Large Language Models (LLMs)

The LLM is responsible for reading text and generating natural language responses to queries. By default, LlamaIndex.TS uses gpt-4o.

The LLM can be explicitly updated through Settings.

npm i llamaindex @llamaindex/openai
import { OpenAI } from "@llamaindex/openai";
import { Settings } from "llamaindex";
Settings.llm = new OpenAI({ model: "gpt-3.5-turbo", temperature: 0 });

To use Azure OpenAI, you only need to set a few environment variables.

For example:

export AZURE_OPENAI_KEY="<YOUR KEY HERE>"
export AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="<YOUR ENDPOINT, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/quickstart?tabs=command-line%2Cpython&pivots=rest-api>"
export AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT="gpt-4" # or some other deployment name

For local LLMs, currently we recommend the use of Ollama LLM.

Most available LLMs are listed in the sidebar on the left. Additionally the following integrations exist without separate documentation:

Check the LlamaIndexTS Github for the most up to date overview of integrations.
