- bind_tools interface is a better alternative.
- openai doesn't use functions but tools in its API now.
- the underlying content appears in some redirects, so will need to
investigate if we can remove.
Update tool calling using prompts.
- Add required concepts
- Update names of tool invoking function.
- Add doc-string to function, and add information about `config` (which
users often forget)
- Remove steps that show how to use single function only. This makes the
how-to guide a bit shorter and more to the point.
- Add diagram from another how-to guide that shows how the thing works
overall.
Since the LangChain based on many research papers, the LC documentation
has several references to the arXiv papers. It would be beneficial to
create a single page with all referenced papers.
PR:
1. Developed code to search the arXiv references in the LangChain
Documentation and the LangChain code base. Those references are included
in a newly generated documentation page.
2. Page is linked to the Docs menu.
Controversial:
1. The `arxiv_references` page is automatically generated. But this
generation now started only manually. It is not included in the doc
generation scripts. The reason for this is simple. I don't want to
mangle into the current documentation refactoring. If you think, we need
to regenerate this page in each build, let me know. Note: This script
has a dependency on the `arxiv` package.
2. The link for this page in the menu is not obvious.

There are 2 issues fixed here:
* In the notebook pandas dataframes are formatted as HTML in the cells.
On the documentation site the renderer that converts notebooks
incorrectly displays the raw HTML. I can't find any examples of where
this is working and so I am formatting the dataframes as text.
* Some incorrect table names were referenced resulting in errors.
The only change is replacing the word "operators" with "operates," to
make the sentence grammatically correct.
Thank you for contributing to LangChain!
- [x] **PR title**: "docs: Made a grammatical correction in
streaming.ipynb to use the word "operates" instead of the word
"operators""
- [x] **PR message**:
- **Description:** The use of the word "operators" was incorrect, given
the context and grammar of the sentence. This PR updates the
documentation to use the word "operates" instead of the word
"operators".
- **Issue:** Makes the documentation more easily understandable.
- **Dependencies:** -no dependencies-
- **Twitter handle:** --
- [x] **Add tests and docs**: Since no new integration is being made, no
new tests/example notebooks are required.
- [x] **Lint and test**: Run `make format`, `make lint` and `make test`
from the root of the package(s) you've modified. See contribution
guidelines for more: https://python.langchain.com/docs/contributing/
- **No formatting changes made to the documentation**
Additional guidelines:
- Make sure optional dependencies are imported within a function.
- Please do not add dependencies to pyproject.toml files (even optional
ones) unless they are required for unit tests.
- Most PRs should not touch more than one package.
- Changes should be backwards compatible.
- If you are adding something to community, do not re-import it in
langchain.
If no one reviews your PR within a few days, please @-mention one of
baskaryan, efriis, eyurtsev, hwchase17.
- Remove double implementations of functions. The single input is just
taking up space.
- Added tool specific information for `async + showing invoke vs.
ainvoke.
- Added more general information about about `async` (this should live
in a different place eventually since it's not specific to tools).
- Changed ordering of custom tools (StructuredTool is simpler and should
appear before the inheritance)
- Improved the error handling section (not convinced it should be here
though)
- Add information about naitve tool calling capabilities
- Add information about standard langchain interface for tool calling
- Update description for tools

This PR improves on the `CassandraCache` and `CassandraSemanticCache`
classes, mainly in the constructor signature, and also introduces
several minor improvements around these classes.
### Init signature
A (sigh) breaking change is tentatively introduced to the constructor.
To me, the advantages outweigh the possible discomfort: the new syntax
places the DB-connection objects `session` and `keyspace` later in the
param list, so that they can be given a default value. This is what
enables the pattern of _not_ specifying them, provided one has
previously initialized the Cassandra connection through the versatile
utility method `cassio.init(...)`.
In this way, a much less unwieldy instantiation can be done, such as
`CassandraCache()` and `CassandraSemanticCache(embedding=xyz)`,
everything else falling back to defaults.
A downside is that, compared to the earlier signature, this might turn
out to be breaking for those doing positional instantiation. As a way to
mitigate this problem, this PR typechecks its first argument trying to
detect the legacy usage.
(And to make this point less tricky in the future, most arguments are
left to be keyword-only).
If this is considered too harsh, I'd like guidance on how to further
smoothen this transition. **Our plan is to make the pattern of optional
session/keyspace a standard across all Cassandra classes**, so that a
repeatable strategy would be ideal. A possibility would be to keep
positional arguments for legacy reasons but issue a deprecation warning
if any of them is actually used, to later remove them with 0.2 - please
advise on this point.
### Other changes
- class docstrings: enriched, completely moved to class level, added
note on `cassio.init(...)` pattern, added tiny sample usage code.
- semantic cache: revised terminology to never mention "distance" (it is
in fact a similarity!). Kept the legacy constructor param with a
deprecation warning if used.
- `llm_caching` notebook: uniform flow with the Cassandra and Astra DB
separate cases; better and Cassandra-first description; all imports made
explicit and from community where appropriate.
- cache integration tests moved to community (incl. the imported tools),
env var bugfix for `CASSANDRA_CONTACT_POINTS`.
