ccurme faef3e5d50 core, standard-tests: support PDF and audio input in Chat Completions format (#30979)
Chat models currently implement support for:
- images in OpenAI Chat Completions format
- other multimodal types (e.g., PDF and audio) in a cross-provider
[standard
format](https://python.langchain.com/docs/how_to/multimodal_inputs/)

Here we update core to extend support to PDF and audio input in Chat
Completions format. **If an OAI-format PDF or audio content block is
passed into any chat model, it will be transformed to the LangChain
standard format**. We assume that any chat model supporting OAI-format
PDF or audio has implemented support for the standard format.

langchain-openai

This package contains the LangChain integrations for OpenAI through their openai SDK.

Installation and Setup

  • Install the LangChain partner package
pip install langchain-openai
  • Get an OpenAI api key and set it as an environment variable (OPENAI_API_KEY)

Chat model

See a usage example.

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

If you are using a model hosted on Azure, you should use different wrapper for that:

from langchain_openai import AzureChatOpenAI

For a more detailed walkthrough of the Azure wrapper, see here

Text Embedding Model

See a usage example

from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings

If you are using a model hosted on Azure, you should use different wrapper for that:

from langchain_openai import AzureOpenAIEmbeddings

For a more detailed walkthrough of the Azure wrapper, see here

LLM (Legacy)

LLM refers to the legacy text-completion models that preceded chat models. See a usage example.

from langchain_openai import OpenAI

If you are using a model hosted on Azure, you should use different wrapper for that:

from langchain_openai import AzureOpenAI
