# Onnx Simple RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) Sample
|
|
|
|
This sample demonstrates how you can do RAG using Semantic Kernel with the ONNX Connector that enables running Local Models straight from files.
|
|
|
|
In this example we setup two ONNX AI Services:
|
|
- Chat Completion with [Microsoft's Phi-3-ONNX](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-onnx) model
|
|
- Text Embeddings with [Taylor's BGE Micro V2](https://huggingface.co/TaylorAI/bge-micro-v2) for embeddings to enable RAG for user queries.
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> You can modify to use any other combination of models enabled for ONNX runtime.
|
|
|
|
## Semantic Kernel used Features
|
|
|
|
- [Chat Completion Service](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/src/SemanticKernel.Abstractions/AI/ChatCompletion/IChatCompletionService.cs) - Using the Chat Completion Service from [Onnx Connector](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/src/Connectors/Connectors.Onnx/OnnxRuntimeGenAIChatCompletionService.cs) to generate responses from the Local Model.
|
|
- [Text Embeddings Generation Service]() - Using the Text Embeddings Generation Service from [Onnx Connector](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/src/Connectors/Connectors.Onnx/BertOnnxTextEmbeddingGenerationService.cs) to generate
|
|
- [Vector Store](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/src/Connectors/VectorData.Abstractions/VectorStorage/IVectorStore.cs) Using Vector Store Service with [InMemoryVectorStore](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/src/Connectors/Connectors.Memory.InMemory/InMemoryVectorStore.cs) to store and retrieve embeddings in memory for RAG.
|
|
- [Semantic Text Memory](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/src/SemanticKernel.Core/Memory/SemanticTextMemory.cs) to manage the embeddings in memory for RAG.
|
|
- [Text Memory Plugin](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/src/Plugins/Plugins.Memory/TextMemoryPlugin.cs) to enable memory retrieval functions (Recall) to be used with Prompts for RAG.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- [.NET 10](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/10.0).
|
|
|
|
## 1. Configuring the sample
|
|
|
|
### Downloading the Models
|
|
|
|
For this example we chose Hugging Face as our repository for download of the local models, go to a directory of your choice where the models should be downloaded and run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
git clone https://huggingface.co/TaylorAI/bge-micro-v2
|
|
git clone https://huggingface.co/microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-onnx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> Both `BGE-Micro-V2` and `Phi-3` models are too large to be downloaded by the `git clone` command alone if you don't have [git-lfs extension](https://git-lfs.com/) installed, for this you may need to download the models manually and overwrite the files in the cloned directories.
|
|
|
|
- Manual download [BGE-Micro-V2](https://huggingface.co/TaylorAI/bge-micro-v2/resolve/main/onnx/model.onnx?download=true) (69 MB)
|
|
- Manual download [Phi-3-Mini-4k CPU](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-onnx/resolve/main/cpu_and_mobile/cpu-int4-rtn-block-32/phi3-mini-4k-instruct-cpu-int4-rtn-block-32.onnx.data?download=true) (≈2.7 GB)
|
|
|
|
Update the `Program.cs` file lines below with the paths to the models you downloaded in the previous step.
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
// Path to the folder of your downloaded ONNX PHI-3 model
|
|
var chatModelPath = @"C:\path\to\huggingface\Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-onnx\cpu_and_mobile\cpu-int4-rtn-block-32";
|
|
|
|
// Path to the file of your downloaded ONNX BGE-MICRO-V2 model
|
|
var embeddingModelPath = @"C:\path\to\huggingface\bge-micro-v2\onnx\model.onnx";
|
|
|
|
// Path to the vocab file your ONNX BGE-MICRO-V2 model
|
|
var embeddingVocabPath = @"C:\path\to\huggingface\bge-micro-v2\vocab.txt";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Optional**: Change or add any fact text you want your AI to know about to the `facts` list in the `Program.cs` file.
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
foreach (var fact in new[] {
|
|
"My fact 1.",
|
|
"My fact 2." })
|
|
{
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuring the sample
|
|
|
|
The sample can be configured by using the command line with .NET [Secret Manager](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets) to avoid the risk of leaking secrets into the repository, branches and pull requests.
|
|
|
|
### Using .NET [Secret Manager](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets)
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
dotnet user-secrets set "Onnx:ModelId" ".. Onnx model id" (default: phi-3)
|
|
dotnet user-secrets set "Onnx:ModelPath" ".. your Onnx model folder path .."
|
|
dotnet user-secrets set "Onnx:EmbeddingModelPath" ".. your Onnx model file path .."
|
|
dotnet user-secrets set "Onnx:EmbeddingVocabPath" ".. your Onnx model vocab file path .."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 3. Running the sample
|
|
|
|
After configuring the sample, to build and run the console application just hit `F5`.
|
|
|
|
To build and run the console application from the terminal use the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
dotnet build
|
|
dotnet run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ask to the Model any question you want, the AI will try to answer based on the facts you provided.
