博客创作文档研究助手¶
使用 Launchables 进行部署。Launchables 是预配置的、完全优化的环境，用户可以一键部署。
在本 Notebook 中，您将使用 NVIDIA LLM NIM 微服务 (llama-3.3-70b) 为给定主题生成报告，并使用 NVIDIA NeMo Retriever 嵌入 NIM (llama-3.2-nv-embedqa-1b-v2) 进行优化的文本问答检索。给定一组文档后，LlamaIndex 将创建一个 Index，您可以对其运行查询。
您可以从 NVIDIA API 目录调用托管模型的 NIM API 端点来开始。熟悉此蓝图后，您可能希望使用 NVIDIA NIM 自托管模型。
该蓝图提供了一个工作流架构，用于自动化和编排研究充分、高质量内容的创建过程。
用户提供一组工具（例如，一个包含旧金山预算数据的查询引擎）和一个内容请求（例如，一个用于博客文章的问题）。然后智能体执行以下步骤：
- 生成大纲：部署一个智能体将博客文章构建成一个可操作的大纲。
- 规划研究问题：另一个智能体生成一组必要的问题，以有效解决大纲中的内容。
- 并行研究：将问题分解为离散单元，可以使用现有工具并行回答这些问题以收集数据。
- 起草内容：一个写作智能体将收集到的答案合成为一篇连贯的博客文章。
- 执行质量保证：一个评论智能体审查内容的准确性、连贯性和完整性，确定是否需要修改。
- 迭代优化：如果需要改进，工作流会重复生成额外问题并收集更多信息，直到达到所需的质量。
此工作流结合了模块化、自动化和迭代优化，以确保输出达到最高的质量标准。

API 密钥¶
在开始之前，如果您不自行托管模型，则需要为 NVIDIA API 目录创建 API 密钥；如果您使用 LlamaCloud，则需要为 LlamaIndex 创建 API 密钥。
- NVIDIA API 目录
- 导航到 NVIDIA API 目录。
- 选择任意模型，例如 llama-3.3-70b-instruct。
- 在示例代码片段上方的右侧面板中，单击“获取 API 密钥”。如果您尚未登录，系统会提示您登录。
- LlamaIndex
- 转到 LlamaIndex 登录页面。如果您尚未创建帐户，则需要创建一个。
- 在左侧面板中，导航到“API 密钥”。
- 单击页面顶部的“生成新密钥”。
导出 API 密钥¶
将这些 API 密钥保存为环境变量。
首先，将 NVIDIA API 密钥设置为环境变量。
In [ ]
Copied!
import getpass
import os
if not os.environ.get("NVIDIA_API_KEY", "").startswith("nvapi-"):
nvapi_key = getpass.getpass("Enter your NVIDIA API key: ")
assert nvapi_key.startswith(
"nvapi-"
), f"{nvapi_key[:5]}... is not a valid key"
os.environ["NVIDIA_API_KEY"] = nvapi_key
import getpass import os if not os.environ.get("NVIDIA_API_KEY", "").startswith("nvapi-"): nvapi_key = getpass.getpass("Enter your NVIDIA API key: ") assert nvapi_key.startswith( "nvapi-" ), f"{nvapi_key[:5]}... is not a valid key" os.environ["NVIDIA_API_KEY"] = nvapi_key
接下来，为 LlamaCloud 设置 LlamaIndex API 密钥。
In [ ]

def _set_env(var: str):
if not os.environ.get(var):
os.environ[var] = getpass.getpass(f"{var}: ")

assistant: The most popular house pets in North America are dogs, cats, fish, birds, and small mammals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits, with dogs and cats being the clear favorites among pet owners.
可选：本地运行 NVIDIA NIM 微服务¶
熟悉此蓝图后，您可能希望使用 NVIDIA AI Enterprise 软件许可证自托管 NVIDIA NIM 微服务模型。这使您能够在任何地方运行模型，让您拥有自定义的所有权，并完全控制您的知识产权 (IP) 和 AI 应用程序。
注意：仅当您使用本地 NIM 微服务而不是 API 目录端点时，才运行以下单元格。

对 Index 运行查询¶
从 Index 创建一个查询引擎。查询引擎是一个通用接口，允许您对数据提问。此处，参数 similarity_top_k 设置为 10。如果您使用自己的文档，可以尝试调整此参数。
In [ ]
Copied!
query_engine = index.as_query_engine(similarity_top_k=10)
response = query_engine.query(
"What was San Francisco's budget for Police in 2023?"
)
print(response)
query_engine = index.as_query_engine(similarity_top_k=10) response = query_engine.query( "What was San Francisco's budget for Police in 2023?" ) print(response)
The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget for the Police Department is $776.8 million.
创建 Engine 查询工具¶
接下来，创建一个查询引擎工具。这会把之前定义的查询引擎封装成智能体可以使用的工具。
In [ ]
Copied!
from llama_index.core.tools import QueryEngineTool
budget_tool = QueryEngineTool.from_defaults(
query_engine,

from llama_index.core.tools import QueryEngineTool budget_tool = QueryEngineTool.from_defaults( query_engine, name="san_francisco_budget_2023", description="一个包含旧金山 2023 年预算极详细信息的 RAG 引擎。", )
构建智能体¶
工作流是
- 您提供一组工具（在本例中，是包含旧金山预算数据的查询引擎）
- 您提供一个要撰写博客文章的问题
- 一个智能体生成博客文章的大纲
- 下一个智能体生成一组必要的问题，以便收集数据来填充该大纲
- 问题被分解并同时回答
- 一个写作者收集问题和答案并撰写博客文章
- 一个评论者审阅博客文章，并确定是否需要进一步修改
- 如果没问题，工作流停止
- 如果需要更多修改，它会生成额外的问题
- 这些问题被回答，然后过程重复

The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) faces significant budget challenges, including recruitment and retention issues, with staffing levels continuing to fall behind recommended levels as separations have outpaced recruiting. The Department is also dealing with chronic understaffing, which requires overtime funding support to ensure necessary deployment levels. Furthermore, the SFPD is working to implement reforms and achieve substantial compliance with state laws, including SB 1421, SB 16, and SB 2, which requires investments in information technology, training, and other resources.
In the context of project spending, the SFPD's budget challenges are exacerbated by the need to allocate resources for various projects, such as technology upgrades, training programs, and community initiatives. The Department must balance these competing demands and priorities to ensure effective and responsible use of its budget. Controversies surrounding the SFPD budget may include the use of overtime funding, the implementation of new technologies and systems, and the allocation of resources for community programs and initiatives. The Department's efforts to address issues of trust and accountability within the community, particularly in light of the need for periodic biased policing audits, may also be a subject of controversy and debate. Additionally, the budget's focus on increasing salaries and benefits for sworn staff, as well as the expansion of programs aimed at improving community relations, may be seen as contentious by some stakeholders.
Given the projected deficit, the Mayor's requirement for departments to propose budget reductions may impact the SFPD's ability to allocate resources for these projects, potentially affecting the Department's ability to implement reforms and achieve its goals. The SFPD must navigate these challenges and controversies to ensure effective and responsible use of its budget, while also addressing the needs and concerns of the community.

The Sheriff's Office budget for FY 2023-24 is $291.7 million, which is 2.5 percent lower than the FY 2022-23 budget. This decrease is primarily due to salary reductions from position vacancies and a decrease in overtime. The proposed budget for FY 2024-25 is $293.7 million, which is 0.7 percent higher than the FY 2023-24 proposed budget, mainly due to increases in interdepartmental services and salaries and benefits.
In terms of personnel costs, the Sheriff's Office is facing ongoing staffing challenges, resulting in a demand for overtime to meet mandated minimum staffing requirements. The proposed budget includes funding to meet the overtime needs of the Sheriff's Office in FY 2023-24. As the Office improves its regular staffing levels, the need for overtime spending will decrease.
The Sheriff's Office is aggressively recruiting to fill numerous vacancies in its deputy sheriff positions and professional staff. The Office is also increasing its law enforcement presence in the community, expanding the field officer training program, and increasing staff in the warrant services unit.
Regarding labor negotiations, the Employee Relations Division is responsible for negotiating all non-Municipal Transportation Agency labor contracts for City employees. In FY 2023-24, the Division will be negotiating collective bargaining agreements on behalf of 88 percent of the City's workforce covered by 34 union contracts.
The City is also self-insuring for workers' compensation and is financially responsible for all workers' compensation liabilities. The Workers' Compensation Division will continue to advance its safety and health initiatives and partner with departments to implement the Temporary Transitional Work Assignment policy to improve Return to Work outcomes.
The Mayor's proposed budget includes funding for the new Career Center at City Hall, which will help City employees access existing programs and resources that support their career goals. The Department will also launch and promote new career pathway programs, including a public safety pathway program and a health worker pathway program.
The San Francisco Health Service System (SFHSS) is dedicated to preserving and improving sustainable, quality health benefits and enhancing the well-being of employees, retirees, and their families. The proposed FY 2023-24 budget for SFHSS is $13.9 million, which is 2.3 percent higher than the FY 2022-23 budget, due to enhanced Employee Assistance services and an increase in a work order with the Human Resources Department.
SFHSS has completed its 2023-25 strategic plan, which includes strategic goals to foster equity, advance primary care practice, provide affordable and sustainable healthcare, and support the mental health and well-being of its membership. The SFHSS medical rates trend vs benchmarks shows that the rising cost of healthcare has outpaced inflation in most years, but SFHSS oversight has resulted in lower increases than the national average and inflation for four of the last five years.
