# Key Concepts
|
|
|
|
## ChatMessage
|
|
A chat message is what we refer to as the modular unit of information.
|
|
At the moment, this consists of "content", which refers to the content of the chat message.
|
|
At the moment, most chat models are trained to predict sequences of Human <> AI messages.
|
|
This is because so far the primary interaction mode has been between a human user and a singular AI system.
|
|
|
|
At the moment, there are four different classes of Chat Messages
|
|
|
|
### HumanMessage
|
|
A HumanMessage is a ChatMessage that is sent as if from a Human's point of view.
|
|
|
|
### AIMessage
|
|
An AIMessage is a ChatMessage that is sent from the point of view of the AI system to which the Human is corresponding.
|
|
|
|
### SystemMessage
|
|
A SystemMessage is still a bit ambiguous, and so far seems to be a concept unique to OpenAI
|
|
|
|
### ChatMessage
|
|
A chat message is a generic chat message, with not only a "content" field but also a "role" field.
|
|
With this field, arbitrary roles may be assigned to a message.
|
|
|
|
## ChatGeneration
|
|
The output of a single prediction of a chat message.
|
|
Currently this is just a chat message itself (eg content and a role)
|
|
|
|
## Chat Model
|
|
A model which takes in a list of chat messages, and predicts a chat message in response. |
