rest of this article shares techniques for improving reliability of large language models on
complex tasks. Although some of the techniques are specific to certain types of problems, many
of them are built upon general principles that can be applied to a wide range of tasks, e.g.:

Give clearer instructions

Split complex tasks into simpler subtasks

Structure the instruction to keep the model on task

Prompt the model to explain before answering

Ask for justifications of many possible answers, and then synthesize

Generate many outputs, and then use the model to pick the best one

Fine-tune custom models to maximize performance

Split complex tasks into simpler tasks

One way to give a model more time and space to think is to break tasks into simpler pieces.

As an example, consider a task where we ask the model a multiple-choice question about some
text - in this case, a game of Clue. When asked directly, gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct isn't able to
put clues 3 & 5 together, and answers incorrectly:

Use the following clues to answer the following multiple-choice question.


Clues:
1. Miss Scarlett was the only person in the lounge.
2. The person with the pipe was in the kitchen.
3. Colonel Mustard was the only person in the observatory.
4. Professor Plum was not in the library nor the billiard room.
5. The person with the candlestick was in the observatory.
Question: Was Colonel Mustard in the observatory with the candlestick?
(a) Yes; Colonel Mustard was in the observatory with the candlestick
(b) No; Colonel Mustard was not in the observatory with the candlestick
(c) Unknown; there is not enough information to determine whether Colonel Mustard was in the observ
Solution:
(c) Unknown; there is not enough information to determine whether Colonel Mustard was in the observ

Although clues 3 and 5 establish that Colonel Mustard was the only person in the observatory
and that the person in the observatory had the candlestick, the model fails to combine them
into a correct answer of (a) Yes.

However, instead of asking for the answer directly, we can split the task into three pieces:

First, go through the clues one by one and consider whether the clue is potentially relevant

Second, combine the relevant clues to reason out the answer to the question

Third, write the final answer: either (a), (b), or (c)

Use the following clues to answer the following multiple-choice question, using the following proce
(1) First, go through the clues one by one and consider whether the clue is potentially relevant
(2) Second, combine the relevant clues to reason out the answer to the question
(3) Third, map the answer to one of the multiple choice answers: either (a), (b), or (c)
Clues:
1. Miss Scarlett was the only person in the lounge.
2. The person with the pipe was in the kitchen.
3. Colonel Mustard was the only person in the observatory.
4. Professor Plum was not in the library nor the billiard room.
5. The person with the candlestick was in the observatory.
Question: Was Colonel Mustard in the observatory with the candlestick?
(a) Yes; Colonel Mustard was in the observatory with the candlestick
(b) No; Colonel Mustard was not in the observatory with the candlestick
(c) Unknown; there is not enough information to determine whether Colonel Mustard was in the observ
Solution:
(1) First, go through the clues one by one and consider whether the clue is potentially relevant:
Clue 1: Miss Scarlett was the only person in the lounge. This clue is not relevant.
Clue 2: The person with the pipe was in the kitchen. This clue is not relevant.
Clue 3: Colonel Mustard was the only person in the observatory. This clue is relevant.
Clue 4: Professor Plum was not in the library nor the billiard room. This clue is not relevant.
Clue 5: The person with the candlestick was in the observatory. This clue is relevant.
(2) Second, combine the relevant clues to reason out the answer to the question:
Clue 3 and Clue 5 both say that the person with the candlestick was in the observatory. Colonel Mus
(3) Third, write the final answer:
(a) Yes; Colonel Mustard was in the observatory with the candlestick

By giving the model more time and space to think, and guiding it along a reasoning plan, it's
able to figure out the correct answer of (a) Yes.

Another benefit of splitting complex instructions into smaller subtasks is that it can help keep
the model focused on each subtask.

For example, if we ask gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct to summarize a text in its original language, the
model can lapse back into English:

Summarize the text using the original language of the text. The summary should be one sentence long
Text:
"""
La estadística (la forma femenina del término alemán Statistik, derivado a su vez del italiano stat
"""
Summary:

The text explains that statistics is a science that studies the variability, collection, organizati

However, if we first ask the model to identify the language of the text, and then summarize the
text, it becomes more reliable:
First, identify the language of the text. Second, summarize the text using the original language of
Text:
"""
La estadística (la forma femenina del término alemán Statistik, derivado a su vez del italiano stat
"""
Language:

Spanish
La estadística es una ciencia que estudia la variabilidad, colección, organización, análisis, inter

Prompt the model to explain before answering

Another powerful technique for improving the reliability of answers is to prompt the model to
gradually reason out the answer rather than jumping immediately to the final answer. By
'thinking aloud' the model can be far more likely to arrive at the correct answer.

Zero-shot
Method

Published by Takeshi Kojima et al. in 2022, the easiest way to prompt a model to reason out
the answer is to simply prepend answers with Let's think step by step. Figure 2 illustrates
an example:
Source: Large Language Models are Zero-Shot Reasoners by Takeshi Kojima et al. (2022).

Results

Applying this simple trick to the MultiArith math dataset, the authors found Let's think step
by step quadrupled the accuracy, from 18% to 79%!

Source: Large Language Models are Zero-Shot Reasoners by Takeshi Kojima et al. (2022).

Implications
Although the Let's think step by step trick works well on math problems, it's not effective
on all tasks. The authors found that it was most helpful for multi-step arithmetic problems,
symbolic reasoning problems, strategy problems, and other reasoning problems. It didn't help
with simple math problems or common sense questions, and presumably wouldn't help with
many other non-reasoning tasks either.

If you apply this technique to your own tasks, don't be afraid to experiment with customizing
the instruction. Let's think step by step is rather generic, so you may find better
performance with instructions that hew to a stricter format customized to your use case. For
example, you can try more structured variants like First, think step by step about why X
might be true. Second, think step by step about why Y might be true. Third, think step

by step about whether X or Y makes more sense. . And you can even give the model an

example format to help keep it on track, e.g.:

Using the IRS guidance below, answer the following questions using this format:
(1) For each criterion, determine whether it is met by the vehicle purchase
- {Criterion} Let's think step by step. {explanation} {yes or no, or if the question does not apply

Few-shot examples
Method

Prompting the model to reason out its answers can be done in many ways. One way is to
demonstrate with a few examples ('few-shot'), as studied by Jason Wei and Denny Zhou et al.
from Google. Here's an example few-shot chain-of-thought prompt:

and Denny Zhou et al. (2022)

More demonstrations of reasoning chains written by human labelers:

Results

Testing on grade school math problems, the authors found that chain of thought prompting
tripled the solve rate, from 18% to 57%.
Source: Chain of Thought Prompting Elicits Reasoning in Large Language Models Jason Wei
and Denny Zhou et al. (2022)

In addition to math problems, chain of thought prompting also lifted performance on questions
related to sports understanding, coin flip tracking, and last letter concatenation. In most cases,
not many examples were need to saturate the performance gains (less than 8 or so).

and Denny Zhou et al. (2022)

To learn more, read the full paper.

Implications

One advantage of the few-shot example-based approach relative to the Let's think step by
step technique is that you can more easily specify the format, length, and style of reasoning

that you want the model to perform before landing on its final answer. This can be particularly
helpful in cases where the model isn't initially reasoning in the right way or depth.

Fine-tuned
Method

In general, to eke out maximum performance on a task, you'll need to fine-tune a custom
model. However, fine-tuning a model using explanations may take thousands of example
explanations, which are costly to write.

In 2022, Eric Zelikman and Yuhuai Wu et al. published a clever procedure for using a few-shot
prompt to generate a dataset of explanations that could be used to fine-tune a model. The idea
is to use a few-shot prompt to generate candidate explanations, and only keep the explanations
that produce the correct answer. Then, to get additional explanations for some of the incorrect
answers, retry the few-shot prompt but with correct answers given as part of the question. The
authors called their procedure STaR (Self-taught Reasoner):

Source: STaR: Bootstrapping Reasoning With Reasoning by Eric Zelikman and Yujuai Wu et al.
(2022)

With this technique, you can combine the benefits of fine-tuning with the benefits of chain-of-
thought prompting without needing to write thousands of example explanations.

Results

When the authors applied this technique to a Common Sense Q&A dataset, they found that
STaR outperformed both chain-of-thought prompting alone (73% > 37%) and fine-tuning alone
(73% > 60%):

Implications

Using a few-shot prompt to extend or modify a fine-tuning dataset is an idea that can be
generalized beyond explanation writing. For example, if you have large quantities of
unstructured text that you want to train on, you may find opportunities to use a prompt to
extract a structured dataset from your unstructured text, and then fine-tune a custom model on
that structured dataset.

Extensions to chain-of-thought prompting

A number of extensions of chain-of-thought prompting have been published as well.

Selection-inference prompting
Method

Published by Antonia Creswell et al., one extension of the chain-of-thought technique is to split
the single prompt for generating explanations and answers into smaller parts. First, a prompt
selects a relevant subset of facts from the text ('selection prompt'). Then, a second prompt infers
a conclusion from the selected facts ('inference prompt'). These prompts are then alternated in
a loop to generate multiple steps of reasoning and eventually land on a final answer. The
authors illustrate the idea in the following figure:
Source: Selection-Inference: Exploiting Large Language Models for Interpretable Logical
Reasoning by Antonia Creswell et al. (2022)

Results

When applied to a 7B-parameter model, the authors found that selection-inference prompting
substantially improved performance relative to chain-of-thought prompting on the bAbi and
Proof Writer benchmark tasks (both of which require longer sequences of reasoning steps). The
best performance they achieved combined both selection-inference prompting with fine-tuning.
Source: Selection-Inference: Exploiting Large Language Models for Interpretable Logical
Reasoning by Antonia Creswell et al. (2022)

Implications

Although the gains on these benchmarks were large, these benchmarks were specifically chosen
because they required longer sequences of reasoning. On problems that don't require
reasoning with many steps, the gains are likely smaller.

The results highlight a couple of general lessons for working with large language models. One,
splitting up complex tasks into smaller tasks is a great way to improve reliability and
performance; the more atomic the task, the less room there is for the model to err. Two, getting
maximum performance often means combining fine-tuning with whatever approach you've
chosen.

Faithful reasoning architecture


A few months after publishing the selection-inference prompting technique, the authors
extended the technique in a follow-up paper, with ideas for:
figuring out when the selection-inference cycle should stop or continue

adding a value function to help search over multiple reasoning paths

reducing hallucination of fake facts by fine-tuning a model to reason about sentence labels
(e.g., sen1) rather than writing out the sentences themselves

Method

In the original selection-inference technique, specialized 'selection' and 'inference' prompts are
alternated to select facts and make inferences from those facts, combining to generate a
sequence of reasoning steps.

The authors extend this technique with two additional components.

First, the authors add a 'halter' model that, after each inference step, is asked whether the
inferences thus far are sufficient to answer the question. If yes, then the model generates a final
answer.

The halter models brings a couple of advantages:

it can tell the selection-inference process to stop or keep going, as necessary.

if the process never halts, you'll get no answer, which is often preferable to a hallucinated
guess
Source: Faithful Reasoning Using Large Language Models by Antonia Creswell et al. (2022)
Source: Faithful Reasoning Using Large Language Models by Antonia Creswell et al. (2022)

Second, the authors add a value function, which is used to assess the quality of reasoning steps
and search over multiple reasoning trajectories. This echoes a common theme for increasing
reliability; instead of generating a single answer from the model, generate a set of answers and
then use some type of value function / discriminator / verifier model to pick the best one.

Source: Faithful Reasoning Using Large Language Models by Antonia Creswell et al. (2022)

In addition to these two extensions, the authors also use a trick to reduce hallucination of fake
facts. Rather than asking the model to write out factual sentences, they fine-tune a model to
work with sentence labels (e.g., sen1) instead. This helps prevent the model from hallucinating
fake facts not mentioned in the prompt context.
Source: Faithful Reasoning Using Large Language Models by Antonia Creswell et al. (2022)

Results

The authors evaluated their technique on two benchmarks: the ProofWriter task (not shown)
and EntailmentBankQA (shown). The technique increased accuracy substantially, especially on
harder reasoning problems.

Implications

This paper illustrates a number of helpful lessons for improving the reliability of large language
models:

Split complex tasks into smaller, more reliable subtasks

Generate your answer in a step-by-step fashion, evaluating it along the way

Generate many possible answers and use another model or function to pick the ones that
look best

Reduce hallucination by constraining what the model can say (e.g., by using sentence labels
instead of sentences)

Maximize performance of models by fine-tuning them on specialized tasks

Least-to-most prompting
In addition to doing poorly on long reasoning chains (where selection-inference shines), chain-
of-thought prompting can especially struggle when the examples are short but the task is long.

Method

Least-to-most prompting is another technique that splits up reasoning tasks into smaller, more
reliable subtasks. The idea is to elicit a subtask from the model by prompting it with something
like To solve {question}, we need to first solve: " . Then, with that subtask in hand, the
model can generate a solution. The solution is appended to the original question and the
process is repeated until a final answer is produced.
Source: Least-to-most Prompting Enables Complex Reasoning in Large Language Models by
Denny Zhou et al. (2022)

Results

When applied to benchmarks involving long reasoning chains using code-davinci-002 (which
is optimized for code but can still understand text), the authors measured gains as large as 16%
-> 99.7%!

Source: Least-to-most Prompting Enables Complex Reasoning in Large Language Models by


Denny Zhou et al. (2022)

Implications

Although the above gains from least-to-most prompting are impressive, they are measured on
a very narrow set of tasks that require long reasoning chains.
Still, they illustrate a common theme: increase reliability by (a) breaking complex tasks into
smaller subtasks and (b) giving the model more time and space to work out the answer.

Maieutic prompting
Method

In contrast to the previous techniques, which try to maximize the likelihood of correct answers,
another approach is to use GPT-3 to generate a tree of possible explanations (both correct and
incorrect), and then analyze their relationships to guess at which set is correct. This technique
was coined maieutic prompting by Jaehun Jung et al. in May 2022 (maieutic means relating to
the Socratic method of asking questions to elicit ideas).

The method is complicated, and works as follows:

First, build a maieutic tree, where each node is a statement that could be true or false:

Start with a multiple-choice question or true/false statement (e.g. War cannot have a
tie )

For each possible answer to the question, use the model to generate a corresponding
explanation (with a prompt like War cannot have a tie? True, because )

Then, prompt the model with the question and the generated explanation, and ask it
to produce the answer. If reversing the explanation (with a prefix like It is wrong to
say that {explanation} ) reverses the answer, then the explanation is considered

'logically integral.'

If an explanation is not logically integral, then repeat the above process recursively,
with each explanation turned into a True or False question, and generate more
explanations for each new question.

After all of the recursive explaining is done, you end up with a tree of explanations,
where each leaf on the tree has the property that reversing the explanation reverses
the model's answer.
Second, convert the tree into a graph of relations:

For each node in the tree, calculate the model's relative belief in each node (inferred
from the probability of getting an answer of True to given an explanation)

For each pair of nodes in the tree, use the model to identify whether they are entailed
(implied) or contradicted

Third, find the most consistent set of beliefs and take those to be true:

Specifically, using the strength of belief in each node and the logical relationships
between them, formulate the problem as a weighted maximum satisfiability problem
(MAX-SAT)

Use a solver to the find the most self-consistent set of beliefs, and take those as true

Implications

Beyond the complexity, one limitation of this method is that it appears to only apply to
questions that can be posed as multiple-choice.

Extensions

Self-consistency
Method

For tasks with a discrete set of answers, one simple way to improve reliability is to sample
multiple explanations & answers from the model (using a positive temperature) and then pick
the final answer that appears most often.

Source: Self-Consistency Improves Chain of Thought Reasoning in Language Models by Xuezhi


Wang et al. (2022)

Results

This technique lifted accuracies by anywhere from 1 to 24 percentage points on a suite of math
and reasoning benchmarks. (Plotted below are results from Google's LaMDA model; using
Google's larger PaLM model, the baselines were higher but the gains were a bit smaller.)
Source: Self-Consistency Improves Chain of Thought Reasoning in Language Models by Xuezhi
Wang et al. (2022)

Implications

Although this technique is simple to implement, it can be costly. Generating a set of 10 answers
will increase your costs by 10x.

Also, as with many of these techniques, it applies only to tasks with a limited set of answers. For
open-ended tasks where each answer is unique (such as writing a poem), it's not obvious what
it would mean to pick the most common answer.

Lastly, this technique ought to be most beneficial when there are multiple paths or phrasings to
reach an answer; if there's only one path, then the technique may not help at all. An extreme
example: If the task was to generate a single token answer, then taking the most common token
from 100 generations would be no different than taking the token with the highest logprobs
(which you can get with a single generation at temperature=0).
Verifiers
Another key technique for improving task performance is to train a verifier or discriminator
model to evaluate the outputs of the main generative model. If the discriminator rejects the
output, then you can resample the generative model until you get an acceptable output. In
many cases, it's easier to judge an answer than it is to create an answer, which helps explain the
power of this method.

Method

In 2021, OpenAI researchers applied this technique to grade school math problems, using the
following procedure:

First, they fine-tuned a model on questions and solutions

For each problem in the training set, they generated 100 solutions

Each of those 100 solutions was automatically labeled as either correct or incorrect, based
on whether the final answer was correct

Using those solutions, with some labeled correct and some labeled incorrect, they fine-
tuned a verifier model to classify whether a question and candidate solution was correct or
incorrect

Finally, at test time, the generative model creates 100 solutions to each problem, and the
one with the highest score according to the verifier model is picked as the final answer
Source: Training Verifiers to Solve Math Word Problems by Karl Cobbe et al. (2021)

Results

With a 175B GPT-3 model and 8,000 training examples, this technique substantially lifted grade
school math accuracy from ~33% to ~55%.

Source: Training Verifiers to Solve Math Word Problems by Karl Cobbe et al. (2021)

Implications

Similar to the self-consistency technique, this method can get expensive, as generating, say, 100
solutions per task will increase your costs by roughly ~100x.

Theories of reliability

Although the techniques above vary in their approach, they all share the goal of improving
reliability on complex tasks. Mainly they do this by:
decomposing unreliable operations into smaller, more reliable operations (e.g., selection-
inference prompting)

using multiple steps or multiple relationships to make the system's reliability greater than
any individual component (e.g., maieutic prompting)

Probabilistic graphical models


This paradigm of trying to build a reliable system out of less reliable components is reminiscent
of probabilistic programming, and many of the analysis techniques of that field can be applied
to this one.

In the paper Language Model Cascades, David Dohan et al. interpret the above techniques in the
paradigm of probabilistic graphical models:

Although formulating these techniques as probabilistic graphical models may not be


immediately useful for solving any particular problem, the framework may be helpful in
selecting, combining, and discovering new techniques.

Closing thoughts

Research into large language models is very active and evolving rapidly. Not only do
researchers continue to improve the models, they also continue to improve our understanding
of how to best employ the models. To underscore the pace of these developments, note that all
of the papers shared above were published within the past 12 months (as I write in Sep 2022).

In the future, expect better models and better techniques to be published. Even if the specific
techniques here are eclipsed by future best practices, the general principles behind them will
likely remain a key part of any expert user's toolkit.

Philosophy with Vector Embeddings, OpenAI


and Cassandra / Astra DB
Stefano Lottini
Open in Github
Aug 28, 2023

CassIO version

In this quickstart you will learn how to build a "philosophy quote finder & generator" using
OpenAI's vector embeddings and Apache Cassandra®, or equivalently DataStax Astra DB
through CQL, as the vector store for data persistence.

The basic workflow of this notebook is outlined below. You will evaluate and store the vector
embeddings for a number of quotes by famous philosophers, use them to build a powerful
search engine and, after that, even a generator of new quotes!

The notebook exemplifies some of the standard usage patterns of vector search -- while
showing how easy is it to get started with the vector capabilities of Cassandra / Astra DB
through CQL.

For a background on using vector search and text embeddings to build a question-answering
system, please check out this excellent hands-on notebook: Question answering using
embeddings.

Choose-your-framework

Please note that this notebook uses the CassIO library, but we cover other choices of
technology to accomplish the same task. Check out this folder's README for other options. This
notebook can run either as a Colab notebook or as a regular Jupyter notebook.

Table of contents:

Setup
Get DB connection

Connect to OpenAI

Load quotes into the Vector Store

Use case 1: quote search engine

Use case 2: quote generator

(Optional) exploit partitioning in the Vector Store

How it works
Indexing

Each quote is made into an embedding vector with OpenAI's Embedding . These are saved in the
Vector Store for later use in searching. Some metadata, including the author's name and a few
other pre-computed tags, are stored alongside, to allow for search customization.

Search

To find a quote similar to the provided search quote, the latter is made into an embedding
vector on the fly, and this vector is used to query the store for similar vectors ... i.e. similar
quotes that were previously indexed. The search can optionally be constrained by additional
metadata ("find me quotes by Spinoza similar to this one ...").

The key point here is that "quotes similar in content" translates, in vector space, to vectors that
are metrically close to each other: thus, vector similarity search effectively implements semantic
similarity. This is the key reason vector embeddings are so powerful.

The sketch below tries to convey this idea. Each quote, once it's made into a vector, is a point in
space. Well, in this case it's on a sphere, since OpenAI's embedding vectors, as most others, are
normalized to unit length. Oh, and the sphere is actually not three-dimensional, rather 1536-
dimensional!

So, in essence, a similarity search in vector space returns the vectors that are closest to the
query vector:
Generation

Given a suggestion (a topic or a tentative quote), the search step is performed, and the first
returned results (quotes) are fed into an LLM prompt which asks the generative model to invent
a new text along the lines of the passed examples and the initial suggestion.
Setup

First install some required packages:

!pip install --quiet "cassio>=0.1.3" "openai>=1.0.0" datasets

from getpass import getpass


from collections import Counter

import cassio
from cassio.table import MetadataVectorCassandraTable

import openai
from datasets import load_dataset

Get DB connection

In order to connect to your Astra DB through CQL, you need two things:

A Token, with role "Database Administrator" (it looks like AstraCS:... )

the database ID (it looks like 3df2a5b6-... )

Make sure you have both strings -- which are obtained in the Astra UI once you sign in. For
more information, see here: database ID and Token.

If you want to connect to a Cassandra cluster (which however must support Vector Search),
replace with cassio.init(session=..., keyspace=...) with suitable Session and keyspace
name for your cluster.

astra_token = getpass("Please enter your Astra token ('AstraCS:...')")


database_id = input("Please enter your database id ('3df2a5b6-...')")

Please enter your Astra token ('AstraCS:...') ········


Please enter your database id ('3df2a5b6-...') 01234567-89ab-dcef-0123-456789abcdef

cassio.init(token=astra_token, database_id=database_id)
Creation of the DB connection
This is how you create a connection to Astra DB through CQL:

(Incidentally, you could also use any Cassandra cluster (as long as it provides Vector capabilities),
just by changing the parameters to the following Cluster instantiation.)

Creation of the Vector Store through CassIO


You need a table which support vectors and is equipped with metadata. Call it
"philosophers_cassio":

v_table = MetadataVectorCassandraTable(table="philosophers_cassio", vector_dimension=1536)

Connect to OpenAI

Set up your secret key

OPENAI_API_KEY = getpass("Please enter your OpenAI API Key: ")

Please enter your OpenAI API Key: ········

A test call for embeddings

Quickly check how one can get the embedding vectors for a list of input texts:

client = openai.OpenAI(api_key=OPENAI_API_KEY)
embedding_model_name = "text-embedding-3-small"

result = client.embeddings.create(
input=[
"This is a sentence",
"A second sentence"
],
model=embedding_model_name,
)
Note: the above is the syntax for OpenAI v1.0+. If using previous versions, the code to get the
embeddings will look different.

print(f"len(result.data) = {len(result.data)}")
print(f"result.data[1].embedding = {str(result.data[1].embedding)[:55]}...")
print(f"len(result.data[1].embedding) = {len(result.data[1].embedding)}")

len(result.data) = 2
result.data[1].embedding = [-0.010821706615388393, 0.001387271680869162, 0.0035479...
len(result.data[1].embedding) = 1536

Load quotes into the Vector Store

Note: the above is the syntax for OpenAI v1.0+. If using previous versions, the code to get the
embeddings will look different.

philo_dataset = load_dataset("datastax/philosopher-quotes")["train"]

A quick inspection:

print("An example entry:")


print(philo_dataset[16])

An example entry:
{'author': 'aristotle', 'quote': 'Love well, be loved and do something of value.', 'tags': 'lov

Check the dataset size:

author_count = Counter(entry["author"] for entry in philo_dataset)


print(f"Total: {len(philo_dataset)} quotes. By author:")
for author, count in author_count.most_common():
print(f" {author:<20}: {count} quotes")

Total: 450 quotes. By author:


aristotle : 50 quotes
schopenhauer : 50 quotes
spinoza : 50 quotes
hegel : 50 quotes
freud : 50 quotes
nietzsche : 50 quotes
sartre : 50 quotes
plato : 50 quotes
kant : 50 quotes

Insert quotes into vector store


You will compute the embeddings for the quotes and save them into the Vector Store, along
with the text itself and the metadata planned for later use. Note that the author is added as a
metadata field along with the "tags" already found with the quote itself.

To optimize speed and reduce the calls, you'll perform batched calls to the embedding OpenAI
service.

(Note: for faster execution, Cassandra and CassIO would let you do concurrent inserts, which we
don't do here for a more straightforward demo code.)

BATCH_SIZE = 50

num_batches = ((len(philo_dataset) + BATCH_SIZE - 1) // BATCH_SIZE)

quotes_list = philo_dataset["quote"]
authors_list = philo_dataset["author"]
tags_list = philo_dataset["tags"]

print("Starting to store entries:")


for batch_i in range(num_batches):
b_start = batch_i * BATCH_SIZE
b_end = (batch_i + 1) * BATCH_SIZE
# compute the embedding vectors for this batch
b_emb_results = client.embeddings.create(
input=quotes_list[b_start : b_end],
model=embedding_model_name,
)
# prepare the rows for insertion
print("B ", end="")
for entry_idx, emb_result in zip(range(b_start, b_end), b_emb_results.data):
if tags_list[entry_idx]:
tags = {
tag
for tag in tags_list[entry_idx].split(";")
}
else:
tags = set()
author = authors_list[entry_idx]
quote = quotes_list[entry_idx]
v_table.put(
row_id=f"q_{author}_{entry_idx}",
body_blob=quote,
vector=emb_result.embedding,
metadata={**{tag: True for tag in tags}, **{"author": author}},
)
print("*", end="")
print(f" done ({len(b_emb_results.data)})")

print("\nFinished storing entries.")

Starting to store entries:


B ************************************************** done (50)

Finished storing entries.

Use case 1: quote search engine

For the quote-search functionality, you need first to make the input quote into a vector, and
then use it to query the store (besides handling the optional metadata into the search call, that
is).

Encapsulate the search-engine functionality into a function for ease of re-use:

def find_quote_and_author(query_quote, n, author=None, tags=None):


query_vector = client.embeddings.create(
input=[query_quote],
model=embedding_model_name,
).data[0].embedding
metadata = {}
if author:
metadata["author"] = author
if tags:
for tag in tags:
metadata[tag] = True
#
results = v_table.ann_search(
query_vector,
n=n,
metadata=metadata,
)
return [
(result["body_blob"], result["metadata"]["author"])
for result in results
]

Putting search to test

Passing just a quote:

find_quote_and_author("We struggle all our life for nothing", 3)

[('Life to the great majority is only a constant struggle for mere existence, with the certaint
'schopenhauer'),
('We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we
'aristotle'),
('Perhaps the gods are kind to us, by making life more disagreeable as we grow older. In the e
'freud')]

Search restricted to an author:

find_quote_and_author("We struggle all our life for nothing", 2, author="nietzsche")

[('To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.',


'nietzsche'),
('What makes us heroic?--Confronting simultaneously our supreme suffering and our supreme hope
'nietzsche')]

Search constrained to a tag (out of those saved earlier with the quotes):

find_quote_and_author("We struggle all our life for nothing", 2, tags=["politics"])

[('Mankind will never see an end of trouble until lovers of wisdom come to hold political power
'plato'),
('Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.',
'nietzsche')]

Cutting out irrelevant results


The vector similarity search generally returns the vectors that are closest to the query, even if
that means results that might be somewhat irrelevant if there's nothing better.

To keep this issue under control, you can get the actual "distance" between the query and each
result, and then set a cutoff on it, effectively discarding results that are beyond that threshold.
Tuning this threshold correctly is not an easy problem: here, we'll just show you the way.

To get a feeling on how this works, try the following query and play with the choice of quote
and threshold to compare the results:

Note (for the mathematically inclined): this "distance" is exactly the cosine similarity between the
vectors, i.e. the scalar product divided by the product of the norms of the two vectors. As such, it is
a number ranging from -1 to +1, where -1 is for exactly opposite-facing vectors and +1 for
identically-oriented vectors. Elsewhere (e.g. in the "CQL" counterpart of this demo) you would get
a rescaling of this quantity to fit the [0, 1] interval, which means the resulting numerical values
and adequate thresholds there are transformed accordingly.

quote = "Animals are our equals."


# quote = "Be good."
# quote = "This teapot is strange."

metric_threshold = 0.84

quote_vector = client.embeddings.create(
input=[quote],
model=embedding_model_name,
).data[0].embedding

results = list(v_table.metric_ann_search(
quote_vector,
n=8,
metric="cos",
metric_threshold=metric_threshold,
))

print(f"{len(results)} quotes within the threshold:")


for idx, result in enumerate(results):
print(f" {idx}. [distance={result['distance']:.3f}] \"{result['body_blob'][:70]}...\"")

3 quotes within the threshold:


0. [distance=0.855] "The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that
1. [distance=0.843] "Animals are in possession of themselves; their soul is in possession o
2. [distance=0.841] "At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and
Use case 2: quote generator

For this task you need another component from OpenAI, namely an LLM to generate the quote
for us (based on input obtained by querying the Vector Store).

You also need a template for the prompt that will be filled for the generate-quote LLM
completion task.

completion_model_name = "gpt-3.5-turbo"

generation_prompt_template = """"Generate a single short philosophical quote on the given topic,


similar in spirit and form to the provided actual example quotes.
Do not exceed 20-30 words in your quote.

REFERENCE TOPIC: "{topic}"

ACTUAL EXAMPLES:
{examples}
"""

Like for search, this functionality is best wrapped into a handy function (which internally uses
search):

def generate_quote(topic, n=2, author=None, tags=None):


quotes = find_quote_and_author(query_quote=topic, n=n, author=author, tags=tags)
if quotes:
prompt = generation_prompt_template.format(
topic=topic,
examples="\n".join(f" - {quote[0]}" for quote in quotes),
)
# a little logging:
print("** quotes found:")
for q, a in quotes:
print(f"** - {q} ({a})")
print("** end of logging")
#
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model=completion_model_name,
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
temperature=0.7,
max_tokens=320,
)
return response.choices[0].message.content.replace('"', '').strip()
else:
print("** no quotes found.")
return None
Note: similar to the case of the embedding computation, the code for the Chat Completion API
would be slightly different for OpenAI prior to v1.0.

Putting quote generation to test

Just passing a text (a "quote", but one can actually just suggest a topic since its vector
embedding will still end up at the right place in the vector space):

q_topic = generate_quote("politics and virtue")


print("\nA new generated quote:")
print(q_topic)

** quotes found:
** - Happiness is the reward of virtue. (aristotle)
** - Our moral virtues benefit mainly other people; intellectual virtues, on the other hand,
** end of logging

A new generated quote:


Virtuous politics purifies society, while corrupt politics breeds chaos and decay.

Use inspiration from just a single philosopher:

q_topic = generate_quote("animals", author="schopenhauer")


print("\nA new generated quote:")
print(q_topic)

** quotes found:
** - Because Christian morality leaves animals out of account, they are at once outlawed in
** - The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of
** end of logging

A new generated quote:


The true measure of humanity lies not in our dominion over animals, but in our ability to show

(Optional) Partitioning

There's an interesting topic to examine before completing this quickstart. While, generally, tags
and quotes can be in any relationship (e.g. a quote having multiple tags), authors are effectively
an exact grouping (they define a "disjoint partitioning" on the set of quotes): each quote has
exactly one author (for us, at least).

Now, suppose you know in advance your application will usually (or always) run queries on a
single author. Then you can take full advantage of the underlying database structure: if you
group quotes in partitions (one per author), vector queries on just an author will use less
resources and return much faster.

We'll not dive into the details here, which have to do with the Cassandra storage internals: the
important message is that if your queries are run within a group, consider partitioning
accordingly to boost performance.

You'll now see this choice in action.

First, you need a different table abstraction from CassIO:

from cassio.table import ClusteredMetadataVectorCassandraTable

v_table_partitioned = ClusteredMetadataVectorCassandraTable(table="philosophers_cassio_partitioned",

Now repeat the compute-embeddings-and-insert step on the new table.

Compared to what you have seen earlier, there is a crucial difference in that now the quote's
author is stored as the partition id for the inserted row, instead of being added to the catch-all
"metadata" dictionary.

While you are at it, by way of demonstration, you will insert all quotes by a given author
concurrently: with CassIO, this is done by usng the asynchronous put_async method for each
quote, collecting the resulting list of Future objects, and calling the result() method on
them all afterwards, to ensure they all have executed. Cassandra / Astra DB well supports a high
degree of concurrency in I/O operations.

(Note: one could have cached the embeddings computed previously to save a few API tokens --
here, however, we wanted to keep the code easier to inspect.)
BATCH_SIZE = 50

num_batches = ((len(philo_dataset) + BATCH_SIZE - 1) // BATCH_SIZE)

quotes_list = philo_dataset["quote"]
authors_list = philo_dataset["author"]
tags_list = philo_dataset["tags"]

print("Starting to store entries:")


for batch_i in range(num_batches):
b_start = batch_i * BATCH_SIZE
b_end = (batch_i + 1) * BATCH_SIZE
# compute the embedding vectors for this batch
b_emb_results = client.embeddings.create(
input=quotes_list[b_start : b_end],
model=embedding_model_name,
)
# prepare the rows for insertion
futures = []
print("B ", end="")
for entry_idx, emb_result in zip(range(b_start, b_end), b_emb_results.data):
if tags_list[entry_idx]:
tags = {
tag
for tag in tags_list[entry_idx].split(";")
}
else:
tags = set()
author = authors_list[entry_idx]
quote = quotes_list[entry_idx]
futures.append(v_table_partitioned.put_async(
partition_id=author,
row_id=f"q_{author}_{entry_idx}",
body_blob=quote,
vector=emb_result.embedding,
metadata={tag: True for tag in tags},
))
#
for future in futures:
future.result()
#
print(f" done ({len(b_emb_results.data)})")

print("\nFinished storing entries.")

Starting to store entries:

Finished storing entries.

With this new table, the similarity search changes accordingly (note the arguments to
ann_search ):

def find_quote_and_author_p(query_quote, n, author=None, tags=None):


query_vector = client.embeddings.create(
input=[query_quote],
model=embedding_model_name,
).data[0].embedding
metadata = {}
partition_id = None
if author:
partition_id = author
if tags:
for tag in tags:
metadata[tag] = True
#
results = v_table_partitioned.ann_search(
query_vector,
n=n,
partition_id=partition_id,
metadata=metadata,
)
return [
(result["body_blob"], result["partition_id"])
for result in results
]

That's it: the new table still supports the "generic" similarity searches all right ...

find_quote_and_author_p("We struggle all our life for nothing", 3)

[('Life to the great majority is only a constant struggle for mere existence, with the certaint
'schopenhauer'),
('We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we
'aristotle'),
('Perhaps the gods are kind to us, by making life more disagreeable as we grow older. In the e
'freud')]

... but it's when an author is specified that you would notice a huge performance advantage:
find_quote_and_author_p("We struggle all our life for nothing", 2, author="nietzsche")

[('To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.',


'nietzsche'),
('What makes us heroic?--Confronting simultaneously our supreme suffering and our supreme hope
'nietzsche')]

Well, you would notice a performance gain, if you had a realistic-size dataset. In this demo, with
a few tens of entries, there's no noticeable difference -- but you get the idea.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have learned how to use OpenAI for vector embeddings and Cassandra /
Astra DB through CQL for storage in order to build a sophisticated philosophical search engine
and quote generator.

This example used CassIO to interface with the Vector Store - but this is not the only choice.
Check the README for other options and integration with popular frameworks.

ML/GenAI applications, visit Astra DB's web page on the topic.

Cleanup

If you want to remove all resources used for this demo, run this cell (warning: this will delete the
tables and the data inserted in them!):

# we peek at CassIO's config to get a direct handle to the DB connection


session = cassio.config.resolve_session()
keyspace = cassio.config.resolve_keyspace()

Question Answering with Langchain, Qdrant


and OpenAI
Kacper Łukawski
Open in Github
Feb 15, 2023

This notebook presents how to implement a Question Answering system with Langchain,
Qdrant as a knowledge based and OpenAI embeddings. If you are not familiar with Qdrant, it's
better to check out the Getting_started_with_Qdrant_and_OpenAI.ipynb notebook.

This notebook presents an end-to-end process of:

1. Calculating the embeddings with OpenAI API.

2. Storing the embeddings in a local instance of Qdrant to build a knowledge base.

3. Converting raw text query to an embedding with OpenAI API.

4. Using Qdrant to perform the nearest neighbour search in the created collection to find
some context.

5. Asking LLM to find the answer in a given context.

All the steps will be simplified to calling some corresponding Langchain methods.

Prerequisites

For the purposes of this exercise we need to prepare a couple of things:

1. Qdrant server instance. In our case a local Docker container.

2. The qdrant-client library to interact with the vector database.

3. Langchain as a framework.

4. An OpenAI API key.


Start Qdrant server

We're going to use a local Qdrant instance running in a Docker container. The easiest way to
launch it is to use the attached [docker-compose.yaml] file and run the following command:

! docker-compose up -d

Starting qdrant_qdrant_1 ...


ting qdrant_qdrant_1 ... done

We might validate if the server was launched successfully by running a simple curl command:

! curl http://localhost:6333

{"title":"qdrant - vector search engine","version":"1.0.1"}

Install requirements

This notebook obviously requires the openai , langchain and qdrant-client packages.

! pip install openai qdrant-client "langchain==0.0.100" wget

Prepare your OpenAI API key

The OpenAI API key is used for vectorization of the documents and queries.

If you don't have an OpenAI API key, you can get one from
https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Once you get your key, please add it to your environment variables as OPENAI_API_KEY by
running following command:

! export OPENAI_API_KEY="your API key"


# Test that your OpenAI API key is correctly set as an environment variable
# Note. if you run this notebook locally, you will need to reload your terminal and the notebook for
import os

# Note. alternatively you can set a temporary env variable like this:
# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

if os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") is not None:


print("OPENAI_API_KEY is ready")
else:
print("OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable not found")

OPENAI_API_KEY is ready

Load data

In this section we are going to load the data containing some natural questions and answers to
them. All the data will be used to create a Langchain application with Qdrant being the
knowledge base.

import wget

# All the examples come from https://ai.google.com/research/NaturalQuestions


# This is a sample of the training set that we download and extract for some
# further processing.
wget.download("https://storage.googleapis.com/dataset-natural-questions/questions.json")

print(questions[0])

print(answers[0])

No . overall No. in season Title Directed by Written by Original air date U.S. viewers ( millio

Chain definition

Langchain is already integrated with Qdrant and performs all the indexing for given list of
documents. In our case we are going to store the set of answers we have.

from langchain.vectorstores import Qdrant


from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain import VectorDBQA, OpenAI

embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
doc_store = Qdrant.from_texts(
answers, embeddings, host="localhost"
)

At this stage all the possible answers are already stored in Qdrant, so we can define the whole
QA chain.

llm = OpenAI()
qa = VectorDBQA.from_chain_type(
llm=llm,
chain_type="stuff",
vectorstore=doc_store,
return_source_documents=False,
)

Search data
Once the data is put into Qdrant we can start asking some questions. A question will be
automatically vectorized by OpenAI model, and the created vector will be used to find some
possibly matching answers in Qdrant. Once retrieved, the most similar answers will be
incorporated into the prompt sent to OpenAI Large Language Model. The communication
between all the services is shown on a graph:

import random

random.seed(52)
selected_questions = random.choices(questions, k=5)

for question in selected_questions:


print(">", question)
print(qa.run(question), end="\n\n")

Custom prompt templates


The stuff chain type in Langchain uses a specific prompt with question and context
documents incorporated. This is what the default prompt looks like:

Use the following pieces of context to answer the question at the end. If you don't know the answer
{context}
Question: {question}
Helpful Answer:

We can, however, provide our prompt template and change the behaviour of the OpenAI LLM,
while still using the stuff chain type. It is important to keep {context} and {question} as
placeholders.

Experimenting with custom prompts

We can try using a different prompt template, so the model:

1. Responds with a single-sentence answer if it knows it.

2. Suggests a random song title if it doesn't know the answer to our question.

from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate

custom_prompt = """
Use the following pieces of context to answer the question at the end. Please provide
a short single-sentence summary answer only. If you don't know the answer or if it's
not present in given context, don't try to make up an answer, but suggest me a random
unrelated song title I could listen to.
Context: {context}
Question: {question}

custom_prompt_template = PromptTemplate(
template=custom_prompt, input_variables=["context", "question"]
)

custom_qa = VectorDBQA.from_chain_type(

Function calling for nearby places: Leveraging
the Google Places API and customer profiles
prestontuggle
Open in Github
Aug 10, 2023

This notebook is centered around the integration of the Google Places API and custom user
profiles to enhance location-based searches. Our approach involves using the Google Places API
in combination with user preferences, aiming to make location discovery more personal and
relevant. Please note that while we focus on the Google Places API in this instance, there are
numerous other APIs you could explore and apply in a similar fashion.

We'll explore the application of three main components:

Customer profile: This mock profile captures individual preferences for types of places (e.g.,
restaurants, parks, museums), budget, preferred ratings, and other specific requirements.

Google Places API: This API provides real-time data about nearby places. It factors in
various data points such as ratings, types of venues, costs, and more from the locations
around you.

Function calling: A single command such as "I'm hungry" or "I want to visit a museum"
activates the function which combines the user profile data and Google Places API to
identify suitable venues.

This notebook introduces two primary use cases:

Profile-based recommendations: Learn how to create a user profile and make place
recommendations based on individual preferences.

API integration with function calling: Understand how to integrate and call Google Places
API effectively to source real-time data of various places using function calling.
Please note that while this system is highly versatile, its effectiveness may vary based on user
preferences and available place data. For the purposes of this notebook, the customer data is
fake and the location is hardcoded.

Setup

Google Places API

To use the Google Places API, you'll need two things:

Google Account: If you don't already have one, you will need to create a Google account.

Google Places API Key: The API key is a unique identifier that is used to authenticate
requests associated with your project for usage and billing purposes. You can get your API
key from the Google Cloud Console.

Please note that Google Places API is a paid service, and the cost is associated with the number
Cookbook
of API About
calls made. Keep track of your usage to avoid API Docs
any unexpected Contribute
charges.

The requests library is also needed, you can download it by using the following command:

pip install requests

import json
from openai import OpenAI
import os
import requests

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "<your OpenAI API key if not set as env var>

In this code snippet, we are defining a function fetch_customer_profile that accepts a


user_id and returns a mock user profile.

This function simulates an API call that fetches user data from a database. For this demo, we're
using hard-coded data. The user profile contains various details such as the user's location (set
to the coordinates of the Golden Gate Bridge for this example), preferences in food and
activities, app usage metrics, recent interactions, and user rank.

In a production environment, you would replace this hard-coded data with a real API call to
your user database.

def fetch_customer_profile(user_id):
# You can replace this with a real API call in the production code
if user_id == "user1234":
return {
"name": "John Doe",
"location": {
"latitude": 37.7955,
"longitude": -122.4026,
},
"preferences": {
"food": ["Italian", "Sushi"],
"activities": ["Hiking", "Reading"],
},
"behavioral_metrics": {

"weekly": 14 # hours
},
"favourite_post_categories": ["Nature", "Food", "Books"],
"active_time": "Evening",
},
"recent_searches": ["Italian restaurants nearby", "Book clubs"],
"recent_interactions": ["Liked a post about 'Best Pizzas in New York'", "Commented on a p
"user_rank": "Gold", # based on some internal ranking system
}
else:
return None

Requesting and processing data from Google Places API

The function call_google_places_api serves to request information from the Google Places API
and provide a list of the top two places based on a given place_type and optional
food_preference. We've limited this function to the top two results to manage usage since this is
a paid service. However, you can modify this to retrieve any number of results as per your
requirement.

The function is configured with a hardcoded location (set to the coordinates of the
Transamerica Pyramid), your Google API key, and specific request parameters. Depending on
the place_type, it formulates the appropriate API request URL. If the place_type is a restaurant
and a food_preference is specified, it is included in the API request.

After sending the GET request, the function checks the response status. If it's successful, it
processes the JSON response, extracts the relevant details using the get_place_details function,
and returns them in a human-readable format. If the request fails, it prints out the error for
debugging.

The get_place_details function is used to retrieve more detailed information about a place, given
its place_id. It sends a GET request to the Google Place Details API and returns the result if the
request is successful. If the request fails, it prints out the error for debugging.

Both functions handle exceptions and return an error message if something goes wrong.

def get_place_details(place_id, api_key):


URL = f"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?place_id={place_id}&key={api_key}

Generating user-specific recommendations with GPT-3.5-


Turbo and Google Places API

The function provide_user_specific_recommendations interacts with GPT-3.5-Turbo and the


Google Places API to provide responses tailored to a user's preferences and location.

First, it fetches the customer's profile using their user_id . If no profile is found, it returns an
error message.

With a valid profile, it extracts the customer's food preferences and then interacts with the
OpenAI model. It provides an initial system message, giving context to the AI model about its
role, user preferences, and the usage of the Google Places API function.

The user input is also sent to the model as a message, and the function
call_google_places_api is defined in the functions parameter for the AI model to call as
needed.

Finally, it processes the model's response. If the model makes a function call to the Google
Places API, the function is executed with the appropriate arguments, and the names of nearby
places are returned. If there are no such places or the request isn't understood, appropriate
error messages are returned.

def provide_user_specific_recommendations(user_input, user_id):


customer_profile = fetch_customer_profile(user_id)
if customer_profile is None:
return "I couldn't find your profile. Could you please verify your user ID?"

customer_profile_str = json.dumps(customer_profile)

food_preference = customer_profile.get('preferences', {}).get('food', [])[0] if customer_profile

response = client.chat.completions.create(

return f"Here are some places you might be interested in: {' '.join(places)}"
else:
return "I couldn't find any places of interest nearby."

return "I am sorry, but I could not understand your request."

Executing user-specific recommendations

Upon execution, the function fetches the user's profile, interacts with the AI model, processes
the model's response, calls the Google Places API if necessary, and ultimately returns a list of
recommendations tailored to the user's preferences and location. The printed output would
consist of these personalized recommendations.

user_id = "user1234"
user_input = "I'm hungry"
output = provide_user_specific_recommendations(user_input, user_id)

This notebook shows how to use the function calling capability with the Azure OpenAI service.
Functions allow a caller of chat completions to define capabilities that the model can use to
extend its functionality into external tools and data sources.

You can read more about chat functions on OpenAI's blog: https://openai.com/blog/function-
calling-and-other-api-updates

NOTE: Chat functions require model versions beginning with gpt-4 and gpt-35-turbo's -0613
labels. They are not supported by older versions of the models.

Setup

First, we install the necessary dependencies and import the libraries we will be using.

! pip install "openai>=1.0.0,<2.0.0"


! pip install python-dotenv

import os
import openai
import dotenv

dotenv.load_dotenv()

Authentication

The Azure OpenAI service supports multiple authentication mechanisms that include API keys
and Azure Active Directory token credentials.
use_azure_active_directory = False # Set this flag to True if you are using Azure Active Directory

Authentication using API key

To set up the OpenAI SDK to use an Azure API Key, we need to set api_key to a key associated
Cookbook About API Docs Contribute
with your endpoint (you can find this key in "Keys and Endpoints" under "Resource Management"
in the Azure Portal). You'll also find the endpoint for your resource here.

if not use_azure_active_directory:
endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"]
api_key = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"]

client = openai.AzureOpenAI(
azure_endpoint=endpoint,
api_key=api_key,
api_version="2023-09-01-preview"
)

Authentication using Azure Active Directory

Let's now see how we can autheticate via Azure Active Directory. We'll start by installing the
azure-identity library. This library will provide the token credentials we need to authenticate

and help us build a token credential provider through the get_bearer_token_provider helper
function. It's recommended to use get_bearer_token_provider over providing a static token to
AzureOpenAI because this API will automatically cache and refresh tokens for you.

For more information on how to set up Azure Active Directory authentication with Azure
OpenAI, see the documentation.

! pip install "azure-identity>=1.15.0"

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, get_bearer_token_provider

if use_azure_active_directory:
endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"]
api_key = os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"]

client = openai.AzureOpenAI(
azure_endpoint=endpoint,
azure_ad_token_provider=get_bearer_token_provider(DefaultAzureCredential(), "https://cognitiv
api_version="2023-09-01-preview"
)

“Note: the AzureOpenAI infers the following arguments from their corresponding
environment variables if they are not provided:”

api_key from AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY

azure_ad_token from AZURE_OPENAI_AD_TOKEN

api_version from OPENAI_API_VERSION

azure_endpoint from AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT

Deployments

In this section we are going to create a deployment of a GPT model that we can use to call
functions.

Deployments: Create in the Azure OpenAI Studio

Let's deploy a model to use with chat completions. Go to https://portal.azure.com, find your
Azure OpenAI resource, and then navigate to the Azure OpenAI Studio. Click on the
"Deployments" tab and then create a deployment for the model you want to use for chat
completions. The deployment name that you give the model will be used in the code below.

deployment = "" # Fill in the deployment name from the portal here

Functions

With setup and authentication complete, you can now use functions with the Azure OpenAI
service. This will be split into a few steps:

1. Define the function(s)

2. Pass function definition(s) into chat completions API

3. Call function with arguments from the response


4. Feed function response back into chat completions API

1. Define the function(s)

A list of functions can be defined, each containing the name of the function, an optional
description, and the parameters the function accepts (described as a JSON schema).

functions = [
{
"name": "get_current_weather",
"description": "Get the current weather",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"location": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA",
},
"format": {
"type": "string",
"enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"],
"description": "The temperature unit to use. Infer this from the users location."
},
},
"required": ["location"],
},
}
]

2. Pass function definition(s) into chat completions API

Now we can pass the function into the chat completions API. If the model determines it should
call the function, a finish_reason of "tool_calls" will be populated on the choice and the
details of which function to call and its arguments will be present in the message . Optionally,
you can set the tool_choice keyword argument to force the model to call a particular function
(e.g. {"type": "function", "function": {"name": get_current_weather}} ). By default, this is
set to auto , allowing the model to choose whether to call the function or not.

messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "Don't make assumptions about what values to plug into functions. A
{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like today in Seattle?"}
]

chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
model=deployment,
messages=messages,
tools=functions,
)
print(chat_completion)

3. Call function with arguments from the response

The name of the function call will be one that was provided initially and the arguments will
include JSON matching the schema included in the function definition.

import json

def get_current_weather(request):
"""
This function is for illustrative purposes.
The location and unit should be used to determine weather
instead of returning a hardcoded response.
"""
location = request.get("location")
unit = request.get("unit")
return {"temperature": "22", "unit": "celsius", "description": "Sunny"}

function_call = chat_completion.choices[0].message.tool_calls[0].function
print(function_call.name)
print(function_call.arguments)

if function_call.name == "get_current_weather":
response = get_current_weather(json.loads(function_call.arguments))

4. Feed function response back into chat completions API

The response from the function should be serialized into a new message with the role set to
"function". Now the model will use the response data to formulate its answer.

messages.append(
{
"role": "function",
"name": "get_current_weather",
"content": json.dumps(response)
}
)

function_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
model=deployment,
messages=messages,
tools=functions,
)

Connect to Elasticsearch
ℹ️ We're using an Elastic Cloud deployment of Elasticsearch for this notebook. If you don't
already have an Elastic deployment, you can sign up for a free Elastic Cloud trial.

To connect to Elasticsearch, you need to create a client instance with the Cloud ID and password
for your deployment.

Find the Cloud ID for your deployment by going to https://cloud.elastic.co/deployments and


selecting your deployment.

CLOUD_ID = getpass("Elastic deployment Cloud ID")


CLOUD_PASSWORD = getpass("Elastic deployment Password")
client = Elasticsearch(
cloud_id = CLOUD_ID,
basic_auth=("elastic", CLOUD_PASSWORD) # Alternatively use `api_key` instead of `basic_auth`
)

# Test connection to Elasticsearch

{'name': 'instance-0000000001', 'cluster_name': '29ef9817e13142f5ba0ea7b29c2a86e2', 'cluster_uu

Download the dataset

In this step we download the OpenAI Wikipedia embeddings dataset, and extract the zip file.

embeddings_url = 'https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde
wget.download(embeddings_url)

with zipfile.ZipFile("vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.zip",
"r") as zip_ref:
zip_ref.extractall("data")

Read CSV file into a Pandas DataFrame

Next we use the Pandas library to read the unzipped CSV file into a DataFrame. This step makes
it easier to index the data into Elasticsearch in bulk.
wikipedia_dataframe = pd.read_csv("data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedded.csv")

Create index with mapping

Now we need to create an Elasticsearch index with the necessary mappings. This will enable us
to index the data into Elasticsearch.

We use the dense_vector field type for the title_vector and content_vector fields. This is a
special field type that allows us to store dense vectors in Elasticsearch.

Later, we'll need to target the dense_vector field for kNN search.

index_mapping= {
"properties": {
"title_vector": {
"type": "dense_vector",
"dims": 1536,
"index": "true",
"similarity": "cosine"
},
"content_vector": {
"type": "dense_vector",
"dims": 1536,
"index": "true",
"similarity": "cosine"
},
"text": {"type": "text"},
"title": {"type": "text"},
"url": { "type": "keyword"},
"vector_id": {"type": "long"}

}
}

client.indices.create(index="wikipedia_vector_index", mappings=index_mapping)

ObjectApiResponse({'acknowledged': True, 'shards_acknowledged': True, 'index': 'wikipedia_vecto

Index data into Elasticsearch

The following function generates the required bulk actions that can be passed to Elasticsearch's
Bulk API, so we can index multiple documents efficiently in a single request.
For each row in the DataFrame, the function yields a dictionary representing a single document
to be indexed.

def dataframe_to_bulk_actions(df):
for index, row in df.iterrows():
yield {
"_index": 'wikipedia_vector_index',
"_id": row['id'],
"_source": {
'url' : row["url"],
'title' : row["title"],
'text' : row["text"],
'title_vector' : json.loads(row["title_vector"]),
'content_vector' : json.loads(row["content_vector"]),
'vector_id' : row["vector_id"]
}
}

As the dataframe is large, we will index data in batches of 100 . We index the data into
Elasticsearch using the Python client's helpers for the bulk API.

start = 0
end = len(wikipedia_dataframe)
batch_size = 100
for batch_start in range(start, end, batch_size):
batch_end = min(batch_start + batch_size, end)
batch_dataframe = wikipedia_dataframe.iloc[batch_start:batch_end]
actions = dataframe_to_bulk_actions(batch_dataframe)
helpers.bulk(client, actions)

Let's test the index with a simple match query.

print(client.search(index="wikipedia_vector_index", body={
"_source": {
"excludes": ["title_vector", "content_vector"]
},
"query": {
"match": {
"text": {
"query": "Hummingbird"

Encode a question with OpenAI embedding model

To perform semantic search, we need to encode queries with the same embedding model used
to encode the documents at index time. In this example, we need to use the text-embedding-3-
small model.

You'll need your OpenAI API key to generate the embeddings.

# Get OpenAI API key


OPENAI_API_KEY = getpass("Enter OpenAI API key")

# Set API key


openai.api_key = OPENAI_API_KEY

# Define model
EMBEDDING_MODEL = "text-embedding-3-small"

# Define question
question = 'Is the Atlantic the biggest ocean in the world?'

# Create embedding
question_embedding = openai.Embedding.create(input=question, model=EMBEDDING_MODEL)

Run semantic search queries

Now we're ready to run queries against our Elasticsearch index using our encoded question.
We'll be doing a k-nearest neighbors search, using the Elasticsearch kNN query option.

First, we define a small function to pretty print the results.

# Function to pretty print Elasticsearch results

def pretty_response(response):
for hit in response['hits']['hits']:
id = hit['_id']
score = hit['_score']
title = hit['_source']['title']
text = hit['_source']['text']
pretty_output = (f"\nID: {id}\nTitle: {title}\nSummary: {text}\nScore: {score}")
print(pretty_output)

Now let's run our kNN query.

response = client.search(
index = "wikipedia_vector_index",
knn={
"field": "content_vector",
"query_vector": question_embedding["data"][0]["embedding"],
"k": 10,
"num_candidates": 100

Success! Now you know how to use Elasticsearch as a vector database to store embeddings,
encode queries by calling the OpenAI embeddings endpoint, and run semantic search.
Play around with different queries, and if you want to try with your own data, you can
experiment with different embedding models.

ℹ️ Check out our other notebook Retrieval augmented generation using Elasticsearch and
OpenAI. That notebook builds on this example to demonstrate how to use Elasticsearch
together with the OpenAI chat completions API for retrieval augmented generation (RAG).

In this example, we will upload food review embeddings to Atlas to visualize the embeddings.

What is Atlas?

Atlas is a machine learning tool used to visualize massive datasets of embeddings in your web
browser. Upload millions of embeddings to Atlas and interact with them in your web browser or
jupyter notebook.

1. Login to Atlas.

!pip install nomic

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from ast import literal_eval

# Load the embeddings


datafile_path = "data/fine_food_reviews_with_embeddings_1k.csv"
df = pd.read_csv(datafile_path)

# Convert to a list of lists of floats


embeddings = np.array(df.embedding.apply(literal_eval).to_list())

Using Typesense for Embeddings Search


Colin Jarvis
Open in Github
Jun 27, 2023

This notebook takes you through a simple flow to download some data, embed it, and then
index and search it using a selection of vector databases. This is a common requirement for
customers who want to store and search our embeddings with their own data in a secure
environment to support production use cases such as chatbots, topic modelling and more.

What is a Vector Database


A vector database is a database made to store, manage and search embedding vectors. The use
of embeddings to encode unstructured data (text, audio, video and more) as vectors for
consumption by machine-learning models has exploded in recent years, due to the increasing
effectiveness of AI in solving use cases involving natural language, image recognition and other
unstructured forms of data. Vector databases have emerged as an effective solution for
enterprises to deliver and scale these use cases.

Why use a Vector Database

Vector databases enable enterprises to take many of the embeddings use cases we've shared in
this repo (question and answering, chatbot and recommendation services, for example), and
make use of them in a secure, scalable environment. Many of our customers make embeddings
solve their problems at small scale but performance and security hold them back from going
into production - we see vector databases as a key component in solving that, and in this guide
we'll walk through the basics of embedding text data, storing it in a vector database and using it
for semantic search.

Demo Flow
The demo flow is:
Setup: Import packages and set any required variables

Load data: Load a dataset and embed it using OpenAI embeddings

Typesense

Setup: Set up the Typesense Python client. For more details go here

Index Data: We'll create a collection and index it for both titles and content.

Search Data: Run a few example queries with various goals in mind.

Once you've run through this notebook you should have a basic understanding of how to setup
and use vector databases, and can move on to more complex use cases making use of our
embeddings.

Setup

Import the required libraries and set the embedding model that we'd like to use.

# We'll need to install the Typesense client


!pip install typesense

#Install wget to pull zip file


!pip install wget

import openai

from typing import List, Iterator


import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import os
import wget
from ast import literal_eval

# Typesense's client library for Python


import typesense

# I've set this to our new embeddings model, this can be changed to the embedding model of your choic
EMBEDDING_MODEL = "text-embedding-3-small"

# Ignore unclosed SSL socket warnings - optional in case you get these errors
import warnings

warnings.filterwarnings(action="ignore", message="unclosed", category=ResourceWarning)


warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=DeprecationWarning)
Load data

In this section we'll load embedded data that we've prepared previous to this session.

embeddings_url = 'https://cdn.openai.com/API/examples/data/vector_database_wikipedia_articles_embedde

Typesense

The next vector store we'll look at is Typesense, which is an open source, in-memory search
engine, that you can either self-host or run on Typesense Cloud.

Typesense focuses on performance by storing the entire index in RAM (with a backup on disk)
and also focuses on providing an out-of-the-box developer experience by simplifying available
options and setting good defaults. It also lets you combine attribute-based filtering together
with vector queries.

For this example, we will set up a local docker-based Typesense server, index our vectors in
Typesense and then do some nearest-neighbor search queries. If you use Typesense Cloud, you
can skip the docker setup part and just obtain the hostname and API keys from your cluster
dashboard.

Setup
To run Typesense locally, you'll need Docker. Following the instructions contained in the
Typesense documentation here, we created an example docker-compose.yml file in this repo
saved at ./typesense/docker-compose.yml.

After starting Docker, you can start Typesense locally by navigating to the
examples/vector_databases/typesense/ directory and running docker-compose up -d .

The default API key is set to xyz in the Docker compose file, and the default Typesense port to
8108 .

import typesense

typesense_client = \
typesense.Client({
"nodes": [{
"host": "localhost", # For Typesense Cloud use xxx.a1.typesense.net
"port": "8108", # For Typesense Cloud use 443
"protocol": "http" # For Typesense Cloud use https
}],
"api_key": "xyz",
"connection_timeout_seconds": 60
})

Index data
To index vectors in Typesense, we'll first create a Collection (which is a collection of Documents)
and turn on vector indexing for a particular field. You can even store multiple vector fields in a
single document.

# Delete existing collections if they already exist


try:
typesense_client.collections['wikipedia_articles'].delete()
except Exception as e:
pass

# Create a new collection

schema = {
"name": "wikipedia_articles",
"fields": [
{
"name": "content_vector",
"type": "float[]",
"num_dim": len(article_df['content_vector'][0])
},
{
"name": "title_vector",
"type": "float[]",
"num_dim": len(article_df['title_vector'][0])
}
]
}

create_response = typesense_client.collections.create(schema)
print(create_response)

print("Created new collection wikipedia-articles")

{'created_at': 1687165065, 'default_sorting_field': '', 'enable_nested_fields': False, 'fields'


Created new collection wikipedia-articles

# Upsert the vector data into the collection we just created


#
# Note: This can take a few minutes, especially if your on an M1 and running docker in an emulated mo

print("Indexing vectors in Typesense...")

document_counter = 0
documents_batch = []

for k,v in article_df.iterrows():


# Create a document with the vector data

# Notice how you can add any fields that you haven't added to the schema to the document.
# These will be stored on disk and returned when the document is a hit.
# This is useful to store attributes required for display purposes.

document = {
"title_vector": v["title_vector"],
"content_vector": v["content_vector"],
"title": v["title"],
"content": v["text"],
}
documents_batch.append(document)
document_counter = document_counter + 1

# Upsert a batch of 100 documents


if document_counter % 100 == 0 or document_counter == len(article_df):
response = typesense_client.collections['wikipedia_articles'].documents.import_(documents_bat
# print(response)

documents_batch = []
print(f"Processed {document_counter} / {len(article_df)} ")

print(f"Imported ({len(article_df)}) articles.")

# Check the number of documents imported

collection = typesense_client.collections['wikipedia_articles'].retrieve()
print(f'Collection has {collection["num_documents"]} documents')

Collection has 25000 documents

Search Data

Now that we've imported the vectors into Typesense, we can do a nearest neighbor search on
the title_vector or content_vector field.

def query_typesense(query, field='title', top_k=20):

# Creates embedding vector from user query


openai.api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY", "sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
embedded_query = openai.Embedding.create(
input=query,
model=EMBEDDING_MODEL,
)['data'][0]['embedding']

typesense_results = typesense_client.multi_search.perform({
"searches": [{
"q": "*",
"collection": "wikipedia_articles",
"vector_query": f"{field}_vector:([{','.join(str(v) for v in embedded_query)}], k:{top_k}
}]
}, {})

return typesense_results

query_results = query_typesense('modern art in Europe', 'title')

for i, hit in enumerate(query_results['results'][0]['hits']):


document = hit["document"]
vector_distance = hit["vector_distance"]
print(f'{i + 1}. {document["title"]} (Distance: {vector_distance})')
