**Description:** Updated the retry.ipynb notebook, it contains the illustrations of RetryOutputParser in LangChain. But the notebook lacks to explain the compatibility of RetryOutputParser with existing chains. This changes adds some code to illustrate the workflow of using RetryOutputParser with the user chain. Changes: 1. Changed RetryWithErrorOutputParser with RetryOutputParser, as the markdown text says so. 2. Added code at the last of the notebook to define a chain which passes the LLM completions to the retry parser, which can be customised for user needs. **Issue:** Since RetryOutputParser/RetryWithErrorOutputParser does not implement the parse function it cannot be used with LLMChain directly like [this](https://python.langchain.com/docs/expression_language/cookbook/prompt_llm_parser#prompttemplate-llm-outputparser). This also raised various issues #15133 #12175 #11719 still open, instead of adding new features/code changes its best to explain the "how to integrate LLMChain with retry parsers" clearly with an example in the corresponding notebook.

🦜️🔗 LangChain
⚡ Building applications with LLMs through composability ⚡
Looking for the JS/TS library? Check out LangChain.js.
To help you ship LangChain apps to production faster, check out LangSmith. LangSmith is a unified developer platform for building, testing, and monitoring LLM applications. Fill out this form to get off the waitlist or speak with our sales team.
Quick Install
With pip:
pip install langchain
With conda:
conda install langchain -c conda-forge
🤔 What is LangChain?
LangChain is a framework for developing applications powered by language models. It enables applications that:
- Are context-aware: connect a language model to sources of context (prompt instructions, few shot examples, content to ground its response in, etc.)
- Reason: rely on a language model to reason (about how to answer based on provided context, what actions to take, etc.)
This framework consists of several parts.
- LangChain Libraries: The Python and JavaScript libraries. Contains interfaces and integrations for a myriad of components, a basic run time for combining these components into chains and agents, and off-the-shelf implementations of chains and agents.
- LangChain Templates: A collection of easily deployable reference architectures for a wide variety of tasks.
- LangServe: A library for deploying LangChain chains as a REST API.
- LangSmith: A developer platform that lets you debug, test, evaluate, and monitor chains built on any LLM framework and seamlessly integrates with LangChain.
The LangChain libraries themselves are made up of several different packages.
langchain-core: Base abstractions and LangChain Expression Language.langchain-community: Third party integrations.langchain: Chains, agents, and retrieval strategies that make up an application's cognitive architecture.

🚀 How does LangChain help?
The main value props of the LangChain libraries are:
- Components: composable tools and integrations for working with language models. Components are modular and easy-to-use, whether you are using the rest of the LangChain framework or not
- Off-the-shelf chains: built-in assemblages of components for accomplishing higher-level tasks
Off-the-shelf chains make it easy to get started. Components make it easy to customize existing chains and build new ones.
Components fall into the following modules:
📃 Model I/O:
This includes prompt management, prompt optimization, a generic interface for all LLMs, and common utilities for working with LLMs.
📚 Retrieval:
Data Augmented Generation involves specific types of chains that first interact with an external data source to fetch data for use in the generation step. Examples include summarization of long pieces of text and question/answering over specific data sources.
🤖 Agents:
Agents involve an LLM making decisions about which Actions to take, taking that Action, seeing an Observation, and repeating that until done. LangChain provides a standard interface for agents, a selection of agents to choose from, and examples of end-to-end agents.
