| 
 | |
| [The spacy-llm package](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm) integrates Large
 | |
| Language Models (LLMs) into spaCy, featuring a modular system for **fast
 | |
| prototyping** and **prompting**, and turning unstructured responses into
 | |
| **robust outputs** for various NLP tasks, **no training data** required.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Config and implementation {id="config"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| An LLM component is implemented through the `LLMWrapper` class. It is accessible
 | |
| through a generic `llm`
 | |
| [component factory](https://spacy.io/usage/processing-pipelines#custom-components-factories)
 | |
| as well as through task-specific component factories: `llm_ner`, `llm_spancat`, `llm_rel`,
 | |
| `llm_textcat`, `llm_sentiment` and `llm_summarization`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### LLMWrapper.\_\_init\_\_ {id="init",tag="method"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| > #### Example
 | |
| >
 | |
| > ```python
 | |
| > # Construction via add_pipe with the default GPT 3.5 model and an explicitly defined task
 | |
| > config = {"task": {"@llm_tasks": "spacy.NER.v3", "labels": ["PERSON", "ORGANISATION", "LOCATION"]}}
 | |
| > llm = nlp.add_pipe("llm", config=config)
 | |
| >
 | |
| > # Construction via add_pipe with a task-specific factory and default GPT3.5 model
 | |
| > llm = nlp.add_pipe("llm-ner")
 | |
| >
 | |
| > # Construction from class
 | |
| > from spacy_llm.pipeline import LLMWrapper
 | |
| > llm = LLMWrapper(vocab=nlp.vocab, task=task, model=model, cache=cache, save_io=True)
 | |
| > ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Create a new pipeline instance. In your application, you would normally use a
 | |
| shortcut for this and instantiate the component using its string name and
 | |
| [`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe).
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Name           | Description                                                                                        |

| | **RETURNS** | The labels added to the component. ~~Tuple[str, ...]~~ |
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Tasks {id="tasks"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Task implementation {id="task-implementation"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| A _task_ defines an NLP problem or question, that will be sent to the LLM via a
 | |
| prompt. Further, the task defines how to parse the LLM's responses back into
 | |
| structured information. All tasks are registered in the `llm_tasks` registry.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### task.generate_prompts {id="task-generate-prompts"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| Takes a collection of documents, and returns a collection of "prompts", which
 | |
| can be of type `Any`. Often, prompts are of type `str` - but this is not
 | |
| enforced to allow for maximum flexibility in the framework.
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Argument    | Description                              |
 | |
| | ----------- | ---------------------------------------- |
 | |
| | `docs`      | The input documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~   |
 | |
| | **RETURNS** | The generated prompts. ~~Iterable[Any]~~ |
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### task.parse_responses {id="task-parse-responses"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| Takes a collection of LLM responses and the original documents, parses the
 | |
| responses into structured information, and sets the annotations on the
 | |
| documents. The `parse_responses` function is free to set the annotations in any
 | |
| way, including `Doc` fields like `ents`, `spans` or `cats`, or using custom
 | |
| defined fields.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The `responses` are of type `Iterable[Any]`, though they will often be `str`
 | |
| objects. This depends on the return type of the [model](#models).
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Argument    | Description                                |
 | |
| | ----------- | ------------------------------------------ |
 | |
| | `docs`      | The input documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~     |
 | |
| | `responses` | The generated prompts. ~~Iterable[Any]~~   |
 | |
| | **RETURNS** | The annotated documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Summarization {id="summarization"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| A summarization task takes a document as input and generates a summary that is
 | |
| stored in an extension attribute.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### spacy.Summarization.v1 {id="summarization-v1"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| The `spacy.Summarization.v1` task supports both zero-shot and few-shot
 | |
| prompting.
 | |
| 
 | |
| > #### Example config
 | |
| >
 | |
| > ```ini
 | |
| > [components.llm.task]
 | |
| > @llm_tasks = "spacy.Summarization.v1"
 | |
| > examples = null
 | |
| > max_n_words = null
 | |
| > ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Argument      | Description                                                                                                                                                                                   |
 | |
| | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
 | |
| | `template`    | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model. Defaults to [summarization.v1.jinja](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm/blob/main/spacy_llm/tasks/templates/summarization.v1.jinja). ~~str~~ |
 | |
| | `examples`    | Optional function that generates examples for few-shot learning. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[], Iterable[Any]]]~~                                                                |
 | |
| | `max_n_words` | Maximum number of words to be used in summary. Note that this should not expected to work exactly. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[int]~~                                                      |
 | |
| | `field`       | Name of extension attribute to store summary in (i. e. the summary will be available in `doc._.{field}`). Defaults to `summary`. ~~str~~                                                      |
 | |
| 
 | |
| The summarization task prompts the model for a concise summary of the provided
 | |
| text. It optionally allows to limit the response to a certain number of tokens -
 | |
| note that this requirement will be included in the prompt, but the task doesn't
 | |
| perform a hard cut-off. It's hence possible that your summary exceeds
 | |
| `max_n_words`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To perform [few-shot learning](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts),
 | |
| you can write down a few examples in a separate file, and provide these to be
 | |
| injected into the prompt to the LLM. The default reader `spacy.FewShotReader.v1`
 | |
| supports `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` and `.jsonl`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml
 | |
| - text: >
 | |
|     The United Nations, referred to informally as the UN, is an
 | |
|     intergovernmental organization whose stated purposes are  to maintain
 | |
|     international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations,
 | |
|     achieve international cooperation, and serve as a centre for harmonizing the
 | |
|     actions of nations. It is the world's largest international organization.
 | |
|     The UN is headquartered on international territory in New York City, and the
 | |
|     organization has other offices in Geneva, Nairobi, Vienna, and The Hague,
 | |
|     where the International Court of Justice is headquartered.\n\n The UN was
 | |
|     established after World War II with the aim of preventing future world wars,
 | |
|     and succeeded the League of  Nations, which was characterized as
 | |
|     ineffective.
 | |
|   summary:
 | |
|     'The UN is an international organization that promotes global peace,
 | |
|     cooperation, and harmony. Established after WWII, its purpose is to prevent
 | |
|     future world wars.'
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```ini
 | |
| [components.llm.task]
 | |
| @llm_tasks = "spacy.Summarization.v1"
 | |
| max_n_words = 20
 | |
| [components.llm.task.examples]
 | |
| @misc = "spacy.FewShotReader.v1"
 | |
| path = "summarization_examples.yml"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### NER {id="ner"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| The NER task identifies non-overlapping entities in text.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### spacy.NER.v3 {id="ner-v3"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 3 is fundamentally different to v1 and v2, as it implements
 | |
| Chain-of-Thought prompting, based on the
 | |
| [PromptNER paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.15444.pdf) by Ashok and Lipton
 | |
| (2023). On an internal use-case, we have found this implementation to obtain
 | |
| significant better accuracy - with an increase of F-score of up to 15 percentage
 | |
| points.
 | |
| 
 | |
| > #### Example config
 | |
| >
 | |
| > ```ini
 | |
| > [components.llm.task]
 | |
| > @llm_tasks = "spacy.NER.v3"
 | |
| > labels = ["PERSON", "ORGANISATION", "LOCATION"]
 | |
| > ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| When no examples are [specified](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts),
 | |
| the v3 implementation will use a dummy example in the prompt. Technically this
 | |
| means that the task will always perform few-shot prompting under the hood.

 | |
| | `labels`                  | List of labels or str of comma-separated list of labels. ~~Union[List[str], str]~~                                                                                                                     |
 | |
| | `label_definitions`       | Optional dict mapping a label to a description of that label. These descriptions are added to the prompt to help instruct the LLM on what to extract. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Dict[str, str]]~~ |
 | |
| | `template`                | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model. Defaults to [ner.v3.jinja](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm/blob/main/spacy_llm/tasks/templates/ner.v3.jinja). ~~str~~                              |
 | |
| | `description` (NEW)       | A description of what to recognize or not recognize as entities. ~~str~~                                                                                                                               |
 | |
| | `examples`                | Optional function that generates examples for few-shot learning. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[], Iterable[Any]]]~~                                                                         |
 | |
| | `normalizer`              | Function that normalizes the labels as returned by the LLM. If `None`, defaults to `spacy.LowercaseNormalizer.v1`. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[str], str]]~~                              |
 | |
| | `alignment_mode`          | Alignment mode in case the LLM returns entities that do not align with token boundaries. Options are `"strict"`, `"contract"` or `"expand"`. Defaults to `"contract"`. ~~str~~                         |
 | |
| | `case_sensitive_matching` | Whether to search without case sensitivity. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~                                                                                                                              |
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that the `single_match` parameter, used in v1 and v2, is not supported
 | |
| anymore, as the CoT parsing algorithm takes care of this automatically.
 | |
| 
 | |
| New to v3 is the fact that you can provide an explicit description of what
 | |
| entities should look like. You can use this feature in addition to
 | |
| `label_definitions`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```ini
 | |
| [components.llm.task]
 | |
| @llm_tasks = "spacy.NER.v3"
 | |
| labels = ["DISH", "INGREDIENT", "EQUIPMENT"]
 | |
| description = Entities are the names food dishes,
 | |
|     ingredients, and any kind of cooking equipment.
 | |
|     Adjectives, verbs, adverbs are not entities.
 | |
|     Pronouns are not entities.
 | |
| 
 | |
| [components.llm.task.label_definitions]
 | |
| DISH = "Known food dishes, e.g. Lobster Ravioli, garlic bread"
 | |
| INGREDIENT = "Individual parts of a food dish, including herbs and spices."
 | |
| EQUIPMENT = "Any kind of cooking equipment. e.g. oven, cooking pot, grill"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| To perform [few-shot learning](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts),
 | |
| you can write down a few examples in a separate file, and provide these to be
 | |
| injected into the prompt to the LLM. The default reader `spacy.FewShotReader.v1`
 | |
| supports `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` and `.jsonl`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| While not required, this task works best when both positive and negative
 | |
| examples are provided. The format is different than the files required for v1
 | |
| and v2, as additional fields such as `is_entity` and `reason` should now be
 | |
| provided.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```json
 | |
| [
 | |
|   {
 | |
|     "text": "You can't get a great chocolate flavor with carob.",
 | |
|     "spans": [
 | |
|       {
 | |
|         "text": "chocolate",
 | |

| #### spacy.NER.v2 {id="ner-v2"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| This version supports explicitly defining the provided labels with custom
 | |
| descriptions, and further supports zero-shot and few-shot prompting just like
 | |
| v1.
 | |
|

 | |
| | `labels`                  | List of labels or str of comma-separated list of labels. ~~Union[List[str], str]~~                                                                                                                     |
 | |
| | `label_definitions` (NEW) | Optional dict mapping a label to a description of that label. These descriptions are added to the prompt to help instruct the LLM on what to extract. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Dict[str, str]]~~ |
 | |
| | `template` (NEW)          | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model. Defaults to [ner.v2.jinja](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm/blob/main/spacy_llm/tasks/templates/ner.v2.jinja). ~~str~~                              |
 | |
| | `examples`                | Optional function that generates examples for few-shot learning. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[], Iterable[Any]]]~~                                                                         |
 | |
| | `normalizer`              | Function that normalizes the labels as returned by the LLM. If `None`, defaults to `spacy.LowercaseNormalizer.v1`. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[str], str]]~~                              |
 | |
| | `alignment_mode`          | Alignment mode in case the LLM returns entities that do not align with token boundaries. Options are `"strict"`, `"contract"` or `"expand"`. Defaults to `"contract"`. ~~str~~                         |
 | |
| | `case_sensitive_matching` | Whether to search without case sensitivity. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~                                                                                                                              |
 | |
| | `single_match`            | Whether to match an entity in the LLM's response only once (the first hit) or multiple times. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~                                                                            |
 | |
| 
 | |
| The parameters `alignment_mode`, `case_sensitive_matching` and `single_match`
 | |
| are identical to the [v1](#ner-v1) implementation. The format of few-shot
 | |
| examples are also the same.
 | |
| 
 | |
| > Label descriptions can also be used with explicit examples to give as much
 | |
| > info to the LLM model as possible.
 | |
| 
 | |
| New to v2 is the fact that you can write definitions for each label and provide
 | |
| them via the `label_definitions` argument. This lets you tell the LLM exactly
 | |
| what you're looking for rather than relying on the LLM to interpret its task
 | |
| given just the label name. Label descriptions are freeform so you can write
 | |
| whatever you want here, but a brief description along with some examples and
 | |
| counter examples seems to work quite well.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```ini
 | |
| [components.llm.task]
 | |
| @llm_tasks = "spacy.NER.v2"
 | |
| labels = PERSON,SPORTS_TEAM
 | |
| 
 | |
| [components.llm.task.label_definitions]
 | |
| PERSON = "Extract any named individual in the text."
 | |
| SPORTS_TEAM = "Extract the names of any professional sports team. e.g. Golden State Warriors, LA Lakers, Man City, Real Madrid"
 | |
| ```

| 
 | |
| #### spacy.NER.v1 {id="ner-v1"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| The original version of the built-in NER task supports both zero-shot and
 | |
| few-shot prompting.
 | |
| 
 | |

 | |
| | `normalizer`              | Function that normalizes the labels as returned by the LLM. If `None`, defaults to `spacy.LowercaseNormalizer.v1`. ~~Optional[Callable[[str], str]]~~                          |
 | |
| | `alignment_mode`          | Alignment mode in case the LLM returns entities that do not align with token boundaries. Options are `"strict"`, `"contract"` or `"expand"`. Defaults to `"contract"`. ~~str~~ |
 | |
| | `case_sensitive_matching` | Whether to search without case sensitivity. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~                                                                                                      |
 | |
| | `single_match`            | Whether to match an entity in the LLM's response only once (the first hit) or multiple times. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~                                                    |
 | |
| 
 | |
| The NER task implementation doesn't currently ask the LLM for specific offsets,
 | |
| but simply expects a list of strings that represent the enties in the document.
 | |
| This means that a form of string matching is required. This can be configured by
 | |
| the following parameters:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - The `single_match` parameter is typically set to `False` to allow for multiple
 | |
|   matches. For instance, the response from the LLM might only mention the entity
 | |
|   "Paris" once, but you'd still want to mark it every time it occurs in the
 | |
|   document.
 | |
| - The case-sensitive matching is typically set to `False` to be robust against
 | |
|   case variances in the LLM's output.
 | |
| - The `alignment_mode` argument is used to match entities as returned by the LLM
 | |
|   to the tokens from the original `Doc` - specifically it's used as argument in
 | |
|   the call to [`doc.char_span()`](/api/doc#char_span). The `"strict"` mode will
 | |
|   only keep spans that strictly adhere to the given token boundaries.
 | |
|   `"contract"` will only keep those tokens that are fully within the given
 | |
|   range, e.g. reducing `"New Y"` to `"New"`. Finally, `"expand"` will expand the
 | |
|   span to the next token boundaries, e.g. expanding `"New Y"` out to
 | |
|   `"New York"`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To perform [few-shot learning](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts),
 | |

 | |
| 
 | |
| Note: the REL task relies on pre-extracted entities to make its prediction.
 | |
| Hence, you'll need to add a component that populates `doc.ents` with recognized
 | |
| spans to your spaCy pipeline and put it _before_ the REL component.
 | |

 | |
| ### Lemma {id="lemma"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| The Lemma task lemmatizes the provided text and updates the `lemma_` attribute
 | |
| in the doc's tokens accordingly.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### spacy.Lemma.v1 {id="lemma-v1"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| This task supports both zero-shot and few-shot prompting.
 | |

| | Argument   | Description                                                                                                                                                                   |
 | |
| | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
 | |
| | `template` | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model. Defaults to [lemma.v1.jinja](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm/blob/main/spacy_llm/tasks/templates/lemma.v1.jinja). ~~str~~ |
 | |
| | `examples` | Optional function that generates examples for few-shot learning. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[], Iterable[Any]]]~~                                                |
 | |
| 
 | |
| The task prompts the LLM to lemmatize the passed text and return the lemmatized
 | |
| version as a list of tokens and their corresponding lemma. E. g. the text
 | |
| `I'm buying ice cream for my friends` should invoke the response
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| I: I
 | |
| 'm: be
 | |
| buying: buy
 | |
| ice: ice
 | |
| cream: cream
 | |
| for: for
 | |
| my: my
 | |
| friends: friend
 | |
| .: .
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| If for any given text/doc instance the number of lemmas returned by the LLM
 | |
| doesn't match the number of tokens from the pipeline's tokenizer, no lemmas are
 | |
| stored in the corresponding doc's tokens. Otherwise the tokens `.lemma_`
 | |
| property is updated with the lemma suggested by the LLM.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To perform [few-shot learning](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts),
 | |
| you can write down a few examples in a separate file, and provide these to be
 | |
| injected into the prompt to the LLM. The default reader `spacy.FewShotReader.v1`
 | |
| supports `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` and `.jsonl`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml
 | |
| - text: I'm buying ice cream.
 | |
|   lemmas:
 | |
|     - 'I': 'I'
 | |
|     - "'m": 'be'

 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Sentiment {id="sentiment"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| Performs sentiment analysis on provided texts. Scores between 0 and 1 are stored
 | |
| in `Doc._.sentiment` - the higher, the more positive. Note in cases of parsing
 | |
| issues (e. g. in case of unexpected LLM responses) the value might be `None`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### spacy.Sentiment.v1 {id="sentiment-v1"}

| 
 | |
| This task supports both zero-shot and few-shot prompting.

 | |
| | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
 | |
| | `template` | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model. Defaults to [sentiment.v1.jinja](./spacy_llm/tasks/templates/sentiment.v1.jinja). ~~str~~     |
 | |
| | `examples` | Optional function that generates examples for few-shot learning. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[], Iterable[Any]]]~~             |
 | |
| | `field`    | Name of extension attribute to store summary in (i. e. the summary will be available in `doc._.{field}`). Defaults to `sentiment`. ~~str~~ |

 | |
| To perform [few-shot learning](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts),
 | |
| you can write down a few examples in a separate file, and provide these to be

 | |
| 
 | |
| ### NoOp {id="noop"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| This task is only useful for testing - it tells the LLM to do nothing, and does
 | |
| not set any fields on the `docs`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| > #### Example config
 | |
| >
 | |
| > ```ini
 | |
| > [components.llm.task]
 | |
| > @llm_tasks = "spacy.NoOp.v1"
 | |
| > ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### spacy.NoOp.v1 {id="noop-v1"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| This task needs no further configuration.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Models {id="models"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| A _model_ defines which LLM model to query, and how to query it. It can be a
 | |
| simple function taking a collection of prompts (consistent with the output type
 | |
| of `task.generate_prompts()`) and returning a collection of responses
 | |
| (consistent with the expected input of `parse_responses`). Generally speaking,
 | |
| it's a function of type `Callable[[Iterable[Any]], Iterable[Any]]`, but specific
 | |
| implementations can have other signatures, like
 | |
| `Callable[[Iterable[str]], Iterable[str]]`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Models via REST API {id="models-rest"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| These models all take the same parameters, but note that the `config` should
 | |
| contain provider-specific keys and values, as it will be passed onwards to the
 | |
| provider's API.
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Argument           | Description                                                                                                                                       |
 | |
| | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
 | |
| | `name`             | Model name, i. e. any supported variant for this particular model. Default depends on the specific model (cf. below) ~~str~~                      |
 | |
| | `config`           | Further configuration passed on to the model. Default depends on the specific model (cf. below). ~~Dict[Any, Any]~~                               |
 | |
| | `strict`           | If `True`, raises an error if the LLM API returns a malformed response. Otherwise, return the error responses as is. Defaults to `True`. ~~bool~~ |
 | |
| | `max_tries`        | Max. number of tries for API request. Defaults to `5`. ~~int~~                                                                                    |
 | |
| | `max_request_time` | Max. time (in seconds) to wait for request to terminate before raising an exception. Defaults to `30.0`. ~~float~~                                |
 | |
| | `interval`         | Time interval (in seconds) for API retries in seconds. Defaults to `1.0`. ~~float~~                                                               |

 | |
| 
 | |
| To use these models, make sure that you've [set the relevant API](#api-keys)
 | |
| keys as environment variables.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### API Keys {id="api-keys"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that when using hosted services, you have to ensure that the proper API
 | |
| keys are set as environment variables as described by the corresponding
 | |
| provider's documentation.
 | |
| 
 | |
| E. g. when using OpenAI, you have to get an API key from openai.com, and ensure
 | |
| that the keys are set as environmental variables:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```shell
 | |
| export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
 | |
| export OPENAI_API_ORG="org-..."
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| For Cohere:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```shell
 | |
| export CO_API_KEY="..."
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| For Anthropic:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```shell
 | |
| export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="..."
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Models via HuggingFace {id="models-hf"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| These models all take the same parameters:
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Argument      | Description                                                                                                                           |
 | |
| | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
 | |
| | `name`        | Model name, i. e. any supported variant for this particular model. ~~str~~                                                            |
 | |
| | `config_init` | Further configuration passed on to the construction of the model with `transformers.pipeline()`. Defaults to `{}`. ~~Dict[str, Any]~~ |
 | |
| | `config_run`  | Further configuration used during model inference. Defaults to `{}`. ~~Dict[str, Any]~~                                               |

 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that Hugging Face will download the model the first time you use it - you
 | |
| can
 | |
| [define the cached directory](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/main/en/guides/manage-cache)
 | |
| by setting the environmental variable `HF_HOME`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Installation with HuggingFace {id="install-hf"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| To use models from HuggingFace, ideally you have a GPU enabled and have
 | |
| installed `transformers`, `torch` and CUDA in your virtual environment. This
 | |
| allows you to have the setting `device=cuda:0` in your config, which ensures
 | |
| that the model is loaded entirely on the GPU (and fails otherwise).
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can do so with
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```shell
 | |
| python -m pip install "spacy-llm[transformers]" "transformers[sentencepiece]"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you don't have access to a GPU, you can install `accelerate` and
 | |
| set`device_map=auto` instead, but be aware that this may result in some layers
 | |
| getting distributed to the CPU or even the hard drive, which may ultimately
 | |
| result in extremely slow queries.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```shell
 | |
| python -m pip install "accelerate>=0.16.0,<1.0"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### LangChain models {id="langchain-models"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| To use [LangChain](https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain) for the API retrieval
 | |
| part, make sure you have installed it first:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```shell
 | |
| python -m pip install "langchain==0.0.191"
 | |
| # Or install with spacy-llm directly
 | |
| python -m pip install "spacy-llm[extras]"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that LangChain currently only supports Python 3.9 and beyond.
 | |
| 
 | |
| LangChain models in `spacy-llm` work slightly differently. `langchain`'s models
 | |
| are parsed automatically, each LLM class in `langchain` has one entry in
 | |
| `spacy-llm`'s registry. As `langchain`'s design has one class per API and not
 | |
| per model, this results in registry entries like `langchain.OpenAI.v1` - i. e.
 | |
| there is one registry entry per API and not per model (family), as for the REST-
 | |
| and HuggingFace-based entries.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The name of the model to be used has to be passed in via the `name` attribute.
 | |
| 
 | |
| > #### Example config
 | |
| >
 | |
| > ```ini
 | |
| > [components.llm.model]
 | |
| > @llm_models = "langchain.OpenAI.v1"
 | |
| > name = "gpt-3.5-turbo"
 | |
| > query = {"@llm_queries": "spacy.CallLangChain.v1"}
 | |
| > config = {"temperature": 0.0}
 | |
| > ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Argument | Description                                                                                                                                                           |
 | |
| | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
 | |
| | `name`   | The name of a mdodel supported by LangChain for this API. ~~str~~                                                                                                     |
 | |
| | `config` | Configuration passed on to the LangChain model. Defaults to `{}`. ~~Dict[Any, Any]~~                                                                                  |
 | |
| | `query`  | Function that executes the prompts. If `None`, defaults to `spacy.CallLangChain.v1`. ~~Optional[Callable[["langchain.llms.BaseLLM", Iterable[Any]], Iterable[Any]]]~~ |
 | |
| 
 | |
| The default `query` (`spacy.CallLangChain.v1`) executes the prompts by running
 | |
| `model(text)` for each given textual prompt.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Cache {id="cache"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| Interacting with LLMs, either through an external API or a local instance, is
 | |
| costly. Since developing an NLP pipeline generally means a lot of exploration
 | |
| and prototyping, `spacy-llm` implements a built-in cache to avoid reprocessing
 | |
| the same documents at each run that keeps batches of documents stored on disk.
 | |
| 
 | |
| > #### Example config
 | |
| >
 | |
| > ```ini
 | |
| > [components.llm.cache]
 | |
| > @llm_misc = "spacy.BatchCache.v1"
 | |
| > path = "path/to/cache"
 | |
| > batch_size = 64
 | |
| > max_batches_in_mem = 4
 | |
| > ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Argument             | Description                                                                                                                                      |
 | |
| | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
 | |
| | `path`               | Cache directory. If `None`, no caching is performed, and this component will act as a NoOp. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Union[str, Path]]~~   |
 | |
| | `batch_size`         | Number of docs in one batch (file). Once a batch is full, it will be peristed to disk. Defaults to 64. ~~int~~                                   |
 | |
| | `max_batches_in_mem` | Max. number of batches to hold in memory. Allows you to limit the effect on your memory if you're handling a lot of docs. Defaults to 4. ~~int~~ |
 | |
| 
 | |
| When retrieving a document, the `BatchCache` will first figure out what batch
 | |
| the document belongs to. If the batch isn't in memory it will try to load the
 | |
| batch from disk and then move it into memory.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that since the cache is generated by a registered function, you can also
 | |
| provide your own registered function returning your own cache implementation. If
 | |
| you wish to do so, ensure that your cache object adheres to the `Protocol`
 | |
| defined in `spacy_llm.ty.Cache`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Various functions {id="various-functions"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### spacy.FewShotReader.v1 {id="fewshotreader-v1"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| This function is registered in spaCy's `misc` registry, and reads in examples
 | |
| from a `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` or `.jsonl` file. It uses
 | |
| [`srsly`](https://github.com/explosion/srsly) to read in these files and parses
 | |
| them depending on the file extension.
 | |
| 
 | |
| > #### Example config
 | |
| >
 | |
| > ```ini
 | |
| > [components.llm.task.examples]
 | |
| > @misc = "spacy.FewShotReader.v1"
 | |
| > path = "ner_examples.yml"
 | |
| > ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Argument | Description                                                                                     |
 | |
| | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
 | |
| | `path`   | Path to an examples file with suffix `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` or `.jsonl`. ~~Union[str, Path]~~ |
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### spacy.FileReader.v1 {id="filereader-v1"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| This function is registered in spaCy's `misc` registry, and reads a file
 | |
| provided to the `path` to return a `str` representation of its contents. This
 | |
| function is typically used to read
 | |
| [Jinja](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/) files containing the prompt
 | |
| template.
 | |
| 
 | |
| > #### Example config
 | |
| >
 | |
| > ```ini
 | |
| > [components.llm.task.template]
 | |
| > @misc = "spacy.FileReader.v1"
 | |
| > path = "ner_template.jinja2"
 | |
| > ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Argument | Description                                       |
 | |
| | -------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
 | |
| | `path`   | Path to the file to be read. ~~Union[str, Path]~~ |
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Normalizer functions {id="normalizer-functions"}
 | |
| 
 | |
| These functions provide simple normalizations for string comparisons, e.g.
 | |
| between a list of specified labels and a label given in the raw text of the LLM
 | |
| response. They are registered in spaCy's `misc` registry and have the signature
 | |
| `Callable[[str], str]`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| - `spacy.StripNormalizer.v1`: only apply `text.strip()`
 | |
| - `spacy.LowercaseNormalizer.v1`: applies `text.strip().lower()` to compare
 | |
|   strings in a case-insensitive way.
 |
