If you’ve found your way here, you’re probably already excited about the potential of the RAGFlow project and eager to see it in action. I was in the same position, so I delved into the codebase to see how it could work with custom large language models (LLMs). This post will walk you through my findings and show you how to get RAGFlow running with your own LLM.As of now (November 8, 2024), RAGFlow offers limited support for local LLMs, and vLLM isn’t yet compatible. In our case, we needed to test it on a company project with strict dat...

Picture this: AI isn't just about robots and sci-fi movies anymore. It's shaking things up in the tech industry, especially web development.So, what's the deal with AI and web development? Let's break it down. In a nutshell, AI refers to machines performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. When we talk about AI in web development, we're talking about smart algorithms and systems that can make websites smarter, faster, and more user-friendly. Why should you care about this? Well, imagine you're building a website. You want it to stand out, right? But can you do it on your o...

Recently, I encountered an issue with an app I maintain—it suddenly stopped pulling RSS feeds from TechCrunch. At first, I suspected that the RSS feed URL might have changed. However, after further investigation, I discovered a different story. The URL itself was unchanged, but the results varied depending on where the request was coming from.To troubleshoot, I started by setting up a local web server and running a test with my script to see if it could still pull the RSS feed. The script, written in PHP, simply sends a cURL request to the TechCrunch RSS feed.<?phpfunction get($url, $...

Artificial General Intelligence(AGI) has long been a topic of fascination and concern for technology leaders, with some seeing it as humanity's ultimate tool, while others view it as an existential threat. This clash of perspectives was on full display during the acquisition of DeepMind by Google in 2014, as two tech titans, Elon Musk and Larry Page, found themselves on opposite sides of the debate. While Page saw AGI as a necessary and desirable step in humanity's evolution, Musk was more wary of its potential to destroy humanity. Their differing perspectives set the stage for a fascinating c...

Our world to day is so driven by technology that it’s easy to stay on top of the major changes and developments. We know when there’s a major new innovation in personal electronics; we know that the 5G network is rolling out this year; we track the progress of smart cars, learning thermostats, and interactive home speakers. We even tend to care about how major tech companies around the world are performing! However, as “plugged in” as we all seem to be to the world of technological development, there are also plenty of pretty big things happening that we tend to overloo...

The growth of computerization and Artificial Intelligence implanted into our regular daily existences in the course of recent years is only productive, we're no longer talk about fantasy since machines are going on at this very moment. This quick advancement has propelled a radically new age of designers to search for client-focused arrangements through the extent of these innovations. Along these lines, we need to investigate what this implies for UX plan in 2018 and what standards we should grasp to be fruitful in our methodology.1. Think cooperatively, not intenselyArtificial intelligence f...

Google released a new smart messaging application a couple of weeks ago -- Google Allo. At first glance, it has no much difference than other mature messaging applications on the market such as What's App, Line, WeChat. It has a concise and easy to use user interface and comes with stickers, doodles, and HUGE emojis & text. But do we really need a new messaging application which is similar to others in most aspects?The answer is MAYBE. From its description, it claims it's a SMART messaging application. What brings its smartness? It's Google Assistant, a personal assistant which c...

Will AIs find humans interesting, enjoyable, and worthy of companionship? My guess: the smarter and more autonomous they become the more the answer will become NO. There are practical reasons for AIs to want to understand humans: The AIs will want to protect themselves from all threats, including human threads. The AIs will also want to get more resources (e.g. energy, raw materials for fabrication of additional computing power). The extent that humans control access to resources AIs will want to trade with them unless the AIs decide they can take the resources by force.But why should AIs find...
