The article explores the implementation of a local Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) application using the Llama 3.2 model and Marqo, a vector search engine, to enhance the functionality of a Question and Answer (Q&A) system. Llama 3.2, specifically the 1B parameter GGUF model, is used for smooth local deployment, while Marqo facilitates the storage and retrieval of knowledge to augment the LLM's responses. The setup involves a structured project with frontend and backend components, requiring both Node.js and Python environments, and utilizes Docker to run Marqo. The process includes setting up a frontend interface for user interaction, obtaining and configuring Llama models from the Hugging Face hub, and using Marqo to manage knowledge input, which ultimately improves the LLM's response accuracy by providing contextual information.
