registry. registry.
Practically speaking, a task should adhere to the `Protocol` `LLMTask` defined
in [`ty.py`](https://github.com/spacy-llm/spacy_llm/ty.py). It needs to define a
`generate_prompts` function and a `parse_responses` function.
Moreover, the task may define an optional
[`scorer` method](https://spacy.io/api/scorer#score). It should accept an
iterable of `Example`s as input and return a score dictionary. If the `scorer`
method is defined, `spacy-llm` will call it to evaluate the component.
#### Providing examples for few-shot prompts {id="few-shot-prompts"}
All built-in tasks support few-shot prompts, i. e. including examples in a
prompt. Examples can be supplied in two ways: (1) as a separate file containing
only examples or (2) by initializing `llm` with a `get_examples()` callback
(like any other spaCy pipeline component).
##### (1) Few-shot example file
A file containing examples for few-shot prompting can be configured like this:
```ini
[components.llm.task]
@llm_tasks = "spacy.NER.v2"
labels = PERSON,ORGANISATION,LOCATION
[components.llm.task.examples]
@misc = "spacy.FewShotReader.v1"
path = "ner_examples.yml"
```
The supplied file has to conform to the format expected by the required task
(see the task documentation further down).
##### (2) Initializing the `llm` component with a `get_examples()` callback
Alternatively, you can initialize your `nlp` pipeline by providing a
`get_examples` callback for
[`nlp.initialize`](https://spacy.io/api/language#initialize) and setting
`n_prompt_examples` to a positive number to automatically fetch a few examples
for few-shot learning. Set `n_prompt_examples` to `-1` to use all examples as
part of the few-shot learning prompt.
```ini
[initialize.components.llm]
n_prompt_examples = 3

the repo currently connects to the `OpenAI` API by default using REST, and
accesses the `"gpt-3.5-turbo"` model.
Currently three different approaches to use LLMs are supported:
1. `spacy-llm`s native REST interface. This is the default for all hosted models
(e. g. OpenAI, Cohere, Anthropic, ...).
2. A HuggingFace integration that allows to run a limited set of HF models
locally.
3. A LangChain integration that allows to run any model supported by LangChain
(hosted or locally).
Approaches 1. and 2 are the default for hosted model and local models,
respectively. Alternatively you can use LangChain to access hosted or local
models by specifying one of the models registered with the `langchain.` prefix.
<Infobox>
_Why LangChain if there are also are a native REST and a HuggingFace interface? When should I use what?_
Third-party libraries like `langchain` focus on prompt management, integration
of many different LLM APIs, and other related features such as conversational
memory or agents. `spacy-llm` on the other hand emphasizes features we consider
useful in the context of NLP pipelines utilizing LLMs to process documents
(mostly) independent from each other. It makes sense that the feature sets of
such third-party libraries and `spacy-llm` aren't identical - and users might
want to take advantage of features not available in `spacy-llm`.
The advantage of implementing our own REST and HuggingFace integrations is that
we can ensure a larger degree of stability and robustness, as we can guarantee
backwards-compatibility and more smoothly integrated error handling.
If however there are features or APIs not natively covered by `spacy-llm`, it's
trivial to utilize LangChain to cover this - and easy to customize the prompting
mechanism, if so required.

## Ongoing work {id="ongoing-work"}
In the near future, we will
- Add more example tasks
- Support a broader range of models
- Provide more example use-cases and tutorials
- Make the built-in tasks easier to customize via Jinja templates to define the
instructions & examples
PRs are always welcome!
