Who it is forA developer adding chat-with-your-docs to a product, using LangChain or LlamaIndex.
The problemWithout a proper vector store, retrieval is slow and does not scale past a demo.
The outcomeA RAG app that retrieves relevant chunks from Milvus and passes them to your LLM.
What you need first
- Python and the pymilvus SDK
- Milvus Lite for a local file, or a deployed Milvus server or Zilliz Cloud with credentials
- An embedding model to create vectors
Steps
- Install
pip install -U pymilvusand set up Milvus Lite or connect to a server - Follow the Build RAG with Milvus tutorial linked in the README
- Embed your chunks and insert them with their text as fields
- Retrieve with
client.searchand pass the returned text to your LLM - Use the LangChain or LlamaIndex integration if you already use those frameworks
Prompt for your agent
Build a RAG pipeline for <documents> on milvus-io/milvus following the Build RAG with Milvus tutorial: chunk, embed with <model>, insert, retrieve top 3 with client.search and answer with <LLM>. Test it on <questions>.
Caveat. The README links to the tutorial for full code; answer quality depends on your chunking and embedding model.
