## Update 2023-09-08
This PR now supports further models in addition to Lllama-2 chat models.
See [this comment](#issuecomment-1668988543) for further details. The
title of this PR has been updated accordingly.
## Original PR description
This PR adds a generic `Llama2Chat` model, a wrapper for LLMs able to
serve Llama-2 chat models (like `LlamaCPP`,
`HuggingFaceTextGenInference`, ...). It implements `BaseChatModel`,
converts a list of chat messages into the [required Llama-2 chat prompt
format](https://huggingface.co/blog/llama2#how-to-prompt-llama-2) and
forwards the formatted prompt as `str` to the wrapped `LLM`. Usage
example:
```python
# uses a locally hosted Llama2 chat model
llm = HuggingFaceTextGenInference(
inference_server_url="http://127.0.0.1:8080/",
max_new_tokens=512,
top_k=50,
temperature=0.1,
repetition_penalty=1.03,
)
# Wrap llm to support Llama2 chat prompt format.
# Resulting model is a chat model
model = Llama2Chat(llm=llm)
messages = [
SystemMessage(content="You are a helpful assistant."),
MessagesPlaceholder(variable_name="chat_history"),
HumanMessagePromptTemplate.from_template("{text}"),
]
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(messages)
memory = ConversationBufferMemory(memory_key="chat_history", return_messages=True)
chain = LLMChain(llm=model, prompt=prompt, memory=memory)
# use chat model in a conversation
# ...
```
Also part of this PR are tests and a demo notebook.
