Practical overview

When it fits

Use the collection when you want a chapter-organized notebook example for a specific LLM or RAG topic, or are choosing practical material for instruction.

Who it is for

  • Learners exploring LLM and RAG concepts through notebook examples.
  • Educators selecting hands-on material for an LLM application course.

Documented uses

  • Study transformer architectures and prompt engineering.
  • Explore example application patterns using LangChain or LlamaIndex.
  • Find notebook examples on RAG evaluation, agents, knowledge graphs and fine-tuning.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public, and the README links selected notebooks to Google Colab.

  • The README names notebooks by chapter and topic, making it possible to identify examples relevant to a particular lesson.
  • Some listed notebooks have Google Colab links.
  • The README does not specify execution requirements for each notebook, so check the individual notebook before planning a hands-on session.

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

Choose and open a RAG book notebook

Use the repository index to select a notebook by chapter and open its linked Colab notebook.

Before you start

  • Access to the public GitHub repository README.
  • A notebook topic from the listed chapters, such as transformer architectures, prompt engineering, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or advanced RAG.

Steps

  1. Open the repository README.

  2. Find the chapter and notebook topic you want to study.

  3. Select that notebook's Google Colab link in the README.

Expected outcome

The selected notebook is opened through its linked Google Colab page.

Guide limitations

  • The README lists notebooks but does not document runtime setup, required credentials, execution steps, or notebook results.
