In this thrilling episode from James Briggs, we dive headfirst into the world of building local agents using Langra and the powerful Llama 3.1 8B model. Langra, a creation from the ingenious minds at Lang chain, allows us to construct agents within a dynamic graph structure. Meanwhile, Llama, an open-source gem, provides the means to run LLMs locally with remarkable ease. Forget the mundane, this is where the real action begins.
Our journey kicks off with a download of Llama for Mac OS, followed by the setup of a Python environment by cloning the examples repository. Perry is installed, and the stage is set for running the notebook in VS Code. But hold on tight, because things are about to get even more exhilarating. Enter the Reddit API, a gateway to a treasure trove of pizza recommendations in Rome. By signing up and obtaining the necessary keys, users can tap into a world of culinary insights.
With the Reddit API as our trusty sidekick, we embark on a quest to unearth the best pizza joints in Rome. Armed with the Python Reddit API wrapper, we scour submissions, titles, descriptions, and top-rated comments to curate a feast of information. The retrieved data is deftly formatted for an LM-friendly presentation, setting the stage for the grand reveal of our pizza paradise. As the Oracle component takes the helm, decisions are made based on queries, leading us on a thrilling chase through the labyrinth of search and final answer tools.
In a bold move, James Briggs champions the direct use of Ol Llama over Line Chain's functions, citing a preference for the former's straightforward approach. The agent's state is primed and ready, drawing on past knowledge shared in a Langra video by the maestro himself. As the agent's architecture unfolds, we witness a symphony of interaction between the Oracle, search, and final answer tools, culminating in a tantalizing recommendation for the ultimate pizza experience in Rome. Brace yourselves, for this is not just a journey—it's a high-octane adventure into the heart of AI innovation.
