Introduction
Langfun is a PyGlove powered library that aims to make language models (LM) fun to work with. Its central principle is to enable seamless integration between natural language and programming by treating language as functions. Through the introduction of Object-Oriented Prompting, Langfun empowers users to prompt LLMs using objects and types, offering enhanced control and simplifying agent development.
To unlock the magic of Langfun, you can start with Langfun 101. Notably, Langfun is compatible with popular LLMs such as Gemini, GPT, Claude, all without the need for additional fine-tuning.
Why Langfun?
Langfun is powerful and scalable:
- Seamless integration between natural language and computer programs.
- Modular prompts, which allows a natural blend of texts and modalities;
- Efficient for both request-based workflows and batch jobs;
- A powerful eval framework that thrives dimension explosions.
Langfun is simple and elegant:
- An intuitive programming model, graspable in 5 minutes;
- Plug-and-play into any Python codebase, making an immediate difference;
- Comprehensive LLMs under a unified API: Gemini, GPT, Claude, Llama3, and more.
- Designed for agile developement: offering intellisense, easy debugging, with minimal overhead;
Hello, Langfun
import langfun as lf
import pyglove as pg
from IPython import display
class Item(pg.Object):
name: str
color: str
class ImageDescription(pg.Object):
items: list[Item]
image = lf.Image.from_uri('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Solar_system.jpg/1646px-Solar_system.jpg')
display.display(image)
desc = lf.query(
'Describe objects in {{my_image}} from top to bottom.',
ImageDescription,
lm=lf.llms.Gpt4o(api_key='<your-openai-api-key>'),
my_image=image,
)
print(desc)
Output:
ImageDescription(
items = [
0 : Item(
name = 'Mercury',
color = 'Gray'
),
1 : Item(
name = 'Venus',
color = 'Yellow'
),
2 : Item(
name = 'Earth',
color = 'Blue and white'
),
3 : Item(
name = 'Moon',
color = 'Gray'
),
4 : Item(
name = 'Mars',
color = 'Red'
),
5 : Item(
name = 'Jupiter',
color = 'Brown and white'
),
6 : Item(
name = 'Saturn',
color = 'Yellowish-brown with rings'
),
7 : Item(
name = 'Uranus',
color = 'Light blue'
),
8 : Item(
name = 'Neptune',
color = 'Dark blue'
)
]
)
