     RunnableLambda can be composed as any other Runnable and provides
     seamless integration with LangChain tracing.
 
+    `RunnableLambda` is best suited for code that does not need to support
+    streaming. If you need to support streaming (i.e., be able to operate
+    on chunks of inputs and yield chunks of outputs), use `RunnableGenerator`
+    instead.
