pixegami

YouTube creator focused on practical Python tutorials for LLM apps — RAG over PDFs, LangChain, ChromaDB, local model integration, pytest-based AI app testing. Style is implementation-first with full GitHub repos and minimal hype.

Content in This Wiki

  • Python RAG Tutorial (with Local LLMs) — Building a RAG app over PDFs using LangChain + ChromaDB + AWS Bedrock embeddings + Ollama-served Mistral. Includes deterministic chunk IDs for incremental updates and an LLM-as-judge unit testing pattern.

Key Ideas

  • Hybrid is fine: cloud embeddings (better quality) + local LLM (cheap inference) is a defensible split for personal RAG apps when local embeddings underperform
  • Deterministic chunk IDs (source:page:chunk_index) let you incrementally add documents to a vector DB without rebuilding from scratch
  • LLM-as-judge unit tests — pytest cases that ask a separate LLM call whether the actual answer matches the expected answer; include negative cases (with inverted assertions) so you catch over-generous evaluators
  • For RAG quality, embedding quality matters more than LLM quality — get embeddings right first
