Getting Started with LangChain Swift

Welcome to the world of LangChain for Swift, an innovative library designed for machine learning on iOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS platforms. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to set up and start using LangChain Swift effectively. Follow along as we explore different aspects of this client library without requiring any server setup!

Setup Instructions

Before diving into the code, there are some initial configurations you need to take care of:

1. Set up the library by initializing the API keys:

   swift
   LC.initSet([
       NOTION_API_KEY: xx,
       NOTION_ROOT_NODE_ID: xx,
       OPENAI_API_KEY: xx,
       OPENAI_API_BASE: xx,
   ])

2. Set certain variables for API access. Here’s how:
   • OPENAI_API_KEY = sk-xxx
   • OPENAI_API_BASE = xxx
   • SUPABASE_URL = xxx
   • SUPABASE_KEY = xxx
   • HF_API_KEY = xxx
   • And more depending on your project needs…

Getting Started with Local Model

To leverage the local models, it’s vital to use the proper structure:

swift
if let modelPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "stablelm-3b-4e1t-Q4_K_M", ofType: "txt") {
    let local = Local(inference: .GPTNeox_gguf, modelPath: modelPath, useMetal: true)
    let r = await local.generate(text: "hi")
    print((r!.llm_output!))
} else {
    print("loss model")
}

In this analogy, think of your code as a chef looking for a recipe in a kitchen. The recipe book (modelPath) tells you how to prepare a dish. If you find the book (model), you can create a delightful meal (response) with it. If not, you just won’t have the ingredients you need (loss model).

Engaging with Chatbots

Creating a simple chatbot can be accomplished with the following code:

swift
let template = "Assistant is a large language model trained by OpenAI."
let prompt = PromptTemplate(input_variables: [history, human_input], partial_variable: [:], template: template)
let chatgpt_chain = LLMChain(
    llm: OpenAI(),
    prompt: prompt,
    memory: ConversationBufferWindowMemory())

Just like a thoughtfully written novel, this setup allows your chatbot to capture the essence of conversations and generate engaging dialogues.

Troubleshooting

While using LangChain Swift, you may face certain issues. Here are some troubleshooting tips to consider:

• Double-check your API keys for correctness. A simple typo can be the culprit.
• If you encounter a missing model error, ensure that the specified model file exists in the correct directory.
• Make sure all dependencies for the local model are met. Consulting the project’s dependency list is crucial.

In case you run into an issue you can’t solve, remember to check for updates and discussions at **fxis.ai** for insights, collaborations, or further assistance.
