Caching

LangChain提供了LLM的可选缓存层。这对两个原因很有用$：

如果您经常多次请求相同的完成，它可以通过减少您对LLM提供者的API调用次数来为您节省资金。 它可以通过减少您对LLM提供者的API调用次数来加快应用程序的速度。

import langchain
from langchain.llms import OpenAI

# To make the caching really obvious, lets use a slower model.
llm = OpenAI(model_name="text-davinci-002", n=2, best_of=2)

内存缓存（In Memory Cache）

from langchain.cache import InMemoryCache
langchain.llm_cache = InMemoryCache()

# The first time, it is not yet in cache, so it should take longer
llm("Tell me a joke")

    CPU times: user 35.9 ms, sys: 28.6 ms, total: 64.6 ms
    Wall time: 4.83 s
    

    "\n\nWhy couldn't the bicycle stand up by itself? It was...two tired!"

The second time it is, so it goes faster
llm("Tell me a joke")

    CPU times: user 238 µs, sys: 143 µs, total: 381 µs
    Wall time: 1.76 ms


    '\n\nWhy did the chicken cross the road?\n\nTo get to the other side.'

SQLite 缓存（SQLite Cache）

rm .langchain.db

We can do the same thing with a SQLite cache
from langchain.cache import SQLiteCache
langchain.llm_cache = SQLiteCache(database_path=".langchain.db")

The first time, it is not yet in cache, so it should take longer
llm("Tell me a joke")

    CPU times: user 17 ms, sys: 9.76 ms, total: 26.7 ms
    Wall time: 825 ms


    '\n\nWhy did the chicken cross the road?\n\nTo get to the other side.'

The second time it is, so it goes faster
llm("Tell me a joke")

    CPU times: user 2.46 ms, sys: 1.23 ms, total: 3.7 ms
    Wall time: 2.67 ms


    '\n\nWhy did the chicken cross the road?\n\nTo get to the other side.'

链中的可选缓存（Optional Caching in Chains）

您还可以关闭链中特定节点的缓存。请注意，由于某些接口的原因，先构建链，然后再编辑 LLM 通常更容易。

例如，我们将加载一个摘要映射-减少链。我们将对映射步骤的结果进行缓存，但不对合并步骤进行冻结。

llm = OpenAI(model_name="text-davinci-002")
no_cache_llm = OpenAI(model_name="text-davinci-002", cache=False)

from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.chains.mapreduce import MapReduceChain

text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter()

with open('../../../state_of_the_union.txt') as f:
    state_of_the_union = f.read()
texts = text_splitter.split_text(state_of_the_union)

from langchain.docstore.document import Document
docs = [Document(page_content=t) for t in texts[:3]]
from langchain.chains.summarize import load_summarize_chain

chain = load_summarize_chain(llm, chain_type="map_reduce", reduce_llm=no_cache_llm)

chain.run(docs)

    CPU times: user 452 ms, sys: 60.3 ms, total: 512 ms
    Wall time: 5.09 s


    '\n\nPresident Biden is discussing the American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which will create jobs and help Americans. He also talks about his vision for America, which includes investing in education and infrastructure. In response to Russian aggression in Ukraine, the United States is joining with European allies to impose sanctions and isolate Russia. American forces are being mobilized to protect NATO countries in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west. The Ukrainians are bravely fighting back, but the next few weeks will be hard for them. Putin will pay a high price for his actions in the long run. Americans should not be alarmed, as the United States is taking action to protect its interests and allies.'

当我们再次运行它时，我们发现它运行得更快，但最终的答案是不同的。这是由于在映射步骤中进行了缓存，但在减少步骤中没有进行缓存。

chain.run(docs)

    CPU times: user 11.5 ms, sys: 4.33 ms, total: 15.8 ms
    Wall time: 1.04 s
