Practical overview

When it fits

Use Easyrag when you want a code-based starting point for network-operations question answering and can provide the documented Python, GPU and GLM-key prerequisites.

Who it is for

  • Developers building RAG systems for network-operations knowledge.
  • Technical teams adapting document retrieval and answer-generation workflows for operational troubleshooting.

Documented uses

  • Process operational documents into searchable chunks and metadata.
  • Retrieve and combine candidate material using sparse or dense search.
  • Rerank retrieved content and generate answers grounded in the selected material.
  • Expose the documented workflow through an API and a Streamlit WebUI.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The public GitHub repository identifies the project as MIT-licensed.

  • The documented runtime requires Python 3.10.14 and at least one GPU with 16 GB of memory.
  • The README requires GLM keys in src/easyrag.yaml.
  • The described pipeline uses BM25 retrieval and BGE reranking alongside dense retrieval and fusion options.
  • The documented setup includes model downloads and a ZEDX-specific data-processing script.
  • The project documents API and WebUI startup, but does not detail API requests or WebUI tasks in the README.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Prepare Easyrag and launch its documented API

Install the documented dependencies, prepare models and ZEDX data, then start the API service.

Before you start

  • Python 3.10.14
  • At least one GPU with 16 GB of memory
  • GLM keys configured in src/easyrag.yaml
  • A clone of the Easyrag repository

Steps

  1. Install the Python dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt.

  2. Initialize Git LFS, download models with bash scripts/download.sh, and process ZEDX data with bash scripts/process.sh.

  3. From the src directory, start the API with uvicorn api:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --workers 1.

Expected outcome

The documented preparation stages are complete and the API process is started.

Guide limitations

  • The README does not provide a request example or document API endpoints.
  • The documented data-processing command is specific to ZEDX data.
