Spice.ai OSS Cookbook

The Spice.ai OSS Cookbook is a collection of recipes for building and deploying data & AI applications using Spice.ai. Each recipe is a self-contained example that demonstrates a specific use case or feature of Spice.ai.

Recipes

Guides

• Real-time Data Access Pattern Analysis - Use AI to analyze query patterns and detect potential security risks.

Core scenarios

• Federated SQL Query - Query data from S3, PostgreSQL, and Dremio in a single query.

Sample Applications

• Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) - Sample application implementing the CQRS pattern with Spice.

Models & AI - Connect data to hosted or local AI models

• Azure OpenAI Models
• Running Llama3 Locally - Use the Llama family of models locally from HuggingFace using Spice.
• OpenAI Models - Use OpenAI LLM and embedding models.
• OpenAI SDK - Use the OpenAI SDK to connect to models hosted on Spice.
• LLM Memory - Persistent memory for language models.
• Text to SQL (Tools)
• Nvidia NIM on Kubernetes - Deploy Nvidia NIM infrastructure, on Kubernetes, with GPUs connected to Spice.
• Nvidia NIM on AWS EC2 - Deploy Nvidia NIM on AWS GPU-optimized EC2 instances connected to Spice.
• Searching GitHub Files - Search GitHub files with embeddings and vector similarity search.
• xAI Models - Use xAI models such as Grok.
• DeepSeek Model - Use DeepSeek model through Spice.
