🚀 LEVAL RAG Workspace

The most comprehensive, production-ready RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) toolkit in Rust.

Build end-to-end RAG systems with multi-provider LLM support, advanced retrieval strategies, and production-grade infrastructure.

🌟 Features

🤖 Multi-Provider LLM Support

OpenAI: GPT-4, GPT-3.5-Turbo with function calling
Anthropic Claude: Via OpenRouter (Sonnet, Opus, Haiku)
Local Models: Ollama integration for complete privacy
Azure OpenAI: Enterprise-grade deployment

🔍 Advanced Retrieval

Semantic Search: Vector similarity with multiple embedding models
Hybrid Search: Combine semantic and keyword search
Re-ranking: Advanced relevance scoring algorithms
Multi-modal: Text, images, and structured data retrieval

💾 Flexible Storage

Vector Databases: Qdrant, Chroma, Weaviate integration
Traditional DBs: PostgreSQL, SQLite support with vector extensions
Local Storage: File-based storage for development and testing

📊 Production Ready

HTTP API Server: RESTful API with WebSocket streaming
CLI Tools: Complete command-line interface for administration
Monitoring: Comprehensive observability and metrics
Evaluation: Built-in RAG quality assessment framework

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

# Install Rust
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

# Install Ollama for local models (optional)
curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh
ollama pull llama3.1

Basic RAG System

use rag_core::{RagSystem, RagConfig};
use rag_storage::SqliteStorage;
use rsllm::Client;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Configure the RAG system
    let config = RagConfig::builder()
        .llm_provider("openai")
        .model("gpt-4")
        .embedding_provider("openai")
        .storage_backend("sqlite")
        .build()?;
    
    // Initialize the RAG system
    let rag = RagSystem::new(config).await?;
    
    // Index documents
    rag.index_document("path/to/document.pdf").await?;
    
    // Query the system
    let response = rag.query("What is the main topic of the document?").await?;
    println!("Answer: {}", response.content);
    
    Ok(())
}

Local-First RAG (Complete Privacy)

use rag_core::{RagSystem, RagConfig};

#[tokio::main] 
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let config = RagConfig::builder()
        .llm_provider("ollama")
        .model("llama3.1")
        .embedding_provider("local")
        .embedding_model("all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
        .storage_backend("sqlite")
        .build()?;
    
    let rag = RagSystem::new(config).await?;
    
    // Everything runs locally - no external API calls
    let response = rag.query("Your sensitive question here").await?;
    
    Ok(())
}
