Installation Instructions

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/M3RG-IITD/AILA.git
cd AILA

Install Required Packages

Run the following command to install all necessary dependencies:

pip install streamlit matplotlib langchain_chroma langchain NSFopen scikit-image pymoo langchain_openai langgraph

Display AFM Bench Tasks

1. Navigate to the Data folder:

   cd Data

2. Run the AFM Bench Tasks using Streamlit:

   streamlit run task.py

   Wait a few minutes as it will take some time to load all the files.

Run AILA

1. Navigate back to the AILA main directory:

   cd ..

2. Enter the "app" folder:

   cd app

3. Run the AILA application:

   streamlit run app.py

4. LLM Model Setup:
   • Open the corresponding script in the "app" folder for the desired LLM model:
     • "AILA_claude-3-son.py" for Claude
     • "AILA_3.5.py" for GPT-3.5
     • "AILA_4.0.py" for GPT-4.0
     • "AILA_llama_3.3.py" for Llama
   • Search for YOUR_API_KEY in the script and paste your OpenAI API key into the embedding model and corresponding LLM model sections.
