Show HN: Biblos – Semantic Search the Church Fathers

[j-b]

I'm pleased to present an update to Biblos, a semantic search tool designed for biblical research. This release incorporates instructor-large embeddings to enhance the precision of verse retrieval. Introducing some key features including historical church writings and commentaries alongside the main biblical corpus. Available for use at https://biblos.app/

Technical Insights:

- Utilizes Chroma for vector search, now powered by instructor-large embeddings for improved semantic accuracy.

- Features Anthropic's Claude LLM model to generate summaries that provide context and clarity for search results.

- Developed with a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture, the app offers a streamlined user experience through a Streamlit Web UI, all orchestrated with Python.

Nice work. Something I'll be using and sharing with my pastor friends.
