📝 Guest Post: Local Agentic RAG with LangGraph and Llama 3*
Was this email forwarded to you? Sign up here In this guest post, Stephen Batifol from Zilliz discusses how to build agents capable of tool-calling using LangGraph with Llama 3 and Milvus. Let’s dive in. LLM agents use planning, memory, and tools to accomplish tasks. Here, we show how to build agents capable of tool-calling using LangGraph with Llama 3 and Milvus. Agents can empower Llama 3 with important new capabilities. In particular, we will show how to give Llama 3 the ability to perform a web search, call custom user-defined functions Tool-calling agents with LangGraph use two nodes: an LLM node decides which tool to invoke based on the user input. It outputs the tool name and tool arguments based on the input. The tool name and arguments are passed to a tool node, which calls the tool with the specified arguments and returns the result to the LLM. Milvus Lite allows you to use Milvus locally without using Docker or Kubernetes. It will store the vectors you generate from the different websites we will navigate to. Introduction to Agentic RAGLanguage models can't take actions themselves—they just output text. Agents are systems that use LLMs as reasoning engines to determine which actions to take and the inputs to pass them. After executing actions, the results can be transmitted back into the LLM to determine whether more actions are needed or if it is okay to finish. They can be used to perform actions such as Searching the web, browsing your emails, correcting RAG to add self-reflection or self-grading on retrieved documents, and many more. Setting things up
Using LangGraph and MilvusWe use LangGraph to build a custom local Llama 3-powered RAG agent that uses different approaches: We implement each approach as a control flow in LangGraph:
General ideas for Agents
Examples of AgentsTo showcase the capabilities of our LLM agents, let's look into two key components: the Hallucination Grader and the Answer Grader. While the full code is available at the bottom of this post, these snippets will provide a better understanding of how these agents work within the LangChain framework. Hallucination GraderThe Hallucination Grader tries to fix a common challenge with LLMs: hallucinations, where the model generates answers that sound plausible but lack factual grounding. This agent acts as a fact-checker, assessing if the LLM's answer aligns with a provided set of documents retrieved from Milvus.
Answer GraderFollowing the Hallucination Grader, another agent steps in. This agent checks another crucial aspect: ensuring the LLM's answer directly addresses the user's original question. It utilizes the same LLM but with a different prompt, specifically designed to evaluate the answer's relevance to the question.
You can see in the code above that we are checking the predictions by the LLM that we use as a classifier. Compiling the LangGraph graph.This will compile all the agents that we defined and will make it possible to use different tools for your RAG system.
ConclusionIn this blog post, we showed how to build a RAG system using agents with LangChain/ LangGraph, Llama 3, and Milvus. These agents make it possible for LLMs to have planning, memory, and different tool use capabilities, which can lead to more robust and informative responses.
