Welcome to your modern programming adventure where voice recognition meets artificial intelligence! In this article, we will guide you through the steps of deploying a voice-based chatbot using BentoChain, LangChain, and BentoML. Buckle up as we set out on this journey!
What is BentoChain?
BentoChain is an example project that showcases how you can deploy LangChain applications using the BentoML framework. This innovative approach combines the power of the OpenAI API, Transformers speech models, Gradio, and BentoML to create a responsive voice chatbot. Imagine a diligent secretary, ready to take voice notes, assist you in real-time, and serve you information just when you need it—that’s your chatbot! But instead of a secretary, we have AI in the backend handling all the operations.
Why Deploy LangChain Applications with BentoML?
- Containerizes LangChain applications as standard OCI images.
- Generates OpenAPI and gRPC endpoints automatically.
- Deploys models as microservices that run on optimal hardware and can scale independently.
Installation and Setup
To get started, follow these simple steps:
1. Install Python Dependencies
sh
poetry install
poetry shell
2. Download Speech Recognition and Text-to-Speech Models
sh
python train.py
3. Start the Application Locally
sh
bentoml serve
After starting the application, you can visit http://0.0.0.0:3000 for an OpenAPI Swagger page and http://0.0.0.0:3000/chatbot for the Gradio UI for the chatbot. Do keep in mind that microphone input functionality might not work on some browsers like Google Chrome due to HTTPS endpoint restrictions. However, this will resolve once you deploy it to BentoCloud.
Building the Application
To create a distributable Bento artifact, execute the following command:
sh
bentoml build
During this process, various models will be packed, such as:
- speech_t5_tts_processor
- whisper_processor
- speech_t5_tts_model
Production Deployment
For a seamless production setup of your text embedding service, BentoML simplifies deployment options via BentoCloud, which is a serverless cloud platform curated for BentoML! Here are the next steps:
Next Steps:
- Sign up for a BentoCloud account here.
- Obtain an API Token. Instructions can be found here.
- Push your Bento to BentoCloud:
sh bentoml push voicegpt:vmjw2vucbodwkcvj. - Deploy via the Web UI; see more about Deploying on BentoCloud.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during the installation or deployment process, consider the following troubleshooting tips:
- Ensure that all Python dependencies were correctly installed in the virtual environment.
- Double-check that you have the correct API keys and network access for microphone functionality.
- Inspect the application logs to identify any errors or exceptions that might arise during execution.
