- Swap LLMs anytime – Switch between 100+ LLMs via LiteLLM or run local models.
- Type-safe LLM calls – Use Python generics to enforce strict type safety in model interactions.
- Bring your own vector store – Connect to Qdrant, PgVector, and more with built-in support.
- Developer tools included – Manage vector stores, query pipelines, and test prompts from your terminal.
- Modular installation – Install only what you need, reducing dependencies and improving performance.
- Ingest 20+ formats – Process PDFs, HTML, spreadsheets, presentations, and more. Process data using Docling, Unstructured or create a custom parser.
- Handle complex data – Extract tables, images, and structured content with built-in VLMs support.
- Connect to any data source – Use prebuilt connectors for S3, GCS, Azure, or implement your own.
- Scale ingestion – Process large datasets quickly with Ray-based parallel processing.
- Real-time observability – Track performance with OpenTelemetry and CLI insights.
- Built-in testing – Validate prompts with promptfoo before deployment.
- Auto-optimization – Continuously evaluate and refine model performance.
- Chat UI – Deploy chatbot interface with API, persistance and user feedback.
To get started quickly, you can install with:
This is a starter bundle of packages, containing:
- ragbits-core - fundamental tools for working with prompts, LLMs and vector databases.
- ragbits-agents - abstractions for building agentic systems.
- ragbits-document-search - retrieval and ingestion piplines for knowledge bases.
- ragbits-evaluate - unified evaluation framework for Ragbits components.
- ragbits-chat - full-stack infrastructure for building conversational AI applications.
- ragbits-cli - ragbits shell command for interacting with Ragbits components.
Alternatively, you can use individual components of the stack by installing their respective packages.
To define a prompt and run LLM:
import asyncio
from pydantic import BaseModel
from ragbits.core.llms import LiteLLM
from ragbits.core.prompt import Prompt
class QuestionAnswerPromptInput(BaseModel):
question: str
class QuestionAnswerPromptOutput(BaseModel):
answer: str
class QuestionAnswerPrompt(Prompt[QuestionAnswerPromptInput, QuestionAnswerPromptOutput]):
system_prompt = """
You are a question answering agent. Answer the question to the best of your ability.
"""
user_prompt = """
Question: {{ question }}
"""
llm = LiteLLM(model_name="gpt-4.1-nano", use_structured_output=True)
async def main() -> None:
prompt = QuestionAnswerPrompt(QuestionAnswerPromptInput(question="What are high memory and low memory on linux?"))
response = await llm.generate(prompt)
print(response.answer)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
To build and query a simple vector store index:
import asyncio
from ragbits.core.embeddings import LiteLLMEmbedder
from ragbits.core.vector_stores import InMemoryVectorStore
from ragbits.document_search import DocumentSearch
embedder = LiteLLMEmbedder(model_name="text-embedding-3-small")
vector_store = InMemoryVectorStore(embedder=embedder)
document_search = DocumentSearch(vector_store=vector_store)
async def run() -> None:
await document_search.ingest("web://https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762")
result = await document_search.search("What are the key findings presented in this paper?")
print(result)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(run())
To build a simple RAG pipeline:
import asyncio
from pydantic import BaseModel
from ragbits.core.embeddings import LiteLLMEmbedder
from ragbits.core.llms import LiteLLM
from ragbits.core.prompt import Prompt
from ragbits.core.vector_stores import InMemoryVectorStore

If in the given context there is not enough information refuse to answer.
"""
user_prompt = """
Question: {{ question }}
Context: {% for item in context %}
{{ item }}
{%- endfor %}
"""
embedder = LiteLLMEmbedder(model_name="text-embedding-3-small")
