Gateway Vector DB

The gateway stores the text of the content uploaded.
Assuming a five-char average per word and 500 words per page, it is estimated that 1 page of content should take 5kb.
The system stores the original text and a vector representation (chunk) of the content, approximately 2kb per page.

A total of 7kb per page, or in other words, 1M can contain around 140 pages of content.

 

According to AGAT experience, based on AGAT real document of 10K of real AGAT documents - it was 35K chunks.

So a document, on average, is between 3.5 Chunks (according to AGAT) and 10 chunks (According to ChatGPT).

According to ChatGPT the average document has 10 pages, so you would need 1M for 14 documents.

Depending on how many pages of content - you can calculate the estimated size of DB needed for the product.

Number of Documents chunks

Each Chunk is 500 tokens.

100 tokens is around 75 words.

>> Each chunk is around 375 words.

Each chunk contains 375/500= 0.75 pages.

 

If the site has 150,000 chunks - it contains 150,000*0.75= 112.500 pages, which is around 10K documents.

 

Memory usage for the Postgres DB

it is recommended to run with at least 8G for the postgress. Even when empty, it uses 4G.

For 1M chunks, it takes around 8G ram (around 350,000 documents according to AGAT)

 

Gateway SQL server BD sizing

It is recommended that the SQL Server run with at least 4GB.

Embeddings

Assuming a typical text page is 500 words, calculate the cost of embedding a typical page; let's break it down:

  1. Estimate the number of tokens per page:

    • Assume that 100 tokens are around 75 words.

    • A typical page is around 500 to 600 words, translating to approximately 700 tokens.

  2. Determine the cost per token:

    • The cost for embeddings (Text Embedding 3 small) is $0.02 for 1 million tokens.

  3. Calculate the cost for one page:

    • Since 700 tokens are on a typical page, we can calculate the cost as follows:

    Cost per page=700 tokens1,000,000 tokens×0.02 USD\text{Cost per page} = \frac{700 \text{ tokens}}{1,000,000 \text{ tokens}} \times 0.02 \text{ USD} Cost per page=1,000,000 tokens700 tokens​×0.02 USD Cost per page=0.000014 USD\text{Cost per page} = 0.000014 \text{ USD}Cost per page=0.000014 USD

So, the cost for embedding a typical page (approximately 700 tokens) would be per page.

Or in other words - $1 can produce 70K pages

Questions

The average price per question is $0.0059, meaning $1 can produce 170 questions.
