LangChain - LLM Frameworks
1. Introduction
LangChain is an innovative framework designed to facilitate the development of applications using large language models (LLMs). It provides a structured approach to building LLM-powered applications by offering various components that can be easily integrated.
2. Key Concepts
- Chains: Sequences of calls to LLMs or other components.
- Agents: Components that can make decisions based on input and output.
- Memory: Mechanisms to store and recall information across interactions.
3. Installation
To install LangChain, run the following command:
pip install langchain
4. Basic Usage
The basic usage of LangChain involves creating a simple chain:
from langchain import LLM, Chain
llm = LLM(model="gpt-3.5-turbo")
chain = Chain(llm=llm)
response = chain.run("What is LangChain?")
print(response)
5. Advanced Features
LangChain also supports advanced features such as:
- Custom agents for dynamic decision-making.
- Memory integration for context-aware applications.
- Multiple LLM support for diverse application needs.
6. Best Practices
When using LangChain, consider the following best practices:
Tip: Always validate the output from LLMs before using it in production.
- Use chain modularity to simplify debugging.
- Implement logging to track model performance.
- Regularly update your models to harness improvements.
