Intelligence Layer Release 1.0.0
We're happy to announce the public release of our Intelligence Layer-SDK.
The Aleph Alpha Intelligence Layer️ offers a comprehensive suite of development tools for crafting solutions that harness the capabilities of large language models (LLMs). With a unified framework for LLM-based workflows, it facilitates seamless AI product development, from prototyping and prompt experimentation to result evaluation and deployment.
The key features of the Intelligence Layer are:
- Composability: Streamline your journey from prototyping to scalable deployment. The Intelligence Layer SDK offers seamless integration with diverse evaluation methods, manages concurrency, and orchestrates smaller tasks into complex workflows.
- Evaluability: Continuously evaluate your AI applications against your quantitaive quality requirements. With the Intelligence Layer SDK you can quickly iterate on different solution strategies, ensuring confidence in the performance of your final product. Take inspiration from the provided evaluations for summary and search when building a custom evaluation logic for your own use case.
- Traceability: At the core of the Intelligence Layer is the belief that all AI processes must be auditable and traceable. We provide full observability by seamlessly logging each step of every workflow. This enhances your debugging capabilities and offers greater control post-deployment when examining model responses.
- Examples: Get started by following our hands-on examples, demonstrating how to use the Intelligence Layer SDK and interact with its API.
Artifactory Deployment
You can access and download the SDK via the JFrog artifactory. In order to make use of the SDK in your own project, you have to add it as a dependency to your poetry setup via the following two steps.
First, add the artifactory as a source to your project via
poetry source add --priority=explicit artifactory https://alephalpha.jfrog.io/artifactory/api/pypi/python/simple
Second, add the Intelligence Layer to the project
poetry add --source artifactory intelligence-layer
What's new with version 1.0.0
Llama support
With the Llama2InstructModel
and the Llama3InstructModel
, we now also support using Llama2 and Llama3 models in the
Aleph Alpha IL.
These InstructModels can make use of the following options:
Llama2InstructModel | Llama3InstructModel |
---|---|
llama-2-7b-chat | llama-3-8b-instruct |
llama-2-13b-chat | llama-3-70b-instruct |
llama-2-70b-chat |
DocumentIndexClient
The DocumentIndexClient
has been enhanced and now offers new features.
You are now able to create your own index in a namespace and assign/delete it to/from individual collections.
The DocumentIndex now chunks and embeds all documents in a collection for each index assigned to this collection.
The full extent of its newly added features include:
create_index
index_configuration
assign_index_to_collection
delete_index_from_collection
list_assigned_index_names
Miscellaneous
Apart from the major changes, we introduced some minor features, such as:
ExpandChunks
-task now caches chunked documents by IDDocumentIndexRetriever
now supportsindex_name
Runner.run_dataset
now has a configurable number of workers viamax_workers
and defaults to the previous value, which is 10.- In case a
BusyError
is raised during acomplete
theLimitedConcurrencyClient
will retry untilmax_retry_time
is reached.
Breaking Changes
The HuggingFaceDatasetRepository
now has a parameter caching, which caches examples of a dataset once loaded. This is True
by default and drastically reduces network traffic.
For a non-breaking change, set it to False.
The MultipleChunkRetrieverQa
does not take insert_chunk_size
-parameter anymore but now receives a ExpandChunks
-task.
The issue_cassification_user_journey
notebook moved to its own repository.
The Trace Viewer has been exported to its own repository and can be accessed via the JFrog artifact here.
We also removed the TraceViewer from the repository, but it is still accessible in the Docker container.
Fixes
HuggingFaceRepository
no longer is a dataset repository. This also means that HuggingFaceAggregationRepository
no longer is a dataset repository.
The input parameter of the DocumentIndex.search()
-function now has been renamed from index
to index_name
