configurable_fields(**kwargs: Union[ConfigurableField, ConfigurableFieldSingleOption, ConfigurableFieldMultiOption]) → RunnableSerializable[Input, Output]¶


classmethod construct(_fields_set: Optional[SetStr] = None, **values: Any) → Model¶
Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data.
Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.
Behaves as if Config.extra = ‘allow’ was set since it adds all passed values
copy(*, include: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, exclude: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, update: Optional[DictStrAny] = None, deep: bool = False) → Model¶
Duplicate a model, optionally choose which fields to include, exclude and change.
Parameters
include – fields to include in new model
exclude – fields to exclude from new model, as with values this takes precedence over include
update – values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating
the new model: you should trust this data
deep – set to True to make a deep copy of the model
Returns
new model instance
create_outputs(llm_result: LLMResult) → List[Dict[str, Any]]¶
Create outputs from response.
dict(**kwargs: Any) → Dict¶
Dictionary representation of chain.
Expects Chain._chain_type property to be implemented and for memory to benull.
Parameters
**kwargs – Keyword arguments passed to default pydantic.BaseModel.dict
method.
Returns
A dictionary representation of the chain.
Example
chain.dict(exclude_unset=True)
# -> {"_type": "foo", "verbose": False, ...}


# -> {"_type": "foo", "verbose": False, ...}
evaluate(examples: Sequence[dict], predictions: Sequence[dict], question_key: str = 'query', answer_key: str = 'answer', prediction_key: str = 'result', *, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None) → List[dict][source]¶
Evaluate question answering examples and predictions.
evaluate_strings(*, prediction: str, reference: Optional[str] = None, input: Optional[str] = None, **kwargs: Any) → dict¶
Evaluate Chain or LLM output, based on optional input and label.
Parameters
prediction (str) – The LLM or chain prediction to evaluate.
reference (Optional[str], optional) – The reference label to evaluate against.
input (Optional[str], optional) – The input to consider during evaluation.
**kwargs – Additional keyword arguments, including callbacks, tags, etc.
Returns
The evaluation results containing the score or value.
Return type
dict
classmethod from_llm(llm: BaseLanguageModel, prompt: Optional[PromptTemplate] = None, **kwargs: Any) → QAEvalChain[source]¶
Load QA Eval Chain from LLM.
Parameters
llm (BaseLanguageModel) – the base language model to use.
prompt ('answer' and 'result' that will be used as the) – A prompt template containing the input_variables:
'input' –
prompt –
evaluation. (for) –
PROMPT. (Defaults to) –
**kwargs – additional keyword arguments.
Returns
the loaded QA eval chain.
Return type
QAEvalChain
classmethod from_orm(obj: Any) → Model¶
classmethod from_string(llm: BaseLanguageModel, template: str) → LLMChain¶


classmethod from_string(llm: BaseLanguageModel, template: str) → LLMChain¶
Create LLMChain from LLM and template.
generate(input_list: List[Dict[str, Any]], run_manager: Optional[CallbackManagerForChainRun] = None) → LLMResult¶
Generate LLM result from inputs.
get_input_schema(config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None) → Type[BaseModel]¶
Get a pydantic model that can be used to validate input to the runnable.
Runnables that leverage the configurable_fields and configurable_alternatives
methods will have a dynamic input schema that depends on which
configuration the runnable is invoked with.
This method allows to get an input schema for a specific configuration.
Parameters
config – A config to use when generating the schema.
Returns
A pydantic model that can be used to validate input.
classmethod get_lc_namespace() → List[str]¶
Get the namespace of the langchain object.
For example, if the class is langchain.llms.openai.OpenAI, then the
namespace is [“langchain”, “llms”, “openai”]
get_output_schema(config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None) → Type[BaseModel]¶
Get a pydantic model that can be used to validate output to the runnable.
Runnables that leverage the configurable_fields and configurable_alternatives
methods will have a dynamic output schema that depends on which
configuration the runnable is invoked with.
This method allows to get an output schema for a specific configuration.
Parameters
config – A config to use when generating the schema.
Returns
A pydantic model that can be used to validate output.
invoke(input: Dict[str, Any], config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Dict[str, Any]¶


Transform a single input into an output. Override to implement.
Parameters
input – The input to the runnable.
config – A config to use when invoking the runnable.
The config supports standard keys like ‘tags’, ‘metadata’ for tracing
purposes, ‘max_concurrency’ for controlling how much work to do
in parallel, and other keys. Please refer to the RunnableConfig
for more details.
Returns
The output of the runnable.
classmethod is_lc_serializable() → bool¶
Is this class serializable?
json(*, include: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, exclude: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, by_alias: bool = False, skip_defaults: Optional[bool] = None, exclude_unset: bool = False, exclude_defaults: bool = False, exclude_none: bool = False, encoder: Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]] = None, models_as_dict: bool = True, **dumps_kwargs: Any) → unicode¶
Generate a JSON representation of the model, include and exclude arguments as per dict().
encoder is an optional function to supply as default to json.dumps(), other arguments as per json.dumps().
classmethod lc_id() → List[str]¶
A unique identifier for this class for serialization purposes.
The unique identifier is a list of strings that describes the path
to the object.
map() → Runnable[List[Input], List[Output]]¶
Return a new Runnable that maps a list of inputs to a list of outputs,
by calling invoke() with each input.
classmethod parse_file(path: Union[str, Path], *, content_type: unicode = None, encoding: unicode = 'utf8', proto: Protocol = None, allow_pickle: bool = False) → Model¶
classmethod parse_obj(obj: Any) → Model¶
