Big docs refactor! Motivation is to make it easier for people to find resources they are looking for. To accomplish this, there are now three main sections: - Getting Started: steps for getting started, walking through most core functionality - Modules: these are different modules of functionality that langchain provides. Each part here has a "getting started", "how to", "key concepts" and "reference" section (except in a few select cases where it didnt easily fit). - Use Cases: this is to separate use cases (like summarization, question answering, evaluation, etc) from the modules, and provide a different entry point to the code base. There is also a full reference section, as well as extra resources (glossary, gallery, etc) Co-authored-by: Shreya Rajpal <ShreyaR@users.noreply.github.com>

Generic Chains
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
A chain is made up of links, which can be either primitives or other chains.
|
|
Primitives can be either `prompts <../prompts.html>`_, `llms <../llms.html>`_, `utils <../utils.html>`_, or other chains.
|
|
The examples here are all generic end-to-end chains that are meant to be used to construct other chains rather than serving a specific purpose.
|
|
|
|
**LLMChain**
|
|
|
|
- **Links Used**: PromptTemplate, LLM
|
|
- **Notes**: This chain is the simplest chain, and is widely used by almost every other chain. This chain takes arbitrary user input, creates a prompt with it from the PromptTemplate, passes that to the LLM, and then returns the output of the LLM as the final output.
|
|
- `Example Notebook <generic/llm_chain.html>`_
|
|
|
|
**Transformation Chain**
|
|
|
|
- **Links Used**: TransformationChain
|
|
- **Notes**: This notebook shows how to use the Transformation Chain, which takes an arbitrary python function and applies it to inputs/outputs of other chains.
|
|
- `Example Notebook <generic/transformation.html>`_
|
|
|
|
**Sequential Chain**
|
|
|
|
- **Links Used**: Sequential
|
|
- **Notes**: This notebook shows how to combine calling multiple other chains in sequence.
