Use a single chain to route an input to one of multiple llm chains.
Chain to run queries against LLMs.
This class is deprecated. See below for an example implementation using LangChain runnables:
from langchain_core.output_parsers import StrOutputParser
from langchain_core.prompts import PromptTemplate
from langchain_openai import OpenAI
prompt_template = "Tell me a {adjective} joke"
prompt = PromptTemplate(input_variables=["adjective"], template=prompt_template)
model = OpenAI()
chain = prompt | model | StrOutputParser()
chain.invoke("your adjective here")A router chain that uses an LLM chain to perform routing.
This class is deprecated. See below for a replacement, which offers several benefits, including streaming and batch support.
