Knowledge Graph RAG

This example implements a GPU-accelerated pipeline for creating and querying knowledge graphs using RAG by leveraging NIM microservices and the RAPIDS ecosystem to process large-scale datasets efficiently.

Experience NVIDIA RAG Pipelines with just a few steps!

1. Get your NVIDIA API key.

   1. Go to the NVIDIA API Catalog.
   2. Select any model.
   3. Click Get API Key.
   4. Run:

      export NVIDIA_API_KEY=nvapi-...

2. Clone the repository.

   git clone https://github.com/nvidia/GenerativeAIExamples.git

3. Build and run the basic RAG pipeline.

   cd GenerativeAIExamples/RAG/examples/basic_rag/langchain/
   docker compose up -d --build

4. Go to https://localhost:8090/ and submit queries to the sample RAG Playground.

5. Stop containers when done.

   docker compose down

RAG Notebooks

NVIDIA has first-class support for popular generative AI developer frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Haystack. These end-to-end notebooks show how to integrate NIM microservices using your preferred generative AI development framework.

Use these notebooks to learn about the LangChain and LlamaIndex connectors.

LangChain Notebooks

• RAG
  • Basic RAG with CHATNVIDIA LangChain Integration
  • RAG using local NIM microservices for LLMs and Retrieval
  • RAG for HTML Documents
  • Chat with NVIDIA Financial Reports
• Agents
  • NIM Tool Calling 101
  • Agentic RAG with NeMo Retriever
  • Agents with Human in the Loop

LlamaIndex Notebooks

• Basic RAG with LlamaIndex Integration

RAG Examples

By default, these end-to-end examples use preview NIM endpoints on NVIDIA API Catalog. Alternatively, you can run any of the examples on premises.

Basic RAG Examples

• LangChain example
• LlamaIndex example

Advanced RAG Examples

• Multi-Turn
• Multimodal Data
• Structured Data (CSV)
• Query Decomposition

RAG Tools

Example tools and tutorials to enhance LLM development and productivity when using NVIDIA RAG pipelines.
