description Machinet Overview
Machinet is an open-source extension enabling generative AI models like Llama 2 and Mistral to access and process real-time data from external sources via APIs and web searches.
help Machinet FAQ
Which AI models does Machinet support?
It's built around open-weight generative models such as Meta's Llama 2 and Mistral's models, extending them beyond their static training data. Because those models can be self-hosted, the pipeline doesn't depend on a proprietary API.
How does Machinet give an LLM access to real-time data?
It connects the model to external sources through API calls and web searches, fetching fresh content at query time and injecting it into the model's context. That's essentially a tool-calling/retrieval pattern rather than fine-tuning.
Is Machinet open source?
Yes, it's distributed as an open-source extension, so the code can be inspected and self-hosted. Check the repository's license for the exact redistribution terms before building on it.
Why use Machinet instead of wiring up retrieval pipelines myself?
The point is convenience: instead of manually building the retrieval, search and API plumbing, Machinet packages those integrations so you can attach them to a model like Mistral quickly. You trade some flexibility for a much faster setup.
