🦜🏗️LangChain Templates
Today we're excited to announce the release of ✨LangChain Templates✨ - a collection of easily deployable reference architectures for a wide variety of tasks
This is a new way to 🖌️create, 🤝share, ⏬download, and 💱customize chains and agents
❓How does it work?
Will do some highlights below, but full blog here: blog.langchain.dev/langserve-hub/
Explore the templates here: github.com/langchain-ai/l…
We've worked with partners to add over 40 different templates, covering a large surface area from advanced RAG, agents, extraction, OSS models, and more
🚀With the LangChain CLI you can easily start a LangChain app, and then easily download a template (containing a chain or agent).
You can then easily deploy that chain or agent with 🦜🏓LangServe - getting production ready endpoints and a playground out of the box
This all seamlessly integrates with LangSmith🦜🛠️
By having these as templates - not part of the core LangChain package - this provides several benefits:
🔎More easy to see what exactly is in the chain or agent (including prompts)
👩🍳More easy to modify the chain or agents (no longer needing to modify source code)
➕Most excitingly - easier for the community to add more chains and agents without bloating the core LangChain package! This means we can add many more OSS specific chains and agents, as well some aimed at specific tools
Big thank you to all our partners for adding templates! We are incredibly excited to see what ones the community comes up with 🔥
And if you're looking for an easy way to deploy templates with LangServe - we will be launching a 🦜🛖Hosted LangServe offering - sign up here: airtable.com/app0hN6sd93QcK…

LLM-Rec: Personalized Recommendation via Prompting Large Language Models
paper page: huggingface.co/papers/2307.15…
investigate various prompting strategies for enhancing personalized content recommendation performance with large language models (LLMs) through input augmentation. Our proposed approach, termed LLM-Rec, encompasses four distinct prompting strategies: (1) basic prompting, (2) recommendation-driven prompting, (3) engagement-guided prompting, and (4) recommendation-driven + engagement-guided prompting. Our empirical experiments show that combining the original content description with the augmented input text generated by LLM using these prompting strategies leads to improved recommendation performance. This finding highlights the importance of incorporating diverse prompts and input augmentation techniques to enhance the recommendation capabilities with large language models for personalized content recommendation.

It’s fun posting links to Threads in Twitter even if they’re “blocked” in search… such a strange, fear-based decision for Twitter to pursue. Seems like a great opportunity to rethink engagement and cross-linking to boost Twitter even if it’s a competitor #growth

In a remarkable twist of fate, a group of divers recently stumbled upon an extraordinary archeological discovery hidden beneath the serene waters of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. The accidental unearthing of a 3,000-year-old sunken village has sent shockwaves through the historical community and has provided a profound insight into the region's ancient past.
Diving deep into the depths of Lake Lucerne, archeologists found themselves immersed in a world frozen in time. Beneath a thick layer of sediment and mud, they unearthed remnants of a bygone era. Shards of pottery, reminiscent of an intricate civilization, painted a vivid picture of a flourishing society that once thrived in this picturesque region.
At the heart of this submerged village lay the remains of wooden pilings, a poignant reminder of the homes that once stood tall upon them. These wooden structures, now preserved by the lake's protective embrace, served as the foundations for houses that were inhabited over three millennia ago. It is believed that these dwellings were constructed during the Bronze Age, a period that spanned from around 3300 to 1200 BCE.
The discovery of this sunken village has rewritten the history of Lake Lucerne and its surroundings. Until now, it was widely believed that the region was sparsely populated during ancient times, with little evidence of significant settlements. However, the find demonstrates that a vibrant community existed here long before modern civilization took root.
This revelation has opened up a wealth of questions for historians and archeologists alike. Who were the people that once called this submerged village their home? What was their way of life? What led to the eventual submergence of the settlement? These inquiries may offer valuable insights into the societal dynamics and environmental changes that shaped the region during the Bronze Age.
The implications of this discovery extend far beyond the confines of Lake Lucerne. It adds another puzzle piece to the larger tapestry of human history, offering a glimpse into the lives of our ancient ancestors. The artifacts recovered from the sunken village provide a tangible link to the past, allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of our shared heritage.
The underwater archeologists responsible for this remarkable find are working meticulously to piece together the fragments of the past. They carefully document and analyze each artifact, employing cutting-edge techniques to ensure their preservation and to extract every morsel of information they hold. The diligent efforts of these experts will help unravel the mysteries of the submerged village and shed light on a previously unknown chapter of human civilization.
As news of the discovery spreads, researchers and historians from around the world are eagerly awaiting the revelations that will emerge from this extraordinary find. The submerged village in Lake Lucerne stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the inherent curiosity that drives us to uncover our past.
With every dive into the depths of Lake Lucerne, the secrets of this sunken village are slowly coming to the surface. As the story of this ancient community unfolds, it serves as a reminder that there are still hidden wonders waiting to be unearthed, even in the most unexpected places. The accidental discovery of this 3,000-year-old sunken village in Switzerland ignites our imagination and fuels our relentless pursuit of knowledge, inviting us to delve further into the annals of history and explore the vast depths of human civilization.

It’s all about the storytelling. Video is just a better medium for helping people engage with new ideas, especially those so intimately tied... threads.net/t/CuhlJlQOLGi/…

The future of AI and product development is all about use cases and superficially simple applications that take basic needs and offer solutions that don’t even need to mention that it’s AI-powered, -enabled, -augmented, -boosted, etc etc. People don’t care.
