RAG AutoML tool for automatically finding an optimal RAG pipeline for your data.
There are many RAG pipelines and modules out there, but you don’t know what pipeline is great for “your own data” and "your own use-case." Making and evaluating all RAG modules is very time-consuming and hard to do. But without it, you will never know which RAG pipeline is the best for your own use-case.
AutoRAG is a tool for finding the optimal RAG pipeline for “your data.” You can evaluate various RAG modules automatically with your own evaluation data and find the best RAG pipeline for your own use-case.
AutoRAG supports a simple way to evaluate many RAG module combinations. Try now and find the best RAG pipeline for your own use-case.

Do you have any difficulties in optimizing your RAG pipeline? Or is it hard to set up things to use AutoRAG? Try AutoRAG Cloud beta. We will help you to run AutoRAG and optimize. Plus, we can help you to build RAG evaluation dataset.
Starts with 9.99$ per optimization.

We recommend using Python version 3.10 or higher for AutoRAG.
pip install AutoRAGIf you want to use the local models, you need to install gpu version.
pip install "AutoRAG[gpu]"Or for parsing, you can use the parsing version.
pip install "AutoRAG[gpu,parse]"
RAG Optimization requires two types of data: QA dataset and Corpus dataset.
- QA dataset file (qa.parquet)
- Corpus dataset file (corpus.parquet)
QA dataset is important for accurate and reliable evaluation and optimization.
Corpus dataset is critical to the performance of RAGs. This is because RAG uses the corpus to retrieve documents and generate answers using it.
modules:
- module_type: langchain_parse
parse_method: pdfminerYou can also use multiple Parse modules at once. However, in this case, you'll need to return a new process for each parsed result.
You can parse your raw documents with just a few lines of code.
from autorag.parser import Parser
parser = Parser(data_path_glob="your/data/path/*")
parser.start_parsing("your/path/to/parse_config.yaml")modules:
- module_type: llama_index_chunk
chunk_method: Token
chunk_size: 1024
chunk_overlap: 24
add_file_name: enYou can also use multiple Chunk modules at once. In this case, you need to use one corpus to create QA and then map the rest of the corpus to QA Data. If the chunk method is different, the retrieval_gt will be different, so we need to remap it to the QA dataset.
You can chunk your parsed results with just a few lines of code.
from autorag.chunker import Chunker
chunker = Chunker.from_parquet(parsed_data_path="your/parsed/data/path")
chunker.start_chunking("your/path/to/chunk_config.yaml")You can create QA dataset with just a few lines of code.

This guide provides a quick overview of building and running the AutoRAG Docker container for production, with instructions on setting up the environment for evaluation using your configuration and data paths.
Tip: If you want to build an image for a gpu version, you can use autoraghq/autorag:gpu or autoraghq/autorag:gpu-parsing

First, you need to set the config YAML file for your RAG optimization.
You can get various config YAML files at here. We highly recommend using pre-made config YAML files for starter.
If you want to make your own config YAML files, check out the Config YAML file section.
Here is an example of the config YAML file to use retrieval, prompt_maker, and generator nodes.
node_lines:
- node_line_name: retrieve_node_line # Set Node Line (Arbitrary Name)
nodes:
- node_type: retrieval # Set Retrieval Node
strategy:
metrics: [retrieval_f1, retrieval_recall, retrieval_ndcg, retrieval_mrr] # Set Retrieval Metrics
top_k: 3
modules:
- module_type: vectordb
vectordb: default
- module_type: bm25
- module_type: hybrid_rrf
weight_range: (4,80)
- node_line_name: post_retrieve_node_line # Set Node Line (Arbitrary Name)
nodes:
- node_type: prompt_maker # Set Prompt Maker Node
strategy:
metrics: # Set Generation Metrics
- metric_name: meteor
- metric_name: rouge
- metric_name: sem_score
embedding_model: openai
modules:
- module_type: fstring
prompt: "Read the passages and answer the given question. \n Question: {query} \n Passage: {retrieved_contents} \n Answer : "
- node_type: generator # Set Generator Node
strategy:
metrics: # Set Generation Metrics
- metric_name: meteor
- metric_name: rouge
- metric_name: sem_score
embedding_model: openai
modules:
- module_type: openai_llm
llm: gpt-4o-mini
batch: 16You can evaluate your RAG pipeline with just a few lines of code.
from autorag.evaluator import Evaluator
evaluator = Evaluator(qa_data_path='your/path/to/qa.parquet', corpus_data_path='your/path/to/corpus.parquet')
evaluator.start_trial('your/path/to/config.yaml')or you can use the command line interface
autorag evaluate --config your/path/to/default_config.yaml --qa_data_path your/path/to/qa.parquet --corpus_data_path your/path/to/corpus.parquetOnce it is done, you can see several files and folders created in your current directory.
At the trial folder named to numbers (like 0),
you can check summary.csv file that summarizes the evaluation results and the best RAG pipeline for your data.
For more details, you can check out how the folder structure looks like at here.
You can run a dashboard to easily see the result.
autorag dashboard --trial_dir /your/path/to/trial_dir
You can use an optimal RAG pipeline right away from the trial folder. The trial folder is the directory used in the running dashboard. (like 0, 1, 2, ...)
from autorag.deploy import Runner
runner = Runner.from_trial_folder('/your/path/to/trial_dir')
runner.run('your question')You can run this pipeline as an API server.
Check out the API endpoint at here.

you can run this pipeline as a web interface.
Check out the web interface at here.
autorag run_web --trial_path your/path/to/trial_path
You can deploy the advanced web interface featured by Kotaemon to the fly.io. Go here to use it and deploy to the fly.io.
