📝 About

Welcome to this Paul Graham Essay Bot - a friendly AI-powered system that demonstrates the power of Retrieval Augmented Generation using completely open source models! This application leverages modern AI technology to provide intelligent answers to your questions based on a collection of essays by Paul Graham, covering topics such as programming languages, startup culture, spam filtering, design principles, and the philosophy of hacking and innovation.

✨ Features

Open Source Models: Powered by NousResearch/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct for text generation and Snowflake/snowflake-arctic-embed-m for embeddings
HuggingFace Integration: Models deployed as serving endpoints on HuggingFace
Intelligent Retrieval: Utilizes RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) for accurate and contextual responses
Fast & Responsive: Async processing for quick responses even with large document collections
Content-Focused: Explore ideas and concepts from the essays, not just information about the author
