- To build your own Pinecone index, create or use your existing Pinecone account and apply the provided Pinecone credits to save costs (see Pinecone instructions)
2.2 Accessing DataMorgana and Falcon3-10B-Instruct via AI71-Platform
- Login to your AI71-Platform account after you followed the onboarding instructions
- Access the DataMorgana Sandbox and try it to generate your first Q&A
- Create your AI71-Platform API key
3.1 Use your AI71-Platform key for programatic access to DataMorgana bulk requests generation via its API
3.2 Use your AI71-Platform key for programatic access to Falcon3-10B-Instruct (see AI71 documentation)
Remark: Accessing Falcon via the AI71-Platform API is optional and recommended for a quick start. However, for a robust solution, suitable for the live event, it is recommended to set up your own Falcon3-10B-Instruct instance on your AWS Team account
2.3 Building, training, and evaluating your RAG system
- Build your RAG system in your AWS Team account leveraging your FineWeb indices - make sure to use Falcon3-10B-Instruct to generate answers
