Develop an application

An example of a small application that you can create using LangChain on Vertex AI is one that returns the exchange rate between two currencies on a specified date.

You can define your own Python class (see Customize an application template), or you can use the LangchainAgent class in the Vertex AI SDK for Python for your agent. The following steps show you how to create this application using the LangchainAgent prebuilt template:

  1. Define and configure a model
  2. Define and use a tool
  3. (Optional) Store chat history
  4. (Optional) Customize the prompt template
  5. (Optional) Customize the orchestration

Before you begin

Before you run this tutorial, make sure your environment is set up by following the steps in Set up your environment.

Step 1. Define and configure a model

Run the following steps to define and configure your model:

  1. You need to define the Model version to use.

    model = "gemini-1.5-flash-001"
    
  2. (Optional) You can configure the safety settings of the model. To learn more about the options available for safety settings in Gemini, see Configure safety attributes.

    The following is an example of how you can configure the safety settings:

    from langchain_google_vertexai import HarmBlockThreshold, HarmCategory
    
    safety_settings = {
        HarmCategory.HARM_CATEGORY_UNSPECIFIED: HarmBlockThreshold.BLOCK_NONE,
        HarmCategory.HARM_CATEGORY_DANGEROUS_CONTENT: HarmBlockThreshold.BLOCK_MEDIUM_AND_ABOVE,
        HarmCategory.HARM_CATEGORY_HATE_SPEECH: HarmBlockThreshold.BLOCK_ONLY_HIGH,
        HarmCategory.HARM_CATEGORY_HARASSMENT: HarmBlockThreshold.BLOCK_LOW_AND_ABOVE,
        HarmCategory.HARM_CATEGORY_SEXUALLY_EXPLICIT: HarmBlockThreshold.BLOCK_NONE,
    }
    
  3. (Optional) You can specify model parameters in the following way:

    model_kwargs = {
        # temperature (float): The sampling temperature controls the degree of
        # randomness in token selection.
        "temperature": 0.28,
        # max_output_tokens (int): The token limit determines the maximum amount of
        # text output from one prompt.
        "max_output_tokens": 1000,
        # top_p (float): Tokens are selected from most probable to least until
        # the sum of their probabilities equals the top-p value.
        "top_p": 0.95,
        # top_k (int): The next token is selected from among the top-k most
        # probable tokens. This is not supported by all model versions. See
        # https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/image-understanding#valid_parameter_values
        # for details.
        "top_k": None,
        # safety_settings (Dict[HarmCategory, HarmBlockThreshold]): The safety
        # settings to use for generating content.
        # (you must create your safety settings using the previous step first).
        "safety_settings": safety_settings,
    }
    

You can now create and query a LangchainAgent using the model configurations:

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,                # Required.
    model_kwargs=model_kwargs,  # Optional.
)

response = agent.query(input="What is the exchange rate from US dollars to Swedish currency?")

The response is a Python dictionary similar to the following example:

{"input": "What is the exchange rate from US dollars to Swedish currency?",
 "output": """I cannot provide the live exchange rate from US dollars to Swedish currency (Swedish krona, SEK).

**Here's why:**

* **Exchange rates constantly fluctuate.** Factors like global economics, interest rates, and political events cause
  these changes throughout the day.
* **Providing inaccurate information would be misleading.**

**How to find the current exchange rate:**

1. **Use a reliable online converter:** Many websites specialize in live exchange rates. Some popular options include:
   * Google Finance (google.com/finance)
   * XE.com
   * Bank websites (like Bank of America, Chase, etc.)
2. **Contact your bank or financial institution:** They can give you the exact exchange rate they are using.

Remember to factor in any fees or commissions when exchanging currency.
"""}

(Optional) Advanced customization

The LangchainAgent template uses ChatVertexAI by default, because it provides access to all foundational models available in Google Cloud. To use a model that is not available through ChatVertexAI, you can specify the model_builder= argument, with a Python function of the following signature:

from typing import Optional

def model_builder(
    *,
    model_name: str,                      # Required. The name of the model
    model_kwargs: Optional[dict] = None,  # Optional. The model keyword arguments.
    **kwargs,                             # Optional. The remaining keyword arguments to be ignored.
):

For a list of the chat models supported in LangChain and their capabilities, see Chat Models. The set of supported values for model= and model_kwargs= are specific to each chat model, so you have to refer to their corresponding documentation for details.

ChatVertexAI

Installed by default.

It is used in the LangchainAgent template when you omit the model_builder argument, for example

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,                # Required.
    model_kwargs=model_kwargs,  # Optional.
)

ChatAnthropic

First, follow their documentation to set up an account and install the package.

Next, define a model_builder that returns ChatAnthropic:

def model_builder(*, model_name: str, model_kwargs = None, **kwargs):
    from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
    return ChatAnthropic(model_name=model_name, **model_kwargs)

Finally, use it in the LangchainAgent template with the following code:

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model="claude-3-opus-20240229",                       # Required.
    model_builder=model_builder,                          # Required.
    model_kwargs={
        "api_key": "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",  # Required.
        "temperature": 0.28,                              # Optional.
        "max_tokens": 1000,                               # Optional.
    },
)

ChatOpenAI

You can use ChatOpenAI in conjunction with Gemini's ChatCompletions API.

First, follow their documentation to install the package.

Next, define a model_builder that returns ChatOpenAI:

def model_builder(
    *,
    model_name: str,
    model_kwargs = None,
    project: str,   # Specified via vertexai.init
    location: str,  # Specified via vertexai.init
    **kwargs,
):
    import google.auth
    from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

    # Note: the credential lives for 1 hour by default.
    # After expiration, it must be refreshed.
    creds, _ = google.auth.default(scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"])
    auth_req = google.auth.transport.requests.Request()
    creds.refresh(auth_req)

    if model_kwargs is None:
        model_kwargs = {}

    endpoint = f"https://{location}-aiplatform.googleapis.com"
    base_url = f'{endpoint}/v1beta1/projects/{project}/locations/{location}/endpoints/openapi'

    return ChatOpenAI(
        model=model_name,
        base_url=base_url,
        api_key=creds.token,
        **model_kwargs,
    )

Finally, use it in the LangchainAgent template with the following code:

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model="google/gemini-1.5-pro-001",  # Or "meta/llama3-405b-instruct-maas"
    model_builder=model_builder,        # Required.
    model_kwargs={
        "temperature": 0,               # Optional.
        "max_retries": 2,               # Optional.
    },
)

Step 2. Define and use a tool

After you define your model, the next step is to define the tools that your model uses for reasoning. A tool can be a LangChain tool or a Python function. You can also convert a defined Python function to a LangChain Tool. This application uses a function definition.

When you define your function, it's important to include comments that fully and clearly describe the function's parameters, what the function does, and what the function returns. This information is used by the model to determine which function to use. You must also test your function locally to confirm that it works.

Use the following code to define a function that returns an exchange rate:

def get_exchange_rate(
    currency_from: str = "USD",
    currency_to: str = "EUR",
    currency_date: str = "latest",
):
    """Retrieves the exchange rate between two currencies on a specified date.

    Uses the Frankfurter API (https://api.frankfurter.app/) to obtain
    exchange rate data.

    Args:
        currency_from: The base currency (3-letter currency code).
            Defaults to "USD" (US Dollar).
        currency_to: The target currency (3-letter currency code).
            Defaults to "EUR" (Euro).
        currency_date: The date for which to retrieve the exchange rate.
            Defaults to "latest" for the most recent exchange rate data.
            Can be specified in YYYY-MM-DD format for historical rates.

    Returns:
        dict: A dictionary containing the exchange rate information.
            Example: {"amount": 1.0, "base": "USD", "date": "2023-11-24",
                "rates": {"EUR": 0.95534}}
    """
    import requests
    response = requests.get(
        f"https://api.frankfurter.app/{currency_date}",
        params={"from": currency_from, "to": currency_to},
    )
    return response.json()

To test the function before you use it in your application, run the following:

get_exchange_rate(currency_from="USD", currency_to="SEK")

The response should be similar to the following:

{'amount': 1.0, 'base': 'USD', 'date': '2024-02-22', 'rates': {'SEK': 10.3043}}

To use the tool inside the LangchainAgent template, you will add it to the list of tools under the tools= argument:

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,                # Required.
    tools=[get_exchange_rate],  # Optional.
    model_kwargs=model_kwargs,  # Optional.
)

You can test the application by performing test queries against it. Run the following command to test the application using US dollars and Swedish Krona:

response = agent.query(
    input="What is the exchange rate from US dollars to Swedish currency?"
)

The response is a dictionary that's similar to the following:

{"input": "What is the exchange rate from US dollars to Swedish currency?",
 "output": "For 1 US dollar you will get 10.7345 Swedish Krona."}

(Optional) Multiple tools

Tools for LangchainAgent can be defined and instantiated in other ways.

Grounding Tool

First, import the generate_models package and create the tool

from vertexai.generative_models import grounding, Tool

grounded_search_tool = Tool.from_google_search_retrieval(
    grounding.GoogleSearchRetrieval()
)

Next, use the tool inside the LangchainAgent template:

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    tools=[grounded_search_tool],
)
agent.query(input="When is the next total solar eclipse in US?")

The response is a dictionary that is similar to the following:

{"input": "When is the next total solar eclipse in US?",
 "output": """The next total solar eclipse in the U.S. will be on August 23, 2044.
 This eclipse will be visible from three states: Montana, North Dakota, and
 South Dakota. The path of totality will begin in Greenland, travel through
 Canada, and end around sunset in the United States."""}

For details, visit Grounding.

LangChain Tool

First, install the package that defines the tool.

pip install langchain-google-community

Next, import the package and create the tool.

from langchain_google_community import VertexAISearchRetriever
from langchain.tools.retriever import create_retriever_tool

retriever = VertexAISearchRetriever(
    project_id="PROJECT_ID",
    data_store_id="DATA_STORE_ID",
    location_id="DATA_STORE_LOCATION_ID",
    engine_data_type=1,
    max_documents=10,
)
movie_search_tool = create_retriever_tool(
    retriever=retriever,
    name="search_movies",
    description="Searches information about movies.",
)

Finally, use the tool inside the LangchainAgent template:

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    tools=[movie_search_tool],
)
response = agent.query(
    input="List some sci-fi movies from the 1990s",
)

It should return a response such as

{"input": "List some sci-fi movies from the 1990s",
 "output": """Here are some sci-fi movies from the 1990s:
    * The Matrix (1999): A computer hacker learns from mysterious rebels about the true nature of his reality and his role in the war against its controllers.
    * Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999): Two Jedi Knights escape a hostile blockade to find a queen and her protector, and come across a young boy [...]
    * Men in Black (1997): A police officer joins a secret organization that monitors extraterrestrial interactions on Earth.
    [...]
 """}

Vertex AI Extension

First, import the extensions package and create the tool

from typing import Optional

def generate_and_execute_code(
    query: str,
    files: Optional[list[str]] = None,
    file_gcs_uris: Optional[list[str]] = None,
) -> str:
    """Get the results of a natural language query by generating and executing
    a code snippet.

    should be provided.

    Args:
        query:

    """
    operation_params = {"query": query}
    if files:
        operation_params["files"] = files
    if file_gcs_uris:
        operation_params["file_gcs_uris"] = file_gcs_uris

    from vertexai.preview import extensions

    # If you have an existing extension instance, you can get it here
    # i.e. code_interpreter = extensions.Extension(resource_name).
    code_interpreter = extensions.Extension.from_hub("code_interpreter")
    return extensions.Extension.from_hub("code_interpreter").execute(
        operation_id="generate_and_execute",
        operation_params=operation_params,
    )

Next, use the tool inside the LangchainAgent template:

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    tools=[generate_and_execute_code],
)
agent.query(
    input="""Using the data below, construct a bar chart that includes only the height values with different colors for the bars:

For details, visit Vertex AI Extensions.

You can use all (or a subset) of the tools you've created in LangchainAgent:

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    tools=[
        get_exchange_rate,         # Optional (Python function)
        grounded_search_tool,      # Optional (Grounding Tool)
        movie_search_tool,         # Optional (Langchain Tool)
        generate_and_execute_code, # Optional (Vertex Extension)
    ],
)

agent.query(input="When is the next total solar eclipse in US?")

(Optional) Tool configuration

With Gemini, you can place constraints on tool usage. For example, instead of allowing the model to generate natural language responses, you can force it to only generate function calls ("forced function calling").

from vertexai.preview.generative_models import ToolConfig

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model="gemini-1.5-pro",
    tools=[search_arxiv, get_exchange_rate],
    model_tool_kwargs={
        "tool_config": {  # Specify the tool configuration here.
            "function_calling_config": {
                "mode": ToolConfig.FunctionCallingConfig.Mode.ANY,
                "allowed_function_names": ["search_arxiv", "get_exchange_rate"],
            },
        },
    },
)

agent.query(
    input="Explain the Schrodinger equation in a few sentences",
)

For details, visit Tool Configuration.

Step 3. Store chat history

To track chat messages and append them to a database, define a get_session_history function and pass it in when you create the agent. This function should take in a session_id and return a BaseChatMessageHistory object.

  • session_id is an identifier for the session that these input messages belong to. This lets you maintain several conversations at the same time.
  • BaseChatMessageHistory is the interface for classes that can load and save message objects.

Set up a database

For a list of the ChatMessageHistory providers from Google that are supported in LangChain, see Memory.

Firestore (Native)

First, follow LangChain's documentation to set up a database and install the package.

Next, define a get_session_history function as follows:

def get_session_history(session_id: str):
    from langchain_google_firestore import FirestoreChatMessageHistory
    from google.cloud import firestore

    client = firestore.Client(project="PROJECT_ID")
    return FirestoreChatMessageHistory(
        client=client,
        session_id=session_id,
        collection="TABLE_NAME",
        encode_message=False,
    )

Create the agent and pass it in as chat_history:

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    chat_history=get_session_history,  # <- new
)

Bigtable

First, follow LangChain's documentation to set up a database and install the package.

Next, define a get_session_history function as follows:

def get_session_history(session_id: str):
    from langchain_google_bigtable import BigtableChatMessageHistory

    return BigtableChatMessageHistory(
        instance_id="INSTANCE_ID",
        table_id="TABLE_NAME",
        session_id=session_id,
    )

Create the agent and pass it in as chat_history:

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    chat_history=get_session_history,  # <- new
)

Spanner

First, follow LangChain's documentation to set up a database and install the package.

Next, define a get_session_history function as follows:

def get_session_history(session_id: str):
    from langchain_google_spanner import SpannerChatMessageHistory

    return SpannerChatMessageHistory(
        instance_id="INSTANCE_ID",
        database_id="DATABASE_ID",
        table_name="TABLE_NAME",
        session_id=session_id,
    )

Create the agent and pass it in as chat_history:

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    chat_history=get_session_history,  # <- new
)

When querying the agent, make sure you pass in the session_id so that the agent has "memory" of past questions and answers:

agent.query(
    input="What is the exchange rate from US dollars to Swedish currency?",
    config={"configurable": {"session_id": "SESSION_ID"}},
)

Step 4. Customize the prompt template

Prompt templates help to translate user input into instructions for a model, and are used to guide a model's response, helping it understand the context and generate relevant and coherent language-based output. For details, visit ChatPromptTemplates.

The default prompt template is organized sequentially into sections.

Section Description
(Optional) System instruction Instructions for the agent to be applied across all queries.
(Optional) Chat history Messages corresponding to the chat history from a past session.
User input The query from the user for the agent to respond to.
Agent Scratchpad Messages created by the agent (e.g. with function calling) as it performs uses its tools and performs reasoning to formulate a response to the user.

The default prompt template is generated if you create the agent without specifying your own prompt template, and will look like the following in full:

from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
from langchain.agents.format_scratchpad.tools import format_to_tool_messages

prompt_template = {
    "user_input": lambda x: x["input"],
    "history": lambda x: x["history"],
    "agent_scratchpad": lambda x: format_to_tool_messages(x["intermediate_steps"]),
} | ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
    ("system", "{system_instruction}"),
    ("placeholder", "{history}"),
    ("user", "{user_input}"),
    ("placeholder", "{agent_scratchpad}"),
])

You can override the default prompt template with your own prompt template, and use it when constructing the agent, for example:


custom_prompt_template = {
    "user_input": lambda x: x["input"],
    "history": lambda x: x["history"],
    "agent_scratchpad": lambda x: format_to_tool_messages(x["intermediate_steps"]),
} | ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
    ("placeholder", "{history}"),
    ("user", "{user_input}"),
    ("placeholder", "{agent_scratchpad}"),
])

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    prompt=custom_prompt_template,
    chat_history=get_session_history,
    tools=[get_exchange_rate],
)

agent.query(
    input="What is the exchange rate from US dollars to Swedish currency?",
    config={"configurable": {"session_id": "SESSION_ID"}},
)

Step 5. Customize the orchestration

All LangChain components implement the Runnable interface, which provide input and output schemas for orchestration. The LangchainAgent requires a runnable to be built for it to respond to queries. By default, the LangchainAgent will build such a runnable by binding the model with tools and use an AgentExecutor that is wrapped into a RunnableWithMessageHistory if chat history is enabled.

You might want to customize the orchestration if you intend to (i) implement an agent that performs a deterministic set of steps (rather than to perform open-ended reasoning), or (ii) prompt the Agent in a ReAct-like fashion to annotate each step with thoughts for why it performed that step. To do so, you have to override the default runnable when creating the LangchainAgent by specifying the runnable_builder= argument with a Python function of the following signature:

from typing import Optional
from langchain_core.language_models import BaseLanguageModel

def runnable_builder(
    model: BaseLanguageModel,
    *,
    system_instruction: Optional[str] = None,
    prompt: Optional["RunnableSerializable"] = None,
    tools: Optional[Sequence["_ToolLike"]] = None,
    chat_history: Optional["GetSessionHistoryCallable"] = None,
    model_tool_kwargs: Optional[Mapping[str, Any]] = None,
    agent_executor_kwargs: Optional[Mapping[str, Any]] = None,
    runnable_kwargs: Optional[Mapping[str, Any]] = None,
    **kwargs,
):

where

  • model corresponds to the chat model being returned from the model_builder (see Define and configure a model),
  • tools and model_tool_kwargs corresponds to the tools and configurations to be used (see Define and use a tool),
  • chat_history corresponds to the database for storing chat messages (see Store chat history),
  • system_instruction and prompt corresponds to the prompt configuration (see Customize the prompt template),
  • agent_executor_kwargs and runnable_kwargs are the keyword arguments you can use for customizing the runnable to be built.

This gives different options for customizing the orchestration logic.

ChatModel

In the simplest case, to create an agent without orchestration, you can override the runnable_builder for LangchainAgent to return the model directly.

from langchain_core.language_models import BaseLanguageModel

def llm_builder(model: BaseLanguageModel, **kwargs):
    return model

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    runnable_builder=llm_builder,

ReAct

To override the default tool-calling behavior with your own ReAct agent based on your own prompt (see Customize the Prompt Template), you need to override the runnable_builder for LangchainAgent.

from typing import Sequence
from langchain_core.language_models import BaseLanguageModel
from langchain_core.prompts import BasePromptTemplate
from langchain_core.tools import BaseTool
from langchain import hub

def react_builder(
    model: BaseLanguageModel,
    *,
    tools: Sequence[BaseTool],
    prompt: BasePromptTemplate,
    agent_executor_kwargs = None,
    **kwargs,
):
    from langchain.agents.react.agent import create_react_agent
    from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor

    agent = create_react_agent(model, tools, prompt)
    return AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=tools, **agent_executor_kwargs)

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    tools=[get_exchange_rate],
    prompt=hub.pull("hwchase17/react"),
    agent_executor_kwargs={"verbose": True}, # Optional. For illustration.
    runnable_builder=react_builder,
)

LCEL Syntax

To construct the following graph using LangChain Expression Language (LCEL),

   Input
   /   \
 Pros  Cons
   \   /
  Summary

you need to override the runnable_builder for LangchainAgent:

def lcel_builder(*, model, **kwargs):
    from operator import itemgetter
    from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
    from langchain_core.runnables import RunnablePassthrough
    from langchain_core.output_parsers import StrOutputParser

    output_parser = StrOutputParser()

    planner = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
        "Generate an argument about: {input}"
    ) | model | output_parser | {"argument": RunnablePassthrough()}

    pros = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
        "List the positive aspects of {argument}"
    ) | model | output_parser

    cons = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
        "List the negative aspects of {argument}"
    ) | model | output_parser

    final_responder = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
        "Argument:{argument}\nPros:\n{pros}\n\nCons:\n{cons}\n"
        "Generate a final response given the critique",
    ) | model | output_parser

    return planner | {
        "pros": pros,
        "cons": cons,
        "argument": itemgetter("argument"),
    } | final_responder

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    runnable_builder=lcel_builder,
)

LangGraph

To construct the following graph using LangGraph,

   Input
   /   \
 Pros  Cons
   \   /
  Summary

you need to override the runnable_builder for LangchainAgent:

def langgraph_builder(*, model, **kwargs):
    from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
    from langchain_core.output_parsers import StrOutputParser
    from langgraph.graph import END, MessageGraph

    output_parser = StrOutputParser()

    planner = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
        "Generate an argument about: {input}"
    ) | model | output_parser

    pros = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
        "List the positive aspects of {input}"
    ) | model | output_parser

    cons = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
        "List the negative aspects of {input}"
    ) | model | output_parser

    summary = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
        "Input:{input}\nGenerate a final response given the critique",
    ) | model | output_parser

    builder = MessageGraph()
    builder.add_node("planner", planner)
    builder.add_node("pros", pros)
    builder.add_node("cons", cons)
    builder.add_node("summary", summary)

    builder.add_edge("planner", "pros")
    builder.add_edge("planner", "cons")
    builder.add_edge("pros", "summary")
    builder.add_edge("cons", "summary")
    builder.add_edge("summary", END)
    builder.set_entry_point("planner")
    return builder.compile()

agent = reasoning_engines.LangchainAgent(
    model=model,
    runnable_builder=langgraph_builder,
)

# Example query
agent.query(input={"role": "user", "content": "scrum methodology"})
