# rag-ollama-multi-query
This template performs RAG using Ollama and OpenAI with a multi-query retriever.
The multi-query retriever is an example of query transformation, generating multiple queries from different perspectives based on the user's input query.
For each query, it retrieves a set of relevant documents and takes the unique union across all queries for answer synthesis.
We use a private, local LLM for the narrow task of query generation to avoid excessive calls to a larger LLM API.
See an example trace for Ollama LLM performing the query expansion [here](https://smith.langchain.com/public/8017d04d-2045-4089-b47f-f2d66393a999/r).
But we use OpenAI for the more challenging task of answer syntesis (full trace example [here](https://smith.langchain.com/public/ec75793b-645b-498d-b855-e8d85e1f6738/r)).
## Environment Setup
To set up the environment, you need to download Ollama.
Follow the instructions [here](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/chat/ollama).
You can choose the desired LLM with Ollama.
This template uses `zephyr`, which can be accessed using `ollama pull zephyr`.
There are many other options available [here](https://ollama.ai/library).
Set the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable to access the OpenAI models.
## Usage
To use this package, you should first install the LangChain CLI:
```shell
pip install -U langchain-cli
```
To create a new LangChain project and install this package, do:
```shell
langchain app new my-app --package rag-ollama-multi-query
```
To add this package to an existing project, run:
```shell
langchain app add rag-ollama-multi-query
```
And add the following code to your `server.py` file:
```python
from rag_ollama_multi_query import chain as rag_ollama_multi_query_chain
add_routes(app, rag_ollama_multi_query_chain, path="/rag-ollama-multi-query")
```
(Optional) Now, let's configure LangSmith. LangSmith will help us trace, monitor, and debug LangChain applications. LangSmith is currently in private beta, you can sign up [here](https://smith.langchain.com/). If you don't have access, you can skip this section
```shell
export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
export LANGCHAIN_PROJECT=<your-project> # if not specified, defaults to "default"
```
If you are inside this directory, then you can spin up a LangServe instance directly by:
```shell
langchain serve
```
This will start the FastAPI app with a server running locally at [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
You can see all templates at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs](http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs)
You can access the playground at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/rag-ollama-multi-query/playground](http://127.0.0.1:8000/rag-ollama-multi-query/playground)
To access the template from code, use:
```python
from langserve.client import RemoteRunnable
runnable = RemoteRunnable("http://localhost:8000/rag-ollama-multi-query")
```
