Ask Your PDF, locally

Answering question about 2303.12712 paper 7mb pdf file

This is an attempt to recreate Alejandro AO's langchain-ask-pdf (also check out his tutorial on YT) using open source models running locally.

It uses all-MiniLM-L6-v2 instead of OpenAI Embeddings, and StableVicuna-13B instead of OpenAI models.

It runs on the CPU, is impractically slow and was created more as an experiment, but I am still fairly happy with the results.

Requirements

GPU is not used and is not required.

You can squeeze it into 16 GB of RAM, but I recommend 24 GB or more.

Installation

• Install requirements (preferably to venv): pip install -r requirements.txt

• Download stable-vicuna-13B.ggml.q4_2.bin from TheBloke/stable-vicuna-13B-GGML and place it in project folder.

Usage

Run streamlit run .\app.py

This should launch the UI in your default browser. Select a PDF file, send the question, wait patiently.
