About the Book
LangChain is a framework for hooking large language models like GPT-4 together, and adding processing steps that might be web search, database lookups, calling APIs, etc.
This is a tutorial on effectively using LLMs and a projects book that will provide you with ideas and projects to get you started. Most book examples require either an OpenAI or Hugging Face API keys (free tiers are sufficient).
New examples (added 2024) include running local models using Ollama.
