Previous cross-encoder model was a few years old, newer models should
have improved in quality. Model size increases by 50% compared to
previous for better performance, at least on benchmarks
- Benefits of moving to llama-cpp-python from gpt4all:
- Support for all GGUF format chat models
- Support for AMD, Nvidia, Mac, Vulcan GPU machines (instead of just Vulcan, Mac)
- Supports models with more capabilities like tools, schema
enforcement, speculative ddecoding, image gen etc.
- Upgrade default chat model, prompt size, tokenizer for new supported
chat models
- Load offline chat model when present on disk without requiring internet
- Load model onto GPU if not disabled and device has GPU
- Load model onto CPU if loading model onto GPU fails
- Create helper function to check and load model from disk, when model
glob is present on disk.
`Llama.from_pretrained' needs internet to get repo info from
HuggingFace. This isn't required, if the model is already downloaded
Didn't find any existing HF or llama.cpp method that looked for model
glob on disk without internet
- Ensure langchain less than 0.2.0 is used, to prevent breaking
ChatOpenAI, PyMuPDF usage due to their deprecation after 0.2.0
- Set subscription renewal date to a timezone aware datetime
- Use logger.warning instead of logger.warn as latter is deprecated
- Use `model_dump' not deprecated dict to get all configured content_types
- Our pypi package currently does not work because the django app and associated database is not included. To remedy this issue, move the app into the src/khoj folder. This has the added benefit of improved organization of the codebase, as all server related code is now in a single folder
- Update associated file paths and system references
- Expose ability to modify search model via Django admin interface
- Previously the bi_encoder and cross_encoder models to use were set
in code
- Now it's user configurable but with a default config generated by
default
- Rather than having each individual user configure their conversation settings, allow the server admin to configure the OpenAI API key or offline model once, and let all the users re-use that code.
- To configure the settings, the admin should go to the `django/admin` page and configure the relevant chat settings. To create an admin, run `python3 src/manage.py createsuperuser` and enter in the details. For simplicity, the email and username should match.
- Remove deprecated/unnecessary endpoints and views for configuring per-user chat settings
### ✨ New
- Use API keys to authenticate from Desktop, Obsidian, Emacs clients
- Create API, UI on web app config page to CRUD API Keys
- Create user API keys table and functions to CRUD them in Database
### 🧪 Improve
- Default to better search model, [gte-small](https://huggingface.co/thenlper/gte-small), to improve search quality
- Only load chat model to GPU if enough space, throw error on load failure
- Show encoding progress, truncate headings to max chars supported
- Add instruction to create db in Django DB setup Readme
### ⚙️ Fix
- Fix error handling when configure offline chat via Web UI
- Do not warn in anon mode about Google OAuth env vars not being set
- Fix path to load static files when server started from project root
- Add a data model which allows us to store Conversations with users. This does a minimal lift over the current setup, where the underlying data is stored in a JSON file. This maintains parity with that configuration.
- There does _seem_ to be some regression in chat quality, which is most likely attributable to search results.
This will help us with #275. It should become much easier to maintain multiple Conversations in a given table in the backend now. We will have to do some thinking on the UI.
