Exploring SLMs (Sequential Language Models)

Enabling Intelligent Knowledge Retrieval through Multi-Source AI Query Processing
A technology-driven organization aimed to build an intelligent AI system capable of answering natural language queries using both real-time web information and static document repositories. The objective was to create a scalable conversational platform that leverages Sequential Language Models (SLMs) and multiple external tools to provide accurate, context-aware, and up-to-date responses. The solution was designed to combine live search, document retrieval, and AI orchestration for seamless knowledge discovery across public and proprietary content sources.

The challenge

A technology-driven organization aimed to build an intelligent AI system capable of answering natural language queries using both real-time web information and static document repositories. The objective was to create a scalable conversational platform that leverages Sequential Language Models (SLMs) and multiple external tools to provide accurate, context-aware, and up-to-date responses. The solution was designed to combine live search, document retrieval, and AI orchestration for seamless knowledge discovery across public and proprietary content sources.

Key challenges

  • Managing information retrieval from multiple data sources simultaneously
  • Ensuring accurate and context-aware responses from live and static knowledge bases
  • Difficulty integrating real-time web search with document-based retrieval systems
  • Maintaining scalability and low-latency response generation
  • Handling diverse query types spanning general and proprietary information

Technology used

  • Models Used: LLaMA-7B and Gemma2-9B-it for local inference and response generation
  • Framework: LangChain for agent orchestration, document loading, and text processing
  • Search Tools: Wikimedia API and Google Search via Groq API for live information retrieval
  • Vector Database: ChromaDB for embedding storage and semantic document retrieval
  • Programming Language: Python for orchestration and deployment logic

What we built

  • Document & Tool Ingestion: Processes PDFs and external sources using LangChain document loaders
  • Text Splitting & Embedding: Converts documents into embeddings for semantic retrieval
  • Tool Orchestration: Dynamically routes queries between vector DB, Wikipedia, and Google Search
  • Hybrid Query Processing: Combines static document knowledge with real-time web information
  • Response Generation: Produces contextual responses using SLM-based reasoning and retrieval pipelines

Objectives

  • Build a multi-agent AI system leveraging multiple search and retrieval tools
  • Enable natural language querying across real-time web and static documents
  • Improve response relevance using intelligent tool orchestration
  • Support context-aware question answering across multiple domains
  • Combine document intelligence with live search capabilities
  • Deliver accurate and up-to-date responses for dynamic user queries

Outcomes

  • Hybrid retrieval combining static documents and live web search for comprehensive coverage
  • Improved response accuracy through intelligent tool selection and orchestration
  • Scalable architecture supporting high-volume query processing
  • Faster and more contextual answers across multiple knowledge domains
  • Always up-to-date responses through live Google and Wikipedia integration
  • Flexible system architecture for adding new APIs, documents, and retrieval sources
