The fastest way to deploy a production langchain API.

Project description

Steamship Python Client Library For LangChain (🦜️🔗)

Steamship

Steamship is the fastest way to build, ship, and use full-lifecycle language AI.

This repository contains LangChain adapters for Steamship, enabling LangChain developers to rapidly deploy their apps on Steamship to automatically get:

  • Production-ready API endpoint(s)
  • Horizontal scaling across dependencies / backends
  • Persistent storage of app state (including caches)
  • Built-in support for Authn/z
  • Multi-tenancy support
  • Seamless integration with other Steamship skills (ex: audio transcription)
  • Usage Metrics and Logging
  • And more...

Read more about Steamship and LangChain on our website.

Installing

Install via pip:

pip install steamship-langchain

Adapters

Initial support is offered for the following (with more to follow soon):

  • LLMs
    • An adapter is provided for Steamship's OpenAI integration (steamship_langchain.llms.OpenAI)
    • An adapter is provided for caching LLM calls, via Steamship's Key-Value store (SteamshipCache)
  • Tools
    • Search:
      • An adapter is provided for Steamship's SERPAPI integration (SteamshipSERP)
  • Memory
    • Two adapters that provide persistent conversation memory:
      • Complete Memory (steamship_langchain.memory.ConversationBufferMemory)
      • Windowed Memory (steamship_langchain.memory.ConversationBufferWindowMemory)

📖 Documentation

Please see here for full documentation on:

  • Getting started (installation, setting up the environment, simple examples)
  • How-To examples (demos, integrations, helper functions)

Example Use Cases

Here are a few examples of using LangChain on Steamship:

The examples use temporary workspaces to provide full cleanup during experimentation. Workspaces provide a unit of tenant isolation within Steamship. For production uses, persistent workspaces can be created and retrieved via Steamship(workspace_handle="my_workspace") .

NOTE These examples omit import blocks. Please consult the examples/ directory for complete source code.

NOTE Client examples assume that the user has a Steamship API key and that it is exposed to the environment (see: API Keys)

Basic Prompting

Example of a basic prompt using a Steamship LLM integration (full source: examples/greeting)

Run on Repl.it

Server Snippet

from steamship_langchain.llms import OpenAI

@post("greet")
def greet(self, user: str) -> str:
    prompt = PromptTemplate(
      input_variables=["user"],
      template=
      "Create a welcome message for user {user}. Thank them for running their LangChain app on Steamship. "
      "Encourage them to deploy their app via `ship deploy` when ready.",
    )
    llm = OpenAI(client=self.client, temperature=0.8)
    return llm(prompt.format(user=user))

    while True:
        name = input("Name: ")
        print(f'{api.invoke("/greet", user=name).strip()}\n')

Self Ask With Search

    serp_tool = SteamshipSERP(client=self.client, cache=True)
    tools = [Tool(name="Intermediate Answer", func=serp_tool.search)]

  )

  return chatgpt.predict(human_input=message)

Client Snippet

    session_handle = "foo-user-session-1234"
    while True:
        msg = input("You: ")
        print(f"AI: {api.invoke('/send_message', message=msg, chat_history_handle=session_handle)}")

Summarize Audio (Async Chaining)

stability-experimental

Audio transcription support not yet considered fully-production ready on Steamship. We are working hard on productionizing support for audio transcription at scale, but there may be some existing issues that you encounter as you try this out.

This provides an example of using LangChain to process audio transcriptions obtained via Steamship's speech-to-text plugins (full source: examples/summarize-audio)

A brief introduction to the Task system (and Task dependencies, for chaining) is provided in this example. Here, we use task.wait() style polling, but time-based task.refresh() style polling, etc., is also available.

Run on Repl.it

        texts.extend(text_splitter.split_text(block.text))

Client Snippet

API Keys

Steamship API Keys provide access to our SDK for AI models, including OpenAI, GPT, Cohere, Whisper, and more.

Get your free API key here: https://steamship.com/account/api.

Once you have an API Key, you can :

  • Set the env var STEAMSHIP_API_KEY for your client
  • Pass it directly via Steamship(api_key=) or Steamship.tempory_workspace(api_key=).

Alternatively, you can run ship login, which will guide you through setting up your environment.

Deploying on Steamship

Deploying LangChain apps on Steamship is simple: ship deploy.

From your package directory (where your api.py lives), you can issue the ship deploy command to generate a manifest file and push your package to Steamship. You may then use the Steamship SDK to create instances of your package in Workspaces as best fits your needs.

More on deployment and Workspaces can be found in our docs.
