LangChain
LangChain is an open-source framework designed for building applications with large language models (LLMs). It enables integration with various data sources and APIs to support advanced AI workflows, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
Features
- Composable Framework: LangChain provides a modular approach for constructing context-aware, reasoning applications powered by LLMs.
- Open-Source: The framework is open-source and has a large, active community.
- Integration with Vector Databases: Supports integration with vector databases such as Pinecone, Weaviate, and Chroma for efficient retrieval-augmented generation.
- Multi-Language Support: Offers SDKs and documentation for both Python and JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Vendor Optionality: Designed to allow flexibility and future-proofing by making it easy to swap or add new vendors in the LLM workflow.
- Extensive Integrations: Connects with a wide array of LLM providers, APIs, and data sources.
- Building, Running, and Managing LLM Apps: Can be used alongside other LangChain products (LangGraph, LangSmith) for orchestration, deployment, observability, and evaluation.
- Developer Tools: Includes resources such as documentation, changelogs, tutorials, and a community hub.
- Scalable: Built to support applications at scale, from prototypes to production deployments.
