Gaia Console - Knowledge Base Snapshot Generator

A web-based platform for converting raw knowledge base files into deployable vector database snapshots for the Gaia Network. Upload your documents, get AI-powered embeddings, and deploy instantly to your Gaia Node.

Features

• Multi-Format Support: Process TXT, Markdown, PDF, and CSV files
• AI-Powered Embeddings: Uses gte-Qwen2-1.5B model with 1536-dimensional vectors
• WasmEdge Acceleration: High-performance processing when available
• Drag & Drop Interface: Intuitive web-based file upload

Usage

Basic Workflow

1. Upload Files: Drag and drop your knowledge base files (TXT, MD, PDF, CSV)
2. Process: Click "Generate Snapshot" and watch real-time progress
3. Deploy: Copy the generated Hugging Face URL and configuration commands
4. Use with Gaia Node:

   gaianet config \
     --snapshot YOUR_SNAPSHOT_URL \
     --embedding-url https://huggingface.co/gaianet/gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct-GGUF/resolve/main/gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct-f16.gguf \
     --embedding-ctx-size 8192
   
   gaianet init
   gaianet start

Supported File Formats

Format	Description	Processing Method
TXT	Plain text files	Paragraph-based chunking
MD	Markdown documents	Header-based sectioning
PDF	PDF documents	Converted to Markdown via markitdown
CSV	Tabular data	Row-based processing

File Size Limits

• Maximum file size: 10MB per file
• No limit on number of files per session
• Batch processing supported

Configuration

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Required	Default
QDRANT_URL	Qdrant instance URL	Yes	http://localhost:6333
QDRANT_API_KEY	Qdrant API key (for cloud)	No	-
HF_TOKEN	Hugging Face write token	Yes	-
HF_DATASET_NAME	Target HF dataset	Yes	-
MAX_FILE_SIZE	Max file size in bytes	No	10485760

Setting up Qdrant

Local Qdrant (Docker)

docker run -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant

Qdrant Cloud

1. Sign up at Qdrant Cloud
2. Create a cluster
3. Get your API key and URL
4. Update your .env file

Setting up Hugging Face

1. Create a Hugging Face account at huggingface.co
2. Generate an access token with write permissions
3. Create a dataset or use existing one for snapshots
4. Update your .env with token and dataset name

Optional: WasmEdge Setup

For optimal performance, install WasmEdge:

curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WasmEdge/WasmEdge/master/utils/install_v2.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc

The application will work without WasmEdge but with reduced performance.

Processing Pipeline

1. File Upload → Temporary storage with validation
2. Format Detection → Route to appropriate processor
3. Content Extraction → Text extraction and cleaning
4. Embedding Generation → AI model creates vectors
5. Vector Storage → Qdrant collection creation
6. Snapshot Creation → Database export and compression
7. Upload & Deploy → Hugging Face hosting

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Problem: "Qdrant connection failed"

# Solution: Check if Qdrant is running
docker ps | grep qdrant
# Or test connection manually
curl http://localhost:6333/collections

Problem: "WasmEdge not available" warning

# Solution: Install WasmEdge (optional but recommended)
curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WasmEdge/WasmEdge/master/utils/install_v2.sh | bash

Problem: "Hugging Face upload failed"

# Solution: Check token permissions
huggingface-cli whoami
# Ensure dataset exists and you have write access

Problem: PDF processing fails

# Solution: Install additional markitdown dependencies
pip install markitdown[all]

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging:

export PYTHONPATH=.
python -c "
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
import main
"

Performance Tips

1. Use WasmEdge for 3-5x faster embedding generation
2. Batch related files for better context understanding
3. Clean documents before upload (remove headers/footers)
4. Use local Qdrant for faster processing (if possible)
