ChatQnA Application

Chatbots are the most widely adopted use case for leveraging the powerful chat and reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). The retrieval augmented generation (RAG) architecture is quickly becoming the industry standard for chatbots development. It combines the benefits of a knowledge base (via a vector store) and generative models to reduce hallucinations, maintain up-to-date information, and leverage domain-specific knowledge.

RAG bridges the knowledge gap by dynamically fetching relevant information from external sources, ensuring that responses generated remain factual and current. The core of this architecture are vector databases, which are instrumental in enabling efficient and semantic retrieval of information. These databases store data as vectors, allowing RAG to swiftly access the most pertinent documents or data points based on semantic similarity.

Deploy ChatQnA Service

The ChatQnA service can be effortlessly deployed on Intel Gaudi2, Intel Xeon Scalable Processors and Nvidia GPU.

Two types of ChatQnA pipeline are supported now: ChatQnA with/without Rerank. And the ChatQnA without Rerank pipeline (including Embedding, Retrieval, and LLM) is offered for Xeon customers who can not run rerank service on HPU yet require high performance and accuracy.

Quick Start Deployment Steps:

  1. Set up the environment variables.
  2. Run Docker Compose.
  3. Consume the ChatQnA Service.

Note: If you do not have docker installed you can run this script to install docker : bash docker_compose/install_docker.sh

Quick Start: 1.Setup Environment Variable

To set up environment variables for deploying ChatQnA services, follow these steps:

  1. Set the required environment variables:

    # Example: host_ip="192.168.1.1"
export host_ip="External_Public_IP"
# Example: no_proxy="localhost, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.1"
export no_proxy="Your_No_Proxy"
export HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN="Your_Huggingface_API_Token"

  2. If you are in a proxy environment, also set the proxy-related environment variables:

    export http_proxy="Your_HTTP_Proxy"
export https_proxy="Your_HTTPs_Proxy"

  3. Set up other environment variables:

    Notice that you can only choose one command below to set up envs according to your hardware. Other that the port numbers may be set incorrectly.

    # on Gaudi
source ./docker_compose/intel/hpu/gaudi/set_env.sh
# on Xeon
source ./docker_compose/intel/cpu/xeon/set_env.sh
# on Nvidia GPU
source ./docker_compose/nvidia/gpu/set_env.sh

Quick Start: 2.Run Docker Compose

Select the compose.yaml file that matches your hardware.

CPU example:

cd GenAIExamples/ChatQnA/docker_compose/intel/cpu/xeon/
# cd GenAIExamples/ChatQnA/docker_compose/intel/hpu/gaudi/
# cd GenAIExamples/ChatQnA/docker_compose/nvidia/gpu/
docker compose up -d

It will automatically download the docker image on docker hub:

docker pull opea/chatqna:latest
docker pull opea/chatqna-ui:latest

In following cases, you could build docker image from source by yourself.

  • Failed to download the docker image.

  • If you want to use a specific version of Docker image.

Please refer to the 'Build Docker Images' in Guide.

QuickStart: 3.Consume the ChatQnA Service

curl http://${host_ip}:8888/v1/chatqna \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "messages": "What is the revenue of Nike in 2023?"
    }'

Architecture and Deploy details

Loading

This ChatQnA use case performs RAG using LangChain, Redis VectorDB and Text Generation Inference on Intel Gaudi2 or Intel Xeon Scalable Processors. In the below, we provide a table that describes for each microservice component in the ChatQnA architecture, the default configuration of the open source project, hardware, port, and endpoint.

Gaudi default compose.yaml

MicroService Open Source Project HW Port Endpoint
Embedding Langchain Xeon 6000 /v1/embaddings
Retriever Langchain, Redis Xeon 7000 /v1/retrieval
Reranking Langchain, TEI Gaudi 8000 /v1/reranking
LLM Langchain, TGI Gaudi 9000 /v1/chat/completions
Dataprep Redis, Langchain Xeon 6007 /v1/dataprep

Required Models

By default, the embedding, reranking and LLM models are set to a default value as listed below:

Service Model
Embedding BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5
Reranking BAAI/bge-reranker-base
LLM Intel/neural-chat-7b-v3-3

Change the xxx_MODEL_ID in docker_compose/xxx/set_env.sh for your needs.

For customers with proxy issues, the models from ModelScope are also supported in ChatQnA. Refer to this readme for details.

Consume ChatQnA Service with RAG

Check Service Status

Before consuming ChatQnA Service, make sure the TGI/vLLM service is ready (which takes up to 2 minutes to start).

# TGI example
docker logs tgi-service | grep Connected

Consume ChatQnA service until you get the TGI response like below.

2024-09-03T02:47:53.402023Z  INFO text_generation_router::server: router/src/server.rs:2311: Connected

Upload RAG Files (Optional)

To chat with retrieved information, you need to upload a file using Dataprep service.

Here is an example of Nike 2023 pdf.

# download pdf file
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opea-project/GenAIComps/main/comps/retrievers/redis/data/nke-10k-2023.pdf
# upload pdf file with dataprep
curl -X POST "http://${host_ip}:6007/v1/dataprep" \
    -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
    -F "files=@./nke-10k-2023.pdf"

Consume Chat Service

Two ways of consuming ChatQnA Service:

  1. Use cURL command on terminal

    curl http://${host_ip}:8888/v1/chatqna \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "messages": "What is the revenue of Nike in 2023?"
    }'

  2. Access via frontend

    To access the frontend, open the following URL in your browser: http://{host_ip}:5173

    By default, the UI runs on port 5173 internally.

    If you choose conversational UI, use this URL: http://{host_ip}:5174

Troubleshooting

  1. If you get errors like "Access Denied", validate micro service first. A simple example:

    http_proxy="" curl ${host_ip}:6006/embed -X POST  -d '{"inputs":"What is Deep Learning?"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

  2. (Docker only) If all microservices work well, check the port ${host_ip}:8888, the port may be allocated by other users, you can modify the compose.yaml.

  3. (Docker only) If you get errors like "The container name is in use", change container name in compose.yaml.

Monitoring OPEA Service with Prometheus and Grafana dashboard

OPEA microservice deployment can easily be monitored through Grafana dashboards in conjunction with Prometheus data collection. Follow the README to setup Prometheus and Grafana servers and import dashboards to monitor the OPEA service.
