langchain_huggingface

ChatHuggingFace

Bases: BaseChatModel

Hugging Face LLM's as ChatModels.

Works with HuggingFaceTextGenInference, HuggingFaceEndpoint, HuggingFaceHub, and HuggingFacePipeline LLMs.

Upon instantiating this class, the model_id is resolved from the url provided to the LLM, and the appropriate tokenizer is loaded from the HuggingFace Hub.

Setup

Install langchain-huggingface and ensure your Hugging Face token is saved.

pip install langchain-huggingface

from huggingface_hub import login

login()  # You will be prompted for your HF key, which will then be saved locally

Key init args — completion params: llm: LLM to be used.

Key init args — client params: custom_get_token_ids: Optional encoder to use for counting tokens. metadata: Metadata to add to the run trace. tags: Tags to add to the run trace. verbose: Whether to print out response text.

See full list of supported init args and their descriptions in the params section.

name class-attribute instance-attribute

name: str | None = None

The name of the Runnable. Used for debugging and tracing.

InputType property

InputType: TypeAlias

Get the input type for this Runnable.

OutputType property

OutputType: Any

Get the output type for this Runnable.

input_schema property

input_schema: type[BaseModel]

The type of input this Runnable accepts specified as a Pydantic model.

output_schema property

output_schema: type[BaseModel]

Output schema.

The type of output this Runnable produces specified as a Pydantic model.

config_specs property

config_specs: list[ConfigurableFieldSpec]

List configurable fields for this Runnable.

lc_secrets property

lc_secrets: dict[str, str]

A map of constructor argument names to secret ids.

For example, {"openai_api_key": "OPENAI_API_KEY"}

lc_attributes property

lc_attributes: dict

List of attribute names that should be included in the serialized kwargs.

These attributes must be accepted by the constructor.

Default is an empty dictionary.

cache class-attribute instance-attribute

cache: BaseCache | bool | None = Field(default=None, exclude=True)

Whether to cache the response.

• If True, will use the global cache.
• If False, will not use a cache
• If None, will use the global cache if it's set, otherwise no cache.
• If instance of BaseCache, will use the provided cache.

Caching is not currently supported for streaming methods of models.

verbose class-attribute instance-attribute

verbose: bool = Field(default_factory=_get_verbosity, exclude=True, repr=False)

Whether to print out response text.

callbacks class-attribute instance-attribute

callbacks: Callbacks = Field(default=None, exclude=True)

Callbacks to add to the run trace.

tags class-attribute instance-attribute

tags: list[str] | None = Field(default=None, exclude=True)

Tags to add to the run trace.

metadata class-attribute instance-attribute

metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = Field(default=None, exclude=True)

Metadata to add to the run trace.

custom_get_token_ids class-attribute instance-attribute

custom_get_token_ids: Callable[[str], list[int]] | None = Field(
    default=None, exclude=True
)

Optional encoder to use for counting tokens.

rate_limiter class-attribute instance-attribute

rate_limiter: BaseRateLimiter | None = Field(default=None, exclude=True)

An optional rate limiter to use for limiting the number of requests.

disable_streaming class-attribute instance-attribute

disable_streaming: bool | Literal['tool_calling'] = False

Whether to disable streaming for this model.

If streaming is bypassed, then stream/astream/astream_events will defer to invoke/ainvoke.

• If True, will always bypass streaming case.
• If 'tool_calling', will bypass streaming case only when the model is called with a tools keyword argument. In other words, LangChain will automatically switch to non-streaming behavior (invoke) only when the tools argument is provided. This offers the best of both worlds.
• If False (Default), will always use streaming case if available.

The main reason for this flag is that code might be written using stream and a user may want to swap out a given model for another model whose the implementation does not properly support streaming.

output_version class-attribute instance-attribute

output_version: str | None = Field(
    default_factory=from_env("LC_OUTPUT_VERSION", default=None)
)

Version of AIMessage output format to store in message content.

AIMessage.content_blocks will lazily parse the contents of content into a standard format. This flag can be used to additionally store the standard format in message content, e.g., for serialization purposes.

Supported values:

• 'v0': provider-specific format in content (can lazily-parse with content_blocks)
• 'v1': standardized format in content (consistent with content_blocks)

Partner packages (e.g., langchain-openai) can also use this field to roll out new content formats in a backward-compatible way.

Added in langchain-core 1.0

profile class-attribute instance-attribute

profile: ModelProfile | None = Field(default=None, exclude=True)

Profile detailing model capabilities.

Beta feature

This is a beta feature. The format of model profiles is subject to change.

If not specified, automatically loaded from the provider package on initialization if data is available.

Example profile data includes context window sizes, supported modalities, or support for tool calling, structured output, and other features.

Added in langchain-core 1.1

    exclude_types: Sequence[str] | None = None,
    exclude_tags: Sequence[str] | None = None,
    **kwargs: Any,
) -> AsyncIterator[StreamEvent]

Generate a stream of events.

Use to create an iterator over StreamEvent that provide real-time information about the progress of the Runnable, including StreamEvent from intermediate results.

A StreamEvent is a dictionary with the following schema:

• event: Event names are of the format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).
• name: The name of the Runnable that generated the event.
• run_id: Randomly generated ID associated with the given execution of the Runnable that emitted the event. A child Runnable that gets invoked as part of the execution of a parent Runnable is assigned its own unique ID.
• parent_ids: The IDs of the parent runnables that generated the event. The root Runnable will have an empty list. The order of the parent IDs is from the root to the immediate parent. Only available for v2 version of the API. The v1 version of the API will return an empty list.
• tags: The tags of the Runnable that generated the event.
• metadata: The metadata of the Runnable that generated the event.
• data: The data associated with the event. The contents of this field depend on the type of event. See the table below for more details.

Below is a table that illustrates some events that might be emitted by various chains. Metadata fields have been omitted from the table for brevity. Chain definitions have been included after the table.

Note

This reference table is for the v2 version of the schema.

event	name	chunk	input	output
on_chat_model_start	'[model name]'		{"messages": [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}
on_chat_model_stream	'[model name]'	AIMessageChunk(content="hello")
on_chat_model_end	'[model name]'		{"messages": [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}	AIMessageChunk(content="hello world")
on_llm_start	'[model name]'		{'input': 'hello'}
on_llm_stream	'[model name]'	'Hello'
on_llm_end	'[model name]'		'Hello human!'
on_chain_start	'format_docs'
on_chain_stream	'format_docs'	'hello world!, goodbye world!'
on_chain_end	'format_docs'		[Document(...)]	'hello world!, goodbye world!'
on_tool_start	'some_tool'		{"x": 1, "y": "2"}
on_tool_end	'some_tool'			{"x": 1, "y": "2"}
on_retriever_start	'[retriever name]'		{"query": "hello"}
on_retriever_end	'[retriever name]'		{"query": "hello"}	[Document(...), ..]
on_prompt_start	'[template_name]'		{"question": "hello"}
on_prompt_end	'[template_name]'		{"question": "hello"}	ChatPromptValue(messages: [SystemMessage, ...])

In addition to the standard events, users can also dispatch custom events (see example below).

Custom events will be only be surfaced with in the v2 version of the API!

A custom event has following format:

Attribute	Type	Description
name	str	A user defined name for the event.
data	Any	The data associated with the event. This can be anything, though we suggest making it JSON serializable.

Here are declarations associated with the standard events shown above:

format_docs:

def format_docs(docs: list[Document]) -> str:
    '''Format the docs.'''
    return ", ".join([doc.page_content for doc in docs])


format_docs = RunnableLambda(format_docs)

some_tool:

@tool
def some_tool(x: int, y: str) -> dict:
    '''Some_tool.'''
    return {"x": x, "y": y}

prompt:

template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
    [
        ("system", "You are Cat Agent 007"),
        ("human", "{question}"),
    ]
).with_config({"run_name": "my_template", "tags": ["my_template"]})

Example

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda


async def reverse(s: str) -> str:
    return s[::-1]


chain = RunnableLambda(func=reverse)

events = [
    event async for event in chain.astream_events("hello", version="v2")
]

# Will produce the following events
# (run_id, and parent_ids has been omitted for brevity):
[
    {
        "data": {"input": "hello"},
        "event": "on_chain_start",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",

    **kwargs: Any,
) -> AsyncIterator[StreamEvent]

Generate a stream of events.

Use to create an iterator over StreamEvent that provide real-time information about the progress of the Runnable, including StreamEvent from intermediate results.

A StreamEvent is a dictionary with the following schema:

• event: Event names are of the format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).
• name: The name of the Runnable that generated the event.
• run_id: Randomly generated ID associated with the given execution of the Runnable that emitted the event. A child Runnable that gets invoked as part of the execution of a parent Runnable is assigned its own unique ID.
• parent_ids: The IDs of the parent runnables that generated the event. The root Runnable will have an empty list. The order of the parent IDs is from the root to the immediate parent. Only available for v2 version of the API. The v1 version of the API will return an empty list.
• tags: The tags of the Runnable that generated the event.
• metadata: The metadata of the Runnable that generated the event.
• data: The data associated with the event. The contents of this field depend on the type of event. See the table below for more details.

Below is a table that illustrates some events that might be emitted by various chains. Metadata fields have been omitted from the table for brevity. Chain definitions have been included after the table.

Note

This reference table is for the v2 version of the schema.

event	name	chunk	input	output
on_chat_model_start	'[model name]'		{"messages": [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}
on_chat_model_stream	'[model name]'	AIMessageChunk(content="hello")
on_chat_model_end	'[model name]'		{"messages": [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}	AIMessageChunk(content="hello world")
on_llm_start	'[model name]'		{'input': 'hello'}
on_llm_stream	'[model name]'	'Hello'
on_llm_end	'[model name]'		'Hello human!'
on_chain_start	'format_docs'
on_chain_stream	'format_docs'	'hello world!, goodbye world!'
on_chain_end	'format_docs'		[Document(...)]	'hello world!, goodbye world!'
on_tool_start	'some_tool'		{"x": 1, "y": "2"}
on_tool_end	'some_tool'			{"x": 1, "y": "2"}
on_retriever_start	'[retriever name]'		{"query": "hello"}
on_retriever_end	'[retriever name]'		{"query": "hello"}	[Document(...), ..]
on_prompt_start	'[template_name]'		{"question": "hello"}
on_prompt_end	'[template_name]'		{"question": "hello"}	ChatPromptValue(messages: [SystemMessage, ...])

In addition to the standard events, users can also dispatch custom events (see example below).

Custom events will be only be surfaced with in the v2 version of the API!

A custom event has following format:

Attribute	Type	Description
name	str	A user defined name for the event.
data	Any	The data associated with the event. This can be anything, though we suggest making it JSON serializable.

Here are declarations associated with the standard events shown above:

format_docs:

def format_docs(docs: list[Document]) -> str:
    '''Format the docs.'''
    return ", ".join([doc.page_content for doc in docs])


format_docs = RunnableLambda(format_docs)

some_tool:

@tool
def some_tool(x: int, y: str) -> dict:
    '''Some_tool.'''
    return {"x": x, "y": y}

prompt:

template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
    [
        ("system", "You are Cat Agent 007"),
        ("human", "{question}"),
    ]
).with_config({"run_name": "my_template", "tags": ["my_template"]})

Example

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda


async def reverse(s: str) -> str:
    return s[::-1]


chain = RunnableLambda(func=reverse)

events = [
    event async for event in chain.astream_events("hello", version="v2")
]

# Will produce the following events
# (run_id, and parent_ids has been omitted for brevity):
[
    {
        "data": {"input": "hello"},
        "event": "on_chain_start",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",

    input: Any,
    config: RunnableConfig | None = None,
    *,
    version: Literal["v1", "v2"] = "v2",
    include_names: Sequence[str] | None = None,

    exclude_types: Sequence[str] | None = None,
    exclude_tags: Sequence[str] | None = None,
    **kwargs: Any,
) -> AsyncIterator[StreamEvent]

Generate a stream of events.

Use to create an iterator over StreamEvent that provide real-time information about the progress of the Runnable, including StreamEvent from intermediate results.

A StreamEvent is a dictionary with the following schema:

• event: Event names are of the format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).
• name: The name of the Runnable that generated the event.
• run_id: Randomly generated ID associated with the given execution of the Runnable that emitted the event. A child Runnable that gets invoked as part of the execution of a parent Runnable is assigned its own unique ID.
• parent_ids: The IDs of the parent runnables that generated the event. The root Runnable will have an empty list. The order of the parent IDs is from the root to the immediate parent. Only available for v2 version of the API. The v1 version of the API will return an empty list.
• tags: The tags of the Runnable that generated the event.
• metadata: The metadata of the Runnable that generated the event.
• data: The data associated with the event. The contents of this field depend on the type of event. See the table below for more details.

Below is a table that illustrates some events that might be emitted by various chains. Metadata fields have been omitted from the table for brevity. Chain definitions have been included after the table.

Note

This reference table is for the v2 version of the schema.

event	name	chunk	input	output
on_chat_model_start	'[model name]'		{"messages": [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}
on_chat_model_stream	'[model name]'	AIMessageChunk(content="hello")
on_chat_model_end	'[model name]'		{"messages": [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}	AIMessageChunk(content="hello world")
on_llm_start	'[model name]'		{'input': 'hello'}
on_llm_stream	'[model name]'	'Hello'
on_llm_end	'[model name]'		'Hello human!'
on_chain_start	'format_docs'
on_chain_stream	'format_docs'	'hello world!, goodbye world!'
on_chain_end	'format_docs'		[Document(...)]	'hello world!, goodbye world!'
on_tool_start	'some_tool'		{"x": 1, "y": "2"}
on_tool_end	'some_tool'			{"x": 1, "y": "2"}
on_retriever_start	'[retriever name]'		{"query": "hello"}
on_retriever_end	'[retriever name]'		{"query": "hello"}	[Document(...), ..]
on_prompt_start	'[template_name]'		{"question": "hello"}
on_prompt_end	'[template_name]'		{"question": "hello"}	ChatPromptValue(messages: [SystemMessage, ...])

In addition to the standard events, users can also dispatch custom events (see example below).

Custom events will be only be surfaced with in the v2 version of the API!

A custom event has following format:

Attribute	Type	Description
name	str	A user defined name for the event.
data	Any	The data associated with the event. This can be anything, though we suggest making it JSON serializable.

Here are declarations associated with the standard events shown above:

format_docs:

def format_docs(docs: list[Document]) -> str:
    '''Format the docs.'''
    return ", ".join([doc.page_content for doc in docs])


format_docs = RunnableLambda(format_docs)

some_tool:

@tool
def some_tool(x: int, y: str) -> dict:
    '''Some_tool.'''
    return {"x": x, "y": y}

prompt:

template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
    [
        ("system", "You are Cat Agent 007"),
        ("human", "{question}"),
    ]
).with_config({"run_name": "my_template", "tags": ["my_template"]})

Example

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda


async def reverse(s: str) -> str:
    return s[::-1]


chain = RunnableLambda(func=reverse)

events = [
    event async for event in chain.astream_events("hello", version="v2")
]

# Will produce the following events
# (run_id, and parent_ids has been omitted for brevity):
[
    {
        "data": {"input": "hello"},
        "event": "on_chain_start",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",

set_verbose

set_verbose(verbose: bool | None) -> bool

If verbose is None, set it.

This allows users to pass in None as verbose to access the global setting.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
verbose	The verbosity setting to use. TYPE: bool | None

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
bool	The verbosity setting to use.

generate_prompt

generate_prompt(
    prompts: list[PromptValue],
    stop: list[str] | None = None,
    callbacks: Callbacks | list[Callbacks] | None = None,
    **kwargs: Any,
) -> LLMResult

Pass a sequence of prompts to the model and return model generations.

This method should make use of batched calls for models that expose a batched API.

Use this method when you want to:

1. Take advantage of batched calls,
2. Need more output from the model than just the top generated value,
3. Are building chains that are agnostic to the underlying language model type (e.g., pure text completion models vs chat models).

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
prompts	List of PromptValue objects. A PromptValue is an object that can be converted to match the format of any language model (string for pure text generation models and BaseMessage objects for chat models). TYPE: list[PromptValue]
stop	Stop words to use when generating. Model output is cut off at the first occurrence of any of these substrings. TYPE: list[str] | None DEFAULT: None
callbacks	Callbacks to pass through. Used for executing additional functionality, such as logging or streaming, throughout generation. TYPE: Callbacks DEFAULT: None
**kwargs	Arbitrary additional keyword arguments. These are usually passed to the model provider API call. TYPE: Any DEFAULT: {}

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
LLMResult	An LLMResult, which contains a list of candidate Generation objects for each input prompt and additional model provider-specific output.

agenerate_prompt async

agenerate_prompt(
    prompts: list[PromptValue],
    stop: list[str] | None = None,
    callbacks: Callbacks | list[Callbacks] | None = None,
    **kwargs: Any,
) -> LLMResult

Asynchronously pass a sequence of prompts and return model generations.

with_structured_output

with_structured_output(
    schema: dict | type, **kwargs: Any

Not implemented on this class.

get_token_ids

get_token_ids(text: str) -> list[int]

Return the ordered IDs of the tokens in a text.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
text	The string input to tokenize. TYPE: str

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
list[int]	A list of IDs corresponding to the tokens in the text, in order they occur in the text.

get_num_tokens

get_num_tokens(text: str) -> int

Get the number of tokens present in the text.

Useful for checking if an input fits in a model's context window.

This should be overridden by model-specific implementations to provide accurate token counts via model-specific tokenizers.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
text	The string input to tokenize. TYPE: str

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
int	The integer number of tokens in the text.

get_num_tokens_from_messages

get_num_tokens_from_messages(
    messages: list[BaseMessage], tools: Sequence | None = None
) -> int

Get the number of tokens in the messages.

Useful for checking if an input fits in a model's context window.

This should be overridden by model-specific implementations to provide accurate token counts via model-specific tokenizers.

Note

• The base implementation of get_num_tokens_from_messages ignores tool schemas.
• The base implementation of get_num_tokens_from_messages adds additional prefixes to messages in represent user roles, which will add to the overall token count. Model-specific implementations may choose to handle this differently.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
messages	The message inputs to tokenize. TYPE: list[BaseMessage]
tools	If provided, sequence of dict, BaseModel, function, or BaseTool objects to be converted to tool schemas. TYPE: Sequence | None DEFAULT: None

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
int	The sum of the number of tokens across the messages.
