## 概述

🤖️ 一种利用 [langchain](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain)
思想实现的基于本地知识库的问答应用，目标期望建立一套对中文场景与开源模型支持友好、可离线运行的知识库问答解决方案。

💡 受 [GanymedeNil](https://github.com/GanymedeNil) 的项目 [document.ai](https://github.com/GanymedeNil/document.ai)
和 [AlexZhangji](https://github.com/AlexZhangji)
创建的 [ChatGLM-6B Pull Request](https://github.com/THUDM/ChatGLM-6B/pull/216)
启发，建立了全流程可使用开源模型实现的本地知识库问答应用。本项目的最新版本中可使用 [Xinference](https://github.com/xorbitsai/inference)、[Ollama](https://github.com/ollama/ollama)
等框架接入 [GLM-4-Chat](https://github.com/THUDM/GLM-4)、 [Qwen2-Instruct](https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen2)、 [Llama3](https://github.com/meta-llama/llama3)
等模型，依托于 [langchain](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain)
框架支持通过基于 [FastAPI](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi) 提供的 API
调用服务，或使用基于 [Streamlit](https://github.com/streamlit/streamlit) 的 WebUI 进行操作。



✅ 本项目支持市面上主流的开源 LLM、 Embedding 模型与向量数据库，可实现全部使用**开源**模型**离线私有部署**。与此同时，本项目也支持
OpenAI GPT API 的调用，并将在后续持续扩充对各类模型及模型 API 的接入。

⛓️ 本项目实现原理如下图所示，过程包括加载文件 -> 读取文本 -> 文本分割 -> 文本向量化 -> 问句向量化 ->
在文本向量中匹配出与问句向量最相似的 `top k`个 -> 匹配出的文本作为上下文和问题一起添加到 `prompt`中 -> 提交给 `LLM`生成回答。
