LangChain and LlamaIndex
๐ง LangChain: Simple Overview LangChain is a powerful open-source framework that helps you build applications using Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 by connecting them with external data , tools , and memory . Think of it as the orchestrator that turns a language model into a full-fledged intelligent agent. ๐ง What Does LangChain Do? Capability Description ๐ Retrieval Connects LLMs to vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, FAISS) for RAG pipelines ๐ง Memory Adds short-term or long-term memory to chatbots ๐ ️ Tools Lets LLMs use tools like search engines, calculators, or APIs ๐ Chains Combines multiple steps (e.g., retrieval → generation → summarization) into a workflow ๐งฉ Agents Enables LLMs to reason and decide which tools to use dynamically ๐งช Simple LangChain Example (RAG) from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings from langchain.llms import Open...
