also, while i have your attention here, since you wrote that related post on (not) vector db's ... what would you recommend for a newbie to get started with RAG? let's say i have a large collection of text files on my computer that i want to use for RAG. the options out there seem bewildering. is there something simple akin to Ollama for RAG?



If you want to get something done quickly, try llama index.

If you want to learn/hack, pick an easy vectordb, get an OpenAI API account, and do a quick attempt

Then you can switch to a local LLM and embedder, and it helps a bit in learning what the pain points are
