OpenAI tools

With LCEL we can easily construct agents that take advantage of OpenAI parallel function calling (a.k.a. tool calling).

# !pip install -U openai duckduckgo-search
from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor, AgentType, Tool, initialize_agent
from langchain.agents.format_scratchpad.openai_tools import (
    format_to_openai_tool_messages,
)
from langchain.agents.output_parsers.openai_tools import OpenAIToolsAgentOutputParser
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
from langchain.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate, MessagesPlaceholder
from langchain.tools import BearlyInterpreterTool, DuckDuckGoSearchRun
from langchain.tools.render import format_tool_to_openai_tool

Tools​

For this agent let’s give it the ability to search DuckDuckGo and use Bearly’s code interpreter. You’ll need a Bearly API key, which you can get here.

lc_tools = [DuckDuckGoSearchRun(), BearlyInterpreterTool(api_key="...").as_tool()]
oai_tools = [format_tool_to_openai_tool(tool) for tool in lc_tools]

Prompt template​

We need to make sure we have a user input message and an “agent_scratchpad” messages placeholder, which is where the AgentExecutor will track AI messages invoking tools and Tool messages returning the tool output.

prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
    [
        ("system", "You are a helpful assistant"),
        ("user", "{input}"),
        MessagesPlaceholder(variable_name="agent_scratchpad"),
    ]
)

Model​

Only certain models support parallel function calling, so make sure you’re using a compatible model.

llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0, model="gpt-3.5-turbo-1106")

Agent​

We use the OpenAIToolsAgentOutputParser to convert the tool calls returned by the model into AgentActions objects that our AgentExecutor can then route to the appropriate tool.

agent = (
    {
        "input": lambda x: x["input"],
        "agent_scratchpad": lambda x: format_to_openai_tool_messages(
            x["intermediate_steps"]
        ),
    }
    | prompt
    | llm.bind(tools=oai_tools)
    | OpenAIToolsAgentOutputParser()
)

Agent executor​

agent_executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=lc_tools, verbose=True)
['memory', 'callbacks', 'callback_manager', 'verbose', 'tags', 'metadata', 'agent', 'tools', 'return_intermediate_steps', 'max_iterations', 'max_execution_time', 'early_stopping_method', 'handle_parsing_errors', 'trim_intermediate_steps']
agent_executor.invoke(
    {"input": "What's the average of the temperatures in LA, NYC, and SF today?"}
)
