RAG pipelines

Build RAG pipelines that answer from your data.

Embed documents with BGE-M3 on a GPU instance, keep vectors in Qdrant, and answer with DeepSeek V3.2 or Qwen3 through the API.

What you can build

Three jobs people run here. Each on a product you can start today.

Instance

Embeddings on your own GPU

Run BGE-M3 or E5 on an L4 or L40S instance and embed your corpus in batches, at the speed the GPU allows.

Compare GPUs
Storage

A vector store that persists

Run Qdrant, Weaviate or Chroma on an instance and keep the index on a volume that outlives it.

Read how volumes work
Inference

Answers from any model

Send retrieved passages to DeepSeek V3.2, Qwen3 or Llama 4 Scout in the OpenAI format, and switch models with one field.

Examples

Ask your agent. Or read the code it writes.

Connected by the line, Claude Code or Codex calls the Runcrate tools for you: launch, copy files, run, delete.

Hand this to your agent

Add a Runcrate model to this project: run curl -fsSL"https://runcrate.ai/agents.md?intent=build"and follow it.

Your agent asks for an API key. Create a key

How it works

From first call to production. Three steps.

  1. 01

    Embed your documents

    Chunk your documents with LlamaIndex or LangChain and embed them with BGE-M3 or E5 on a GPU instance.

  2. 02

    Store and retrieve

    Index the vectors in Qdrant, Weaviate or Chroma on an instance, with the data on a volume. Query it for the closest passages.

  3. 03

    Generate the answer

    Pass the passages to DeepSeek V3.2, Qwen3 or Llama 4 Scout through the Inference API, billed per token.
