Highlighting LangChain's Chain Composition Feature

One of the standout features of LangChain is its ability to create complex chains through chain composition. This allows developers to build intricate workflows by combining multiple components seamlessly. With chain composition, you can craft solutions that are not only modular but also easily maintainable and extensible.

Example: Building a Simple Chain

Here's a quick example to demonstrate how you can create a simple chain using LangChain:

from langchain.chains import SimpleSequentialChain
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
from langchain.llms import OpenAI

# Define the individual components
template1 = PromptTemplate(template="What is the meaning of {word}?")
template2 = PromptTemplate(template="Provide an example of {word} in a sentence.")

# Create an instance of OpenAI
llm = OpenAI(api_key="your_api_key")

# Build the chain
chain = SimpleSequentialChain(chains=[template1, template2], llm=llm)

# Run the chain
result = chain.run("serendipity")
print(result)

In this example, we utilize the SimpleSequentialChain to create a workflow that first fetches the meaning of a word and then generates an example sentence using that word. The ability to easily combine different processing steps into a single chain is what makes LangChain so powerful.
