This will help you get started with NVIDIA chat models. For detailed documentation of all ChatNVIDIA
features and configurations head to the API reference.
The langchain-nvidia-ai-endpoints
package contains LangChain integrations building applications with models on NVIDIA NIM inference microservice. NIM supports models across domains like chat, embedding, and re-ranking models from the community as well as NVIDIA. These models are optimized by NVIDIA to deliver the best performance on NVIDIA accelerated infrastructure and deployed as a NIM, an easy-to-use, prebuilt containers that deploy anywhere using a single command on NVIDIA accelerated infrastructure.
NVIDIA hosted deployments of NIMs are available to test on the NVIDIA API catalog. After testing, NIMs can be exported from NVIDIAβs API catalog using the NVIDIA AI Enterprise license and run on-premises or in the cloud, giving enterprises ownership and full control of their IP and AI application.
NIMs are packaged as container images on a per model basis and are distributed as NGC container images through the NVIDIA NGC Catalog. At their core, NIMs provide easy, consistent, and familiar APIs for running inference on an AI model.
This example goes over how to use LangChain to interact with NVIDIA supported via the ChatNVIDIA
class.
For more information on accessing the chat models through this api, check out the ChatNVIDIA documentation.
Integration detailsβ Model featuresβ SetupβTo get started:
Create a free account with NVIDIA, which hosts NVIDIA AI Foundation models.
Click on your model of choice.
Under Input
select the Python
tab, and click Get API Key
. Then click Generate Key
.
Copy and save the generated key as NVIDIA_API_KEY
. From there, you should have access to the endpoints.
import getpass
import os
if not os.getenv("NVIDIA_API_KEY"):
os.environ["NVIDIA_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your NVIDIA API key: ")
To enable automated tracing of your model calls, set your LangSmith API key:
InstallationβThe LangChain NVIDIA AI Endpoints integration lives in the langchain-nvidia-ai-endpoints
package:
%pip install --upgrade --quiet langchain-nvidia-ai-endpoints
Instantiationβ
Now we can access models in the NVIDIA API Catalog:
from langchain_nvidia_ai_endpoints import ChatNVIDIA
llm = ChatNVIDIA(model="mistralai/mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v0.1")
Invocationβ
result = llm.invoke("Write a ballad about LangChain.")
print(result.content)
Working with NVIDIA NIMsβ
When ready to deploy, you can self-host models with NVIDIA NIMβwhich is included with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software licenseβand run them anywhere, giving you ownership of your customizations and full control of your intellectual property (IP) and AI applications.
from langchain_nvidia_ai_endpoints import ChatNVIDIA
llm = ChatNVIDIA(base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1", model="meta/llama3-8b-instruct")
Stream, Batch, and Asyncβ
These models natively support streaming, and as is the case with all LangChain LLMs they expose a batch method to handle concurrent requests, as well as async methods for invoke, stream, and batch. Below are a few examples.
print(llm.batch(["What's 2*3?", "What's 2*6?"]))
for chunk in llm.stream("How far can a seagull fly in one day?"):
print(chunk.content, end="|")
async for chunk in llm.astream(
"How long does it take for monarch butterflies to migrate?"
):
print(chunk.content, end="|")
Supported modelsβ
Querying available_models
will still give you all of the other models offered by your API credentials.
The playground_
prefix is optional.
ChatNVIDIA.get_available_models()
Model typesβ
All of these models above are supported and can be accessed via ChatNVIDIA
.
Some model types support unique prompting techniques and chat messages. We will review a few important ones below.
To find out more about a specific model, please navigate to the API section of an AI Foundation model as linked here.
General ChatβModels such as meta/llama3-8b-instruct
and mistralai/mixtral-8x22b-instruct-v0.1
are good all-around models that you can use for with any LangChain chat messages. Example below.
from langchain_core.output_parsers import StrOutputParser
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
from langchain_nvidia_ai_endpoints import ChatNVIDIA
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
[("system", "You are a helpful AI assistant named Fred."), ("user", "{input}")]
)
chain = prompt | ChatNVIDIA(model="meta/llama3-8b-instruct") | StrOutputParser()
for txt in chain.stream({"input": "What's your name?"}):
print(txt, end="")
Code Generationβ
These models accept the same arguments and input structure as regular chat models, but they tend to perform better on code-generation and structured code tasks. An example of this is meta/codellama-70b
.
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
[
(
"system",
"You are an expert coding AI. Respond only in valid python; no narration whatsoever.",
),
("user", "{input}"),
]
)
chain = prompt | ChatNVIDIA(model="meta/codellama-70b") | StrOutputParser()
for txt in chain.stream({"input": "How do I solve this fizz buzz problem?"}):
print(txt, end="")
Multimodalβ
NVIDIA also supports multimodal inputs, meaning you can provide both images and text for the model to reason over. An example model supporting multimodal inputs is nvidia/neva-22b
.
Below is an example use:
import IPython
import requests
image_url = "https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam/en-zz/Solutions/research/ai-playground/nvidia-picasso-3c33-p@2x.jpg"
image_content = requests.get(image_url).content
IPython.display.Image(image_content)
from langchain_nvidia_ai_endpoints import ChatNVIDIA
llm = ChatNVIDIA(model="nvidia/neva-22b")
Passing an image as a URLβ
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage
llm.invoke(
[
HumanMessage(
content=[
{"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image:"},
{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": image_url}},
]
)
]
)
Passing an image as a base64 encoded stringβ
At the moment, some extra processing happens client-side to support larger images like the one above. But for smaller images (and to better illustrate the process going on under the hood), we can directly pass in the image as shown below:
import IPython
import requests
image_url = "https://picsum.photos/seed/kitten/300/200"
image_content = requests.get(image_url).content
IPython.display.Image(image_content)
import base64
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage
b64_string = base64.b64encode(image_content).decode("utf-8")
llm.invoke(
[
HumanMessage(
content=[
{"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image:"},
{
"type": "image_url",
"image_url": {"url": f"data:image/png;base64,{b64_string}"},
},
]
)
]
)
Directly within the stringβ
The NVIDIA API uniquely accepts images as base64 images inlined within <img/>
HTML tags. While this isn't interoperable with other LLMs, you can directly prompt the model accordingly.
base64_with_mime_type = f"data:image/png;base64,{b64_string}"
llm.invoke(f'What\'s in this image?\n<img src="{base64_with_mime_type}" />')
Example usage within a RunnableWithMessageHistoryβ
Like any other integration, ChatNVIDIA is fine to support chat utilities like RunnableWithMessageHistory which is analogous to using ConversationChain
. Below, we show the LangChain RunnableWithMessageHistory example applied to the mistralai/mixtral-8x22b-instruct-v0.1
model.
%pip install --upgrade --quiet langchain
from langchain_core.chat_history import InMemoryChatMessageHistory
from langchain_core.runnables.history import RunnableWithMessageHistory
store = {}
def get_session_history(session_id: str) -> InMemoryChatMessageHistory:
if session_id not in store:
store[session_id] = InMemoryChatMessageHistory()
return store[session_id]
chat = ChatNVIDIA(
model="mistralai/mixtral-8x22b-instruct-v0.1",
temperature=0.1,
max_tokens=100,
top_p=1.0,
)
config = {"configurable": {"session_id": "1"}}
conversation = RunnableWithMessageHistory(
chat,
get_session_history,
)
conversation.invoke(
"Hi I'm Srijan Dubey.",
config=config,
)
conversation.invoke(
"I'm doing well! Just having a conversation with an AI.",
config=config,
)
conversation.invoke(
"Tell me about yourself.",
config=config,
)
Starting in v0.2, ChatNVIDIA
supports bind_tools.
ChatNVIDIA
provides integration with the variety of models on build.nvidia.com as well as local NIMs. Not all these models are trained for tool calling. Be sure to select a model that does have tool calling for your experimention and applications.
You can get a list of models that are known to support tool calling with,
tool_models = [
model for model in ChatNVIDIA.get_available_models() if model.supports_tools
]
tool_models
With a tool capable model,
from langchain_core.tools import tool
from pydantic import Field
@tool
def get_current_weather(
location: str = Field(..., description="The location to get the weather for."),
):
"""Get the current weather for a location."""
...
llm = ChatNVIDIA(model=tool_models[0].id).bind_tools(tools=[get_current_weather])
response = llm.invoke("What is the weather in Boston?")
response.tool_calls
See How to use chat models to call tools for additional examples.
ChainingβWe can chain our model with a prompt template like so:
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate(
[
(
"system",
"You are a helpful assistant that translates {input_language} to {output_language}.",
),
("human", "{input}"),
]
)
chain = prompt | llm
chain.invoke(
{
"input_language": "English",
"output_language": "German",
"input": "I love programming.",
}
)
