    ChatGeneration

    A single chat generation output.

    A subclass of Generation that represents the response from a chat model that generates chat messages.

    The message attribute is a structured representation of the chat message. Most of the time, the message will be of type AIMessage.

    Users working with chat models will usually access information via either AIMessage (returned from runnable interfaces) or LLMResult (available via callbacks).
