How can I combine outputs from multiple LangChain prompts using SequentialChain in Python?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I want to combine the full outputs from several LangChain prompts into one result.

I'm using three LLM chains in a SequentialChain: one to get the full name, another to obtain the country, and the third to fetch the date of birth. However, my current setup only returns the output from the last chain (date of birth).

For example, passing 'Dhoni' as input should ideally return:
"Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the date of birth of Mahendra Singh Dhoni is July 7, 1981. He is from India"

but the actual output is:
"The date of birth of Mahendra Singh Dhoni is July 7, 1981."

Below is my code:

PYTHON
import os from constent import openai_key from langchain_community.llms import OpenAI import streamlit as st from langchain import PromptTemplate from langchain.chains import LLMChain from langchain.chains import SequentialChain os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = openai_key st.title('Search about person') input_text = st.text_input("Search about the person") llm = OpenAI(temperature = 1.0) ## Prompt Engineering. prompt1 = PromptTemplate( input_variables = ["name"], ## place holder for storing the text template = "Give the full name of {name}" ) chain1 = LLMChain(llm = llm, prompt = prompt1, verbose = True, output_key = 'person') prompt2 = PromptTemplate( input_variables = ["person"], ## place holder for storing the text template = "Give the name of the country that {person} belongs to?" ) chain2 = LLMChain(llm = llm, prompt = prompt2, verbose = True, output_key = 'country') prompt3 = PromptTemplate( input_variables = ["person"], template = "What is the date of birth of {person}?" ) chain3 = LLMChain(llm = llm, prompt = prompt3, verbose = True, output_key = 'dob') combined_chain = SequentialChain(chains=[chain1,chain2, chain3],input_variables = ["name"], output_variables=["dob"], verbose = True) #chain2 = LLMChain(llm = llm, prompt = prompt1, verbose = True) if input: st.write(combined_chain.run({"name": input_text}))

How can I modify my code to combine outputs from all chains as expected?

When you use a SequentialChain, the final output is determined by the output variables you specify when constructing the chain. In your code you only set output_variables=["dob"], so only the result from chain3 is returned. To get the results from all chains and combine them, you need to do two things:

  1. Include all the outputs you need (e.g., "person", "country", "dob") in the output_variables argument of SequentialChain.
  2. Format or combine those outputs as desired when displaying the result.

Below is an updated version of your code:

PYTHON
import os from constent import openai_key from langchain_community.llms import OpenAI import streamlit as st from langchain import PromptTemplate from langchain.chains import LLMChain, SequentialChain os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = openai_key st.title('Search about person') input_text = st.text_input("Search about the person") llm = OpenAI(temperature=1.0) # Prompt Engineering. prompt1 = PromptTemplate( input_variables=["name"], # placeholder for the input text template="Give the full name of {name}" ) chain1 = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=prompt1, verbose=True, output_key='person') prompt2 = PromptTemplate( input_variables=["person"], # placeholder for the person output from chain1 template="Give the name of the country that {person} belongs to?" ) chain2 = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=prompt2, verbose=True, output_key='country') prompt3 = PromptTemplate( input_variables=["person"], template="What is the date of birth of {person}?" ) chain3 = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=prompt3, verbose=True, output_key='dob') # Include all outputs from each chain combined_chain = SequentialChain( chains=[chain1, chain2, chain3], input_variables=["name"], output_variables=["person", "country", "dob"], verbose=True ) if input_text: outputs = combined_chain.run({"name": input_text}) # Combine the outputs into a single message as expected full_output = (f"{outputs['person']} and the date of birth of {outputs['person']} is {outputs['dob']}. " f"He is from {outputs['country']}.") st.write(full_output)

Explanation

  • Output Variables: By setting output_variables=["person", "country", "dob"], the SequentialChain now returns a dictionary containing the output of each chain.
  • Formatting the Final Result: The combined result is formatted into one output string which includes the full name (from chain1), the date of birth (from chain3), and the country (from chain2).

Now when you pass "Dhoni" as the input text, you should receive an output similar to:

"Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the date of birth of Mahendra Singh Dhoni is July 7, 1981. He is from India."

We can use another chain to combine the outputs from the existing chains. For your given example, we can store person, country and date of birth from the existing chains. Then, we can add another chain that is instructed to combine all these information together.

PYTHON
from langchain_community.llms import OpenAI from langchain import PromptTemplate from langchain.chains import LLMChain from langchain.chains import SequentialChain input_text = "Mahendra Singh" llm = OpenAI(temperature = 1.0) ## Prompt Engineering. prompt1 = PromptTemplate( input_variables = ["name"], ## place holder for storing the text template = "Give the full name of {name}" ) chain1 = LLMChain(llm = llm, prompt = prompt1, verbose = True, output_key = 'person') prompt2 = PromptTemplate( input_variables = ["person"], ## place holder for storing the text template = "Give the name of the country that {person} belongs to?" ) chain2 = LLMChain(llm = llm, prompt = prompt2, verbose = True, output_key = 'country') prompt3 = PromptTemplate( input_variables = ["person"], template = "What is the date of birth of {person}?" ) chain3 = LLMChain(llm = llm, prompt = prompt3, verbose = True, output_key = 'dob') prompt4 = PromptTemplate( input_variables = ["person", "country", "dob"], template = "Merge these information {person}, {country}, {dob} to create a meaningful sentence." ) chain4 = LLMChain(llm = llm, prompt = prompt4, verbose = True, output_key = 'summary') combined_chain = SequentialChain(chains=[chain1,chain2, chain3, chain4],input_variables = ["name"], output_variables=["summary"], verbose = True) #chain2 = LLMChain(llm = llm, prompt = prompt1, verbose = True) if input_text: print(combined_chain.run({"name": input_text}))

Input Mahendra Singh

Output Mahendra Singh Dhoni, born on July 7, 1981, is from India.
