Chronos 🕰️

A retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) bot that answers questions about 20th-century history.

What It Knows

• World War I & II
• The Cold War
• Major inventions and technological breakthroughs
• Key political events and figures

How It Works

Chronos searches a curated knowledge base of historical Wikipedia articles, then uses a language model to generate answers grounded in those sources. It prefers admitting ignorance over hallucinating.

Usage

from pipeline import Chronos
bot = Chronos("path/to/model")
print(bot.ask("What caused World War I?"))

The model requires a compatible LLM and tokenizer placed in the same directory.

Built With

• FAISS for retrieval
• Sentence Transformers for embeddings
• Cross-encoder for answer re-ranking
