    BaseMedia

    Base class for content used in retrieval and data processing workflows.

    Provides common fields for content that needs to be stored, indexed, or searched.

    Note

    For multimodal content in chat messages (images, audio sent to/from LLMs), use langchain.messages content blocks instead.

    Copy
    BaseMedia(
        self,
        *args: Any = (),
        **kwargs: Any = {},
    )
