Code Execution

Khoj can generate and run very simple Python code snippets as well. This is useful if you want to generate a plot, run a simple calculation, or do some basic data manipulation. LLMs by default aren't skilled at complex quantitative tasks. Code generation & execution can come in handy for such tasks.

Just use /code in your chat command.

Setup (Self-Hosting)

Run Cohere's Terrarium on your machine to enable code generation and execution.

Check the instructions for running from source.

For running with Docker, you can use our docker-compose.yml, or start it manually like this:

docker pull ghcr.io/khoj-ai/terrarium:latest
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/khoj-ai/terrarium:latest

Verify

Verify that it's running, by evaluating a simple Python expression:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--url http://localhost:8080 \
--data-raw '{"code": "1 + 1"}' \
--no-buffer
