Context: 1. Initialize a LangChain object for chatting with OpenAI’s `gpt-4o-mini` LLM. OpenAI is a paid service, so running the remainder of this tutorial may incur some small cost.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI  
from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain  
from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain  
from langchain import hub

2. Define a few questions about the WonderVector5000\. These questions require specific, private knowledge of the product, which the LLM does not have by default.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
query1 = "What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?"  
query2 = "The Neural Fandango Synchronizer is giving me a headache. What do I do?"  
```
3. Send `query1` to the LLM _without_ relevant context from Pinecone:  
Python  
Copy  
```  
answer1_without_knowledge = llm.invoke(query1)  
print("Query 1:", query1)  
print("\nAnswer without knowledge:\n\n", answer1_without_knowledge.content)

3. Send `query1` to the LLM _without_ relevant context from Pinecone:  
Python  
Copy  
```  
answer1_without_knowledge = llm.invoke(query1)  
print("Query 1:", query1)  
print("\nAnswer without knowledge:\n\n", answer1_without_knowledge.content)  
print("\n")  
time.sleep(2)  
```  
Notice that this first response sounds convincing but is entirely fabricated. This is an hallucination.  
Response  
Copy

Query 1: What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?  
Answer without knowledge:  
To get started with the WonderVector5000, follow these initial steps:

# Build a RAG chatbot

This tutorial shows you how to build a simple RAG chatbot in Python using Pinecone for the vector database and embedding model, [OpenAI](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/openai) for the LLM, and [LangChain](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/langchain) for the RAG workflow.

To run through this tutorial in your browser, use [this colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/docs/rag-getting-started.ipynb). For a more complex, multitenant RAG sample app and tutorial, see [Namespace Notes](/examples/sample-apps/namespace-notes).

How it works

GenAI chatbots built on Large Language Models (LLMs) can answer many questions. However, when the questions concern private data that the LLMs have not been trained on, you can get answers that sound convincing but are factually wrong. This behavior is referred to as “hallucination”.

Why Pinecone?

Large language models alone have a hallucination problem. Several decades of machine learning research have optimized models, including modern LLMs, for generalization, while actively penalizing memorization. However, many of today’s applications require factual, grounded answers. LLMs are also expensive to train, and provided by third party APIs. This means the knowledge of an LLM is fixed. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a way to reliably ensure models are grounded, with Pinecone as the curated source of real world information, long term memory, application domain knowledge, or whitelisted data.

In the RAG paradigm, rather than just passing a user question directly to a language model, the system retrieves any documents that could be relevant in answering the question from the knowledge base, and then passes those documents (along with the original question) to the language model to generate the final response. The most popular method for RAG involves chaining together LLMs with vector databases, such as the widely used Pinecone vector DB.

In this process, a numerical vector (an embedding) is calculated for all documents, and those vectors are then stored in a database optimized for storing and querying vectors. Incoming queries are vectorized as well, typically using an encoder LLM to convert the query into an embedding. The query embedding is then matched via embedding similarity against the document embeddings in the vector database to retrieve the documents that are relevant to the query.

Pinecone makes it easy to build high-performance vector search applications, including retrieval-augmented question answering. Pinecone can easily handle very large scales of hundreds of millions and even billions of vector embeddings. Pinecone’s large scale allows it to handle long term memory or a large corpus of rich external and domain-appropriate data so that the LLM component of RAG application can focus on tasks like summarization, inference and planning. This setup is optimal for developing a non-hallucinatory application.  
In addition, Pinecone is fully managed, so it is easy to change configurations and components. Combined with the tracking and evaluation with TruLens, this is a powerful combination that enables fast iteration of your application.

This setup is optimal for developing a non-hallucinatory application.  
In addition, Pinecone is fully managed, so it is easy to change configurations and components. Combined with the tracking and evaluation with TruLens, this is a powerful combination that enables fast iteration of your application.

Why Pinecone?

Large language models alone have a hallucination problem. Several decades of machine learning research have optimized models, including modern LLMs, for generalization, while actively penalizing memorization. However, many of today’s applications require factual, grounded answers. LLMs are also expensive to train, and provided by third party APIs. This means the knowledge of an LLM is fixed. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a way to reliably ensure models are grounded, with Pinecone as the curated source of real world information, long term memory, application domain knowledge, or whitelisted data.

In the RAG paradigm, rather than just passing a user question directly to a language model, the system retrieves any documents that could be relevant in answering the question from the knowledge base, and then passes those documents (along with the original question) to the language model to generate the final response. The most popular method for RAG involves chaining together LLMs with vector databases, such as the widely used Pinecone vector DB.

In this process, a numerical vector (an embedding) is calculated for all documents, and those vectors are then stored in a database optimized for storing and querying vectors. Incoming queries are vectorized as well, typically using an encoder LLM to convert the query into an embedding. The query embedding is then matched via embedding similarity against the document embeddings in the vector database to retrieve the documents that are relevant to the query.

Pinecone makes it easy to build high-performance vector search applications, including retrieval-augmented question answering. Pinecone can easily handle very large scales of hundreds of millions and even billions of vector embeddings. Pinecone’s large scale allows it to handle long term memory or a large corpus of rich external and domain-appropriate data so that the LLM component of RAG application can focus on tasks like summarization, inference and planning.

Context: OpenAI’s large language models (LLMs) enhance semantic search or “long-term memory” for LLMs. This combo utilizes LLMs’ embedding and completion (or generation) endpoints alongside Pinecone’s vector search capabilities for nuanced information retrieval.

By integrating OpenAI’s LLMs with Pinecone, you can combine deep learning capabilities for embedding generation with efficient vector storage and retrieval. This approach surpasses traditional keyword-based search, offering contextually-aware, precise results.

This guide covers the integration of OpenAI’s Large Language Models (LLMs) with Pinecone (referred to as the **OP stack**), enhancing semantic search or ‘long-term memory’ for LLMs. This combo utilizes LLMs’ embedding and completion (or generation) endpoints alongside Pinecone’s vector search capabilities for nuanced information retrieval.

LLMs like OpenAI’s `text-embedding-ada-002` generate vector embeddings, i.e., numerical representations of text semantics. These embeddings facilitate semantic-based rather than literal textual matches. Additionally, LLMs like `gpt-4` or `gpt-3.5-turbo` can predict text completions based on information provided from these contexts.

Pinecone is a vector database designed for storing and querying high-dimensional vectors. It provides fast, efficient semantic search over these vector embeddings.

By integrating OpenAI’s LLMs with Pinecone, we combine deep learning capabilities for embedding generation with efficient vector storage and retrieval. This approach surpasses traditional keyword-based search, offering contextually-aware, precise results.

There are many ways of integrating these two tools and we have several guides focusing on specific use-cases. If you already know what you’d like to do you can jump to these specific materials:

# Understanding Pinecone Assistant

[Pinecone Assistant](/guides/assistant/understanding-assistant) is a service that allows you to upload documents, ask questions, and receive responses that reference your documents. This is known as [retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)](https://www.pinecone.io/learn/retrieval-augmented-generation/). You can access assistant using the Pinecone console, a Python plugin, or the [Assistant API](/reference/api/assistant/list%5Fassistants). The JavaScript and Java SDKs do not support Pinecone Assistant.

This feature is in [public preview](/release-notes/feature-availability).

## 

[​](#how-it-works)

How it works

When you upload a document, your assistant processes the contents by chunking and embedding the text. Then, the assistant stores the embeddings in a vector database. When you chat with your assistant, it queries a large language model (LLM) with your prompt and any relevant information from your data sources. With this context, the LLM can provide responses grounded in your documents.

# Understanding Pinecone Assistant

[Pinecone Assistant](/guides/assistant/understanding-assistant) is a service that allows you to upload documents, ask questions, and receive responses that reference your documents. This is known as [retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)](https://www.pinecone.io/learn/retrieval-augmented-generation/). You can access assistant using the Pinecone console, a Python plugin, or the [Assistant API](/reference/api/assistant/list%5Fassistants). The JavaScript and Java SDKs do not support Pinecone Assistant.

This feature is in [public preview](/release-notes/feature-availability).

## 

[​](#how-it-works)

How it works

When you upload a document, your assistant processes the contents by chunking and embedding the text. Then, the assistant stores the embeddings in a vector database. When you chat with your assistant, it queries a large language model (LLM) with your prompt and any relevant information from your data sources. With this context, the LLM can provide responses grounded in your documents.

Summary

In conclusion, we note that exploring the downstream impact of some Pinecone configuration choices on response quality, cost and latency is an important part of the LLM app development process, ensuring that we make the choices that lead to the app performing the best. Overall, TruLens and Pinecone are the perfect combination for building reliable RAG-style applications. Pinecone provides a way to efficiently store and retrieve context used by LLM apps, and TruLens provides a way to track and evaluate each iteration of your application.

Summary

In conclusion, we note that exploring the downstream impact of some Pinecone configuration choices on response quality, cost and latency is an important part of the LLM app development process, ensuring that we make the choices that lead to the app performing the best. Overall, TruLens and Pinecone are the perfect combination for building reliable RAG-style applications. Pinecone provides a way to efficiently store and retrieve context used by LLM apps, and TruLens provides a way to track and evaluate each iteration of your application.
