`langchain.chains.constitutional_ai.base`.ConstitutionalChain¶

Note

ConstitutionalChain implements the standard Runnable Interface. 🏃

The Runnable Interface has additional methods that are available on runnables, such as with_types, with_retry, assign, bind, get_graph, and more.

class langchain.chains.constitutional_ai.base.ConstitutionalChain[source]¶

Bases: Chain

Chain for applying constitutional principles.

Example

from langchain_community.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.chains import LLMChain, ConstitutionalChain
from langchain.chains.constitutional_ai.models                 import ConstitutionalPrinciple

llm = OpenAI()

qa_prompt = PromptTemplate(
    template="Q: {question} A:",
    input_variables=["question"],
)
qa_chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=qa_prompt)

constitutional_chain = ConstitutionalChain.from_llm(
    llm=llm,
    chain=qa_chain,
    constitutional_principles=[
        ConstitutionalPrinciple(
            critique_request="Tell if this answer is good.",
            revision_request="Give a better answer.",
        )
    ],
)

constitutional_chain.run(question="What is the meaning of life?")

param callback_manager: Optional[BaseCallbackManager] = None¶: [DEPRECATED] Use callbacks instead.

param callbacks: Callbacks = None¶: Optional list of callback handlers (or callback manager). Defaults to None. Callback handlers are called throughout the lifecycle of a call to a chain, starting with on_chain_start, ending with on_chain_end or on_chain_error. Each custom chain can optionally call additional callback methods, see Callback docs for full details.

param chain: LLMChain [Required]¶

param constitutional_principles: List[ConstitutionalPrinciple] [Required]¶

param critique_chain: LLMChain [Required]¶

param memory: Optional[BaseMemory] = None¶: Optional memory object. Defaults to None. Memory is a class that gets called at the start and at the end of every chain. At the start, memory loads variables and passes them along in the chain. At the end, it saves any returned variables. There are many different types of memory - please see memory docs for the full catalog.

param metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None¶: Optional metadata associated with the chain. Defaults to None. This metadata will be associated with each call to this chain, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a chain with its use case.

param return_intermediate_steps: bool = False¶

param revision_chain: LLMChain [Required]¶

param tags: Optional[List[str]] = None¶: Optional list of tags associated with the chain. Defaults to None. These tags will be associated with each call to this chain, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a chain with its use case.

param verbose: bool [Optional]¶: Whether or not run in verbose mode. In verbose mode, some intermediate logs will be printed to the console. Defaults to the global verbose value, accessible via langchain.globals.get_verbose().

__call__(inputs: Union[Dict[str, Any], Any], return_only_outputs: bool = False, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, *, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, run_name: Optional[str] = None, include_run_info: bool = False) → Dict[str, Any]¶

async arun(*args: Any, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Any¶

Deprecated since version langchain==0.1.0: Use ainvoke instead.

Convenience method for executing chain.

The main difference between this method and Chain.__call__ is that this method expects inputs to be passed directly in as positional arguments or keyword arguments, whereas Chain.__call__ expects a single input dictionary with all the inputs

Parameters

*args (Any) – If the chain expects a single input, it can be passed in as the sole positional argument.
callbacks (Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]]) – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
tags (Optional[List[str]]) – List of string tags to pass to all callbacks. These will be passed in addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only these runtime tags will propagate to calls to other objects.
**kwargs (Any) – If the chain expects multiple inputs, they can be passed in directly as keyword arguments.
metadata (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) –
**kwargs –

Returns

The chain output.

Return type

Any

Example

# Suppose we have a single-input chain that takes a 'question' string:
await chain.arun("What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?")
# -> "The temperature in Boise is..."

# Suppose we have a multi-input chain that takes a 'question' string
# and 'context' string:
question = "What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?"
context = "Weather report for Boise, Idaho on 07/03/23..."
await chain.arun(question=question, context=context)
# -> "The temperature in Boise is..."

as_tool(args_schema: Optional[Type[BaseModel]] = None, *, name: Optional[str] = None, description: Optional[str] = None, arg_types: Optional[Dict[str, Type]] = None) → BaseTool¶

Beta

This API is in beta and may change in the future.

Create a BaseTool from a Runnable.

as_tool will instantiate a BaseTool with a name, description, and args_schema from a Runnable. Where possible, schemas are inferred from runnable.get_input_schema. Alternatively (e.g., if the Runnable takes a dict as input and the specific dict keys are not typed), the schema can be specified directly with args_schema. You can also pass arg_types to just specify the required arguments and their types.

Parameters

args_schema (Optional[Type[BaseModel]]) – The schema for the tool. Defaults to None.
name (Optional[str]) – The name of the tool. Defaults to None.
description (Optional[str]) – The description of the tool. Defaults to None.
arg_types (Optional[Dict[str, Type]]) – A dictionary of argument names to types. Defaults to None.

Returns

A BaseTool instance.

Return type

BaseTool

Typed dict input:

from typing import List
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda

class Args(TypedDict):
    a: int
    b: List[int]

def f(x: Args) -> str:
    return str(x["a"] * max(x["b"]))

runnable = RunnableLambda(f)
as_tool = runnable.as_tool()
as_tool.invoke({"a": 3, "b": [1, 2]})

dict input, specifying schema via args_schema:

from typing import Any, Dict, List
from langchain_core.pydantic_v1 import BaseModel, Field
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda

def f(x: Dict[str, Any]) -> str:
    return str(x["a"] * max(x["b"]))

class FSchema(BaseModel):
    """Apply a function to an integer and list of integers."""

    a: int = Field(..., description="Integer")
    b: List[int] = Field(..., description="List of ints")

runnable = RunnableLambda(f)
as_tool = runnable.as_tool(FSchema)
as_tool.invoke({"a": 3, "b": [1, 2]})

dict input, specifying schema via arg_types:

from typing import Any, Dict, List
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda

def f(x: Dict[str, Any]) -> str:
    return str(x["a"] * max(x["b"]))

runnable = RunnableLambda(f)
as_tool = runnable.as_tool(arg_types={"a": int, "b": List[int]})
as_tool.invoke({"a": 3, "b": [1, 2]})

String input:

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda

def f(x: str) -> str:
    return x + "a"

def g(x: str) -> str:
    return x + "z"

runnable = RunnableLambda(f) | g
as_tool = runnable.as_tool()
as_tool.invoke("b")

New in version 0.2.14.

async astream(input: Input, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → AsyncIterator[Output]¶

Default implementation of astream, which calls ainvoke. Subclasses should override this method if they support streaming output.

Parameters

input (Input) – The input to the Runnable.
config (Optional[RunnableConfig]) – The config to use for the Runnable. Defaults to None.
kwargs (Optional[Any]) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable.

Yields

The output of the Runnable.

Return type

AsyncIterator[Output]

astream_events(input: Any, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, *, version: Literal['v1', 'v2'], include_names: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, include_types: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, include_tags: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_names: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_types: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_tags: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → AsyncIterator[Union[StandardStreamEvent, CustomStreamEvent]]¶

Beta

This API is in beta and may change in the future.

Generate a stream of events.

Use to create an iterator over StreamEvents that provide real-time information about the progress of the Runnable, including StreamEvents from intermediate results.

A StreamEvent is a dictionary with the following schema:

event: str - Event names are of the
format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).
name: str - The name of the Runnable that generated the event.
run_id: str - randomly generated ID associated with the given execution of
the Runnable that emitted the event. A child Runnable that gets invoked as part of the execution of a parent Runnable is assigned its own unique ID.
parent_ids: List[str] - The IDs of the parent runnables that
generated the event. The root Runnable will have an empty list. The order of the parent IDs is from the root to the immediate parent. Only available for v2 version of the API. The v1 version of the API will return an empty list.
tags: Optional[List[str]] - The tags of the Runnable that generated
the event.
metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] - The metadata of the Runnable
that generated the event.
data: Dict[str, Any]

Below is a table that illustrates some evens that might be emitted by various chains. Metadata fields have been omitted from the table for brevity. Chain definitions have been included after the table.

ATTENTION This reference table is for the V2 version of the schema.

event	name	chunk	input	output
on_chat_model_start	[model name]		{“messages”: [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}
on_chat_model_stream	[model name]	AIMessageChunk(content=”hello”)
on_chat_model_end	[model name]		{“messages”: [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}	AIMessageChunk(content=”hello world”)
on_llm_start	[model name]		{‘input’: ‘hello’}
on_llm_stream	[model name]	‘Hello’
on_llm_end	[model name]		‘Hello human!’
on_chain_start	format_docs
on_chain_stream	format_docs	“hello world!, goodbye world!”
on_chain_end	format_docs		[Document(…)]	“hello world!, goodbye world!”
on_tool_start	some_tool		{“x”: 1, “y”: “2”}
on_tool_end	some_tool			{“x”: 1, “y”: “2”}
on_retriever_start	[retriever name]		{“query”: “hello”}
on_retriever_end	[retriever name]		{“query”: “hello”}	[Document(…), ..]
on_prompt_start	[template_name]		{“question”: “hello”}
on_prompt_end	[template_name]		{“question”: “hello”}	ChatPromptValue(messages: [SystemMessage, …])

In addition to the standard events, users can also dispatch custom events (see example below).

Custom events will be only be surfaced with in the v2 version of the API!

A custom event has following format:

Attribute	Type	Description
name	str	A user defined name for the event.
data	Any	The data associated with the event. This can be anything, though we suggest making it JSON serializable.

Here are declarations associated with the standard events shown above:

format_docs:

def format_docs(docs: List[Document]) -> str:
    '''Format the docs.'''
    return ", ".join([doc.page_content for doc in docs])

format_docs = RunnableLambda(format_docs)

some_tool:

@tool
def some_tool(x: int, y: str) -> dict:
    '''Some_tool.'''
    return {"x": x, "y": y}

prompt:

template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
    [("system", "You are Cat Agent 007"), ("human", "{question}")]
).with_config({"run_name": "my_template", "tags": ["my_template"]})

Example:

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda

async def reverse(s: str) -> str:
    return s[::-1]

chain = RunnableLambda(func=reverse)

events = [
    event async for event in chain.astream_events("hello", version="v2")
]

# will produce the following events (run_id, and parent_ids
# has been omitted for brevity):
[
    {
        "data": {"input": "hello"},
        "event": "on_chain_start",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"chunk": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_stream",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"output": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_end",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
]

Example: Dispatch Custom Event

from langchain_core.callbacks.manager import (
    adispatch_custom_event,
)
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda, RunnableConfig
import asyncio


async def slow_thing(some_input: str, config: RunnableConfig) -> str:
    """Do something that takes a long time."""
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation
    await adispatch_custom_event(
        "progress_event",
        {"message": "Finished step 1 of 3"},
        config=config # Must be included for python < 3.10
    )
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation
    await adispatch_custom_event(
        "progress_event",
        {"message": "Finished step 2 of 3"},
        config=config # Must be included for python < 3.10
    )
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation

Parameters

input (Any) – The input to the Runnable.
config (Optional[RunnableConfig]) – The config to use for the Runnable.
version (Literal['v1', 'v2']) – The version of the schema to use either v2 or v1. Users should use v2. v1 is for backwards compatibility and will be deprecated in 0.4.0. No default will be assigned until the API is stabilized. custom events will only be surfaced in v2.

exclude_types (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – Exclude events from runnables with matching types.
exclude_tags (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – Exclude events from runnables with matching tags.
kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable. These will be passed to astream_log as this implementation of astream_events is built on top of astream_log.

Yields

An async stream of StreamEvents.

Raises

NotImplementedError – If the version is not v1 or v2.

Return type

AsyncIterator[Union[StandardStreamEvent, CustomStreamEvent]]

classmethod get_principles(names: Optional[List[str]] = None) → List[ConstitutionalPrinciple][source]¶

Parameters: names (Optional[List[str]]) –
Return type: List[ConstitutionalPrinciple]

invoke(input: Dict[str, Any], config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Dict[str, Any]¶

Transform a single input into an output. Override to implement.

Parameters

input (Dict[str, Any]) – The input to the Runnable.
config (Optional[RunnableConfig]) – A config to use when invoking the Runnable. The config supports standard keys like ‘tags’, ‘metadata’ for tracing purposes, ‘max_concurrency’ for controlling how much work to do in parallel, and other keys. Please refer to the RunnableConfig for more details.
kwargs (Any) –

Returns

The output of the Runnable.

Return type

Dict[str, Any]

prep_inputs(inputs: Union[Dict[str, Any], Any]) → Dict[str, str]¶

Prepare chain inputs, including adding inputs from memory.

Parameters: inputs (Union[Dict[str, Any], Any]) – Dictionary of raw inputs, or single input if chain expects only one param. Should contain all inputs specified in Chain.input_keys except for inputs that will be set by the chain’s memory.
Returns: A dictionary of all inputs, including those added by the chain’s memory.
Return type: Dict[str, str]

prep_outputs(inputs: Dict[str, str], outputs: Dict[str, str], return_only_outputs: bool = False) → Dict[str, str]¶

Validate and prepare chain outputs, and save info about this run to memory.

Parameters

inputs (Dict[str, str]) – Dictionary of chain inputs, including any inputs added by chain memory.
outputs (Dict[str, str]) – Dictionary of initial chain outputs.
return_only_outputs (bool) – Whether to only return the chain outputs. If False, inputs are also added to the final outputs.

Returns

A dict of the final chain outputs.

Return type

Dict[str, str]

run(*args: Any, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Any¶

Deprecated since version langchain==0.1.0: Use invoke instead.

Convenience method for executing chain.

The main difference between this method and Chain.__call__ is that this method expects inputs to be passed directly in as positional arguments or keyword arguments, whereas Chain.__call__ expects a single input dictionary with all the inputs

Parameters

*args (Any) – If the chain expects a single input, it can be passed in as the sole positional argument.
callbacks (Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]]) – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
tags (Optional[List[str]]) – List of string tags to pass to all callbacks. These will be passed in addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only these runtime tags will propagate to calls to other objects.
**kwargs (Any) – If the chain expects multiple inputs, they can be passed in directly as keyword arguments.
metadata (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) –
**kwargs –

Returns

The chain output.

Return type

Any

Example

# Suppose we have a single-input chain that takes a 'question' string:
chain.run("What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?")
# -> "The temperature in Boise is..."

# Suppose we have a multi-input chain that takes a 'question' string
# and 'context' string:
question = "What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?"
context = "Weather report for Boise, Idaho on 07/03/23..."
chain.run(question=question, context=context)
# -> "The temperature in Boise is..."

save(file_path: Union[Path, str]) → None¶

Save the chain.

Expects Chain._chain_type property to be implemented and for memory to be: null.

Parameters: file_path (Union[Path, str]) – Path to file to save the chain to.
Return type: None

Example

chain.save(file_path="path/chain.yaml")

stream(input: Input, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → Iterator[Output]¶

Default implementation of stream, which calls invoke. Subclasses should override this method if they support streaming output.

Parameters

input (Input) – The input to the Runnable.
config (Optional[RunnableConfig]) – The config to use for the Runnable. Defaults to None.
kwargs (Optional[Any]) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable.

Yields

The output of the Runnable.

Return type

Iterator[Output]

to_json() → Union[SerializedConstructor, SerializedNotImplemented]¶

Serialize the Runnable to JSON.

Returns: A JSON-serializable representation of the Runnable.
Return type: Union[SerializedConstructor, SerializedNotImplemented]

property input_keys: List[str]¶: Input keys.

property output_keys: List[str]¶: Output keys.
