Someone recently referred me to this blog post about using RAG in open-webui. I have not tested if but the author seems to reach a good setup.

Perhaps this is of use to you?
Thank you! Very useful. I am, again, surprised how a better way of asking questions affects the answers almost as much as using a better model.
Indeed, quite surprising. You got to "stroke their fur the right way" so to speak haha
Also, I'm increasingly more impressed with the rapid progress reaching open-weights models: initially I was playing with Llama3.1-8B which is already quite useful for simple querries. Then lately I've been trying out Mistral-Nemo (12B) and Mistrall-Small (22B) and they are quite much more capable. I have a 12GB GPU and so far those are the most powerful models I can run decently. I'm using them to help me in writing tasks for ansible, learning the inner workings of the Linux kernel and some bootloader stuff. I find them quite helpful!
I'm just in the beginning, but my plan is to use it to evaluate policy docs. There is so much context to keep up with, so any way to load more context into the analysis will be helpful. Learning how to add excel information in the analysis will also be a big step forward.
I will have to check out Mistral:) So far Qwen2.5 14B has been the best at providing analysis of my test scenario. But i guess an even higher parameter model will have its advantages.
