设置
要访问 OpenAI 对话模型,你需要创建一个 OpenAI 账户,获取一个 API 密钥,并安装@langchain/openai 集成包。
凭证
前往 OpenAI 网站 注册 OpenAI 并生成 API 密钥。完成后,设置OPENAI_API_KEY 环境变量:
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
# export LANGSMITH_TRACING="true"
# export LANGSMITH_API_KEY="your-api-key"
安装
LangChain @[ChatOpenAI] 集成位于 @langchain/openai 包中:
npm install @langchain/openai @langchain/core
yarn add @langchain/openai @langchain/core
pnpm add @langchain/openai @langchain/core
实例化
现在我们可以实例化我们的模型对象并生成对话完成:import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai"
const llm = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-5.5",
temperature: 0,
// other params...
})
调用
const aiMsg = await llm.invoke([
{
role: "system",
content: "You are a helpful assistant that translates English to French. Translate the user sentence.",
},
{
role: "user",
content: "I love programming."
},
])
aiMsg
AIMessage {
"id": "chatcmpl-ADItECqSPuuEuBHHPjeCkh9wIO1H5",
"content": "J'adore la programmation.",
"additional_kwargs": {},
"response_metadata": {
"tokenUsage": {
"completionTokens": 5,
"promptTokens": 31,
"totalTokens": 36
},
"finish_reason": "stop",
"system_fingerprint": "fp_5796ac6771"
},
"tool_calls": [],
"invalid_tool_calls": [],
"usage_metadata": {
"input_tokens": 31,
"output_tokens": 5,
"total_tokens": 36
}
}
console.log(aiMsg.content)
J'adore la programmation.
自定义 URL
你可以通过传递一个configuration 参数来自定义 SDK 发送请求的基础 URL,如下所示:
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const llmWithCustomURL = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-5.5",
temperature: 0.9,
configuration: {
baseURL: "https://your_custom_url.com",
},
});
await llmWithCustomURL.invoke("Hi there!");
configuration 字段也接受官方 SDK 接受的其他 ClientOptions 参数。
如果你在 Azure OpenAI 上托管,请参阅 专用页面。
自定义头部
你可以在同一个configuration 字段中指定自定义头部:
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const llmWithCustomHeaders = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-5.5",
temperature: 0.9,
configuration: {
defaultHeaders: {
"Authorization": `Bearer SOME_CUSTOM_VALUE`,
},
},
});
await llmWithCustomHeaders.invoke("Hi there!");
禁用流式输出使用元数据
某些代理或第三方提供方与 OpenAI 大致相同的 API 接口,但它们不支持最近添加的stream_options 参数来返回流式输出使用情况。你可以使用 @[ChatOpenAI] 通过禁用流式输出来访问这些提供方,如下所示:
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const llmWithoutStreamUsage = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-5.5",
temperature: 0.9,
streamUsage: false,
configuration: {
baseURL: "https://proxy.com",
},
});
await llmWithoutStreamUsage.invoke("Hi there!");
调用微调模型
你可以通过传递相应的modelName 参数来调用微调的 OpenAI 模型。
这通常采用 ft:{OPENAI_MODEL_NAME}:{ORG_NAME}::{MODEL_ID} 格式。例如:
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const fineTunedLlm = new ChatOpenAI({
temperature: 0.9,
model: "ft:gpt-3.5-turbo-0613:{ORG_NAME}::{MODEL_ID}",
});
await fineTunedLlm.invoke("Hi there!");
生成元数据
如果你需要额外的信息,如 logprobs 或 token 使用情况,这些信息将直接在invoke 响应的 response_metadata 字段中返回。
需要
@langchain/core>=0.1.48。import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
// See https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/using_logprobs for details
const llmWithLogprobs = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-5.5",
logprobs: true,
// topLogprobs: 5,
});
const responseMessageWithLogprobs = await llmWithLogprobs.invoke("Hi there!");
console.dir(responseMessageWithLogprobs.response_metadata.logprobs, { depth: null });
{
content: [
{
token: 'Hello',
logprob: -0.0004740447,

logprob: -0.000010206721,
bytes: [ 63 ],
top_logprobs: []
}
],
refusal: null
}
自定义工具
自定义工具 支持任意字符串输入的工具。当你的字符串参数预期为长或复杂时,它们特别有用。 如果你使用支持自定义工具的模型,你可以使用 @[ChatOpenAI] 类和 customTool 函数来创建自定义工具。
import { ChatOpenAI, customTool } from "@langchain/openai";
import { createAgent, HumanMessage } from "langchain";
const codeTool = customTool(
async () => {
// ... Add code to execute the input
return "Code executed successfully";
},
{
name: "execute_code",
description: "Execute a code snippet",
format: { type: "text" },
}
);
const model = new ChatOpenAI({ model: "gpt-5.5" });
const agent = createAgent({
model,
tools: [codeTool],
});
const result = await agent.invoke({
messages: [new HumanMessage("Use the tool to execute the code")],
});
console.log(result);
strict: true
自 2024 年 8 月 6 日起,OpenAI 在调用工具时支持一个 strict 参数,该参数将强制模型遵守工具参数模式。了解更多。
需要
@langchain/openai >= 0.2.6如果
strict: true,工具定义也将被验证,并且接受 JSON schema 的子集。关键在于,模式不能有可选参数(那些带有默认值的参数)。阅读 完整文档 了解支持哪些类型的模式。.bindTools 传递一个额外的 strict: true 参数将把参数传递给所有工具定义:
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { tool } from "@langchain/core/tools";
import * as z from "zod";
const weatherTool = tool((_) => "no-op", {
name: "get_current_weather",
description: "Get the current weather",
schema: z.object({
location: z.string(),
}),
})
const llmWithStrictTrue = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-5.5",
}).bindTools([weatherTool], {
strict: true,
tool_choice: weatherTool.name,
});
// Although the question is not about the weather, it will call the tool with the correct arguments
// because we passed `tool_choice` and `strict: true`.
const strictTrueResult = await llmWithStrictTrue.invoke("What is 127862 times 12898 divided by 2?");
console.dir(strictTrueResult.tool_calls, { depth: null });
[
{
name: 'get_current_weather',
args: { location: 'current' },
type: 'tool_call',
id: 'call_hVFyYNRwc6CoTgr9AQFQVjm9'
}
]
import { zodToJsonSchema } from "zod-to-json-schema";
const toolSchema = {
type: "function",
function: {
name: "get_current_weather",
description: "Get the current weather",
strict: true,
parameters: zodToJsonSchema(
z.object({
location: z.string(),
})
),
},
};
const llmWithStrictTrueTools = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-5.5",
}).bindTools([toolSchema], {
strict: true,
});
const weatherToolResult = await llmWithStrictTrueTools.invoke([{
role: "user",
content: "What is the current weather in London?"
}])
weatherToolResult.tool_calls;
[
{
name: 'get_current_weather',
args: { location: 'London' },
type: 'tool_call',
id: 'call_EOSejtax8aYtqpchY8n8O82l'
}
]
结构化输出
我们也可以将strict: true 传递给 .withStructuredOutput()。以下是一个示例:
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const traitSchema = z.object({
traits: z.array(z.string()).describe("A list of traits contained in the input"),
});
const structuredLlm = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-5.4-mini",
}).withStructuredOutput(traitSchema, {
name: "extract_traits",
strict: true,
});
await structuredLlm.invoke([{
role: "user",
content: `I am 6'5" tall and love fruit.`
}]);
{ traits: [ `6'5" tall`, 'love fruit' ] }
响应 API
兼容性以下要点适用于
@langchain/openai>=0.4.5-rc.0。ChatOpenAI 将路由到响应 API,如果使用其中一项功能。你也可以在实例化 ChatOpenAI 时指定 useResponsesApi: true。
内置工具
为 @[ChatOpenAI] 配备内置工具将使其响应与外部信息相结合,例如通过文件或网络中的上下文。从模型生成的 AIMessage 将包含有关内置工具调用的信息。
网络搜索
要触发网络搜索,将{"type": "web_search_preview"} 作为其他工具一样传递给模型。
你也可以将内置工具作为调用参数传递:
llm.invoke("...", { tools: [{ type: "web_search_preview" }] });
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const llm = new ChatOpenAI({ model: "gpt-5.4-mini" }).bindTools([
{ type: "web_search_preview" },
]);
await llm.invoke("What was a positive news story from today?");
文件搜索
要触发文件搜索,将一个 文件搜索工具 作为其他工具一样传递给模型。你需要填充一个由 OpenAI 管理的向量存储,并在工具定义中包含向量存储 ID。有关更多详细信息,请参阅 OpenAI 文档。import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const llm = new ChatOpenAI({ model: "gpt-5.4-mini" }).bindTools([
{ type: "file_search", vector_store_ids: ["vs..."] },
]);
await llm.invoke("Is deep research by OpenAI?");
计算机使用
ChatOpenAI 支持computer-use-preview 模型,这是一个专为内置计算机使用工具设计的模型。要启用,请像传递其他工具一样传递 计算机使用工具。
目前,计算机使用的工具输出位于 AIMessage.additional_kwargs.tool_outputs。要回复计算机使用工具调用,您需要在创建相应的 ToolMessage 时设置 additional_kwargs.type: "computer_call_output"。
有关更多详细信息,请参阅 OpenAI 文档。
import { AIMessage, ToolMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import * as fs from "node:fs/promises";
const findComputerCall = (message: AIMessage) => {
const toolOutputs = message.additional_kwargs.tool_outputs as
| { type: "computer_call"; call_id: string; action: { type: string } }[]
| undefined;
return toolOutputs?.find((toolOutput) => toolOutput.type === "computer_call");
};
const llm = new ChatOpenAI({ model: "computer-use-preview" })
.bindTools([
{
type: "computer-preview",
display_width: 1024,
display_height: 768,
environment: "browser",
},
])
.bind({ truncation: "auto" });
let message = await llm.invoke("Check the latest OpenAI news on bing.com.");
const computerCall = findComputerCall(message);
if (computerCall) {
// Act on a computer call action
const screenshot = await fs.readFile("./screenshot.png", {
encoding: "base64",
});
message = await llm.invoke(
[
new ToolMessage({
additional_kwargs: { type: "computer_call_output" },
tool_call_id: computerCall.call_id,
content: [
{
type: "computer_screenshot",
image_url: `data:image/png;base64,${screenshot}`,
},
],
}),
],
{ previous_response_id: message.response_metadata["id"] }
);
}
代码解释器
ChatOpenAI 允许您使用内置的 代码解释器工具 来支持沙盒化的代码生成和执行。import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const llm = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "o4-mini",
useResponsesApi: true,
});
const llmWithTools = llm.bindToools([
{
type: "code_interpreter",
// Creates a new container
container: { type: "auto" }
},
]);
const response = await llmWithTools.invoke(
"Write and run code to answer the question: what is 3^3?"
);
const tool_outputs: Record<string, any>[] = response.additional_kwargs.tool_outputs
const container_id = tool_outputs[0].container_id
const llmWithTools = llm.bindTools([
{
type: "code_interpreter",
// Reuses container from the last call
container: container_id,
},
]);
远程 MCP
ChatOpenAI 支持 远程 MCP 工具,它允许模型生成的调用在 OpenAI 服务器上发生。import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const llm = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "o4-mini",
useResponsesApi: true,
});
const llmWithMcp = llm.bindTools([
{
type: "mcp",
server_label: "deepwiki",
server_url: "https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp",
require_approval: "never"
}
]);
const response = await llmWithMcp.invoke(
"What transport protocols does the 2025-03-26 version of the MCP spec (modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol) support?"
);
MCP 批准当被指示时,OpenAI 会在调用远程 MCP 服务器之前请求批准。在上述命令中,我们指示模型永远不需要批准。我们还可以配置模型始终请求批准,或始终对特定工具请求批准:使用此配置,响应可以包含作为
...
const llmWithMcp = llm.bindTools([
{
type: "mcp",
server_label: "deepwiki",
server_url: "https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp",
require_approval: {
always: {
tool_names: ["read_wiki_structure"],
},
},
},
]);
const response = await llmWithMcp.invoke(
"What transport protocols does the 2025-03-26 version of the MCP spec (modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol) support?"
);
mcp_approval_request 类型的工具输出。要提交批准请求的批准,您可以在后续消息中将其结构化为内容块:const approvals = [];
if (Array.isArray(response.additional_kwargs.tool_outputs)) {
for (const content of response.additional_kwargs.tool_outputs) {
if (content.type === "mcp_approval_request") {
approvals.push({
type: "mcp_approval_response",
approval_request_id: content.id,
approve: true,
});
}
}
}
const nextResponse = await model.invoke(
[
response,
new HumanMessage({ content: approvals }),
],
);
图像生成
ChatOpenAI 允许您通过响应 API 在多轮对话中作为图像生成的一部分使用内置的 图像生成工具 来创建图像。import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const llm = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-5.5",
useResponsesApi: true,
});
const llmWithImageGeneration = llm.bindTools([
{
type: "image_generation",
quality: "low",
}
]);
const response = await llmWithImageGeneration.invoke(
"Draw a random short word in green font."
)
推理模型
兼容性:以下要点适用于
@langchain/openai>=0.4.0。o1)时,withStructuredOutput 的默认方法是为结构化输出使用 OpenAI 的内置方法(相当于将 method: "jsonSchema" 作为选项传递给 withStructuredOutput)。JSON schema 与其他模型基本相同,但有一个重要的注意事项:在定义 schema 时,z.optional() 不被尊重,您应该改用 z.nullable()。
以下是一个示例:
import * as z from "zod";
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
// Will not work
const reasoningModelSchemaOptional = z.object({
color: z.optional(z.string()).describe("A color mentioned in the input"),
});
const reasoningModelOptionalSchema = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "o1",
}).withStructuredOutput(reasoningModelSchemaOptional, {
name: "extract_color",
});
await reasoningModelOptionalSchema.invoke([{
role: "user",
content: `I am 6'5" tall and love fruit.`
}]);
{ color: 'No color mentioned' }
z.nullable() 的示例:
import * as z from "zod";
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
// Will not work
const reasoningModelSchemaNullable = z.object({
color: z.nullable(z.string()).describe("A color mentioned in the input"),
});
const reasoningModelNullableSchema = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "o1",
}).withStructuredOutput(reasoningModelSchemaNullable, {
name: "extract_color",
});
await reasoningModelNullableSchema.invoke([{
role: "user",
content: `I am 6'5" tall and love fruit.`
}]);
{ color: null }
在对话中中途添加工具
additional_tools 需要 @langchain/openai>=1.6.2。additional_tools 内容块来从对话中的某个点开始提供工具。当您的应用程序在 OpenAI 的 工具搜索 流程之外加载工具时,这很有用。将块放在 @[SystemMessage] 中:
import { HumanMessage, SystemMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const llm = new ChatOpenAI({ model: "gpt-6-astra", useResponsesApi: true });
const response = await llm.invoke([
new HumanMessage("What time is it?"),
new SystemMessage({
content: [
{
type: "additional_tools",
role: "developer",
tools: [
{
type: "function",
name: "get_time",
description: "Get the current time.",
parameters: { type: "object", properties: {} },
},
],
},
],
}),
]);
useResponsesApi: true。在 Chat Completions 或其他不是 SystemMessage 的消息上,ChatOpenAI 会抛出错误。您也可以将块包装在 non_standard 块中,放在 content 或 contentBlocks 中。
提示词缓存
较新的 OpenAI 模型将自动 缓存您的提示词的一部分,如果您的输入超过一定大小(截至撰写本文时为 1024 个 Token),以减少需要长上下文的用例的成本。 注意:AIMessage.usage_metadata 中尚未标准化给定查询缓存的 Token 数量,而是包含在 AIMessage.response_metadata 字段中。
以下是一个示例
// @lc-docs-hide-cell
const CACHED_TEXT = `## Components
LangChain provides standard, extendable interfaces and external integrations for various components useful for building with LLMs.
Some components LangChain implements, some components we rely on third-party integrations for, and others are a mix.
### Chat models
<span data-heading-keywords="chat model,chat models"></span>
Language models that use a sequence of messages as inputs and return chat messages as outputs (as opposed to using plain text).
These are generally newer models (older models are generally \`LLMs\`, see below).
Chat models support the assignment of distinct roles to conversation messages, helping to distinguish messages from the AI, users, and instructions such as system messages.
Although the underlying models are messages in, message out, the LangChain wrappers also allow these models to take a string as input.
This gives them the same interface as LLMs (and simpler to use).
When a string is passed in as input, it will be converted to a \`HumanMessage\` under the hood before being passed to the underlying model.
LangChain does not host any Chat Models, rather we rely on third party integrations.
We have some standardized parameters when constructing ChatModels:
- \`model\`: the name of the model
Chat Models also accept other parameters that are specific to that integration.
<Warning>
**Some chat models have been fine-tuned for **tool calling** and provide a dedicated API for it.**
Generally, such models are better at tool calling than non-fine-tuned models, and are recommended for use cases that require tool calling.
Please see the [tool calling section](/oss/langchain/tools) for more information.
</Warning>
For specifics on how to use chat models, see the [relevant how-to guides here](/oss/langchain/models).
#### Multimodality
Some chat models are multimodal, accepting images, audio and even video as inputs.
These are still less common, meaning model providers haven't standardized on the "best" way to define the API.
Multimodal outputs are even less common. As such, we've kept our multimodal abstractions fairly light weight
and plan to further solidify the multimodal APIs and interaction patterns as the field matures.
In LangChain, most chat models that support multimodal inputs also accept those values in OpenAI's content blocks format.
So far this is restricted to image inputs. For models like Gemini which support video and other bytes input, the APIs also support the native, model-specific representations.
For specifics on how to use multimodal models, see the [relevant how-to guides here](/oss/how-to/#multimodal).
### LLMs
<span data-heading-keywords="llm,llms"></span>
<Warning>
**Pure text-in/text-out LLMs tend to be older or lower-level. Many popular models are best used as [chat completion models](/oss/langchain/models),**
even for non-chat use cases.
You are probably looking for [the section above instead](/oss/langchain/models).
</Warning>
Language models that takes a string as input and returns a string.
These are traditionally older models (newer models generally are [Chat Models](/oss/langchain/models), see above).
Although the underlying models are string in, string out, the LangChain wrappers also allow these models to take messages as input.
This gives them the same interface as [Chat Models](/oss/langchain/models).
When messages are passed in as input, they will be formatted into a string under the hood before being passed to the underlying model.
LangChain does not host any LLMs, rather we rely on third party integrations.
For specifics on how to use LLMs, see the [relevant how-to guides here](/oss/langchain/models).
### Message types
Some language models take an array of messages as input and return a message.
There are a few different types of messages.
All messages have a \`role\`, \`content\`, and \`response_metadata\` property.
The \`role\` describes WHO is saying the message.
LangChain has different message classes for different roles.
The \`content\` property describes the content of the message.
This can be a few different things:
- A string (most models deal this type of content)
- A List of objects (this is used for multi-modal input, where the object contains information about that input type and that input location)
#### HumanMessage
This represents a message from the user.
#### AIMessage
This represents a message from the model. In addition to the \`content\` property, these messages also have:
**\`response_metadata\`**
The \`response_metadata\` property contains additional metadata about the response. The data here is often specific to each model provider.
This is where information like log-probs and token usage may be stored.
**\`tool_calls\`**
These represent a decision from a language model to call a tool. They are included as part of an \`AIMessage\` output.
They can be accessed from there with the \`.tool_calls\` property.
This property returns a list of \`ToolCall\`s. A \`ToolCall\` is an object with the following arguments:
- \`name\`: The name of the tool that should be called.
- \`args\`: The arguments to that tool.
- \`id\`: The id of that tool call.
#### SystemMessage
This represents a system message, which tells the model how to behave. Not every model provider supports this.
#### ToolMessage
This represents the result of a tool call. In addition to \`role\` and \`content\`, this message has:
- a \`tool_call_id\` field which conveys the id of the call to the tool that was called to produce this result.
- an \`artifact\` field which can be used to pass along arbitrary artifacts of the tool execution which are useful to track but which should not be sent to the model.
#### (Legacy) FunctionMessage
This is a legacy message type, corresponding to OpenAI's legacy function-calling API. \`ToolMessage\` should be used instead to correspond to the updated tool-calling API.
This represents the result of a function call. In addition to \`role\` and \`content\`, this message has a \`name\` parameter which conveys the name of the function that was called to produce this result.
### Prompt templates
<span data-heading-keywords="prompt,prompttemplate,chatprompttemplate"></span>
Prompt templates help to translate user input and parameters into instructions for a language model.
This can be used to guide a model's response, helping it understand the context and generate relevant and coherent language-based output.
Prompt Templates take as input an object, where each key represents a variable in the prompt template to fill in.
Prompt Templates output a PromptValue. This PromptValue can be passed to an LLM or a ChatModel, and can also be cast to a string or an array of messages.
The reason this PromptValue exists is to make it easy to switch between strings and messages.
There are a few different types of prompt templates:
#### String PromptTemplates
These prompt templates are used to format a single string, and generally are used for simpler inputs.
For example, a common way to construct and use a PromptTemplate is as follows:
\`\`\`typescript
import { PromptTemplate } from "@langchain/core/prompts";
const promptTemplate = PromptTemplate.fromTemplate(
"Tell me a joke about {topic}"
);
await promptTemplate.invoke({ topic: "cats" });
\`\`\`
#### ChatPromptTemplates
These prompt templates are used to format an array of messages. These "templates" consist of an array of templates themselves.
For example, a common way to construct and use a ChatPromptTemplate is as follows:
\`\`\`typescript
import { ChatPromptTemplate } from "@langchain/core/prompts";
const promptTemplate = ChatPromptTemplate.fromMessages([
["system", "You are a helpful assistant"],
["user", "Tell me a joke about {topic}"],
]);
await promptTemplate.invoke({ topic: "cats" });
\`\`\`
In the above example, this ChatPromptTemplate will construct two messages when called.
The first is a system message, that has no variables to format.
The second is a HumanMessage, and will be formatted by the \`topic\` variable the user passes in.
#### MessagesPlaceholder
<span data-heading-keywords="messagesplaceholder"></span>
This prompt template is responsible for adding an array of messages in a particular place.
In the above ChatPromptTemplate, we saw how we could format two messages, each one a string.
But what if we wanted the user to pass in an array of messages that we would slot into a particular spot?
This is how you use MessagesPlaceholder.
\`\`\`typescript
import {
ChatPromptTemplate,
MessagesPlaceholder,
} from "@langchain/core/prompts";
import { HumanMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
const promptTemplate = ChatPromptTemplate.fromMessages([
["system", "You are a helpful assistant"],
new MessagesPlaceholder("msgs"),
]);
promptTemplate.invoke({ msgs: [new HumanMessage({ content: "hi!" })] });
\`\`\`
This will produce an array of two messages, the first one being a system message, and the second one being the HumanMessage we passed in.
If we had passed in 5 messages, then it would have produced 6 messages in total (the system message plus the 5 passed in).
This is useful for letting an array of messages be slotted into a particular spot.
An alternative way to accomplish the same thing without using the \`MessagesPlaceholder\` class explicitly is:
\`\`\`typescript
const promptTemplate = ChatPromptTemplate.fromMessages([
["system", "You are a helpful assistant"],
["placeholder", "{msgs}"], // <-- This is the changed part
]);
\`\`\`
For specifics on how to use prompt templates, see the [relevant how-to guides here](/oss/how-to/#prompt-templates).
### Example Selectors
One common prompting technique for achieving better performance is to include examples as part of the prompt.
This gives the language model concrete examples of how it should behave.
Sometimes these examples are hardcoded into the prompt, but for more advanced situations it may be nice to dynamically select them.
Example Selectors are classes responsible for selecting and then formatting examples into prompts.
For specifics on how to use example selectors, see the [relevant how-to guides here](/oss/how-to/#example-selectors).
### Output parsers
<span data-heading-keywords="output parser"></span>
<Note>
**The information here refers to parsers that take a text output from a model try to parse it into a more structured representation.**
More and more models are supporting function (or tool) calling, which handles this automatically.
It is recommended to use function/tool calling rather than output parsing.
See the [LangChain tools documentation](/oss/langchain/tools).
</Note>
Responsible for taking the output of a model and transforming it to a more suitable format for downstream tasks.
Useful when you are using LLMs to generate structured data, or to normalize output from chat models and LLMs.
There are two main methods an output parser must implement:
- "Get format instructions": A method which returns a string containing instructions for how the output of a language model should be formatted.
- "Parse": A method which takes in a string (assumed to be the response from a language model) and parses it into some structure.
And then one optional one:
- "Parse with prompt": A method which takes in a string (assumed to be the response from a language model) and a prompt (assumed to be the prompt that generated such a response) and parses it into some structure. The prompt is largely provided in the event the OutputParser wants to retry or fix the output in some way, and needs information from the prompt to do so.
Output parsers accept a string or \`BaseMessage\` as input and can return an arbitrary type.
LangChain has many different types of output parsers. This is a list of output parsers LangChain supports. The table below has various pieces of information:
**Name**: The name of the output parser
**Supports Streaming**: Whether the output parser supports streaming.
**Input Type**: Expected input type. Most output parsers work on both strings and messages, but some (like OpenAI Functions) need a message with specific arguments.
**Output Type**: The output type of the object returned by the parser.
**Description**: Our commentary on this output parser and when to use it.

const LONG_TEXT = `You are a pirate. Always respond in pirate dialect.
Use the following as context when answering questions:

预测输出
一些 OpenAI 模型(如它们的gpt-4o 和 gpt-4o-mini 系列)支持 预测输出,这允许您提前传递 LLM 预期输出的已知部分,以减少延迟。这对于编辑文本或代码等用例很有用,在这些用例中,模型输出的只有一小部分会改变。
以下是一个示例:
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const modelWithPredictions = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-5.4-mini",
});
const codeSample = `
/// <summary>
/// Represents a user with a first name, last name, and username.
/// </summary>
public class User
{
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the user's first name.
/// </summary>
public string FirstName { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the user's last name.
/// </summary>
public string LastName { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the user's username.
/// </summary>
public string Username { get; set; }
}
`;
// Can also be attached ahead of time
// using `model.bind({ prediction: {...} })`;
await modelWithPredictions.invoke(
[
{
role: "user",
content:
"Replace the Username property with an Email property. Respond only with code, and with no markdown formatting.",
},
{
role: "user",
content: codeSample,
},
],
{
prediction: {
type: "content",
content: codeSample,
},
}
);
AIMessage {
"id": "chatcmpl-AQLyQKnazr7lEV7ejLTo1UqhzHDBl",
"content": "/// <summary>\n/// Represents a user with a first name, last name, and email.\n/// </summary>\npublic class User\n{\n/// <summary>\n/// Gets or sets the user's first name.\n/// </summary>\npublic string FirstName { get; set; }\n\n/// <summary>\n/// Gets or sets the user's last name.\n/// </summary>\npublic string LastName { get; set; }\n\n/// <summary>\n/// Gets or sets the user's email.\n/// </summary>\npublic string Email { get; set; }\n}",

音频输出
一些 OpenAI 模型(如gpt-4o-audio-preview)支持生成音频输出。此示例展示了如何使用该功能:
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const modelWithAudioOutput = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-4o-audio-preview",
// You may also pass these fields to `.bind` as a call argument.
modalities: ["text", "audio"], // Specifies that the model should output audio.
audio: {
voice: "alloy",
format: "wav",
},
});
const audioOutputResult = await modelWithAudioOutput.invoke("Tell me a joke about cats.");
const castAudioContent = audioOutputResult.additional_kwargs.audio as Record<string, any>;
console.log({
...castAudioContent,
data: castAudioContent.data.slice(0, 100) // Sliced for brevity
})
{
id: 'audio_67129e9466f48190be70372922464162',
data: 'UklGRgZ4BABXQVZFZm10IBAAAAABAAEAwF0AAIC7AAACABAATElTVBoAAABJTkZPSVNGVA4AAABMYXZmNTguMjkuMTAwAGRhdGHA',
expires_at: 1729277092,
transcript: "Why did the cat sit on the computer's keyboard? Because it wanted to keep an eye on the mouse!"
}
data 字段中。我们还提供了一个 expires_at 日期字段。该字段表示音频响应将不再在服务器上可用用于多轮对话的日期。
流式音频输出
OpenAI 也支持流式音频输出。以下是一个示例:import { AIMessageChunk } from "@langchain/core/messages";
import { concat } from "@langchain/core/utils/stream"
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
const modelWithStreamingAudioOutput = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-4o-audio-preview",
modalities: ["text", "audio"],
audio: {
voice: "alloy",
format: "pcm16", // Format must be `pcm16` for streaming
},
});
const audioOutputStream = await modelWithStreamingAudioOutput.stream("Tell me a joke about cats.");
let finalAudioOutputMsg: AIMessageChunk | undefined;
for await (const chunk of audioOutputStream) {
finalAudioOutputMsg = finalAudioOutputMsg ? concat(finalAudioOutputMsg, chunk) : chunk;
}
const castStreamedAudioContent = finalAudioOutputMsg?.additional_kwargs.audio as Record<string, any>;
console.log({
...castStreamedAudioContent,
data: castStreamedAudioContent.data.slice(0, 100) // Sliced for brevity
})
{
id: 'audio_67129e976ce081908103ba4947399a3eaudio_67129e976ce081908103ba4947399a3e',
transcript: 'Why was the cat sitting on the computer? Because it wanted to keep an eye on the mouse!',
index: 0,
data: 'CgAGAAIADAAAAA0AAwAJAAcACQAJAAQABQABAAgABQAPAAAACAADAAUAAwD8/wUA+f8MAPv/CAD7/wUA///8/wUA/f8DAPj/AgD6',
expires_at: 1729277096
}
音频输入
这些模型还支持将音频作为输入传递。为此,您必须指定以下input_audio 字段:
import { HumanMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
const userInput = new HumanMessage({
content: [{
type: "input_audio",
input_audio: {
data: castAudioContent.data, // Reuse the base64 data from the first example
format: "wav",
},
}]
})
// Reuse the same model instance
const userInputAudioRes = await modelWithAudioOutput.invoke([userInput]);
console.log((userInputAudioRes.additional_kwargs.audio as Record<string, any>).transcript);
That's a great joke! It's always fun to imagine why cats do the funny things they do. Keeping an eye on the "mouse" is a creatively punny way to describe it!
