A Memory-Informed Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system leveraging MongoDB Atlas Vector Search and VoyageAI for extreme context length evaluation.
This project evaluates Large Language Models' (LLMs) ability to process extremely long context windows (128k to 2M tokens) and demonstrates how intelligent semantic retrieval can improve inference accuracy while reducing costs.
Key Goals:
- Benchmark LLMs using the BABILong "needle-in-haystack" evaluation framework
- Implement semantic retrieval with VoyageAI embeddings and MongoDB Atlas Vector Search
- Compare model performance across context lengths (0k-128k tokens)
- Demonstrate cost-effective RAG strategies for production use
- Two-Stage Semantic Retrieval: VoyageAI embeddings (voyage-3.5) + reranking (rerank-2.5)
- Dual-Model Benchmarking: Side-by-side comparison of OpenAI models
- Flexible Context Lengths: Support for 0k to 128k token contexts
- Cost Analytics: Per-model cost tracking and optimization recommendations
- Visualization: Heatmaps and JSON exports for analysis

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Zoetron-art/MongoDB-Agentic-context-window.git
cd MongoDB-Agentic-context-window
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txtCreate a .env file in the project root:
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-key-here
VOYAGE_API_KEY=your-voyage-api-key-here# Run the main RAG pipeline
python hackathon_rag_mongodb.py# Navigate to notebooks directory
cd resources/notebooks
# Run the benchmarking script
python test.py
# Follow prompts to select:
# - Model 1 (e.g., gpt-4.1)
# - Model 2 (e.g., gpt-4o-mini)
# - Task (e.g., qa1)
# - Context lengths (e.g., 0-5 for 0k-16k)| Model | 0k | 64k | 128k |
|---|---|---|---|
| gpt-4.1 | 100% | 91% | 87% |
| gpt-4o-mini | 100% | 87.5% | - |
- Perfect baseline: Both models achieve 100% accuracy at 0k (minimal context)
- Performance degradation: Accuracy decreases as context length increases
- gpt-4.1 advantage: Better long-context handling at 64k (91% vs 87.5%)
- Cost trade-off: gpt-4.1 is 40x more expensive than gpt-4o-mini
- Use gpt-4o-mini for 0k-16k testing (~$2-5 per full run)
- Reserve gpt-4.1 for production/critical 64k+ scenarios
