`Langroid` is an intuitive, lightweight, extensible and principled Python framework to easily build LLM-powered applications, from CMU and UW-Madison researchers. You set up Agents, equip them with optional components (LLM, vector-store and tools/functions), assign them tasks, and have them collaboratively solve a problem by exchanging messages. This Multi-Agent paradigm is inspired by the [Actor Framework](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model) (but you do not need to know anything about this!). `Langroid` is a fresh take on LLM app-development, where considerable thought has gone into simplifying the developer experience; it does not use `Langchain`, or any other LLM framework, and works with [practically any LLM](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/supported-models/). 🔥 ✨ A Claude Code [plugin](#claude-code-plugin-optional) is available to accelerate Langroid development with built-in patterns and best practices. 🔥 Read the (WIP) [overview of the langroid architecture](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/blog/2024/08/15/overview-of-langroids-multi-agent-architecture-prelim/), and a [quick tour of Langroid](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/langroid-tour/). 🔥 MCP Support: Allow any LLM-Agent to leverage MCP Servers via Langroid's simple [MCP tool adapter](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/notes/mcp-tools/) that converts the server's tools into Langroid's `ToolMessage` instances. 📢 Companies are using/adapting Langroid in **production**. Here is a quote: >[Nullify](https://www.nullify.ai) uses AI Agents for secure software development. > It finds, prioritizes and fixes vulnerabilities. We have internally adapted Langroid's multi-agent orchestration framework in production, after evaluating CrewAI, Autogen, LangChain, Langflow, etc. We found Langroid to be far superior to those frameworks in terms of ease of setup and flexibility. Langroid's Agent and Task abstractions are intuitive, well thought out, and provide a great developer experience. We wanted the quickest way to get something in production. With other frameworks it would have taken us weeks, but with Langroid we got to good results in minutes. Highly recommended!

See the Langroid Quick-Start [Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/github/langroid/langroid/blob/main/examples/Langroid_quick_start.ipynb) that builds up to a 2-agent information-extraction example using the OpenAI ChatCompletion API. See also this [version](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/190Tk7t4AdY1P9F_NlZ33-YEoGnHweQQ0) that uses the OpenAI Assistants API instead. 🔥 just released! [Example](https://github.com/langroid/langroid-examples/blob/main/examples/docqa/chat-multi-extract-local.py) script showing how you can use Langroid multi-agents and tools to extract structured information from a document using **only a local LLM** (Mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2). ```python import langroid as lr import langroid.language_models as lm # set up LLM llm_cfg = lm.OpenAIGPTConfig( # or OpenAIAssistant to use Assistant API # any model served via an OpenAI-compatible API chat_model=lm.OpenAIChatModel.GPT4o, # or, e.g., "ollama/mistral" ) # use LLM directly mdl = lm.OpenAIGPT(llm_cfg) response = mdl.chat("What is the capital of Ontario?", max_tokens=10) # use LLM in an Agent agent_cfg = lr.ChatAgentConfig(llm=llm_cfg) agent = lr.ChatAgent(agent_cfg) agent.llm_response("What is the capital of China?") response = agent.llm_response("And India?") # maintains conversation state # wrap Agent in a Task to run interactive loop with user (or other agents) task = lr.Task(agent, name="Bot", system_message="You are a helpful assistant") task.run("Hello") # kick off with user saying "Hello" # 2-Agent chat loop: Teacher Agent asks questions to Student Agent teacher_agent = lr.ChatAgent(agent_cfg) teacher_task = lr.Task( teacher_agent, name="Teacher", system_message=""" Ask your student concise numbers questions, and give feedback. Start with a question. """ ) student_agent = lr.ChatAgent(agent_cfg) student_task = lr.Task( student_agent, name="Student", system_message="Concisely answer the teacher's questions.", single_round=True, ) teacher_task.add_sub_task(student_task) teacher_task.run() ``` # 🔥 Updates/Releases

(thanks @nilspalumbo). - **[0.23.0](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/local-llm-setup/#local-llms-hosted-on-glhfchat)**: support for LLMs (e.g. `Qwen2.5-Coder-32b-Instruct`) hosted on glhf.chat - **[0.22.0](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/notes/large-tool-results/)**: Optional parameters to truncate large tool results. - **[0.21.0](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/notes/gemini/)** Direct support for Gemini models via OpenAI client instead of using LiteLLM. - **[0.20.0](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.20.0)** Support for ArangoDB Knowledge Graphs. - **Oct 2024:** - **[0.18.0]** [LLMConfig.async_stream_quiet](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/notes/async-streaming/) flag to turn off LLM output in async + stream mode. - **[0.17.0]** XML-based tools, see [docs](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/notes/xml-tools/). - **Sep 2024:** - **[0.16.0](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.16.0)** Support for OpenAI `o1-mini` and `o1-preview` models. - **[0.15.0](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.15.0)** Cerebras API support -- run llama-3.1 models hosted on Cerebras Cloud (very fast inference). - **[0.14.0](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.14.0)** `DocChatAgent` uses Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) to rank chunks retrieved by different methods. - **[0.12.0](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.12.0)** `run_batch_task` new option -- `stop_on_first_result` - allows termination of batch as soon as any task returns a result. - **Aug 2024:** - **[0.11.0](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.11.0)** Polymorphic `Task.run(), Task.run_async`. - **[0.10.0](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.10.0)** Allow tool handlers to return arbitrary result type, including other tools. - **[0.9.0](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.9.0)** Orchestration Tools, to signal various task statuses, and to pass messages between agents. - **[0.7.0](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.7.0)** OpenAI tools API support, including multi-tools. - **Jul 2024:** - **[0.3.0](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.3.0)**: Added [FastEmbed](https://qdrant.github.io/fastembed/qdrant/Usage_With_Qdrant/) embeddings from Qdrant - **Jun 2024:** - **0.2.0:** Improved lineage tracking, granular sub-task configs, and a new tool, `RewindTool`, that lets an agent "rewind and redo" a past message (and all dependent messages are cleared out thanks to the lineage tracking). Read notes [here](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.2.0). - **May 2024:** - **Slimmer langroid**: All document-parsers (i.e. pdf, doc, docx) and most vector-databases (except qdrant) are now optional/extra dependencies, which helps reduce build size, script start-up time, and install time. For convenience various grouping of "extras" are provided, e.g. `doc-chat`, `db` (for database-related dependencies). See updated install instructions below and in the docs. - **Few-shot examples** for tools: when defining a [ToolMessage](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/quick-start/chat-agent-tool/#example-find-the-smallest-number-in-a-list), previously you were able to include a classmethod named `examples`, and a random example from this list would be used to generate a 1-shot example for the LLM. This has been improved so you can now supply a list of examples where each example is either a tool instance, or a tuple of (description, tool instance), where the description is a "thought" that leads the LLM to use the tool (see example in the [docs](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/quick-start/chat-agent-tool/#example-find-the-smallest-number-in-a-list)). In some scenarios this can improve LLM tool generation accuracy. Also, now instead of a random example, ALL examples are used to generate few-shot examples. - [Infinite loop detection](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/0ed30eb467b00d5eaf2933b577a4b2cc37de1aa1/langroid/agent/task.py#L1121) for task loops of cycle-length <= 10 (configurable in [`TaskConfig`](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/reference/agent/task/#langroid.agent.task.TaskConfig). Only detects _exact_ loops, rather than _approximate_ loops where the entities are saying essentially similar (but not exactly the same) things repeatedly. - "@"-addressing: any entity can address any other by name, which can be the name of an agent's responder ("llm", "user", "agent") or a sub-task name. This is a simpler alternative to the `RecipientTool` mechanism, with the tradeoff that since it's not a tool, there's no way to enforce/remind the LLM to explicitly specify an addressee (in scenarios where this is important). - [Much-Improved Citation](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/issues/477) generation and display when using `DocChatAgent`. - `gpt-4o` is now the default LLM throughout; Update tests and examples to work with this LLM; use tokenizer corresponding to the LLM. - `gemini 1.5 pro` support via `litellm` - `QdrantDB:` update to support learned sparse embeddings. - **Apr 2024:** - **0.1.236**: Support for open LLMs hosted on Groq, e.g. specify `chat_model="groq/llama3-8b-8192"`. See [tutorial](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/local-llm-setup/). - **0.1.235**: `Task.run(), Task.run_async(), run_batch_tasks` have `max_cost` and `max_tokens` params to exit when tokens or cost exceed a limit. The result `ChatDocument.metadata` now includes a `status` field which is a code indicating a task completion reason code. Also `task.run()` etc can be invoked with an explicit `session_id` field which is used as a key to look up various settings in Redis cache. Currently only used to look up "kill status" - this allows killing a running task, either by `task.kill()` or by the classmethod `Task.kill_session(session_id)`. For example usage, see the `test_task_kill` in [tests/main/test_task.py](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/tests/main/test_task.py) - **Mar 2024:** - **0.1.216:** Improvements to allow concurrent runs of `DocChatAgent`, see the [`test_doc_chat_agent.py`](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/tests/main/test_doc_chat_agent.py) in particular the `test_doc_chat_batch()`; New task run utility: [`run_batch_task_gen`](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/langroid/agent/batch.py) where a task generator can be specified, to generate one task per input. - **0.1.212:** ImagePdfParser: support for extracting text from image-based PDFs. (this means `DocChatAgent` will now work with image-pdfs). - **0.1.194 - 0.1.211:** Misc fixes, improvements, and features: - Big enhancement in RAG performance (mainly, recall) due to a [fix in Relevance Extractor](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.1.209) - `DocChatAgent` [context-window fixes](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.1.208) - Anthropic/Claude3 support via Litellm - `URLLoader`: detect file time from header when URL doesn't end with a recognizable suffix like `.pdf`, `.docx`, etc. - Misc lancedb integration fixes - Auto-select embedding config based on whether `sentence_transformer` module is available. - Slim down dependencies, make some heavy ones optional, e.g. `unstructured`, `haystack`, `chromadb`, `mkdocs`, `huggingface-hub`, `sentence-transformers`. - Easier top-level imports from `import langroid as lr` - Improve JSON detection, esp from weak LLMs - **Feb 2024:** - **0.1.193:** Support local LLMs using Ollama's new OpenAI-Compatible server: simply specify `chat_model="ollama/mistral"`. See [release notes](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.1.193). - **0.1.183:** Added Chainlit support via [callbacks](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/langroid/agent/callbacks/chainlit.py). See [examples](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/tree/main/examples/chainlit). - **Jan 2024:** - **0.1.175** - [Neo4jChatAgent](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/tree/main/langroid/agent/special/neo4j) to chat with a neo4j knowledge-graph. (Thanks to [Mohannad](https://github.com/Mohannadcse)!). The agent uses tools to query the Neo4j schema and translate user queries to Cypher queries, and the tool handler executes these queries, returning them to the LLM to compose a natural language response (analogous to how `SQLChatAgent` works). See example [script](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/tree/main/examples/kg-chat) using this Agent to answer questions about Python pkg dependencies. - Support for `.doc` file parsing (in addition to `.docx`) - Specify optional [`formatter` param](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.1.171) in `OpenAIGPTConfig` to ensure accurate chat formatting for local LLMs. - **[0.1.157](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.1.157):** `DocChatAgentConfig` has a new param: `add_fields_to_content`, to specify additional document fields to insert into the main `content` field, to help improve retrieval. - **[0.1.156](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.1.156):** New Task control signals PASS_TO, SEND_TO; VectorStore: Compute Pandas expression on documents; LanceRAGTaskCreator creates 3-agent RAG system with Query Planner, Critic and RAG Agent. - **Dec 2023:** - **0.1.154:** (For details see release notes of [0.1.149](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.1.149) and [0.1.154](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.1.154)). - `DocChatAgent`: Ingest Pandas dataframes and filtering. - `LanceDocChatAgent` leverages `LanceDB` vector-db for efficient vector search and full-text search and filtering. - Improved task and multi-agent control mechanisms - `LanceRAGTaskCreator` to create a 2-agent system consisting of a `LanceFilterAgent` that decides a filter and rephrase query to send to a RAG agent. - **[0.1.141](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.1.141):** API Simplifications to reduce boilerplate: auto-select an available OpenAI model (preferring gpt-4o), simplifies defaults. Simpler `Task` initialization with default `ChatAgent`. - **Nov 2023:** - **[0.1.126](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/releases/tag/0.1.126):** OpenAIAssistant agent: Caching Support. - **0.1.117:** Support for OpenAI Assistant API tools: Function-calling, Code-intepreter, and Retriever (RAG), file uploads. These work seamlessly with Langroid's task-orchestration. Until docs are ready, it's best to see these usage examples: - **Tests:** - [test_openai_assistant.py](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/tests/main/test_openai_assistant.py) - [test_openai_assistant_async.py](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/tests/main/test_openai_assistant_async.py) - **Example scripts:** - [The most basic chat app](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/examples/basic/oai-asst-chat.py) - [Chat with code interpreter](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/examples/basic/oai-code-chat.py) - [Chat with retrieval (RAG)](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/examples/docqa/oai-retrieval-assistant.py) - [2-agent RAG chat](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/examples/docqa/oai-retrieval-2.py) - **0.1.112:** [`OpenAIAssistant`](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/langroid/agent/openai_assistant.py) is a subclass of `ChatAgent` that leverages the new OpenAI Assistant API. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for `ChatAgent`, and relies on the Assistant API to maintain conversation state, and leverages persistent threads and assistants to reconnect to them if needed. Examples: [`test_openai_assistant.py`](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/tests/main/test_openai_assistant.py), [`test_openai_assistant_async.py`](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/tests/main/test_openai_assistant_async.py) - **0.1.111:** Support latest OpenAI model: `GPT4_TURBO` (see [test_llm.py](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/tests/main/test_llm.py) for example usage) - **0.1.110:** Upgrade from OpenAI v0.x to v1.1.1 (in preparation for Assistants API and more); (`litellm` temporarily disabled due to OpenAI version conflict). - **Oct 2023:** - **0.1.107:** `DocChatAgent` re-rankers: `rank_with_diversity`, `rank_to_periphery` (lost in middle). - **0.1.102:** `DocChatAgentConfig.n_neighbor_chunks > 0` allows returning context chunks around match. - **0.1.101:** `DocChatAgent` uses `RelevanceExtractorAgent` to have the LLM extract relevant portions of a chunk using sentence-numbering, resulting in huge speed up and cost reduction compared to the naive "sentence-parroting" approach (writing out full sentences out relevant whole sentences) which `LangChain` uses in their `LLMChainExtractor`. - **0.1.100:** API update: all of Langroid is accessible with a single import, i.e. `import langroid as lr`.

# 🚀 Demo Suppose you want to extract structured information about the key terms of a commercial lease document. You can easily do this with Langroid using a two-agent system, as we show in the [langroid-examples](https://github.com/langroid/langroid-examples/blob/main/examples/docqa/chat_multi_extract.py) repo. (See [this script](https://github.com/langroid/langroid-examples/blob/main/examples/docqa/chat-multi-extract-local.py) for a version with the same functionality using a local Mistral-7b model.) The demo showcases just a few of the many features of Langroid, such as: - Multi-agent collaboration: `LeaseExtractor` is in charge of the task, and its LLM (GPT4) generates questions to be answered by the `DocAgent`. - Retrieval augmented question-answering, with **source-citation**: `DocAgent` LLM (GPT4) uses retrieval from a vector-store to answer the `LeaseExtractor`'s questions, cites the specific excerpt supporting the answer. - Function-calling (also known as tool/plugin): When it has all the information it needs, the `LeaseExtractor` LLM presents the information in a structured format using a Function-call. Here is what it looks like in action (a pausable mp4 video is [here](https://vimeo.com/871429249)). ![Demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langroid/langroid/main/docs/assets/demos/lease-extractor-demo.gif) # ⚡ Highlights (For a more up-to-date list see the [Updates/Releases](https://github.com/langroid/langroid?tab=readme-ov-file#-updatesreleases) section above) - **Agents as first-class citizens:** The [Agent](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/reference/agent/base/#langroid.agent.base.Agent) class encapsulates LLM conversation state, and optionally a vector-store and tools. Agents are a core abstraction in Langroid; Agents act as _message transformers_, and by default provide 3 _responder_ methods, one corresponding to each entity: LLM, Agent, User. - **Tasks:** A [Task](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/reference/agent/task/) class wraps an Agent, and gives the agent instructions (or roles, or goals), manages iteration over an Agent's responder methods, and orchestrates multi-agent interactions via hierarchical, recursive task-delegation. The `Task.run()` method has the same type-signature as an Agent's responder's methods, and this is key to how a task of an agent can delegate to other sub-tasks: from the point of view of a Task, sub-tasks are simply additional responders, to be used in a round-robin fashion after the agent's own responders. - **Modularity, Reusability, Loose coupling:** The `Agent` and `Task` abstractions allow users to design Agents with specific skills, wrap them in Tasks, and combine tasks in a flexible way. - **LLM Support**: Langroid supports OpenAI LLMs as well as LLMs from hundreds of providers ([local/open](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/local-llm-setup/) or [remote/commercial](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/non-openai-llms/)) via proxy libraries and local model servers such as [ollama](https://github.com/ollama), [oobabooga](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), [LiteLLM](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers) that in effect mimic the OpenAI API. See the [supported LLMs](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/supported-models/). - **Caching of LLM responses:** Langroid supports [Redis](https://redis.com/try-free/) to cache LLM responses. - **Vector-stores**: [Qdrant](https://qdrant.tech/), [Chroma](https://www.trychroma.com/), LanceDB, Pinecone, PostgresDB (PGVector), Weaviate are currently supported. Vector stores allow for Retrieval-Augmented-Generation (RAG). - **Grounding and source-citation:** Access to external documents via vector-stores allows for grounding and source-citation. - **Observability, Logging, Lineage:** Langroid generates detailed logs of multi-agent interactions and maintains provenance/lineage of messages, so that you can trace back the origin of a message. - **[Tools/Plugins/Function-calling](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/quick-start/chat-agent-tool/)**: Langroid supports OpenAI's [function calling](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/gpt/function-calling), as well as an equivalent `ToolMessage` mechanism which works with any LLM, not just OpenAI's. Function calling and tools have the same developer-facing interface, implemented using [Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/), which makes it very easy to define tools/functions and enable agents to use them. Benefits of using Pydantic are that you never have to write complex JSON specs for function calling, and when the LLM hallucinates malformed JSON, the Pydantic error message is sent back to the LLM so it can fix it. --- # ⚙️ Installation and Setup ### Install `langroid` Langroid requires Python 3.11+. We recommend using a virtual environment. Use `pip` to install a bare-bones slim version of `langroid` (from PyPi) to your virtual environment: ```bash pip install langroid ``` The core Langroid package lets you use OpenAI Embeddings models via their API. If you instead want to use the `sentence-transformers` embedding models from HuggingFace, install Langroid like this: ```bash pip install "langroid[hf-embeddings]" ``` For many practical scenarios, you may need additional optional dependencies: - To use various document-parsers, install langroid with the `doc-chat` extra: ```bash pip install "langroid[doc-chat]" ``` - For "chat with databases", use the `db` extra: ```bash pip install "langroid[db]" ``` - You can specify multiple extras by separating them with commas, e.g.: ```bash pip install "langroid[doc-chat,db]" ``` - To simply install _all_ optional dependencies, use the `all` extra (but note that this will result in longer load/startup times and a larger install size): ```bash pip install "langroid[all]" ```

Optional Installs for using SQL Chat with a PostgreSQL DB

If you are using `SQLChatAgent` (e.g. the script [`examples/data-qa/sql-chat/sql_chat.py`](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/examples/data-qa/sql-chat/sql_chat.py)), with a postgres db, you will need to: - Install PostgreSQL dev libraries for your platform, e.g. - `sudo apt-get install libpq-dev` on Ubuntu, - `brew install postgresql` on Mac, etc. - Install langroid with the postgres extra, e.g. `pip install langroid[postgres]` or `poetry add "langroid[postgres]"` or `poetry install -E postgres`, (or the corresponding `uv` versions, e.g. `uv add "langroid[postgres]"` or `uv pip install langroid[postgres]`). If this gives you an error, try `pip install psycopg2-binary` in your virtualenv.

📝 If you get strange errors involving `mysqlclient`, try doing `pip uninstall mysqlclient` followed by `pip install mysqlclient`. ### Claude Code Plugin (Optional) This plugin provides two skills: - `langroid:patterns` - Your Claude Code agent can leverage this skill to produce Langroid multi-agent code using proper design patterns. - `langroid:add-pattern` - The agent can use this skill to record new patterns it learns, for future reference, either autonomously or when prompted by the user. **Step 1: Add the Langroid marketplace** From terminal: ```bash claude plugin marketplace add langroid/langroid ``` Or within Claude Code: ``` /plugin marketplace add langroid/langroid ``` **Step 2: Install the Langroid plugin** From terminal: ```bash claude plugin install langroid@langroid ``` Or within Claude Code: ``` /plugin install langroid@langroid ``` Once installed, simply ask your Claude Code agent to implement Langroid patterns in natural language, e.g., > set up a Langroid agent so it uses the EditTool, and wrap it in a task that ends as soon as the tool is generated and it will automatically use the `langroid:patterns` skill to follow the right design pattern. You can also ask Claude Code to record a new pattern when you discover one, e.g., > record this as a new Langroid pattern for setting up MCP tools ### Set up environment variables (API keys, etc) To get started, all you need is an OpenAI API Key. If you don't have one, see [this OpenAI Page](https://platform.openai.com/docs/quickstart). (Note that while this is the simplest way to get started, Langroid works with practically any LLM, not just those from OpenAI. See the guides to using [Open/Local LLMs](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/local-llm-setup/), and other [non-OpenAI](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/non-openai-llms/) proprietary LLMs.) In the root of the repo, copy the `.env-template` file to a new file `.env`: ```bash cp .env-template .env ``` Then insert your OpenAI API Key. Your `.env` file should look like this (the organization is optional but may be required in some scenarios). ```bash OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here-without-quotes OPENAI_ORGANIZATION=optionally-your-organization-id ```` Alternatively, you can set this as an environment variable in your shell (you will need to do this every time you open a new shell): ```bash export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here-without-quotes ```

Optional Setup Instructions (click to expand)

All of the following environment variable settings are optional, and some are only needed to use specific features (as noted below). - **Qdrant** Vector Store API Key, URL. This is only required if you want to use Qdrant cloud. Alternatively [Chroma](https://docs.trychroma.com/) or [LanceDB](https://lancedb.com/) are also currently supported. We use the local-storage version of Chroma, so there is no need for an API key. - **Redis** Password, host, port: This is optional, and only needed to cache LLM API responses using Redis Cloud. Redis [offers](https://redis.com/try-free/) a free 30MB Redis account which is more than sufficient to try out Langroid and even beyond. If you don't set up these, Langroid will use a pure-python Redis in-memory cache via the [Fakeredis](https://fakeredis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) library. - **Momento** Serverless Caching of LLM API responses (as an alternative to Redis). To use Momento instead of Redis: - enter your Momento Token in the `.env` file, as the value of `MOMENTO_AUTH_TOKEN` (see example file below), - in the `.env` file set `CACHE_TYPE=momento` (instead of `CACHE_TYPE=redis` which is the default). - **GitHub** Personal Access Token (required for apps that need to analyze git repos; token-based API calls are less rate-limited). See this [GitHub page](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens). - **Google Custom Search API Credentials:** Only needed to enable an Agent to use the `GoogleSearchTool`. To use Google Search as an LLM Tool/Plugin/function-call, you'll need to set up [a Google API key](https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/introduction#identify_your_application_to_google_with_api_key), then [setup a Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) and get the CSE ID](https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/tutorial/creatingcse). (Documentation for these can be challenging, we suggest asking GPT4 for a step-by-step guide.) After obtaining these credentials, store them as values of `GOOGLE_API_KEY` and `GOOGLE_CSE_ID` in your `.env` file. Full documentation on using this (and other such "stateless" tools) is coming soon, but in the meantime take a peek at this [chat example](https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/main/examples/basic/chat-search.py), which shows how you can easily equip an Agent with a `GoogleSearchtool`. If you add all of these optional variables, your `.env` file should look like this: ```bash OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here-without-quotes GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-personal-access-token-no-quotes CACHE_TYPE=redis # or momento REDIS_PASSWORD=your-redis-password-no-quotes REDIS_HOST=your-redis-hostname-no-quotes REDIS_PORT=your-redis-port-no-quotes MOMENTO_AUTH_TOKEN=your-momento-token-no-quotes # instead of REDIS* variables QDRANT_API_KEY=your-key QDRANT_API_URL=https://your.url.here:6333 # note port number must be included GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-key GOOGLE_CSE_ID=your-cse-id ```

Optional setup instructions for Microsoft Azure OpenAI(click to expand)

When using Azure OpenAI, additional environment variables are required in the `.env` file. This page [Microsoft Azure OpenAI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/chatgpt-quickstart?tabs=command-line&pivots=programming-language-python#environment-variables) provides more information, and you can set each environment variable as follows: - `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`, from the value of `API_KEY` - `AZURE_OPENAI_API_BASE` from the value of `ENDPOINT`, typically looks like `https://your.domain.azure.com`. - For `AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION`, you can use the default value in `.env-template`, and latest version can be found [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/whats-new#azure-openai-chat-completion-general-availability-ga) - `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME` is the name of the deployed model, which is defined by the user during the model setup - `AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME` Azure OpenAI allows specific model names when you select the model for your deployment. You need to put precisly the exact model name that was selected. For example, GPT-4 (should be `gpt-4-32k` or `gpt-4`). - `AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL_VERSION` is required if `AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME = gpt=4`, which will assist Langroid to determine the cost of the model

--- # 🐳 Docker Instructions We provide a containerized version of the [`langroid-examples`](https://github.com/langroid/langroid-examples) repository via this [Docker Image](https://hub.docker.com/r/langroid/langroid). All you need to do is set up environment variables in the `.env` file. Please follow these steps to setup the container: ```bash # get the .env file template from `langroid` repo wget -O .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langroid/langroid/main/.env-template # Edit the .env file with your favorite editor (here nano), and remove any un-used settings. E.g. there are "dummy" values like "your-redis-port" etc -- if you are not using them, you MUST remove them. nano .env # launch the container (the appropriate image for your architecture will be pulled automatically) docker run -it --rm -v ./.env:/langroid/.env langroid/langroid:latest # Use this command to run any of the scripts in the `examples` directory python examples/ ``` # 🎉 Usage Examples These are quick teasers to give a glimpse of what you can do with Langroid and how your code would look. ⚠️ The code snippets below are intended to give a flavor of the code and they are **not** complete runnable examples! For that we encourage you to consult the [`langroid-examples`](https://github.com/langroid/langroid-examples) repository. ℹ️ The various LLM prompts and instructions in Langroid have been tested to work well with GPT-4 (and to some extent GPT-4o). Switching to other LLMs (local/open and proprietary) is easy (see guides mentioned above), and may suffice for some applications, but in general you may see inferior results unless you adjust the prompts and/or the multi-agent setup. 📖 Also see the [`Getting Started Guide`](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/quick-start/) for a detailed tutorial. Click to expand any of the code examples below. All of these can be run in a Colab notebook: [![Open in Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/langroid/langroid/blob/main/examples/Langroid_quick_start.ipynb)

Direct interaction with LLM

```python import langroid.language_models as lm mdl = lm.OpenAIGPT( lm.OpenAIGPTConfig( chat_model=lm.OpenAIChatModel.GPT4o, # or, e.g. "ollama/qwen2.5" ), ) messages = [ lm.LLMMessage(content="You are a helpful assistant", role=lm.Role.SYSTEM), lm.LLMMessage(content="What is the capital of Ontario?", role=lm.Role.USER), ] response = mdl.chat(messages, max_tokens=200) print(response.message) ``` See the guides to use ([local/open LLMs](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/local-llm-setup/) or [remote/commercial LLMs](https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/non-openai-llms/)).

Interaction with non-OpenAI LLM (local or remote)

Local model: if model is served at `http://localhost:8000`: ```python cfg = lm.OpenAIGPTConfig( chat_model="local/localhost:8000", chat_context_length=4096 ) mdl = lm.OpenAIGPT(cfg) # now interact with it as above, or create an Agent + Task as shown below. ```

Define an agent, set up a task, and run it

```python import langroid as lr agent = lr.ChatAgent() # get response from agent's LLM, and put this in an interactive loop... # answer = agent.llm_response("What is the capital of Ontario?") # ... OR instead, set up a task (which has a built-in loop) and run it task = lr.Task(agent, name="Bot") task.run() # ... a loop seeking response from LLM or User at each turn ```

Three communicating agents

A toy numbers game, where when given a number `n`: - `repeater_task`'s LLM simply returns `n`, - `even_task`'s LLM returns `n/2` if `n` is even, else says "DO-NOT-KNOW" - `odd_task`'s LLM returns `3*n+1` if `n` is odd, else says "DO-NOT-KNOW" Each of these `Task`s automatically configures a default `ChatAgent`. ```python import langroid as lr from langroid.utils.constants import NO_ANSWER repeater_task = lr.Task( name = "Repeater", system_message=""" Your job is to repeat whatever number you receive. """, llm_delegate=True, # LLM takes charge of task single_round=False, ) even_task = lr.Task( name = "EvenHandler", system_message=f""" You will be given a number. If it is even, divide by 2 and say the result, nothing else. If it is odd, say {NO_ANSWER} """, single_round=True, # task done after 1 step() with valid response ) odd_task = lr.Task( name = "OddHandler", system_message=f""" You will be given a number n. If it is odd, return (n*3+1), say nothing else. If it is even, say {NO_ANSWER} """, single_round=True, # task done after 1 step() with valid response ) ``` Then add the `even_task` and `odd_task` as sub-tasks of `repeater_task`, and run the `repeater_task`, kicking it off with a number as input: ```python repeater_task.add_sub_task([even_task, odd_task]) repeater_task.run("3") ```

Simple Tool/Function-calling example

Langroid leverages Pydantic to support OpenAI's [Function-calling API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/gpt/function-calling) as well as its own native tools. The benefits are that you don't have to write any JSON to specify the schema, and also if the LLM hallucinates a malformed tool syntax, Langroid sends the Pydantic validation error (suitably sanitized) to the LLM so it can fix it! Simple example: Say the agent has a secret list of numbers, and we want the LLM to find the smallest number in the list. We want to give the LLM a `probe` tool/function which takes a single number `n` as argument. The tool handler method in the agent returns how many numbers in its list are at most `n`. First define the tool using Langroid's `ToolMessage` class: ```python import langroid as lr class ProbeTool(lr.agent.ToolMessage): request: str = "probe" # specifies which agent method handles this tool purpose: str = """ To find how many numbers in my list are less than or equal to the you specify. """ # description used to instruct the LLM on when/how to use the tool number: int # required argument to the tool ``` Then define a `SpyGameAgent` as a subclass of `ChatAgent`, with a method `probe` that handles this tool: ```python class SpyGameAgent(lr.ChatAgent): def __init__(self, config: lr.ChatAgentConfig): super().__init__(config) self.numbers = [3, 4, 8, 11, 15, 25, 40, 80, 90] def probe(self, msg: ProbeTool) -> str: # return how many numbers in self.numbers are less or equal to msg.number return str(len([n for n in self.numbers if n <= msg.number])) ``` We then instantiate the agent and enable it to use and respond to the tool: ```python spy_game_agent = SpyGameAgent( lr.ChatAgentConfig( name="Spy", vecdb=None, use_tools=False, # don't use Langroid native tool use_functions_api=True, # use OpenAI function-call API ) ) spy_game_agent.enable_message(ProbeTool) ``` For a full working example see the [chat-agent-tool.py](https://github.com/langroid/langroid-examples/blob/main/examples/quick-start/chat-agent-tool.py) script in the `langroid-examples` repo.

Tool/Function-calling to extract structured information from text

Suppose you want an agent to extract the key terms of a lease, from a lease document, as a nested JSON structure. First define the desired structure via Pydantic models: ```python from pydantic import BaseModel class LeasePeriod(BaseModel): start_date: str end_date: str class LeaseFinancials(BaseModel): monthly_rent: str deposit: str class Lease(BaseModel): period: LeasePeriod financials: LeaseFinancials address: str ``` Then define the `LeaseMessage` tool as a subclass of Langroid's `ToolMessage`. Note the tool has a required argument `terms` of type `Lease`: ```python import langroid as lr class LeaseMessage(lr.agent.ToolMessage): request: str = "lease_info" purpose: str = """ Collect information about a Commercial Lease. """ terms: Lease ``` Then define a `LeaseExtractorAgent` with a method `lease_info` that handles this tool, instantiate the agent, and enable it to use and respond to this tool: ```python class LeaseExtractorAgent(lr.ChatAgent): def lease_info(self, message: LeaseMessage) -> str: print( f""" DONE! Successfully extracted Lease Info: {message.terms} """ ) return json.dumps(message.terms.dict()) lease_extractor_agent = LeaseExtractorAgent() lease_extractor_agent.enable_message(LeaseMessage) ``` See the [`chat_multi_extract.py`](https://github.com/langroid/langroid-examples/blob/main/examples/docqa/chat_multi_extract.py) script in the `langroid-examples` repo for a full working example.

Chat with documents (file paths, URLs, etc)

Langroid provides a specialized agent class `DocChatAgent` for this purpose. It incorporates document sharding, embedding, storage in a vector-DB, and retrieval-augmented query-answer generation. Using this class to chat with a collection of documents is easy. First create a `DocChatAgentConfig` instance, with a `doc_paths` field that specifies the documents to chat with. ```python import langroid as lr from langroid.agent.special import DocChatAgentConfig, DocChatAgent config = DocChatAgentConfig( doc_paths = [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_model", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-gram_language_model", "/path/to/my/notes-on-language-models.txt", ], vecdb=lr.vector_store.QdrantDBConfig(), ) ``` Then instantiate the `DocChatAgent` (this ingests the docs into the vector-store): ```python agent = DocChatAgent(config) ``` Then we can either ask the agent one-off questions, ```python agent.llm_response("What is a language model?") ``` or wrap it in a `Task` and run an interactive loop with the user: ```python task = lr.Task(agent) task.run() ``` See full working scripts in the [`docqa`](https://github.com/langroid/langroid-examples/tree/main/examples/docqa) folder of the `langroid-examples` repo.

🔥 Chat with tabular data (file paths, URLs, dataframes)

Using Langroid you can set up a `TableChatAgent` with a dataset (file path, URL or dataframe), and query it. The Agent's LLM generates Pandas code to answer the query, via function-calling (or tool/plugin), and the Agent's function-handling method executes the code and returns the answer. Here is how you can do this: ```python import langroid as lr from langroid.agent.special import TableChatAgent, TableChatAgentConfig ``` Set up a `TableChatAgent` for a data file, URL or dataframe (Ensure the data table has a header row; the delimiter/separator is auto-detected): ```python dataset = "https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/wine-quality/winequality-red.csv" # or dataset = "/path/to/my/data.csv" # or dataset = pd.read_csv("/path/to/my/data.csv") agent = TableChatAgent( config=TableChatAgentConfig( data=dataset, ) ) ``` Set up a task, and ask one-off questions like this: ```python task = lr.Task( agent, name = "DataAssistant", default_human_response="", # to avoid waiting for user input ) result = task.run( "What is the average alcohol content of wines with a quality rating above 7?", turns=2 # return after user question, LLM fun-call/tool response, Agent code-exec result ) print(result.content) ``` Or alternatively, set up a task and run it in an interactive loop with the user: ```python task = lr.Task(agent, name="DataAssistant") task.run() ``` For a full working example see the [`table_chat.py`](https://github.com/langroid/langroid-examples/tree/main/examples/data-qa/table_chat.py) script in the `langroid-examples` repo.
