LangChain is a powerful framework that simplifies building applications powered by language models. One of its standout features is the Chain functionality, which allows you to easily sequence multiple operations. This is particularly useful when you need to process data through several stages or combine different capabilities.
A chain in LangChain can be composed of various components, such as LLMs (Large Language Models), prompts, and other processing steps. This modular approach helps build complex workflows while keeping the code clean and maintainable.
Here's a quick example of how to create a simple chain that uses an LLM to generate a text completion based on an input prompt:
from langchain import LLMChain
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
# Initialize the LLM
llm = OpenAI(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
# Create a simple LLM chain with a prompt
chain = LLMChain(
llm=llm,
prompt="Once upon a time in a land far away, there lived a"
)
# Run the chain
result = chain.run()
print(result)
In this example, we define a basic language generation task: generating a story that starts with "Once upon a time in a land far away, there lived a". By utilizing the LLMChain, you can streamline your text generation tasks while taking advantage of LangChain's additional features.
