llmware provides a unified framework for building LLM-based applications (e.g, RAG, Agents), using small, specialized models that can be deployed privately, integrated with enterprise knowledge sources safely and securely, and cost-effectively tuned and adapted for any business process.
llmware has two main components:
-
RAG Pipeline - integrated components for the full lifecycle of connecting knowledge sources to generative AI models; and
-
50+ small, specialized models fine-tuned for key tasks in enterprise process automation, including fact-based question-answering, classification, summarization, and extraction.
By bringing together both of these components, along with integrating leading open source models and underlying technologies, llmware offers a comprehensive set of tools to rapidly build knowledge-based enterprise LLM applications.
Most of our examples can be run without a GPU server - get started right away on your laptop.

Model Catalog: Access all models the same way with easy lookup, regardless of underlying implementation.

# - embeddings and queries are run against a library
lib = Library().create_new_library("my_library")

"answer": "1987.",
"context": "The attendees became the leaders of AI research in the 1960s."
" They and their students produced programs that the press described as 'astonishing': "
"computers were learning checkers strategies, solving word problems in algebra, "
"proving logical theorems and speaking English. By the middle of the 1960s, research in "
"the U.S. was heavily funded by the Department of Defense and laboratories had been "
"established around the world. Herbert Simon predicted, 'machines will be capable, "
"within twenty years, of doing any work a man can do'. Marvin Minsky agreed, writing, "
"'within a generation ... the problem of creating 'artificial intelligence' will "
"substantially be solved'. They had, however, underestimated the difficulty of the problem. "
"Both the U.S. and British governments cut off exploratory research in response "
"to the criticism of Sir James Lighthill and ongoing pressure from the US Congress "
"to fund more productive projects. Minsky's and Papert's book Perceptrons was understood "
"as proving that artificial neural networks approach would never be useful for solving "
"real-world tasks, thus discrediting the approach altogether. The 'AI winter', a period "
"when obtaining funding for AI projects was difficult, followed. In the early 1980s, "
"AI research was revived by the commercial success of expert systems, a form of AI "
"program that simulated the knowledge and analytical skills of human experts. By 1985, "
"the market for AI had reached over a billion dollars. At the same time, Japan's fifth "
"generation computer project inspired the U.S. and British governments to restore funding "
"for academic research. However, beginning with the collapse of the Lisp Machine market "
"in 1987, AI once again fell into disrepute, and a second, longer-lasting winter began."},

The llmware repo can be pulled locally to get access to all the examples, or to work directly with the latest version of the llmware code.
git clone [email protected]:llmware-ai/llmware.gitWe have provided a welcome_to_llmware automation script in the root of the repository folder. After cloning:
- On Windows command line:
.\welcome_to_llmware_windows.sh - On Mac / Linux command line:
sh ./welcome_to_llmware.sh
Alternatively, if you prefer to complete setup without the welcome automation script, then the next steps include:
-
install requirements.txt - inside the /llmware path - e.g.,
pip3 install -r llmware/requirements.txt -
install requirements_extras.txt - inside the /llmware path - e.g.,
pip3 install -r llmware/requirements_extras.txt(Depending upon your use case, you may not need all or any of these installs, but some of these will be used in the examples.) -
run examples - copy one or more of the example .py files into the root project path. (We have seen several IDEs that will attempt to run interactively from the nested /example path, and then not have access to the /llmware module - the easy fix is to just copy the example you want to run into the root path).
-
install vector db - no-install vector db options include milvus lite, chromadb, faiss and lancedb - which do not require a server install, but do require that you install the python sdk library for that vector db, e.g.,
pip3 install pymilvus, orpip3 install chromadb. If you look in examples/Embedding, you will see examples for getting started with various vector DB, and in the root of the repo, you will see easy-to-get-started docker compose scripts for installing milvus, postgres/pgvector, mongo, qdrant, neo4j, and redis. -
Pytorch 2.3 note: we have seen recently issues with Pytorch==2.3 on some platforms - if you run into any issues, we have seen that uninstalling Pytorch and downleveling to Pytorch==2.1 usually solves the problem.
-
Numpy 2.0 note: we have seen issues with numpy 2.0 with many libraries not yet supporting. Our pip install setup will accept numpy 2.0 (to avoid pip conflicts), but if you pull from repo, we restrict to <2. If you run into issues with numpy, we have found that they can be fixed by downgrading numpy to <2, e.g., 1.26.4. To use WhisperCPP, you should downlevel to numpy <2.
Fast Start: use SQLite3 and ChromaDB (File-based) out-of-the-box - no install required

curl -o docker-compose.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llmware-ai/llmware/main/docker-compose-redis-stack.yaml- SLIM model series: small, specialized models fine-tuned for function calling and multi-step, multi-model Agent workflows.
- DRAGON model series: Production-grade RAG-optimized 6-9B parameter models - "Delivering RAG on ..." the leading foundation base models.
- BLING model series: Small CPU-based RAG-optimized, instruct-following 1B-5B parameter models.
- Industry BERT models: out-of-the-box custom trained sentence transformer embedding models fine-tuned for the following industries: Insurance, Contracts, Asset Management, SEC.
- GGUF Quantization: we provide 'gguf' and 'tool' versions of many SLIM, DRAGON and BLING models, optimized for CPU deployment.
LLMWare is an open platform and supports a wide range of open source and proprietary models. To use LLMWare, you do not need to use any proprietary LLM - we would encourage you to experiment with SLIM, BLING, DRAGON, Industry-BERT, the GGUF examples, along with bringing in your favorite models from HuggingFace and Sentence Transformers.
If you would like to use a proprietary model, you will need to provide your own API Keys. API keys and secrets for models, aws, and pinecone can be set-up for use in environment variables or passed directly to method calls.
✨ Roadmap - Where are we going ...
- 💡 Making it easy to deploy fine-tuned open source models to build state-of-the-art RAG workflows
- 💡 Private cloud - keeping documents, data pipelines, data stores, and models safe and secure
- 💡 Model quantization, especially GGUF, and democratizing the game-changing use of 1-9B CPU-based LLMs
- 💡 Developing small specialized RAG optimized LLMs between 1B-9B parameters
- 💡 Industry-specific LLMs, embedding models and processes to support core knowledge-based use cases
- 💡 Enterprise scalability - containerization, worker deployments and Kubernetes
- 💡 Integration of SQL and other scale enterprise data sources
- 💡 Multi-step, multi-model Agent-based workflows with small, specialized function-calling models
Like our models, we aspire for llmware to be "small, but mighty" - easy to use and get started, but packing a powerful punch!
