Install

  • Install from source (Recommend)
cd LightRAG
pip install -e .
  • Install from PyPI
pip install lightrag-hku

Quick Start

  • Video demo of running LightRAG locally.
  • All the code can be found in the examples.
  • Set OpenAI API key in environment if using OpenAI models: export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-...".
  • Download the demo text "A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens":
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gusye1234/nano-graphrag/main/tests/mock_data.txt > ./book.txt

Use the below Python snippet (in a script) to initialize LightRAG and perform queries:

importosfromlightragimportLightRAG, QueryParamfromlightrag.llmimportgpt_4o_mini_complete, gpt_4o_complete########## Uncomment the below two lines if running in a jupyter notebook to handle the async nature of rag.insert()# import nest_asyncio# nest_asyncio.apply()#########WORKING_DIR="./dickens"ifnotos.path.exists(WORKING_DIR):

rag=LightRAG(
working_dir=WORKING_DIR,
llm_model_func=gpt_4o_mini_complete# Use gpt_4o_mini_complete LLM model# llm_model_func=gpt_4o_complete # Optionally, use a stronger model
)
withopen("./book.txt") asf:
rag.insert(f.read())
# Perform naive searchprint(rag.query("What are the top themes in this story?", param=QueryParam(mode="naive")))
# Perform local searchprint(rag.query("What are the top themes in this story?", param=QueryParam(mode="local")))
# Perform global searchprint(rag.query("What are the top themes in this story?", param=QueryParam(mode="global")))
# Perform hybrid searchprint(rag.query("What are the top themes in this story?", param=QueryParam(mode="hybrid")))
Using Open AI-like APIs
  • LightRAG also supports Open AI-like chat/embeddings APIs:
asyncdefllm_model_func(
prompt, system_prompt=None, history_messages=[], **kwargs
) ->str:
returnawaitopenai_complete_if_cache(
"solar-mini",
prompt,
system_prompt=system_prompt,
history_messages=history_messages,
api_key=os.getenv("UPSTAGE_API_KEY"),
base_url="https://api.upstage.ai/v1/solar",
**kwargs
)
asyncdefembedding_func(texts: list[str]) ->np.ndarray:
returnawaitopenai_embedding(
texts,
model="solar-embedding-1-large-query",
api_key=os.getenv("UPSTAGE_API_KEY"),
base_url="https://api.upstage.ai/v1/solar"
)

llm_model_func=llm_model_func,
embedding_func=EmbeddingFunc(
embedding_dim=4096,
max_token_size=8192,

)
)
Using Hugging Face Models
  • If you want to use Hugging Face models, you only need to set LightRAG as follows:
fromlightrag.llmimporthf_model_complete, hf_embeddingfromtransformersimportAutoModel, AutoTokenizerfromlightrag.utilsimportEmbeddingFunc# Initialize LightRAG with Hugging Face modelrag=LightRAG(
working_dir=WORKING_DIR,
llm_model_func=hf_model_complete, # Use Hugging Face model for text generationllm_model_name='meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct', # Model name from Hugging Face# Use Hugging Face embedding functionembedding_func=EmbeddingFunc(
embedding_dim=384,
max_token_size=5000,
func=lambdatexts: hf_embedding(
texts,
tokenizer=AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2"),
embed_model=AutoModel.from_pretrained("sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
)
),
)
Using Ollama Models

Overview

If you want to use Ollama models, you need to pull model you plan to use and embedding model, for example nomic-embed-text.

Then you only need to set LightRAG as follows:

fromlightrag.llmimportollama_model_complete, ollama_embeddingfromlightrag.utilsimportEmbeddingFunc# Initialize LightRAG with Ollama modelrag=LightRAG(
working_dir=WORKING_DIR,
llm_model_func=ollama_model_complete, # Use Ollama model for text generationllm_model_name='your_model_name', # Your model name# Use Ollama embedding functionembedding_func=EmbeddingFunc(
embedding_dim=768,
max_token_size=8192,
func=lambdatexts: ollama_embedding(
texts,
embed_model="nomic-embed-text"
)
),
)

Using Neo4J for Storage

  • For production level scenarios you will most likely want to leverage an enterprise solution
  • for KG storage. Running Neo4J in Docker is recommended for seamless local testing.
  • See: https://hub.docker.com/_/neo4j
exportNEO4J_URI="neo4j://localhost:7687"exportNEO4J_USERNAME="neo4j"exportNEO4J_PASSWORD="password"WhenyoulaunchtheprojectbesuretooverridethedefaultKG: NetworkSbyspecifyingkg="Neo4JStorage".
# Note: Default settings use NetworkX#Initialize LightRAG with Neo4J implementation.WORKING_DIR="./local_neo4jWorkDir"rag=LightRAG(
working_dir=WORKING_DIR,
llm_model_func=gpt_4o_mini_complete, # Use gpt_4o_mini_complete LLM modelkg="Neo4JStorage", #<-----------override KG defaultlog_level="DEBUG"#<-----------override log_level default
)

see test_neo4j.py for a working example.

Increasing context size

In order for LightRAG to work context should be at least 32k tokens. By default Ollama models have context size of 8k. You can achieve this using one of two ways:

Increasing the num_ctx parameter in Modelfile.

  1. Pull the model:
ollama pull qwen2
  1. Display the model file:
ollama show --modelfile qwen2 > Modelfile
  1. Edit the Modelfile by adding the following line:
PARAMETER num_ctx 32768
  1. Create the modified model:
ollama create -f Modelfile qwen2m

Setup num_ctx via Ollama API.

Tiy can use llm_model_kwargs param to configure ollama:

rag=LightRAG(
working_dir=WORKING_DIR,
llm_model_func=ollama_model_complete, # Use Ollama model for text generationllm_model_name='your_model_name', # Your model namellm_model_kwargs={"options": {"num_ctx": 32768}},
# Use Ollama embedding functionembedding_func=EmbeddingFunc(
embedding_dim=768,
max_token_size=8192,
func=lambdatexts: ollama_embedding(
texts,
embed_model="nomic-embed-text"
)
),
)

Fully functional example

There fully functional example examples/lightrag_ollama_demo.py that utilizes gemma2:2b model, runs only 4 requests in parallel and set context size to 32k.

Low RAM GPUs

In order to run this experiment on low RAM GPU you should select small model and tune context window (increasing context increase memory consumption). For example, running this ollama example on repurposed mining GPU with 6Gb of RAM required to set context size to 26k while using gemma2:2b. It was able to find 197 entities and 19 relations on book.txt.

Reproduce

All the code can be found in the ./reproduce directory.

Step-0 Extract Unique Contexts

First, we need to extract unique contexts in the datasets.

Code
defextract_unique_contexts(input_directory, output_directory):
os.makedirs(output_directory, exist_ok=True)
jsonl_files=glob.glob(os.path.join(input_directory, '*.jsonl'))
print(f"Found {len(jsonl_files)} JSONL files.")
forfile_pathinjsonl_files:
filename=os.path.basename(file_path)
name, ext=os.path.splitext(filename)
output_filename=f"{name}_unique_contexts.json"output_path=os.path.join(output_directory, output_filename)
unique_contexts_dict= {}
print(f"Processing file: {filename}")
try:
withopen(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') asinfile:
forline_number, lineinenumerate(infile, start=1):
line=line.strip()
ifnotline:
continuetry:
json_obj=json.loads(line)
context=json_obj.get('context')
ifcontextandcontextnotinunique_contexts_dict:
unique_contexts_dict[context] =Noneexceptjson.JSONDecodeErrorase:
print(f"JSON decoding error in file {filename} at line {line_number}: {e}")
exceptFileNotFoundError:
print(f"File not found: {filename}")
continueexceptExceptionase:
print(f"An error occurred while processing file {filename}: {e}")
continueunique_contexts_list=list(unique_contexts_dict.keys())
print(f"There are {len(unique_contexts_list)} unique `context` entries in the file {filename}.")
try:
withopen(output_path, 'w', encoding='utf-8') asoutfile:
json.dump(unique_contexts_list, outfile, ensure_ascii=False, indent=4)
print(f"Unique `context` entries have been saved to: {output_filename}")
exceptExceptionase:
print(f"An error occurred while saving to the file {output_filename}: {e}")
print("All files have been processed.")

Step-1 Insert Contexts

For the extracted contexts, we insert them into the LightRAG system.

Code
definsert_text(rag, file_path):
withopen(file_path, mode='r') asf:
unique_contexts=json.load(f)
retries=0max_retries=3whileretries<max_retries:
try:
rag.insert(unique_contexts)
breakexceptExceptionase:
retries+=1print(f"Insertion failed, retrying ({retries}/{max_retries}), error: {e}")
time.sleep(10)
ifretries==max_retries:
print("Insertion failed after exceeding the maximum number of retries")

Step-2 Generate Queries

We extract tokens from the first and the second half of each context in the dataset, then combine them as dataset descriptions to generate queries.

Code
tokenizer=GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained('gpt2')
defget_summary(context, tot_tokens=2000):
tokens=tokenizer.tokenize(context)
half_tokens=tot_tokens//2start_tokens=tokens[1000:1000+half_tokens]
end_tokens=tokens[-(1000+half_tokens):1000]
summary_tokens=start_tokens+end_tokenssummary=tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_string(summary_tokens)
returnsummary

Step-3 Query

For the queries generated in Step-2, we will extract them and query LightRAG.

Code
defextract_queries(file_path):
withopen(file_path, 'r') asf:
data=f.read()
data=data.replace('**', '')
queries=re.findall(r'- Question \d+: (.+)', data)
returnqueries
