LLM Query
Interact with various Large Language Models to generate text-based responses for a wide range of tasks.
LLM Query Block
This block allows you to interact with various Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate text-based responses for a wide range of tasks.
Overview
The LLM Query block provides a unified interface for interacting with different Large Language Models. It supports various LLM providers and can handle text generation, completion, summarization, translation, and other natural language processing tasks.
Configuration Options
Model Selection
Choose the LLM model to use:
- OpenAI Models: GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and other OpenAI models
- Anthropic Models: Claude models for various tasks
- Open Source Models: Local and cloud-based open source models
- Custom Models: Use custom trained or fine-tuned models
- Model Comparison: Compare responses from multiple models
Query Types
Configure the type of LLM interaction:
- Text Generation: Generate new text based on prompts
- Text Completion: Complete partial text or sentences
- Text Summarization: Summarize long texts
- Text Translation: Translate text between languages
- Question Answering: Answer questions based on context
- Code Generation: Generate code based on specifications
Parameters
- Temperature: Control randomness in responses (0.0 to 1.0)
- Max Tokens: Maximum number of tokens in response
- Top P: Nucleus sampling parameter
- Frequency Penalty: Reduce repetition in responses
- Presence Penalty: Encourage new topics in responses
How It Works
The LLM Query block:
- Receives Input: Gets text prompt and parameters from input message
- Sends Query: Sends query to selected LLM model
- Processes Response: Receives and processes LLM response
- Returns Results: Sends generated text with metadata
LLM Query Flow
Text Prompt → Model Selection → LLM Processing → Generated ResponseUse Cases
Content Generation
Generate various types of content:
content request → LLM Query → generated content → content managementText Summarization
Summarize long documents or articles:
long document → LLM Query (summarize) → summary → document processingLanguage Translation
Translate text between different languages:
source text → LLM Query (translate) → translated text → multilingual systemCode Generation
Generate code based on specifications:
code specification → LLM Query (code generation) → generated code → developmentCommon Patterns
