# VRIN Hybrid RAG SDK v0.7.0

Enterprise-grade Hybrid RAG system with **hybrid cloud architecture**, **multi-hop constraint solver**, **temporal fact consistency**, **conversation state**, user-defined AI specialization, and blazing-fast performance.

## 🏗️ Hybrid Cloud Architecture

**VRIN supports two deployment models:**
- **General Users** (`vrin_` API keys): Cost-effective shared infrastructure
- **Enterprise Users** (`vrin_ent_` API keys): **100% private infrastructure with data sovereignty**

🛡️ **Data Sovereignty Guarantee**: Enterprise customer data NEVER leaves their cloud account

## 🚀 New in v0.7.0 - Multi-Hop Constraint Solver with Temporal Fact Consistency

- 🧩 **LLM-BASED CONSTRAINT EXTRACTION** - Intelligent identification of temporal, numerical, entity, comparison, and aggregation constraints
- ⏰ **TEMPORAL FACT VALIDITY** - Facts with temporal metadata (valid_from, valid_to, status, version)

```

## 🔧 Quick Start

```python

# For general users (shared infrastructure)
client = VRINClient(api_key="vrin_your_api_key")

# For enterprise users (private infrastructure with data sovereignty)
from vrin import VRINEnterpriseClient
enterprise_client = VRINEnterpriseClient(api_key="vrin_ent_your_enterprise_key")

# STEP 1: Define your custom AI expert
result = client.specialize(
    custom_prompt="You are a senior M&A legal partner with 25+ years experience...",

    analysis_depth="expert"
)

# STEP 2: Insert knowledge with automatic fact extraction (NEW v0.7.0: temporal metadata)
result = client.insert(
    content="In 2010, Cadence stock was $100. In 2011, it increased to $150.",
    title="Financial Data with Temporal Facts"
)
print(f"✅ Extracted {result['facts_count']} facts with temporal metadata")
print(f"💾 Storage: {result['storage_details']}")
print(f"🔄 Conflicts handled: {result.get('storage_result', {}).get('updated_facts', 0)} superseded")

# STEP 3A: Fast fact retrieval for website display (v0.4.0)
raw_response = client.get_raw_facts_only("What are strategic insights?")
print(f"⚡ Lightning-fast retrieval: {raw_response['search_time']}")  # ~0.7-2s
print(f"📊 Facts found: {raw_response['total_facts']}")

# STEP 3B: Complete expert analysis for comprehensive reports
response = client.query("What are the strategic litigation opportunities?")
print(f"📝 Expert Analysis: {response['summary']}")
print(f"🔗 Multi-hop Chains: {response['multi_hop_chains']}")
print(f"📊 Cross-doc Patterns: {response['cross_document_patterns']}")
print(f"⚡ Full Analysis: {response['search_time']}")  # ~15-20s

# NEW v0.7.0: Temporal and constraint-based queries
temporal_response = client.query("What was Cadence stock value in 2010 and 2011?")
print(f"📅 Temporal Query Results:")
print(f"  Constraints identified: {temporal_response['constraints_applied']}")
print(f"  Temporal filtering applied: {temporal_response['temporal_filtering_applied']}")
print(f"  Facts before filtering: {temporal_response['facts_before_filtering']}")
print(f"  Facts after filtering: {temporal_response['facts_after_filtering']}")
print(f"  Summary: {temporal_response['summary'][:100]}...")

# Multi-constraint query example
complex_response = client.query("Calculate revenue percentage increase from Q2 2010 to Q4 2015")
print(f"🧩 Multi-Constraint Query:")
print(f"  Constraint types: {list(complex_response['constraints'].keys())}")
print(f"  Temporal range: {complex_response['constraints'].get('temporal', [])}")
