This PR introduces the following Runnables:

1. BaseRateLimiter: an abstraction for specifying a time based rate
limiter as a Runnable
2. InMemoryRateLimiter: Provides an in-memory implementation of a rate
limiter

## Example

```python

from langchain_core.runnables import InMemoryRateLimiter, RunnableLambda
from datetime import datetime

foo = InMemoryRateLimiter(requests_per_second=0.5)

def meow(x):
    print(datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S.%f"))
    return x

chain = foo | meow

for _ in range(10):
    print(chain.invoke('hello'))
```

Produces:

```
17:12:07.530151
hello
17:12:09.537932
hello
17:12:11.548375

```

## Interface

The rate limiter uses the following interface for acquiring a token:

```python
class BaseRateLimiter(Runnable[Input, Output], abc.ABC):
  @abc.abstractmethod
  def acquire(self, *, blocking: bool = True) -> bool:
      """Attempt to acquire the necessary tokens for the rate limiter.```
```

The flag `blocking` has been added to the abstraction to allow
supporting streaming (which is easier if blocking=False).

## Limitations

- The rate limiter is not designed to work across different processes.
It is an in-memory rate limiter, but it is thread safe.
- The rate limiter only supports time-based rate limiting. It does not
take into account the size of the request or any other factors.
- The current implementation does not handle streaming inputs well and
will consume all inputs even if the rate limit has been reached. Better
support for streaming inputs will be added in the future.
- When the rate limiter is combined with another runnable via a
RunnableSequence, usage of .batch() or .abatch() will only respect the
average rate limit. There will be bursty behavior as .batch() and
.abatch() wait for each step to complete before starting the next step.
One way to mitigate this is to use batch_as_completed() or
abatch_as_completed().

## Bursty behavior in `batch` and `abatch`

When the rate limiter is combined with another runnable via a
RunnableSequence, usage of .batch() or .abatch() will only respect the
average rate limit. There will be bursty behavior as .batch() and
.abatch() wait for each step to complete before starting the next step.

This becomes a problem if users are using `batch` and `abatch` with many
inputs (e.g., 100). In this case, there will be a burst of 100 inputs
into the batch of the rate limited runnable.

1. Using a RunnableBinding

The API would look like:

```python
from langchain_core.runnables import InMemoryRateLimiter, RunnableLambda

rate_limiter = InMemoryRateLimiter(requests_per_second=0.5)

def meow(x):
    return x

rate_limited_meow = RunnableLambda(meow).with_rate_limiter(rate_limiter)
```

2. Another option is to add some init option to RunnableSequence that
changes `.batch()` to be depth first (e.g., by delegating to
`batch_as_completed`)

```python
RunnableSequence(first=rate_limiter, last=model, how='batch-depth-first')
```

Pros: Does not require Runnable Binding
Cons: Feels over-complicated

+
+**Abstract:** We introduce SELF-DISCOVER, a general framework for LLMs to self-discover the
+task-intrinsic reasoning structures to tackle complex reasoning problems that
+are challenging for typical prompting methods. Core to the framework is a
+self-discovery process where LLMs select multiple atomic reasoning modules such
+as critical thinking and step-by-step thinking, and compose them into an
+explicit reasoning structure for LLMs to follow during decoding. SELF-DISCOVER
+substantially improves GPT-4 and PaLM 2's performance on challenging reasoning
+benchmarks such as BigBench-Hard, grounded agent reasoning, and MATH, by as
+much as 32% compared to Chain of Thought (CoT). Furthermore, SELF-DISCOVER
+outperforms inference-intensive methods such as CoT-Self-Consistency by more
+than 20%, while requiring 10-40x fewer inference compute. Finally, we show that
+the self-discovered reasoning structures are universally applicable across
+model families: from PaLM 2-L to GPT-4, and from GPT-4 to Llama2, and share
+commonalities with human reasoning patterns.

+
+**Abstract:** Retrieval-augmented language models can better adapt to changes in world
+state and incorporate long-tail knowledge. However, most existing methods
+retrieve only short contiguous chunks from a retrieval corpus, limiting
+holistic understanding of the overall document context. We introduce the novel
+approach of recursively embedding, clustering, and summarizing chunks of text,
+constructing a tree with differing levels of summarization from the bottom up.
+At inference time, our RAPTOR model retrieves from this tree, integrating
+information across lengthy documents at different levels of abstraction.
+Controlled experiments show that retrieval with recursive summaries offers
+significant improvements over traditional retrieval-augmented LMs on several
+tasks. On question-answering tasks that involve complex, multi-step reasoning,
+we show state-of-the-art results; for example, by coupling RAPTOR retrieval
+with the use of GPT-4, we can improve the best performance on the QuALITY
+benchmark by 20% in absolute accuracy.

+
+**Abstract:** Large language models (LLMs) inevitably exhibit hallucinations since the
+accuracy of generated texts cannot be secured solely by the parametric
+knowledge they encapsulate. Although retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a
+practicable complement to LLMs, it relies heavily on the relevance of retrieved
+documents, raising concerns about how the model behaves if retrieval goes
+wrong. To this end, we propose the Corrective Retrieval Augmented Generation
+(CRAG) to improve the robustness of generation. Specifically, a lightweight
+retrieval evaluator is designed to assess the overall quality of retrieved
+documents for a query, returning a confidence degree based on which different
+knowledge retrieval actions can be triggered. Since retrieval from static and
+limited corpora can only return sub-optimal documents, large-scale web searches
+are utilized as an extension for augmenting the retrieval results. Besides, a
+decompose-then-recompose algorithm is designed for retrieved documents to
+selectively focus on key information and filter out irrelevant information in
+them. CRAG is plug-and-play and can be seamlessly coupled with various
+RAG-based approaches. Experiments on four datasets covering short- and
+long-form generation tasks show that CRAG can significantly improve the
+performance of RAG-based approaches.

+**Abstract:** We introduce Mixtral 8x7B, a Sparse Mixture of Experts (SMoE) language model.
+Mixtral has the same architecture as Mistral 7B, with the difference that each
+layer is composed of 8 feedforward blocks (i.e. experts). For every token, at
+each layer, a router network selects two experts to process the current state
+and combine their outputs. Even though each token only sees two experts, the
+selected experts can be different at each timestep. As a result, each token has
+access to 47B parameters, but only uses 13B active parameters during inference.
+Mixtral was trained with a context size of 32k tokens and it outperforms or
+matches Llama 2 70B and GPT-3.5 across all evaluated benchmarks. In particular,
+Mixtral vastly outperforms Llama 2 70B on mathematics, code generation, and
+multilingual benchmarks. We also provide a model fine-tuned to follow
+instructions, Mixtral 8x7B - Instruct, that surpasses GPT-3.5 Turbo,
+Claude-2.1, Gemini Pro, and Llama 2 70B - chat model on human benchmarks. Both
+the base and instruct models are released under the Apache 2.0 license.

+
+**Abstract:** Despite their remarkable capabilities, large language models (LLMs) often
+produce responses containing factual inaccuracies due to their sole reliance on
+the parametric knowledge they encapsulate. Retrieval-Augmented Generation
+(RAG), an ad hoc approach that augments LMs with retrieval of relevant
+knowledge, decreases such issues. However, indiscriminately retrieving and
+incorporating a fixed number of retrieved passages, regardless of whether
+retrieval is necessary, or passages are relevant, diminishes LM versatility or
+can lead to unhelpful response generation. We introduce a new framework called
+Self-Reflective Retrieval-Augmented Generation (Self-RAG) that enhances an LM's
+quality and factuality through retrieval and self-reflection. Our framework
+trains a single arbitrary LM that adaptively retrieves passages on-demand, and
+generates and reflects on retrieved passages and its own generations using
+special tokens, called reflection tokens. Generating reflection tokens makes
+the LM controllable during the inference phase, enabling it to tailor its
+behavior to diverse task requirements. Experiments show that Self-RAG (7B and
+13B parameters) significantly outperforms state-of-the-art LLMs and
+retrieval-augmented models on a diverse set of tasks. Specifically, Self-RAG
+outperforms ChatGPT and retrieval-augmented Llama2-chat on Open-domain QA,
+reasoning and fact verification tasks, and it shows significant gains in
+improving factuality and citation accuracy for long-form generations relative
+to these models.

+
+**Abstract:** Large language models (LLMs) have recently been shown to deliver impressive
+performance in various NLP tasks. To tackle multi-step reasoning tasks,
+few-shot chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting includes a few manually crafted
+step-by-step reasoning demonstrations which enable LLMs to explicitly generate
+reasoning steps and improve their reasoning task accuracy. To eliminate the
+manual effort, Zero-shot-CoT concatenates the target problem statement with
+"Let's think step by step" as an input prompt to LLMs. Despite the success of
+Zero-shot-CoT, it still suffers from three pitfalls: calculation errors,
+missing-step errors, and semantic misunderstanding errors. To address the
+missing-step errors, we propose Plan-and-Solve (PS) Prompting. It consists of
+two components: first, devising a plan to divide the entire task into smaller
+subtasks, and then carrying out the subtasks according to the plan. To address
+the calculation errors and improve the quality of generated reasoning steps, we
+extend PS prompting with more detailed instructions and derive PS+ prompting.
+We evaluate our proposed prompting strategy on ten datasets across three
+reasoning problems. The experimental results over GPT-3 show that our proposed
+zero-shot prompting consistently outperforms Zero-shot-CoT across all datasets
+by a large margin, is comparable to or exceeds Zero-shot-Program-of-Thought
+Prompting, and has comparable performance with 8-shot CoT prompting on the math
+reasoning problem. The code can be found at

+but the idea is less explored in the multimodal field. In this paper, we
+present the first attempt to use language-only GPT-4 to generate multimodal

+generated data, we introduce LLaVA: Large Language and Vision Assistant, an
+end-to-end trained large multimodal model that connects a vision encoder and
+LLM for general-purpose visual and language understanding.Our early experiments
+show that LLaVA demonstrates impressive multimodel chat abilities, sometimes
+exhibiting the behaviors of multimodal GPT-4 on unseen images/instructions, and
+yields a 85.1% relative score compared with GPT-4 on a synthetic multimodal
+instruction-following dataset. When fine-tuned on Science QA, the synergy of
+LLaVA and GPT-4 achieves a new state-of-the-art accuracy of 92.53%. We make

+
+**Abstract:** Believable proxies of human behavior can empower interactive applications
+ranging from immersive environments to rehearsal spaces for interpersonal
+communication to prototyping tools. In this paper, we introduce generative
+agents--computational software agents that simulate believable human behavior.
+Generative agents wake up, cook breakfast, and head to work; artists paint,
+while authors write; they form opinions, notice each other, and initiate
+conversations; they remember and reflect on days past as they plan the next
+day. To enable generative agents, we describe an architecture that extends a
+large language model to store a complete record of the agent's experiences
+using natural language, synthesize those memories over time into higher-level
+reflections, and retrieve them dynamically to plan behavior. We instantiate
+generative agents to populate an interactive sandbox environment inspired by
+The Sims, where end users can interact with a small town of twenty five agents
+using natural language. In an evaluation, these generative agents produce
+believable individual and emergent social behaviors: for example, starting with
+only a single user-specified notion that one agent wants to throw a Valentine's
+Day party, the agents autonomously spread invitations to the party over the
+next two days, make new acquaintances, ask each other out on dates to the
+party, and coordinate to show up for the party together at the right time. We
+demonstrate through ablation that the components of our agent
+architecture--observation, planning, and reflection--each contribute critically
+to the believability of agent behavior. By fusing large language models with
+computational, interactive agents, this work introduces architectural and
+interaction patterns for enabling believable simulations of human behavior.

+progress in complex task-solving. However, their success heavily relies on
+human input to guide the conversation, which can be challenging and
+time-consuming. This paper explores the potential of building scalable
+techniques to facilitate autonomous cooperation among communicative agents, and
+provides insight into their "cognitive" processes. To address the challenges of
+achieving autonomous cooperation, we propose a novel communicative agent
+framework named role-playing. Our approach involves using inception prompting
+to guide chat agents toward task completion while maintaining consistency with
+human intentions. We showcase how role-playing can be used to generate
+conversational data for studying the behaviors and capabilities of a society of
+agents, providing a valuable resource for investigating conversational language
+models. In particular, we conduct comprehensive studies on
+instruction-following cooperation in multi-agent settings. Our contributions
+include introducing a novel communicative agent framework, offering a scalable
+approach for studying the cooperative behaviors and capabilities of multi-agent
+systems, and open-sourcing our library to support research on communicative

+**Abstract:** While large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities
+across tasks in language understanding and interactive decision making, their
+abilities for reasoning (e.g. chain-of-thought prompting) and acting (e.g.
+action plan generation) have primarily been studied as separate topics. In this
+paper, we explore the use of LLMs to generate both reasoning traces and
+task-specific actions in an interleaved manner, allowing for greater synergy
+between the two: reasoning traces help the model induce, track, and update
+action plans as well as handle exceptions, while actions allow it to interface
+with external sources, such as knowledge bases or environments, to gather
+additional information. We apply our approach, named ReAct, to a diverse set of
+language and decision making tasks and demonstrate its effectiveness over
+state-of-the-art baselines, as well as improved human interpretability and
+trustworthiness over methods without reasoning or acting components.
+Concretely, on question answering (HotpotQA) and fact verification (Fever),
+ReAct overcomes issues of hallucination and error propagation prevalent in
+chain-of-thought reasoning by interacting with a simple Wikipedia API, and
+generates human-like task-solving trajectories that are more interpretable than
+baselines without reasoning traces. On two interactive decision making
+benchmarks (ALFWorld and WebShop), ReAct outperforms imitation and
+reinforcement learning methods by an absolute success rate of 34% and 10%
+respectively, while being prompted with only one or two in-context examples.

 ## LangChain Expression Language (LCEL)
+<span data-heading-keywords="lcel"></span>
 
 LangChain Expression Language, or LCEL, is a declarative way to chain LangChain components.
 LCEL was designed from day 1 to **support putting prototypes in production, with no code changes**, from the simplest “prompt + LLM” chain to the most complex chains (we’ve seen folks successfully run LCEL chains with 100s of steps in production). To highlight a few of the reasons you might want to use LCEL:

 As your chains get more and more complex, it becomes increasingly important to understand what exactly is happening at every step.
 With LCEL, **all** steps are automatically logged to [LangSmith](https://docs.smith.langchain.com/) for maximum observability and debuggability.

 ### Runnable interface
+<span data-heading-keywords="invoke,runnable"></span>
 
 To make it as easy as possible to create custom chains, we've implemented a ["Runnable"](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/stable/runnables/langchain_core.runnables.base.Runnable.html#langchain_core.runnables.base.Runnable) protocol. Many LangChain components implement the `Runnable` protocol, including chat models, LLMs, output parsers, retrievers, prompt templates, and more. There are also several useful primitives for working with runnables, which you can read about below.
 
 This is a standard interface, which makes it easy to define custom chains as well as invoke them in a standard way.
 The standard interface includes:
 
-- [`stream`](#stream): stream back chunks of the response
-- [`invoke`](#invoke): call the chain on an input
-- [`batch`](#batch): call the chain on a list of inputs
+- `stream`: stream back chunks of the response
+- `invoke`: call the chain on an input
+- `batch`: call the chain on a list of inputs

+
+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.

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.
+

 ### Tools

-Tools are interfaces that an agent, a chain, or a chat model / LLM can use to interact with the world.
+Tools are utilities designed to be called by a model: their inputs are designed to be generated by models, and their outputs are designed to be passed back to models.
+Tools are needed whenever you want a model to control parts of your code or call out to external APIs.
 
-A tool consists of the following components:
+A tool consists of:
 
-1. The name of the tool
-2. A description of what the tool does
-3. JSON schema of what the inputs to the tool are
-4. The function to call
-5. Whether the result of a tool should be returned directly to the user (only relevant for agents)
+1. The name of the tool.
+2. A description of what the tool does.
+3. A JSON schema defining the inputs to the tool.
+4. A function (and, optionally, an async variant of the function).
 
-The name, description and JSON schema are provided as context
-to the LLM, allowing the LLM to determine how to use the tool
-appropriately.
+When a tool is bound to a model, the name, description and JSON schema are provided as context to the model.
+Given a list of tools and a set of instructions, a model can request to call one or more tools with specific inputs.
+Typical usage may look like the following:
 
-Given a list of available tools and a prompt, an LLM can request
-that one or more tools be invoked with appropriate arguments.
+```python
+tools = [...] # Define a list of tools
+llm_with_tools = llm.bind_tools(tools)
+ai_msg = llm_with_tools.invoke("do xyz...")  # AIMessage(tool_calls=[ToolCall(...), ...], ...)
+```
 
-Generally, when designing tools to be used by a chat model or LLM, it is important to keep in mind the following:
+The `AIMessage` returned from the model MAY have `tool_calls` associated with it.
+Read [this guide](/docs/concepts/#aimessage) for more information on what the response type may look like.
 
-- Chat models that have been fine-tuned for tool calling will be better at tool calling than non-fine-tuned models.
-- Non fine-tuned models may not be able to use tools at all, especially if the tools are complex or require multiple tool calls.
-- Models will perform better if the tools have well-chosen names, descriptions, and JSON schemas.
-- Simpler tools are generally easier for models to use than more complex tools.
+Once the chosen tools are invoked, the results can be passed back to the model so that it can complete whatever task
+it's performing.
+There are generally two different ways to invoke the tool and pass back the response:
+
+#### Invoke with just the arguments
+
+When you invoke a tool with just the arguments, you will get back the raw tool output (usually a string).
+This generally looks like:
+
+```python
+# You will want to previously check that the LLM returned tool calls
+tool_call = ai_msg.tool_calls[0]  # ToolCall(args={...}, id=..., ...)
+tool_output = tool.invoke(tool_call["args"])
+tool_message = ToolMessage(content=tool_output, tool_call_id=tool_call["id"], name=tool_call["name"])
+```
+
+Note that the `content` field will generally be passed back to the model.
+If you do not want the raw tool response to be passed to the model, but you still want to keep it around,
+you can transform the tool output but also pass it as an artifact (read more about [`ToolMessage.artifact` here](/docs/concepts/#toolmessage))
+
+```python
+... # Same code as above
+response_for_llm = transform(response)
+tool_message = ToolMessage(content=response_for_llm, tool_call_id=tool_call["id"], name=tool_call["name"], artifact=tool_output)
+```
+
+#### Invoke with `ToolCall`
+
+The other way to invoke a tool is to call it with the full `ToolCall` that was generated by the model.
+When you do this, the tool will return a ToolMessage.
+The benefits of this are that you don't have to write the logic yourself to transform the tool output into a ToolMessage.
+This generally looks like:
+
+```python
+tool_call = ai_msg.tool_calls[0]  # ToolCall(args={...}, id=..., ...)
+tool_message = tool.invoke(tool_call)
+# -> ToolMessage(content="tool result foobar...", tool_call_id=..., name="tool_name")
+```
+
+If you are invoking the tool this way and want to include an [artifact](/docs/concepts/#toolmessage) for the ToolMessage, you will need to have the tool return two things.
+Read more about [defining tools that return artifacts here](/docs/how_to/tool_artifacts/).
+
+#### Best practices
+
+When designing tools to be used by a model, it is important to keep in mind that:
+
+- Chat models that have explicit [tool-calling APIs](/docs/concepts/#functiontool-calling) will be better at tool calling than non-fine-tuned models.
+- Models will perform better if the tools have well-chosen names, descriptions, and JSON schemas. This another form of prompt engineering.
+- Simple, narrowly scoped tools are easier for models to use than complex tools.

+### Streaming
+<span data-heading-keywords="stream,streaming"></span>
+
+Individual LLM calls often run for much longer than traditional resource requests.
+This compounds when you build more complex chains or agents that require multiple reasoning steps.
+
+Fortunately, LLMs generate output iteratively, which means it's possible to show sensible intermediate results
+before the final response is ready. Consuming output as soon as it becomes available has therefore become a vital part of the UX
+around building apps with LLMs to help alleviate latency issues, and LangChain aims to have first-class support for streaming.
+
+Below, we'll discuss some concepts and considerations around streaming in LangChain.
+
+#### `.stream()` and `.astream()`
+
+Most modules in LangChain include the `.stream()` method (and the equivalent `.astream()` method for [async](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html) environments) as an ergonomic streaming interface.
+`.stream()` returns an iterator, which you can consume with a simple `for` loop. Here's an example with a chat model:
+
+```python
+from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
+
+model = ChatAnthropic(model="claude-3-sonnet-20240229")
+
+for chunk in model.stream("what color is the sky?"):
+    print(chunk.content, end="|", flush=True)
+```
+
+For models (or other components) that don't support streaming natively, this iterator would just yield a single chunk, but
+you could still use the same general pattern when calling them. Using `.stream()` will also automatically call the model in streaming mode
+without the need to provide additional config.
+
+The type of each outputted chunk depends on the type of component - for example, chat models yield [`AIMessageChunks`](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/latest/messages/langchain_core.messages.ai.AIMessageChunk.html).
+Because this method is part of [LangChain Expression Language](/docs/concepts/#langchain-expression-language-lcel),
+you can handle formatting differences from different outputs using an [output parser](/docs/concepts/#output-parsers) to transform
+each yielded chunk.
+
+You can check out [this guide](/docs/how_to/streaming/#using-stream) for more detail on how to use `.stream()`.
+
+#### `.astream_events()`
+<span data-heading-keywords="astream_events,stream_events,stream events"></span>
+
+While the `.stream()` method is intuitive, it can only return the final generated value of your chain. This is fine for single LLM calls,
+but as you build more complex chains of several LLM calls together, you may want to use the intermediate values of
+the chain alongside the final output - for example, returning sources alongside the final generation when building a chat
+over documents app.
+
+There are ways to do this [using callbacks](/docs/concepts/#callbacks-1), or by constructing your chain in such a way that it passes intermediate
+values to the end with something like chained [`.assign()`](/docs/how_to/passthrough/) calls, but LangChain also includes an
+`.astream_events()` method that combines the flexibility of callbacks with the ergonomics of `.stream()`. When called, it returns an iterator
+which yields [various types of events](/docs/how_to/streaming/#event-reference) that you can filter and process according
+to the needs of your project.
+
+Here's one small example that prints just events containing streamed chat model output:
+
+```python
+from langchain_core.output_parsers import StrOutputParser
+from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
+from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
+
+model = ChatAnthropic(model="claude-3-sonnet-20240229")
+
+prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template("tell me a joke about {topic}")
+parser = StrOutputParser()
+chain = prompt | model | parser
+
+async for event in chain.astream_events({"topic": "parrot"}, version="v2"):
+    kind = event["event"]
+    if kind == "on_chat_model_stream":
+        print(event, end="|", flush=True)
+```
+
+You can roughly think of it as an iterator over callback events (though the format differs) - and you can use it on almost all LangChain components!
+
+See [this guide](/docs/how_to/streaming/#using-stream-events) for more detailed information on how to use `.astream_events()`,
+including a table listing available events.
+
+#### Callbacks
+
+The lowest level way to stream outputs from LLMs in LangChain is via the [callbacks](/docs/concepts/#callbacks) system. You can pass a
+callback handler that handles the [`on_llm_new_token`](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/latest/callbacks/langchain.callbacks.streaming_aiter.AsyncIteratorCallbackHandler.html#langchain.callbacks.streaming_aiter.AsyncIteratorCallbackHandler.on_llm_new_token) event into LangChain components. When that component is invoked, any
+[LLM](/docs/concepts/#llms) or [chat model](/docs/concepts/#chat-models) contained in the component calls
+the callback with the generated token. Within the callback, you could pipe the tokens into some other destination, e.g. a HTTP response.
+You can also handle the [`on_llm_end`](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/latest/callbacks/langchain.callbacks.streaming_aiter.AsyncIteratorCallbackHandler.html#langchain.callbacks.streaming_aiter.AsyncIteratorCallbackHandler.on_llm_end) event to perform any necessary cleanup.
+
+You can see [this how-to section](/docs/how_to/#callbacks) for more specifics on using callbacks.
+
+Callbacks were the first technique for streaming introduced in LangChain. While powerful and generalizable,
+they can be unwieldy for developers. For example:
+
+- You need to explicitly initialize and manage some aggregator or other stream to collect results.
+- The execution order isn't explicitly guaranteed, and you could theoretically have a callback run after the `.invoke()` method finishes.
+- Providers would often make you pass an additional parameter to stream outputs instead of returning them all at once.
+- You would often ignore the result of the actual model call in favor of callback results.
+
+#### Tokens
+
+The unit that most model providers use to measure input and output is via a unit called a **token**.
+Tokens are the basic units that language models read and generate when processing or producing text.
+The exact definition of a token can vary depending on the specific way the model was trained -
+for instance, in English, a token could be a single word like "apple", or a part of a word like "app".
+
+When you send a model a prompt, the words and characters in the prompt are encoded into tokens using a **tokenizer**.
+The model then streams back generated output tokens, which the tokenizer decodes into human-readable text.
+The below example shows how OpenAI models tokenize `LangChain is cool!`:
+
+![](/img/tokenization.png)
+
+You can see that it gets split into 5 different tokens, and that the boundaries between tokens are not exactly the same as word boundaries.
+
+The reason language models use tokens rather than something more immediately intuitive like "characters"
+has to do with how they process and understand text. At a high-level, language models iteratively predict their next generated output based on
+the initial input and their previous generations. Training the model using tokens language models to handle linguistic
+units (like words or subwords) that carry meaning, rather than individual characters, which makes it easier for the model
+to learn and understand the structure of the language, including grammar and context.
+Furthermore, using tokens can also improve efficiency, since the model processes fewer units of text compared to character-level processing.
+
+### Structured output
+
+LLMs are capable of generating arbitrary text. This enables the model to respond appropriately to a wide
+range of inputs, but for some use-cases, it can be useful to constrain the LLM's output
+to a specific format or structure. This is referred to as **structured output**.
+
+For example, if the output is to be stored in a relational database,
+it is much easier if the model generates output that adheres to a defined schema or format.
+[Extracting specific information](/docs/tutorials/extraction/) from unstructured text is another
+case where this is particularly useful. Most commonly, the output format will be JSON,
+though other formats such as [YAML](/docs/how_to/output_parser_yaml/) can be useful too. Below, we'll discuss
+a few ways to get structured output from models in LangChain.
+
+#### `.with_structured_output()`
+
+For convenience, some LangChain chat models support a [`.with_structured_output()`](/docs/how_to/structured_output/#the-with_structured_output-method)
+method. This method only requires a schema as input, and returns a dict or Pydantic object.
+Generally, this method is only present on models that support one of the more advanced methods described below,
+and will use one of them under the hood. It takes care of importing a suitable output parser and
+formatting the schema in the right format for the model.
+
+Here's an example:
+
+```python
+from typing import Optional
+
+from langchain_core.pydantic_v1 import BaseModel, Field
+
+
+class Joke(BaseModel):
+    """Joke to tell user."""
+
+    setup: str = Field(description="The setup of the joke")
+    punchline: str = Field(description="The punchline to the joke")
+    rating: Optional[int] = Field(description="How funny the joke is, from 1 to 10")
+
+structured_llm = llm.with_structured_output(Joke)
+
+structured_llm.invoke("Tell me a joke about cats")
+```
+
+```
+Joke(setup='Why was the cat sitting on the computer?', punchline='To keep an eye on the mouse!', rating=None)
+
+```
+
+We recommend this method as a starting point when working with structured output:
+
+- It uses other model-specific features under the hood, without the need to import an output parser.
+- For the models that use tool calling, no special prompting is needed.
+- If multiple underlying techniques are supported, you can supply a `method` parameter to
+[toggle which one is used](/docs/how_to/structured_output/#advanced-specifying-the-method-for-structuring-outputs).
+
+You may want or need to use other techniques if:
+
+- The chat model you are using does not support tool calling.
+- You are working with very complex schemas and the model is having trouble generating outputs that conform.
+
+For more information, check out this [how-to guide](/docs/how_to/structured_output/#the-with_structured_output-method).
+
+You can also check out [this table](/docs/integrations/chat/#advanced-features) for a list of models that support
+`with_structured_output()`.
+
+#### Raw prompting
+
+The most intuitive way to get a model to structure output is to ask nicely.
+In addition to your query, you can give instructions describing what kind of output you'd like, then
+parse the output using an [output parser](/docs/concepts/#output-parsers) to convert the raw
+model message or string output into something more easily manipulated.
+
+The biggest benefit to raw prompting is its flexibility:
+
+- Raw prompting does not require any special model features, only sufficient reasoning capability to understand
+the passed schema.
+- You can prompt for any format you'd like, not just JSON. This can be useful if the model you
+are using is more heavily trained on a certain type of data, such as XML or YAML.
+
+However, there are some drawbacks too:
+
+- LLMs are non-deterministic, and prompting a LLM to consistently output data in the exactly correct format
+for smooth parsing can be surprisingly difficult and model-specific.
+- Individual models have quirks depending on the data they were trained on, and optimizing prompts can be quite difficult.
+Some may be better at interpreting [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/), others may be best with TypeScript definitions,
+and still others may prefer XML.
+
+While features offered by model providers may increase reliability, prompting techniques remain important for tuning your
+results no matter which method you choose.
+
+#### JSON mode
+<span data-heading-keywords="json mode"></span>
+
+Some models, such as [Mistral](/docs/integrations/chat/mistralai/), [OpenAI](/docs/integrations/chat/openai/),
+[Together AI](/docs/integrations/chat/together/) and [Ollama](/docs/integrations/chat/ollama/),
+support a feature called **JSON mode**, usually enabled via config.
+
+When enabled, JSON mode will constrain the model's output to always be some sort of valid JSON.
+Often they require some custom prompting, but it's usually much less burdensome than completely raw prompting and
+more along the lines of, `"you must always return JSON"`. The [output also generally easier to parse](/docs/how_to/output_parser_json/).
+
+It's also generally simpler to use directly and more commonly available than tool calling, and can give
+more flexibility around prompting and shaping results than tool calling.
+
+Here's an example:
+
+```python
+from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
+from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
+from langchain.output_parsers.json import SimpleJsonOutputParser
+
+model = ChatOpenAI(
+    model="gpt-4o",
+    model_kwargs={ "response_format": { "type": "json_object" } },
+)
+
+prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
+    "Answer the user's question to the best of your ability."
+    'You must always output a JSON object with an "answer" key and a "followup_question" key.'
+    "{question}"
+)
+
+chain = prompt | model | SimpleJsonOutputParser()
+
+chain.invoke({ "question": "What is the powerhouse of the cell?" })
+```
+
+```
+{'answer': 'The powerhouse of the cell is the mitochondrion. It is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.',
+ 'followup_question': 'Would you like to know more about how mitochondria produce energy?'}
+```

 ### Retrieval
 
-LangChain provides several advanced retrieval types. A full list is below, along with the following information:
+LLMs are trained on a large but fixed dataset, limiting their ability to reason over private or recent information. Fine-tuning an LLM with specific facts is one way to mitigate this, but is often [poorly suited for factual recall](https://www.anyscale.com/blog/fine-tuning-is-for-form-not-facts) and [can be costly](https://www.glean.com/blog/how-to-build-an-ai-assistant-for-the-enterprise). 
+Retrieval is the process of providing relevant information to an LLM to improve its response for a given input. Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is the process of grounding the LLM generation (output) using the retrieved information.

+
+#### Query Translation
+
+First, consider the user input(s) to your RAG system. Ideally, a RAG system can handle a wide range of inputs, from poorly worded questions to complex multi-part queries.
+**Using an LLM to review and optionally modify the input is the central idea behind query translation.** This serves as a general buffer, optimizing raw user inputs for your retrieval system. 
+For example, this can be as simple as extracting keywords or as complex as generating multiple sub-questions for a complex query.
+
+| Name          | When to use | Description |
+|---------------|-------------|-------------|
+| [Multi-query](/docs/how_to/MultiQueryRetriever/)   | When you need to cover multiple perspectives of a question. | Rewrite the user question from multiple perspectives, retrieve documents for each rewritten question, return the unique documents for all queries. |
+| [Decomposition](https://github.com/langchain-ai/rag-from-scratch/blob/main/rag_from_scratch_5_to_9.ipynb) | When a question can be broken down into smaller subproblems. | Decompose a question into a set of subproblems / questions, which can either be solved sequentially (use the answer from first + retrieval to answer the second) or in parallel (consolidate each answer into final answer). |
+| [Step-back](https://github.com/langchain-ai/rag-from-scratch/blob/main/rag_from_scratch_5_to_9.ipynb)     | When a higher-level conceptual understanding is required. | First prompt the LLM to ask a generic step-back question about higher-level concepts or principles, and retrieve relevant facts about them. Use this grounding to help answer the user question. |
+| [HyDE](https://github.com/langchain-ai/rag-from-scratch/blob/main/rag_from_scratch_5_to_9.ipynb)          | If you have challenges retrieving relevant documents using the raw user inputs. | Use an LLM to convert questions into hypothetical documents that answer the question. Use the embedded hypothetical documents to retrieve real documents with the premise that doc-doc similarity search can produce more relevant matches. |

+
+:::
+
+#### Routing
+
+Second, consider the data sources available to your RAG system. You want to query across more than one database or across structured and unstructured data sources. **Using an LLM to review the input and route it to the appropriate data source is a simple and effective approach for querying across sources.**
+
+| Name             | When to use                                | Description |

+| [Logical routing](/docs/how_to/routing/)  | When you can prompt an LLM with rules to decide where to route the input. | Logical routing can use an LLM to reason about the query and choose which datastore is most appropriate. |
+| [Semantic routing](/docs/how_to/routing/#routing-by-semantic-similarity) | When semantic similarity is an effective way to determine where to route the input. | Semantic routing embeds both query and, typically a set of prompts. It then chooses the appropriate prompt based upon similarity. |

+See our RAG from Scratch video on [routing](https://youtu.be/pfpIndq7Fi8?feature=shared).  
+
+:::
+
+#### Query Construction
+
+Third, consider whether any of your data sources require specific query formats. Many structured databases use SQL. Vector stores often have specific syntax for applying keyword filters to document metadata. **Using an LLM to convert a natural language query into a query syntax is a popular and powerful approach.**
+In particular, [text-to-SQL](/docs/tutorials/sql_qa/), [text-to-Cypher](/docs/tutorials/graph/), and [query analysis for metadata filters](/docs/tutorials/query_analysis/#query-analysis) are useful ways to interact with structured, graph, and vector databases respectively.

This is useful because oftentimes questions are about the METADATA of documents (not the content itself).                                              |

This converts user questions into structured queries. 
+
+:::
+
+#### Indexing
+
+Fourth, consider the design of your document index. A simple and powerful idea is to **decouple the documents that you index for retrieval from the documents that you pass to the LLM for generation.** Indexing frequently uses embedding models with vector stores, which [compress the semantic information in documents to fixed-size vectors](/docs/concepts/#embedding-models).
+
+Many RAG approaches focus on splitting documents into chunks and retrieving some number based on similarity to an input question for the LLM. But chunk size and chunk number can be difficult to set and affect results if they do not provide full context for the LLM to answer a question. Furthermore, LLMs are increasingly capable of processing millions of tokens. 
+
+Two approaches can address this tension: (1) [Multi Vector](/docs/how_to/multi_vector/) retriever using an LLM to translate documents into any form (e.g., often into a summary) that is well-suited for indexing, but returns full documents to the LLM for generation. (2) [ParentDocument](/docs/how_to/parent_document_retriever/) retriever embeds document chunks, but also returns full documents. The idea is to get the best of both worlds: use concise representations (summaries or chunks) for retrieval, but use the full documents for answer generation.

+Fifth, consider ways to improve the quality of your similarity search itself. Embedding models compress text into fixed-length (vector) representations that capture the semantic content of the document. This compression is useful for search / retrieval, but puts a heavy burden on that single vector representation to capture the semantic nuance / detail of the document. In some cases, irrelevant or redundant content can dilute the semantic usefulness of the embedding.
+
+[ColBERT](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IRhAdGjIevrrotdplHNcc4aXgIYyKamUKTWtB3m3aMU/edit?usp=sharing) is an interesting approach to address this with a higher granularity embeddings: (1) produce a contextually influenced embedding for each token in the document and query, (2) score similarity between each query token and all document tokens, (3) take the max, (4) do this for all query tokens, and (5) take the sum of the max scores (in step 3) for all query tokens to get a query-document similarity score; this token-wise scoring can yield strong results. 
+
+![](/img/colbert.png)
+
+There are some additional tricks to improve the quality of your retrieval. Embeddings excel at capturing semantic information, but may struggle with keyword-based queries. Many [vector stores](/docs/integrations/retrievers/pinecone_hybrid_search/) offer built-in [hybrid-search](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/understanding-hybrid-search) to combine keyword and semantic similarity, which marries the benefits of both approaches. Furthermore, many vector stores have [maximal marginal relevance](https://python.langchain.com/v0.1/docs/modules/model_io/prompts/example_selectors/mmr/), which attempts to diversify the results of a search to avoid returning similar and redundant documents.

+#### Generation
+
+**Finally, consider ways to build self-correction into your RAG system.** RAG systems can suffer from low quality retrieval (e.g., if a user question is out of the domain for the index) and / or hallucinations in generation. A naive retrieve-generate pipeline has no ability to detect or self-correct from these kinds of errors. The concept of ["flow engineering"](https://x.com/karpathy/status/1748043513156272416) has been introduced [in the context of code generation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.08500): iteratively build an answer to a code question with unit tests to check and self-correct errors. Several works have applied this RAG, such as Self-RAG and Corrective-RAG. In both cases, checks for document relevance, hallucinations, and / or answer quality are performed in the RAG answer generation flow.
+
+We've found that graphs are a great way to reliably express logical flows and have implemented ideas from several of these papers [using LangGraph](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/tree/main/examples/rag), as shown in the figure below (red - routing, blue - fallback, green - self-correction):
+- **Routing:** Adaptive RAG ([paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.14403)). Route questions to different retrieval approaches, as discussed above 
+- **Fallback:** Corrective RAG ([paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.15884.pdf)). Fallback to web search if docs are not relevant to query
+- **Self-correction:** Self-RAG ([paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.11511)). Fix answers w/ hallucinations or don’t address question

+### Evaluation
+<span data-heading-keywords="evaluation,evaluate"></span>
+
+Evaluation is the process of assessing the performance and effectiveness of your LLM-powered applications.
+It involves testing the model's responses against a set of predefined criteria or benchmarks to ensure it meets the desired quality standards and fulfills the intended purpose.
+This process is vital for building reliable applications.
+
+![](/img/langsmith_evaluate.png)
+
+[LangSmith](https://docs.smith.langchain.com/) helps with this process in a few ways:
+
+- It makes it easier to create and curate datasets via its tracing and annotation features
+- It provides an evaluation framework that helps you define metrics and run your app against your dataset
+- It allows you to track results over time and automatically run your evaluators on a schedule or as part of CI/Code
+
+To learn more, check out [this LangSmith guide](https://docs.smith.langchain.com/concepts/evaluation).
+
+### Tracing
+<span data-heading-keywords="trace,tracing"></span>
+
+A trace is essentially a series of steps that your application takes to go from input to output.
+Traces contain individual steps called `runs`. These can be individual calls from a model, retriever,
+tool, or sub-chains.
+Tracing gives you observability inside your chains and agents, and is vital in diagnosing issues.
+
+For a deeper dive, check out [this LangSmith conceptual guide](https://docs.smith.langchain.com/concepts/tracing).

+# General guidelines
+
+Here are some things to keep in mind for all types of contributions:
+
+- Follow the ["fork and pull request"](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/exploring-projects-on-github/contributing-to-a-project) workflow.
+- Fill out the checked-in pull request template when opening pull requests. Note related issues and tag relevant maintainers.
+- Ensure your PR passes formatting, linting, and testing checks before requesting a review.
+  - If you would like comments or feedback on your current progress, please open an issue or discussion and tag a maintainer.
+  - See the sections on [Testing](/docs/contributing/code/setup#testing) and [Formatting and Linting](/docs/contributing/code/setup#formatting-and-linting) for how to run these checks locally.
+- Backwards compatibility is key. Your changes must not be breaking, except in case of critical bug and security fixes.
+- Look for duplicate PRs or issues that have already been opened before opening a new one.
+- Keep scope as isolated as possible. As a general rule, your changes should not affect more than one package at a time.
+
+## Bugfixes
+
+We encourage and appreciate bugfixes. We ask that you:
+
+- Explain the bug in enough detail for maintainers to be able to reproduce it.
+  - If an accompanying issue exists, link to it. Prefix with `Fixes` so that the issue will close automatically when the PR is merged.
+- Avoid breaking changes if possible.
+- Include unit tests that fail without the bugfix.
+
+If you come across a bug and don't know how to fix it, we ask that you open an issue for it describing in detail the environment in which you encountered the bug.
+
+## New features
+
+We aim to keep the bar high for new features. We generally don't accept new core abstractions, changes to infra, changes to dependencies,
+or new agents/chains from outside contributors without an existing GitHub discussion or issue that demonstrates an acute need for them.
+
+- New features must come with docs, unit tests, and (if appropriate) integration tests.
+- New integrations must come with docs, unit tests, and (if appropriate) integration tests.
+  - See [this page](/docs/contributing/integrations) for more details on contributing new integrations.
+- New functionality should not inherit from or use deprecated methods or classes.
+- We will reject features that are likely to lead to security vulnerabilities or reports.
+- Do not add any hard dependencies. Integrations may add optional dependencies.

 ## Philosophy
 
-LangChain's documentation aspires to follow the [Diataxis framework](https://diataxis.fr).
-Under this framework, all documentation falls under one of four categories:
+LangChain's documentation follows the [Diataxis framework](https://diataxis.fr).
+Under this framework, all documentation falls under one of four categories: [Tutorials](/docs/contributing/documentation/style_guide/#tutorials),
+[How-to guides](/docs/contributing/documentation/style_guide/#how-to-guides),
+[References](/docs/contributing/documentation/style_guide/#references), and [Explanations](/docs/contributing/documentation/style_guide/#conceptual-guide).
 
-- **Tutorials**: Lessons that take the reader by the hand through a series of conceptual steps to complete a project.
-  - An example of this is our [LCEL streaming guide](/docs/how_to/streaming).
-  - Our guides on [custom components](/docs/how_to/custom_chat_model) is another one.
-- **How-to guides**: Guides that take the reader through the steps required to solve a real-world problem.
-  - The clearest examples of this are our [Use case](/docs/how_to#use-cases) quickstart pages.
-- **Reference**: Technical descriptions of the machinery and how to operate it.
-  - Our [Runnable interface](/docs/concepts#interface) page is an example of this.
-  - The [API reference pages](https://api.python.langchain.com/) are another.
-- **Explanation**: Explanations that clarify and illuminate a particular topic.
-  - The [LCEL primitives pages](/docs/how_to/sequence) are an example of this.
+### Tutorials
+
+Tutorials are lessons that take the reader through a practical activity. Their purpose is to help the user
+gain understanding of concepts and how they interact by showing one way to achieve some goal in a hands-on way. They should **avoid** giving
+multiple permutations of ways to achieve that goal in-depth. Instead, it should guide a new user through a recommended path to accomplishing the tutorial's goal. While the end result of a tutorial does not necessarily need to
+be completely production-ready, it should be useful and practically satisfy the the goal that you clearly stated in the tutorial's introduction. Information on how to address additional scenarios
+belongs in how-to guides.
+
+To quote the Diataxis website:
+
+> A tutorial serves the user’s *acquisition* of skills and knowledge - their study. Its purpose is not to help the user get something done, but to help them learn.
+
+In LangChain, these are often higher level guides that show off end-to-end use cases.
+
+Some examples include:
+
+- [Build a Simple LLM Application with LCEL](/docs/tutorials/llm_chain/)
+- [Build a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) App](/docs/tutorials/rag/)
+
+A good structural rule of thumb is to follow the structure of this [example from Numpy](https://numpy.org/numpy-tutorials/content/tutorial-svd.html).
+  
+Here are some high-level tips on writing a good tutorial:
+
+- Focus on guiding the user to get something done, but keep in mind the end-goal is more to impart principles than to create a perfect production system.
+- Be specific, not abstract and follow one path.
+  - No need to go deeply into alternative approaches, but it’s ok to reference them, ideally with a link to an appropriate how-to guide.
+- Get "a point on the board" as soon as possible - something the user can run that outputs something.
+  - You can iterate and expand afterwards.
+  - Try to frequently checkpoint at given steps where the user can run code and see progress.
+- Focus on results, not technical explanation.
+  - Crosslink heavily to appropriate conceptual/reference pages.
+- The first time you mention a LangChain concept, use its full name (e.g. "LangChain Expression Language (LCEL)"), and link to its conceptual/other documentation page.
+  - It's also helpful to add a prerequisite callout that links to any pages with necessary background information.
+- End with a recap/next steps section summarizing what the tutorial covered and future reading, such as related how-to guides.
+  
+### How-to guides
+
+A how-to guide, as the name implies, demonstrates how to do something discrete and specific.
+It should assume that the user is already familiar with underlying concepts, and is trying to solve an immediate problem, but
+should still give some background or list the scenarios where the information contained within can be relevant.
+They can and should discuss alternatives if one approach may be better than another in certain cases.
+
+To quote the Diataxis website:
+
+> A how-to guide serves the work of the already-competent user, whom you can assume to know what they want to do, and to be able to follow your instructions correctly.
+
+Some examples include:
+
+- [How to: return structured data from a model](/docs/how_to/structured_output/)
+- [How to: write a custom chat model](/docs/how_to/custom_chat_model/)
+
+Here are some high-level tips on writing a good how-to guide:
+
+- Clearly explain what you are guiding the user through at the start.
+- Assume higher intent than a tutorial and show what the user needs to do to get that task done.
+- Assume familiarity of concepts, but explain why suggested actions are helpful.
+  - Crosslink heavily to conceptual/reference pages.
+- Discuss alternatives and responses to real-world tradeoffs that may arise when solving a problem.
+- Use lots of example code.
+  - Prefer full code blocks that the reader can copy and run.
+- End with a recap/next steps section summarizing what the tutorial covered and future reading, such as other related how-to guides.
+
+### Conceptual guide
+
+LangChain's conceptual guide falls under the **Explanation** quadrant of Diataxis. They should cover LangChain terms and concepts
+in a more abstract way than how-to guides or tutorials, and should be geared towards curious users interested in
+gaining a deeper understanding of the framework. Try to avoid excessively large code examples - the goal here is to
+impart perspective to the user rather than to finish a practical project. These guides should cover **why** things work they way they do.
+
+This guide on documentation style is meant to fall under this category.
+
+To quote the Diataxis website:
+
+> The perspective of explanation is higher and wider than that of the other types. It does not take the user’s eye-level view, as in a how-to guide, or a close-up view of the machinery, like reference material. Its scope in each case is a topic - “an area of knowledge”, that somehow has to be bounded in a reasonable, meaningful way.
+
+Some examples include:
+
+- [Retrieval conceptual docs](/docs/concepts/#retrieval)
+- [Chat model conceptual docs](/docs/concepts/#chat-models)
+
+Here are some high-level tips on writing a good conceptual guide:
+
+- Explain design decisions. Why does concept X exist and why was it designed this way?
+- Use analogies and reference other concepts and alternatives
+- Avoid blending in too much reference content
+- You can and should reference content covered in other guides, but make sure to link to them
+
+### References
+
+References contain detailed, low-level information that describes exactly what functionality exists and how to use it.
+In LangChain, this is mainly our API reference pages, which are populated from docstrings within code.
+References pages are generally not read end-to-end, but are consulted as necessary when a user needs to know
+how to use something specific.
+
+To quote the Diataxis website:
+
+> The only purpose of a reference guide is to describe, as succinctly as possible, and in an orderly way. Whereas the content of tutorials and how-to guides are led by needs of the user, reference material is led by the product it describes.
+
+Many of the reference pages in LangChain are automatically generated from code,
+but here are some high-level tips on writing a good docstring:
+
+- Be concise
+- Discuss special cases and deviations from a user's expectations
+- Go into detail on required inputs and outputs
+- Light details on when one might use the feature are fine, but in-depth details belong in other sections.
 
 Each category serves a distinct purpose and requires a specific approach to writing and structuring the content.
 
-## Taxonomy
-
-Keeping the above in mind, we have sorted LangChain's docs into categories. It is helpful to think in these terms
-when contributing new documentation:
-
-### Getting started
-
-The [getting started section](/docs/introduction) includes a high-level introduction to LangChain, a quickstart that
-tours LangChain's various features, and logistical instructions around installation and project setup.
-
-It contains elements of **How-to guides** and **Explanations**.
-
-### Use cases
-
-[Use cases](/docs/how_to#use-cases) are guides that are meant to show how to use LangChain to accomplish a specific task (RAG, information extraction, etc.).
-The quickstarts should be good entrypoints for first-time LangChain developers who prefer to learn by getting something practical prototyped,
-then taking the pieces apart retrospectively. These should mirror what LangChain is good at.
-
-The quickstart pages here should fit the **How-to guide** category, with the other pages intended to be **Explanations** of more
-in-depth concepts and strategies that accompany the main happy paths.
-
-:::note
-The below sections are listed roughly in order of increasing level of abstraction.
-:::
-
-### Expression Language
-
-[LangChain Expression Language (LCEL)](/docs/concepts#langchain-expression-language) is the fundamental way that most LangChain components fit together, and this section is designed to teach
-developers how to use it to build with LangChain's primitives effectively.
-
-This section should contains **Tutorials** that teach how to stream and use LCEL primitives for more abstract tasks, **Explanations** of specific behaviors,
-and some **References** for how to use different methods in the Runnable interface.
-
-### Components
-
-The [components section](/docs/concepts) covers concepts one level of abstraction higher than LCEL.
-Abstract base classes like `BaseChatModel` and `BaseRetriever` should be covered here, as well as core implementations of these base classes,
-such as `ChatPromptTemplate` and `RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter`. Customization guides belong here too.
-
-This section should contain mostly conceptual **Tutorials**, **References**, and **Explanations** of the components they cover.
-
-:::note
-As a general rule of thumb, everything covered in the `Expression Language` and `Components` sections (with the exception of the `Composition` section of components) should
-cover only components that exist in `langchain_core`.
-:::
-
-### Integrations
-
-The [integrations](/docs/integrations/platforms/) are specific implementations of components. These often involve third-party APIs and services.
-If this is the case, as a general rule, these are maintained by the third-party partner.
-
-This section should contain mostly **Explanations** and **References**, though the actual content here is more flexible than other sections and more at the
-discretion of the third-party provider.
-
-:::note
-Concepts covered in `Integrations` should generally exist in `langchain_community` or specific partner packages.
-:::
-
-### Guides and Ecosystem
-
-The [Guides](/docs/tutorials) and [Ecosystem](https://docs.smith.langchain.com/) sections should contain guides that address higher-level problems than the sections above.
-This includes, but is not limited to, considerations around productionization and development workflows.
-
-These should contain mostly **How-to guides**, **Explanations**, and **Tutorials**.
-
-### API references
-
-LangChain's API references. Should act as **References** (as the name implies) with some **Explanation**-focused content as well. 
-
-## Sample developer journey
-
-We have set up our docs to assist a new developer to LangChain. Let's walk through the intended path:
-
-- The developer lands on https://python.langchain.com, and reads through the introduction and the diagram.
-- If they are just curious, they may be drawn to the [Quickstart](/docs/tutorials/llm_chain) to get a high-level tour of what LangChain contains.
-- If they have a specific task in mind that they want to accomplish, they will be drawn to the Use-Case section. The use-case should provide a good, concrete hook that shows the value LangChain can provide them and be a good entrypoint to the framework.
-- They can then move to learn more about the fundamentals of LangChain through the Expression Language sections.
-- Next, they can learn about LangChain's various components and integrations.
-- Finally, they can get additional knowledge through the Guides.

-## Guidelines
+## General guidelines
 
 Here are some other guidelines you should think about when writing and organizing documentation.
 
-### Linking to other sections
+We generally do not merge new tutorials from outside contributors without an actue need.
+We welcome updates as well as new integration docs, how-tos, and references.
+
+### Avoid duplication
+
+Multiple pages that cover the same material in depth are difficult to maintain and cause confusion. There should
+be only one (very rarely two), canonical pages for a given concept or feature. Instead, you should link to other guides.
+
+### Link to other sections
 
 Because sections of the docs do not exist in a vacuum, it is important to link to other sections as often as possible
 to allow a developer to learn more about an unfamiliar topic inline.
 
 This includes linking to the API references as well as conceptual sections!
 
-### Conciseness
+### Be concise
 
 In general, take a less-is-more approach. If a section with a good explanation of a concept already exists, you should link to it rather than
 re-explain it, unless the concept you are documenting presents some new wrinkle.

 ### General style
 
-- Use active voice and present tense whenever possible.
-- Use examples and code snippets to illustrate concepts and usage.
-- Use appropriate header levels (`#`, `##`, `###`, etc.) to organize the content hierarchically.
-- Use bullet points and numbered lists to break down information into easily digestible chunks.
-- Use tables (especially for **Reference** sections) and diagrams often to present information visually.
-- Include the table of contents for longer documentation pages to help readers navigate the content, but hide it for shorter pages.

As of 2024, 21 hummingbird species are listed as endangered or critically endangered, with numerous species declining in population.Hummingbirds have varied specialized characteristics to enable rapid, maneuverable flight: exceptional metabolic capacity, adaptations to high altitude, sensitive visual and communication abilities, and long-distance migration in some species. Among all birds, male hummingbirds have the widest diversity of plumage color, particularly in blues, greens, and purples. Hummingbirds are the smallest mature birds, measuring 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) in length. The smallest is the 5 cm (2.0 in) bee hummingbird, which weighs less than 2.0 g (0.07 oz), and the largest is the 23 cm (9 in) giant hummingbird, weighing 18–24 grams (0.63–0.85 oz).

       "They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which flap at high frequencies audible to other birds and humans. They hover at rapid wing-flapping rates, which vary from around 12 beats per second in the largest species to 80 per second in small hummingbirds.\n",
       "Hummingbirds have the highest mass-specific metabolic rate of any homeothermic animal. To conserve energy when food is scarce and at night when not foraging, they can enter torpor, a state similar to hibernation, and slow their metabolic rate to 1⁄15 of its normal rate. While most hummingbirds do not migrate, the rufous hummingbird has one of the longest migrations among birds, traveling twice per year between Alaska and Mexico, a distance of about 3,900 miles (6,300 km).\n",

With the ability to run at 70 km/h (43.5 mph), they are the fastest birds on land. They are farmed worldwide, with significant industries in the Philippines and in Namibia. Ostrich leather is a lucrative commodity, and the large feathers are used as plumes for the decoration of ceremonial headgear. Ostrich eggs have been used by humans for millennia.\n",

There are two living species of ostrich: the common ostrich, native to large areas of sub-Saharan Africa, and the Somali ostrich, native to the Horn of Africa.  The common ostrich was historically native to the Arabian Peninsula, and ostriches were present across Asia as far east as China and Mongolia during the Late Pleistocene and possibly into the Holocene.\u001b[0m\u001b[32;1m\u001b[1;3m### Hummingbird's Scientific Name\n",

+      "Page: Falcon\n",
+      "Summary: Falcons () are birds of prey in the genus Falco, which includes about 40 species. Falcons are widely distributed on all continents of the world except Antarctica, though closely related raptors did occur there in the Eocene.\n",
+      "Adult falcons have thin, tapered wings, which enable them to fly at high speed and change direction rapidly. Fledgling falcons, in their first year of flying, have longer flight feathers, which make their configuration more like that of a general-purpose bird such as a broad wing. This makes flying easier while learning the exceptional skills required to be effective hunters as adults.\n",
+      "The falcons are the largest genus in the Falconinae subfamily of Falconidae, which itself also includes another subfamily comprising caracaras and a few other species. All these birds kill with their beaks, using a tomial \"tooth\" on the side of their beaks—unlike the hawks, eagles, and other birds of prey in the Accipitridae, which use their feet.\n",
+      "The largest falcon is the gyrfalcon at up to 65 cm in length.  The smallest falcon species is the pygmy falcon, which measures just 20 cm.  As with hawks and owls, falcons exhibit sexual dimorphism, with the females typically larger than the males, thus allowing a wider range of prey species.\n",
+      "Some small falcons with long, narrow wings are called \"hobbies\" and some which hover while hunting are called \"kestrels\".\n",
+      "As is the case with many birds of prey, falcons have exceptional powers of vision; the visual acuity of one species has been measured at 2.6 times that of a normal human. Peregrine falcons have been recorded diving at speeds of 320 km/h (200 mph), making them the fastest-moving creatures on Earth; the fastest recorded dive attained a vertical speed of 390 km/h (240 mph).\u001b[0m\u001b[32;1m\u001b[1;3mThe scientific name for a hummingbird is Trochilidae.
