Build, deploy, observe, and optimize your RAG system.
# About
R2R (Rag to Riches) is the ultimate open-source framework for building and deploying high-quality Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Designed to bridge the gap between local LLM experimentation and scalable, production-ready applications, R2R provides a comprehensive, feature-rich environment for developers.
For a more complete view of R2R, check out our [documentation](https://r2r-docs.sciphi.ai/).
## Key Features
- **📁 Multimodal Support**: Ingest files ranging from `.txt`, `.pdf`, `.json` to `.png`, `.mp3`, and more.
- **🔍 Hybrid Search**: Combine semantic and keyword search with reciprocal rank fusion for enhanced relevancy.
- **🔗 Graph RAG**: Automatically extract relationships and build knowledge graphs.
- **🗂️ App Management**: Efficiently manage documents and users with rich observability and analytics.
- **🌐 Client-Server**: RESTful API support out of the box.
- **🧩 Configurable**: Provision your application using intuitive configuration files.
- **🔌 Extensible**: Develop your application further with easy builder + factory pattern.
- **🖥️ Dashboard**: Use the [R2R Dashboard](https://github.com/SciPhi-AI/R2R-Dashboard), an open-source React+Next.js app for a user-friendly interaction with your pipelines.

# Quick Install:
Installing with Pip 🐍
```bash
# use the `'r2r[all]'` to download all required deps
pip install r2r
# setup env
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
```
Installing with Docker 🐳
To run R2R using Docker, you can use the following commands:
```bash filename="bash" copy
docker pull emrgntcmplxty/r2r:latest
```
This will pull the latest R2R Docker image.
Be sure to set an OpenAI API key in your environment and then run the container with:
```bash filename="bash" copy
docker run -d \
--name r2r \
--add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
-p 8000:8000 \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY \
emrgntcmplxty/r2r:latest
```
This command starts the R2R container with the following options:
- `--name r2r`: Assigns the name "r2r" to the container.
- `--add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway`: Adds a host entry for the Docker host.
- `-p 8000:8000`: Maps port 8000 of the container to port 8000 of the host.
- `-e OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY`: Pulls your OpenAI API key from your local enviornment for use in the container.
- `emrgntcmplxty/r2r:latest`: Specifies the Docker image to use.
# R2R Python SDK Demo
The following demo offers a step-by-step guide on running the default R2R Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline using the Python SDK. The demo ingests a list of provided provided documents and demonstrates search, RAG, and advanced functionality. The script at `r2r/examples/demo.py`, which powers the demo, can be configured and extended with sufficient developer familiarity.

Interacting with your Documents
1. **Ingesting Files**:
To comprehensively demonstrate the RAG functionalities of the R2R framework, we must start by ingesting a realistic set of documents. Running the command below will parse, chunk, embed, and store a preset list of files. The included file types cover HTML, PDF, PNG, and TXT examples:
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo ingest_as_files
```
**Demo Output:**
```plaintext

...
```
2. **Document Info**:
To verify the successful ingestion of the demo documents, you can fetch the metadata for the uploaded documents associated with the default demo user ID:
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo documents_info
```
**Demo Output:**
```plaintext
[
DocumentInfo(
document_id=UUID('c9bdbac7-0ea3-5c9e-b590-018bd09b127b'),
version='v0',
size_in_bytes=73353,
metadata={'title': 'aristotle.txt', 'user_id': '063edaf8-3e63-4cb9-a4d6-a855f36376c3'},
title='aristotle.txt'
),
...
]
```
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo users_stats
```
```plaintext
[
UserStats(
user_id=UUID('063edaf8-3e63-4cb9-a4d6-a855f36376c3'),

document_ids=[UUID('c9bdbac7-0ea3-5c9e-b590-018bd09b127b'), ...]
),
]
```
Basic RAG Functionality
1. **Search Documents**
Documents are stored by default in a local vector database. The vector database provider and settings can be specified via an input `config.json`. To perform a search query on the ingested user documents, use the following command:
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo search --query="Who was Aristotle?"
```
**Demo Output:**
```plaintext
{
'id': UUID('93c44e73-8e95-50c2-84af-6a42f070b552'),
'score': 0.7739712385010018,
'metadata':
{
'document_id': '15255e98-e245-5b58-a57f-6c51babf72dd',
'extraction_id': '5c61f9b9-b468-5fd7-8eb1-5d797a15c484',
'text': 'Aristotle[A] (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotélēs, pronounced [aristotélɛːs]; 384–322 BC) was an Ancient Greek philosopher and polymath. His writings cover a broad range of subjects spanning the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology, and the arts. As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens, he began
the wider Aristotelian tradition that followed, which set the groundwork for the development of modern science.',
'title': 'aristotle.txt',
'user_id': '063edaf8-3e63-4cb9-a4d6-a855f36376c3',
'associatedQuery': 'Who was Aristotle?'
}
},
...
```
2. **Completion Response**:
To generate a response for a query using RAG, execute the following command:
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo rag --query="What was Uber's profit in 2020?"
```
**Demo Output:**
```plaintext
...
Time taken to run RAG: 2.29 seconds
{'results':
[
ChatCompletion(

)
]
}
```
3. **Streaming Response**:
For streaming results from a RAG query, use the following command:
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo rag --query="What was Lyft's profit in 2020?" --streaming=true
```
**Demo Output:**
```plaintext
r2r.main.r2r_config - INFO - Loading configuration from /config.json - 2024-05-20 22:27:31,890
...
["{\"id\":\"808c47c5-ebef-504a-a230-aa9ddcfbd87 ....
Lyft reported a net loss of $1,752,857,000 in 2020 according to [2]. Therefore, Lyft did not make a profit in 2020.
Time taken to stream RAG response: 2.79 seconds
```
Document Management
1. **Update Document**:
To update document(s) we may use the `update_as_files` or `update_as_documents` endpoints. Running the demo with `update_as_files` overwrites the data associated with 'aristotle.txt' with new data corresponding to 'aristotle_v2.txt' and increments the file version.
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo update_as_files
```
2. **Document Deletion**:
To delete a document by its ID, or any other metadata field, use the delete command. For example, to delete all chunks corresponding to the uploaded file `aristotle.txt`, we can call delete on the metadata field `document_id` with the value `15255e98-e245-5b58-a57f-6c51babf72dd`:
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo delete --keys="['document_id']" --values="['c9bdbac7-0ea3-5c9e-b590-018bd09b127b']"
```
3. **User Specific Document Deletion**:
To delete all documents associated with a given user, run the delete command on the `user_id`:
```bash
# run the following command with care, as it will erase all ingested user data for `063edaf8-3e63-4cb9-a4d6-a855f36376c3`
python -m r2r.examples.demo delete --keys="['user_id']" --values="['063edaf8-3e63-4cb9-a4d6-a855f36376c3']"
```
R2R in Client-Server Mode
The R2R framework extends to support interactions with a client-server architecture. The R2R server can be stood up to handle requests, while the client can communicate with the server to perform various operations.
### Launch the Server
Use the following command to start the server:
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo serve
```
This command starts the R2R server on the default host `0.0.0.0` and port `8000`.
### Example Commands
1. **Ingest Documents as Files**:
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo ingest_as_files --client_server_mode
```
This command will send the ingestion request to the server running at `http://localhost:8000`.
2. **Perform a Search**:
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo search --query="Who was Aristotle?" --client_server_mode
```
This command sends the search query to the server and retrieves the results.
3. **Run a RAG Completion**:
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo rag --query="What was Uber's profit in 2020?" --client_server_mode
```
This command sends the RAG query to the server and retrieves the generated response.
4. **Run a RAG Stream**:
```bash
python -m r2r.examples.demo rag --query="What was Lyft's profit in 2020?" --streaming=true --client_server_mode
```
This command streams the RAG query results from the server.
### Client-Server Summary
By using the Client-Server model, you can extend the basic R2R demo to support more scalable and modular deployments. The server handles requests and performs heavy computations, while clients can communicate with the server to perform ingestion, search, RAG, and other operations, as shown in the examples above. For detailed setup and basic functionality, refer back to the [R2R Demo](#r2r-demo).
