+
+    RunnableParallel is one of the two main composition primitives for the LCEL,
+    alongside RunnableSequence. It invokes runnables concurrently, providing the same
+    input to each.
+
+    A RunnableParallel can be instantiated directly or by using a dict literal within a
+    sequence.
+
+    Here is a simple example that uses functions to illustrate the use of
+    RunnableParallel:
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda
+
+            def add_one(x: int) -> int:
+                return x + 1
+
+            def mul_two(x: int) -> int:
+                return x * 2
+
+            def mul_three(x: int) -> int:
+                return x * 3
+
+            runnable_1 = RunnableLambda(add_one)
+            runnable_2 = RunnableLambda(mul_two)
+            runnable_3 = RunnableLambda(mul_three)
+
+            sequence = runnable_1 | {  # this dict is coerced to a RunnableParallel
+                "mul_two": runnable_2,
+                "mul_three": runnable_3,
+            }
+            # Or equivalently:
+            # sequence = runnable_1 | RunnableParallel(
+            #     {"mul_two": runnable_2, "mul_three": runnable_3}
+            # )
+            # Also equivalently:
+            # sequence = runnable_1 | RunnableParallel(
+            #     mul_two=runnable_2,
+            #     mul_three=runnable_3,
+            # )
+
+            sequence.invoke(1)
+            await sequence.ainvoke(1)
+
+            sequence.batch([1, 2, 3])
+            await sequence.abatch([1, 2, 3])
+
+    RunnableParallel makes it easy to run Runnables in parallel. In the below example,
+    we simultaneously stream output from two different Runnables:
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
+            from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableParallel
+            from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
+
+            model = ChatOpenAI()
+            joke_chain = (
+                ChatPromptTemplate.from_template("tell me a joke about {topic}")
+                | model
+            )
+            poem_chain = (
+                ChatPromptTemplate.from_template("write a 2-line poem about {topic}")
+                | model
+            )
+
+            runnable = RunnableParallel(joke=joke_chain, poem=poem_chain)
+
+            # Display stream
+            output = {key: "" for key, _ in runnable.output_schema()}
+            for chunk in runnable.stream({"topic": "bear"}):
+                for key in chunk:
+                    output[key] = output[key] + chunk[key].content
+                print(output)
