• Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of open-source large language models (LLMs) and their application in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) tasks, specific for enterprise-specific data sets scraped from their websites. With the increasing reliance on LLMs in natural language processing, it is crucial to evaluate their performance, accessibility, and integration within specific organizational contexts. This study examines various open-source LLMs, explores their integration into RAG frameworks using enterprise-specific data, and assesses the performance of different open-source embeddings in enhancing the retrieval and generation process. Our findings indicate that open-source LLMs, combined with effective embedding techniques, can significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of RAG systems, offering a viable alternative to proprietary solutions for enterprises.

  Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capacities on various tasks, and integrating the capacities of LLMs into the Internet of Things (IoT) applications has drawn much research attention recently. Due to security concerns, many institutions avoid accessing state-of-the-art commercial LLM services, requiring the deployment and utilization of open-source LLMs in a local network setting. We propose a LLM-based Generative IoT (GIoT) system deployed in the local network setting in this study.
