Hugging Face#
This page covers how to use the Hugging Face ecosystem (including the Hugging Face Hub) within LangChain.
It is broken into two parts: installation and setup, and then references to specific Hugging Face wrappers.
Installation and Setup#
If you want to work with the Hugging Face Hub:
Install the Hub client library with pip install huggingface_hub
Create a Hugging Face account (it’s free!)
Create an access token and set it as an environment variable (HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN)
If you want work with the Hugging Face Python libraries:
Install pip install transformers for working with models and tokenizers
Install pip install datasets for working with datasets
Wrappers#
LLM#
There exists two Hugging Face LLM wrappers, one for a local pipeline and one for a model hosted on Hugging Face Hub.
Note that these wrappers only work for models that support the following tasks: text2text-generation, text-generation
To use the local pipeline wrapper:
from langchain.llms import HuggingFacePipeline
To use a the wrapper for a model hosted on Hugging Face Hub:
from langchain.llms import HuggingFaceHub
For a more detailed walkthrough of the Hugging Face Hub wrapper, see this notebook
Embeddings#
There exists two Hugging Face Embeddings wrappers, one for a local model and one for a model hosted on Hugging Face Hub.
Note that these wrappers only work for sentence-transformers models.
To use the local pipeline wrapper:
from langchain.embeddings import HuggingFaceEmbeddings
To use a the wrapper for a model hosted on Hugging Face Hub:
from langchain.embeddings import HuggingFaceHubEmbeddings
