Mason Daugherty f624ad489a feat(docs): improve devx, fix Makefile targets (#32237)
**TL;DR much of the provided `Makefile` targets were broken, and any
time I wanted to preview changes locally I either had to refer to a
command Chester gave me or try waiting on a Vercel preview deployment.
With this PR, everything should behave like normal.**

Significant updates to the `Makefile` and documentation files, focusing
on improving usability, adding clear messaging, and fixing/enhancing
documentation workflows.

### Updates to `Makefile`:

#### Enhanced build and cleaning processes:
- Added informative messages (e.g., "📚 Building LangChain
documentation...") to makefile targets like `docs_build`, `docs_clean`,
and `api_docs_build` for better user feedback during execution.
- Introduced a `clean-cache` target to the `docs` `Makefile` to clear
cached dependencies and ensure clean builds.

#### Improved dependency handling:
- Modified `install-py-deps` to create a `.venv/deps_installed` marker,
preventing redundant/duplicate dependency installations and improving
efficiency.

#### Streamlined file generation and infrastructure setup:
- Added caching for the LangServe README download and parallelized
feature table generation
- Added user-friendly completion messages for targets like `copy-infra`
and `render`.

#### Documentation server updates:
- Enhanced the `start` target with messages indicating server start and
URL for local documentation viewing.

---

### Documentation Improvements:

#### Content clarity and consistency:
- Standardized section titles for consistency across documentation
files.

#### Enhanced workflows:
- Updated instructions for building and viewing documentation locally,
including tips for specifying server ports and handling API reference
previews.

files.

langchain-anthropic

This package contains the LangChain integration for Anthropic's generative models.

Installation

pip install -U langchain-anthropic

Chat Models

Anthropic recommends using their chat models over text completions.

You can see their recommended models in the Anthropic docs.

To use, you should have an Anthropic API key configured. Initialize the model as:

from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
from langchain_core.messages import AIMessage, HumanMessage

model = ChatAnthropic(model="claude-3-opus-20240229", temperature=0, max_tokens=1024)

Define the input message

message = HumanMessage(content="What is the capital of France?")

Generate a response using the model

response = model.invoke([message])

For a more detailed walkthrough see here.

LLMs (Legacy)

You can use the Claude 2 models for text completions.

from langchain_anthropic import AnthropicLLM

model = AnthropicLLM(model="claude-2.1", temperature=0, max_tokens=1024)
response = model.invoke("The best restaurant in San Francisco is: ")
