# `langchain.chains.ernie_functions.base`.create_ernie_fn_chain

langchain.chains.ernie_functions.base.create_ernie_fn_chain(functions: Sequence[Union[Dict[str, Any], Type[BaseModel], Callable]], llm: BaseLanguageModel, prompt: BasePromptTemplate, *, output_key: str = 'function', output_parser: Optional[BaseLLMOutputParser] = None, **kwargs: Any) → LLMChain

  [Legacy] Create an LLM chain that uses Ernie functions.

  Parameters

    - functions (Sequence[Union[Dict[str, Any], Type[BaseModel], Callable]]) – A sequence of either dictionaries, pydantic.BaseModels classes, or Python functions. If dictionaries are passed in, they are assumed to already be a valid Ernie functions. If only a single function is passed in, then it will be enforced that the model use that function. pydantic.BaseModels and Python functions should have docstrings describing what the function does. For best results, pydantic.BaseModels should have descriptions of the parameters and Python functions should have Google Python style args descriptions in the docstring. Additionally, Python functions should only use primitive types (str, int, float, bool) or pydantic.BaseModels for arguments.

    - llm (BaseLanguageModel) – Language model to use, assumed to support the Ernie function-calling API.

    - prompt (BasePromptTemplate) – BasePromptTemplate to pass to the model.

    - output_key (str) – The key to use when returning the output in LLMChain.__call__.

    - output_parser (Optional[BaseLLMOutputParser]) – BaseLLMOutputParser to use for parsing model outputs. By default will be inferred from the function types. If pydantic.BaseModels are passed in, then the OutputParser will try to parse outputs using those. Otherwise model outputs will simply be parsed as JSON. If multiple functions are passed in and they are not pydantic.BaseModels, the chain output will include both the name of the function that was returned and the arguments to pass to the function.

    - kwargs (Any) –

  Returns

    An LLMChain that will pass in the given functions to the model when run.

  Return type

    LLMChain
