What it does
SpiceAI accelerates data queries, search, and large language model inference for data-grounded AI applications and agents, allowing founders to build faster and more efficient data-driven apps
Install / run
git clone https://github.com/spiceai/spiceai.git && cd spiceai
When to use it
•When building data-intensive AI applications that require fast query performance
•When integrating large language models into your application and need efficient inference
•When developing data-grounded AI agents that require accelerated search and query capabilities
Quick start
1Run the SpiceAI example with the command `cargo run --example simple_query` to test the query engine
2Modify the `spiceai.yaml` configuration file to define your data sources and query parameters
3Use the `spiceai-cli` tool to execute queries and search operations, such as `spiceai-cli query 'SELECT * FROM my_table'`
4Integrate SpiceAI into your Rust application using the `spiceai` crate and importing it with `use spiceai::prelude::*;`
5Test the large language model inference capabilities with the example command `cargo run --example llama_inference`
Ready-to-paste prompt
cargo run --example simple_query -- 'SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE column = "value"' to execute a query on a sample dataset
Heads up: SpiceAI requires Rust 1.64 or later to be installed and configured on your system, as it is built using the Rust programming language
