Convenience method for executing chain.
The main difference between this method and Chain.__call__ is that this
method expects inputs to be passed directly in as positional arguments or
keyword arguments, whereas Chain.__call__ expects a single input dictionary
with all the inputs
Parameters
*args – If the chain expects a single input, it can be passed in as the
sole positional argument.
callbacks – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in
addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
tags – List of string tags to pass to all callbacks. These will be passed in
addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime tags will propagate to calls to other objects.
**kwargs – If the chain expects multiple inputs, they can be passed in
directly as keyword arguments.
Returns
The chain output.
Example
# Suppose we have a single-input chain that takes a 'question' string:
await chain.arun("What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?")
# -> "The temperature in Boise is..."
# Suppose we have a multi-input chain that takes a 'question' string
# and 'context' string:
question = "What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?"
context = "Weather report for Boise, Idaho on 07/03/23..."
await chain.arun(question=question, context=context)
# -> "The temperature in Boise is..."

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data.

Parameters
include – fields to include in new model
exclude – fields to exclude from new model, as with values this takes precedence over include
update – values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating
the new model: you should trust this data
deep – set to True to make a deep copy of the model
Returns
new model instance

run(*args: Any, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Any¶
Convenience method for executing chain.
The main difference between this method and Chain.__call__ is that this
method expects inputs to be passed directly in as positional arguments or
keyword arguments, whereas Chain.__call__ expects a single input dictionary
with all the inputs
Parameters
*args – If the chain expects a single input, it can be passed in as the
sole positional argument.
callbacks – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in
addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
