Wrapper around OpenAI large language models.

To use you should have the openai package installed, with the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable set.

To use with Azure you should have the openai package installed, with the AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY, AZURE_OPENAI_API_INSTANCE_NAME, AZURE_OPENAI_API_DEPLOYMENT_NAME and AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION environment variable set.

Any parameters that are valid to be passed to openai.createCompletion can be passed through modelKwargs, even if not explicitly available on this class.

const model = new OpenAI({
modelName: "gpt-4",
temperature: 0.7,
maxTokens: 1000,
maxRetries: 5,
});

const res = await model.invoke(
"Question: What would be a good company name for a company that makes colorful socks?\nAnswer:"
);
console.log({ res });

    A StreamEvent is a dictionary with the following schema:

    • event: string - Event names are of the format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).
    • name: string - The name of the runnable that generated the event.
    • run_id: string - Randomly generated ID associated with the given execution of the runnable that emitted the event. A child runnable that gets invoked as part of the execution of a parent runnable is assigned its own unique ID.
    • tags: string[] - The tags of the runnable that generated the event.
    • metadata: Record<string, any> - The metadata of the runnable that generated the event.
    • data: Record<string, any>

    Below is a table that illustrates some events that might be emitted by various chains. Metadata fields have been omitted from the table for brevity. Chain definitions have been included after the table.

    ATTENTION This reference table is for the V2 version of the schema.

    The "on_chain_*" events are the default for Runnables that don't fit one of the above categories.

    In addition to the standard events above, users can also dispatch custom events.

    Custom events will be only be surfaced with in the v2 version of the API!

    A custom event has following format:

    +-----------+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | Attribute | Type | Description                                                                                               |
    +===========+======+===========================================================================================================+
    | name      | str  | A user defined name for the event.                                                                        |
    +-----------+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | data      | Any  | The data associated with the event. This can be anything, though we suggest making it JSON serializable.  |
    +-----------+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    

    Here's an example:

    import { RunnableLambda } from "@langchain/core/runnables";
    import { dispatchCustomEvent } from "@langchain/core/callbacks/dispatch";
    // Use this import for web environments that don't support "async_hooks"
    // and manually pass config to child runs.
    // import { dispatchCustomEvent } from "@langchain/core/callbacks/dispatch/web";

    const slowThing = RunnableLambda.from(async (someInput: string) => {
    // Placeholder for some slow operation
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
    await dispatchCustomEvent("progress_event", {
    message: "Finished step 1 of 2",
    });
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
    return "Done";
    });

    const eventStream = await slowThing.streamEvents("hello world", {
    version: "v2",
    });

    for await (const event of eventStream) {
    if (event.event === "on_custom_event") {
    console.log(event);
    }
    }

    Returns Runnable<BaseLanguageModelInput, RunOutput, RunnableConfig>

  • Type Parameters

    • RunOutput extends Record<string, any> = Record<string, any>

    Parameters

    • schema: Record<string, any> | ZodType<RunOutput, ZodTypeDef, RunOutput>
    • Optionalconfig: StructuredOutputMethodOptions<true>

    Returns Runnable<BaseLanguageModelInput, {
        parsed: RunOutput;
        raw: BaseMessage;
    }, RunnableConfig>

  • Model wrapper that returns outputs formatted to match the given schema.

    Type Parameters

    • RunOutput extends Record<string, any> = Record<string, any>

      The output type for the Runnable, expected to be a Zod schema object for structured output validation.

    Parameters

    • schema: Record<string, any> | ZodType<RunOutput, ZodTypeDef, RunOutput>

      The schema for the structured output. Either as a Zod schema or a valid JSON schema object. If a Zod schema is passed, the returned attributes will be validated, whereas with JSON schema they will not be.

    • Optionalconfig: StructuredOutputMethodOptions<boolean>

    Returns Runnable<BaseLanguageModelInput, RunOutput, RunnableConfig> | Runnable<BaseLanguageModelInput, {
        parsed: RunOutput;
        raw: BaseMessage;
    }, RunnableConfig>

    A new runnable that calls the LLM with structured output.

  • Parameters

    • _data: SerializedLLM

    Returns Promise<BaseLanguageModel<any, BaseLanguageModelCallOptions>>

    Load an LLM from a json-like object describing it.

  • Parameters

    • thing: any

    Returns thing is Runnable<any, any, RunnableConfig>
